"-so it must equal 84" i finished, staring at the math textbook in front of me.
"good girl" mr gordon whispered in my ear, "i'm beginning to think that you don't need these lessons after all. maybe you're just here because you really do want me"
i had to try to control the vomit that was rising in my throat after hearing his words.
"nope" i replied, "i'm here because i need the extra help"
but i shouldn't have said that.
i received a hard slap across the face.
"don't you dare speak to me like that" he spat at me.
i could feel anger pumping through my veins and tears pricking my eyes.
"say you're sorry" he said.
i kept quiet.
"NOW" he growled.
"i-i'm sorry" i whimpered, feeling absolutely pathetic.
"good girl" he said, "now get out of my sight. you will receive your punishment tomorrow"
i had never ran so fast in my life, and i didn't stop until i was at the library.
"are you alright, dear?" asked janet, looking quite concerned. "you're out of breath!"
"yes" i answered, forcing a smile. "i just couldn't wait to get here"
it was a terrible excuse, but terrible excuses always worked on janet.
i took out my book and settled down onto my beanbag.
"are you sure you're alright?" asked scar boy from his armchair.
i was slightly taken aback. i was so caught up in my own thoughts that i hadn't even noticed he was there.
"y-yes" i stuttered, trying not to catch his gaze.
i was afraid that if i let him look into my eyes, he would know that i was lying.
"i'm remus, by the way. remus lupin."
even his name was beautiful.
"i'm evelyn hart" i replied.
"that's a.. that's a very p-pretty name" he stammered, whilst that shade of pink rose to his cheeks again.
"thank you" i smiled softly.
he didn't say anything else, and once again looked at his book.
but his eyes weren't actually moving across the page.
"happy reading, remus" i whispered.
"happy reading, evelyn" he replied.
that night we walked home together.
it was 11pm and pitch black, but i felt safe with him.
i felt safe with him from the moment i first laid eyes on him.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.
