《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》The Fire
Advertisement
Squid's PoV:
Tom had just left to go to bed and I had decided to stay with Izzy. She seemed really nice but I had no idea why she was here. She wasn't that clean and looked like she hadn't had a shower for a few days. So I asked her,"What were you and Flo doing out there?" Her expression changed and I could tell she was thinking about what to say but then her expression changed again, to pain, and jolted up. However she must've sat up to quickly and her dizziness came back. She fell, I lent out to catch her but I suddenly felt huge pain in my arm so I pulled away, backwards. I felt my burnt arm hit into something warm, not hot just warm. I felt myself hit the ground and so I just layed there. I don't know how long I was there but it felt like it was only a few minutes. I could feel heat behind me and I could smell smoke, I heard the fire alarm go off and Tom, Nicole and Flo running down the stairs. I heard distant sirens and then Tom came in he tried to grab me and pull me out, "Tom, no. Get Izzy." I said to him. "No. I'm taking you." With the last strength I had I fought against his grip and finally he obeyed and I felt him move over to Izzy and he ran out of the room. Suddenly he was back and pulling me, this time I let him. He pulled me out of the room and into the hallway where I felt two strong men pick me up and take me outside. I was placed in a bed and taken into an ambulance. There were people all around me, then as I was being fitted with a breathing tube, most of them left and went to the other side of the ambulance. I looked over and I could see Izzy, she had the same as me, she was on a bed, she had a breathing tube, the only difference between her and me was that I was awake and she definitely wasn't.

*Time Skip*
I was sitting in my ward, the doctors had bandaged my burnt arm up and I still had the breathing tube on although that would be off soon, other than that I was fine. I was really worried about the house, the pets but strangely, even though I had only just met her, I was mostly worried about Izzy. Just then Nicole came rushing in and she hugged me. She looked like she had been crying. "Look I'm fine." I told her. "Are you sure?" She asked me. I nodded as it was had to speak through the breathing tube. Then, conveniently a doctor came in and told me that I no longer needed the tube and he removed it. He told me that I needed to rest my voice so that meant no recording for the next week. I sighed but I guess it was to be expected and I'm sure the fans would understand.
Nicole then told me that the house was fine only the sitting room has been damaged as the firemen had been able to get to it quick enough. Also the firemen had managed to rescue all the pets and they were with Ash at his house now. That was a relief, I trusted Ash with them. "How is Izzy?" I asked. "She's fine. Flo is with her now." I nodded with relief. I don't know why I cared about her so much.
Then a man that I had never seen in my life came in. He introduced himself as Adam the head care worker at the kids home that Izzy and Flo had come from. So they were care kids, I had no idea. He explained that they had run away and that they were grateful for us looking after them. He also said that they would be going to the care home in Huddersfield for two weeks which would be enough time for them to get better and then they would go back to there normal care home. They have already left. I nodded I was so sad, I would miss Izzy and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I mean Flo was nice but really I liked Izzy more. Adam left just as Tom entered. "Who was that man?" Tom said looking confused. Nicole explained everything to him. I turned and looked at Nicole. "Can we adopt Izzy." She looked shocked and so did Tom. "We barely know her. So no." She said. I looked down in disappointment.
The doctor came back in, "David Spencer." He said. I nodded. "You can go home now, we have been informed that your sitting room has been blocked off and it is now safe for you to go back to your house. Do not go inside the sitting room." He said looking at all of us. We nodded and I climbed out of bed and we left the hospital. I climbed into the front passenger seat, Nicole sat in the drivers seat and Tom climbed in the back. We started to drive home in silence. I didn't really want to talk I was angry at Nicole for saying "No" but I guess I couldn't blame her. It was true we barely knew her.

I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead
"Ah, how I wish I could be summoned to another world." I’d always thought of such a naive wish of escapism would never be granted. However, shit happened and I was somehow summoned. However, in some strange twist of fate, I was no longer needed and disposed of, but that’s okay because I didn’t want to be a summoned hero to begin with. My new beginning may have been abruptly cut short, but even so, that is fine. There is a path I’m much more interested in. Mwuhahaha! Cough cough cough. Though, my sinister laugh may still need some practice. I was Summoned as a Hero , but I Became the Demon Lord Instead Volume 1 Word Count: 108K Including Volume Exclusive Content Available on Amazon Edit: If you don’t get the timeline that’s because the rate at which time flows in different worlds are not equal. In addition, timelines do not neccesarily run parallel to each other, they may cascade such that when summoned to another world you may get summoned from a different reference frame in the timeline of another world’s with respect to your own. Scientific constants can change from one plane to the next. The natural laws that govern each world is not necessarily the same across them all. Some may display similarities, while others may be the complete opposite where rather than aging forwards you actually age in reverse. Newborns could be born elderly and withered, but when they are born into the world, their body regresses towards death in reverse.

Since the day she was born, the Lady Eithne of Dolgallu has lived under a magical prohibition: she may not marry before the omens are deemed favorable. Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the Drymyn Order, a mysterious sect of powerful priests and priestesses, have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged. But Eithne has the right to accept—or reject—her suitor. She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come. Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind—all the things any woman might ask from a man. But there’s the way of it: this is the man, you must marry him. Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice? Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it. So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, “No”? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?
