《Being Thomas Sander's Foster Kid》Meeting The New Family
Advertisement
"Aricka, we're here." the girl looks from the window into Miss Jamie's eyes. "This is where your new family lives. Thomas, remember?"
She nods. "The 'Tuber, right?"
"That's right. He's going to take care of you now."
"He won't hurt me, right?"
"No, he won't."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamie and Aricka walk up to the door, and Jamie knocks. A few moments later, Logan-who Aricka didn't know yet-answered. "Hello again, Jamie. Is this Aricka?"
"That's right, Logan." Jamie answers. Bending down, she says, "Aricka, this is Logan-he's a friend of Thomas', okay?" silently, the girl nods. "What do you say?"
"Hi Logan." it was a whisper, but it was progress, at least. Logan held out his hand to the girl, and she shyly took it. His was so big and warm compared to hers, it was almost laughable.
"Thank you for bringing her here, Jamie," Logan says, and Jamie nods.
"Call me if you need anything-my number is on the card. Aricka, you have my cell number, right?" the girl nods. "Okay, sweetie. I'll see you in a month." Oh yes, the monthly check-ins.
"Bye Jamie," Aricka whispers again, and Logan leads her inside.

"Thomas! Aricka is here!" Logan suddenly yells, making her jump. "Apologies, Aricka." he quickly says. Footsteps could be heard, and then Thomas was there. He bends down to her level.
"Hi, Aricka. Remember me?" she nods, managing a small smile.
"Hi again Thomas." she still clung to Logan-he was nice, she thought. And he apologized when he scared me.
"I was just finishing your room-do you want to see it?" her eyes widen.
"My own room?" Thomas nods, and Logan had to fight back his anger-this little girl never had her own room? "I always wanted my own room."

Aricka gasps as Logan leads her in-she was still holding his hand tight. "Do you like it?" Logan asks. Wordlessly, she nods, letting go of his hand to grab the giant Stitch that was on the step next to her bed.
"Stitch," she whispers. "I like Stich," she says-sounding like Lilo for a second. Logan and Thomas watch, afraid to speak-she didn't say half of this when they first met. She turns, her big blue eyes bright and teary. "If I go, can I keep him?"
Thomas crosses the room and hugs her. "Hopefully, you don't have to go. You can stay here, and we can be a family. Would you like that?" she bites her lip, nervous. "It's okay if you don't answer that now. We have a long time to decide that, okay?"
"Okay."

Our Chaoz; Our Reality (Completed)
Everyone has their own reasons, be it past events, personality or simply company. But most at some point divulge themselves into videogaming, be it for entertainment or more compettitive reasons. In this year and age there are many genres of gaming, one specific genre though still holds on tight to the ledge it was pushed to trying to pull itself back up. MMORPGs were once the top of everybody's list, adventure, combat, storytelling and endless grind in one single game. It was a different life for most, as if a parallel world to our own. You could be a knight indulging yourself in combat, a mage expertly crafting spells of mass destruction or creation. A ranger exploring the land and hunting down prey, an assassin completing contracts and hording the spoils. A troll scamming children out of their hard earned 10 gold and making more hardcore players rage quit for the day. Or something else. Kyle was a simple player, he always picked the strangest classes or jobs and his characters almost looked the same. He played for the combat, he played for the grind and he played for his guild but above all he played for the story. Kyle is a roleplayer, one who enjoys the simple parts of this virtual life. Whether his guild was starting a war or ending one he'd always have his drammatic entrence or exit, his decleration of annihalition or demand of surrender. After all that? He divulged himself in the game's story, the interaction with NPCS (Non Player Characters) and their advanced AI. He went through many questlines, many tales of heroics and many more adventurers of legend but one thing always remained true with his character. Kyle absolutely loved to the play the villain. But when game turns reality, what will he and his guild of twisted personalities do?
