《Future untold》Cover

Carry's sculpture sat on the nightstand while she did her homework. She laid on the bed with her tablet, completing the geometry assignment. Caitlin and Barry hid in Carry's closet, this is her conscious again.
"Hey Carry, want to play cards?" Nora stood in the doorway, shuffling a pack of playing cards.
"Sure," Carry said. She and Nora sat on the white carpet and began to play multiplication war. They would each lay out a card and the first one to guess the product of the two numbers won. The rounds went by fast, Carry won all except three. "I'll get it next time!"
"No you won't!" They both laughed while Nora shuffled the deck.
"I have an idea on how to get Carry back," Caitlin whispered. "Memories are constantly warped, changed by the brain to match the person's feelings about the memory, I think I know why this seems so perfect..."
"Because it's not real," Barry finished her thought. The laughter stopped when Caitlin opened the closet door. Nora disappeared from the room.
"I told you I didn't want to go." Carry stood up from the floor and sat on her bed.
"We aren't giving up on you Carry."
"Well you have to, because I'm not leaving!"
"Carry... this isn't real, not even this memory is real, your mind changed it." Ice burst through the door. "Flash!" Right on cue, Barry ran and began to fight Ice. He threw her and when she hit the ground the room dissipated, showing the real memory.
Nora sat on Carry's bed, the ice sculpture in her hands. Caitlin, Carry, and Barry stood off to the side as Carry walked in the room. They watched everything play out.
"Hey!" She noticed her prized possession was out of place. "Give it back!" Carry went up and tried to take it out of Nora's hands.

"I was just holding it!" Nora pulled back. They both attempted to get the fragile ice sculpture away from each other. With a snap it broke apart, knocking the girls off balance. Carry held the base of it and Nora a piece of the snowflake.
"No..." Carry's eyes started to water, "It's all your fault!" She screamed. Nora set the piece on Carry's nightstand and stood up.
"You're the one who tried to take it out of my hands!" Nora argued. Carry was beginning to lose control again, her eyes turned blue. Iris heard the commotion and rushed in.
"What is going on in here?" She asked. Iris calmed Carry down before things got out of hand.
"Sh-she broke it!" Carry picked up the pieces of her sculpture.
"I didn't break it! I came in here and Carry started freaking out," Nora lied.
"No!" Carry's brown eyes became blue, "You always lie!" Ice screamed, she struck Nora in the arm with an ice shard and Carry's hair turned blue. Ice completely took over. Nora cried out and held her frostbitten arm.
"Carry... you need to come back," Iris said. She slowly backed up, staying in between Nora and Ice. Ice didn't say anything, she ran to the only window above their bed and jumped out. Ice was going to help her mom. "Carry!" Iris shouted from the second story window. She ignored her and continued walking down the paved street.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

Seclusion
I look at the mountain of paperwork before me. I'm overworked. Slowly, my eyes fall shut. I'm so tired of this... A loud 'bang' caused by dropping off another pile of paperwork made me bolt upright. My maid stands before, scorn in her eyes. Annoyed, I wave her away—this is not the first time that that has happened. And she is not the only one who does that. 'Hated by my own people,' I sigh internally and rub my temples. This is not what my 'freedom' was supposed to look like. My eyes hover over the ring on my finger. I tried, you know? Right now, I only want everything to stop. Maybe read some books, eat something delicious, and nap as often as I want to. Wait...I am the matriarch! Hell, I can do whatever I want! Books? I can pocket whole libraries in my domain. Food? Also, in my domain. Naps? Well, there are many cuddly nooks in there. Sooo...my domain has everything I need—dunno why I never thought of this before. All that's left is to relocate its entrance to another totally secret place. How about that hidden forest temple? Yes, let's go with this! Goodbye obligations, goodbye people who always want to take over, goodbye enemies, and at last, good riddance to the council that tries to marry me off to one of these fat ugly narcissistic nobles. Uhh, I just hope nothing will go wrong during my long-term absence. Nahhh, nothing will happen at all; I am totally sure of it...probably. ______ This is the rewrite of the old story: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/273362/seclusion-old-version--dropped/ Alternate Titel: I lived so long in seclusion that everybody forgot about me
