《The Academy 3》34
Advertisement
I was lying in bed like a depressed person. I had baggy sweats on and an oversized hoodie. Wasn't my signature look, so I really did look like a homeless person. The only positive thing that's happened in the past few days was the boot I had gotten. I no longer had to wheel around. I was playing Lana Del Ray to cheer me up. Ironic? I know.
I heard my door be thrown open. I groaned at Tamsin's annoying face. I placed the hoodie on my head and drew the drawstring so I wouldn't have to see her. I heard Tamsin walk closer until I felt my bed dip. She then released the drawstring, so that I could see her. She had a nervous look on her face. Why does she look constipated?
"Do you need to use my bathroom or something?" She was confused. "Or did you run out of toilet paper?" She glared and hit me.
"I need to tell you something and I'm really nervous about it." She sat up. She pulled her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her knees and rested her chin atop. "I think you'll hate me after I tell you this." She mumbled.
"Tamsin, I can't hate you more than I already do." I gave her a teasing smile, but she only lowered her eyes. "Tamzi, I'm joking. I don't hate you. You're my sister. I may not always show it, but I do love you-"
"I'm the reason Nic kissed Willa." I arched a brow at her. "I blackmailed Willa into seducing Nic. I made her kiss Nic and take a picture so that I could out her at school." She quickly said. "I didn't know that she was dating you or-"

"Leave." I said through gritted teeth.
"Ali, I'm sorry-"
"Now, dammit!" She flinched. "First, you had Rohan try to rape her! You wanted it filmed so you could distribute the tape around the school! You wanted to-"
"YOU WHAT?!" Zara was livid and marched into the room. "YOU PAID A GUY TO RAPE HER?! HOW SICK ARE YOU?!"
"Tamsin, why would you-" Gem got caught off by Zara.
"You are a disgusting animal! You don't deserve-"
"Get out, Tamsin." I seethed. "You have been the problem from the start of my relationship-"
"I took the blame for you!" Tamsin cut me off. "I tried to take the blame from you updating her scholarship, but she knew it was you and not me." She began crying. "I'm trying to right my wrongs. I'm so sorry!"
"Tamsin-"
"No, Gemma! She doesn't get pity. She needs to be held accountable for her actions." Zara stated.
"So if it wasn't for you, then Nicola would've never cheated on me." I wondered aloud. "You're really making it hard for me not to hate you Tamsin." I narrowed my eyes at her.
"You had her get raped!" Zara yelled.
Zara was out of character. She was furious. Normally, she's blasé. I'm especially confused since I've never seen her get so mad about Tamsin harming someone else.
"No! He didn't go through with it-"
"I saved her." I glared at Tamsin. "With his pants down, about to enter her, I ripped him off her." I spat. "If I was a second too slow-"
"I was raped." All eyes went to Zara. "I was raped by Ben and-" She broke down in Gem's arms. "He-He drugged me and then... he kept going. He refused to stop when I was begging him. It-It hurt and..." She was hysterically crying.

"Z." Tamsin and I got up to hug our sister.
"Why-"
"I was humiliated." She choked out. "I didn't want you guys thinking any lesser of me." She clung onto her twin. "It scarred me from trusting men. That's why I didn't want to be with Ryder. I was scared he'd hurt me the same way." She then dryly chuckled. "I guess that's one of my secrets."
"Chico and I were on the wrong side of Brazil." Gemma began. "We were then threatened to deliver some weed. We then got caught by the cops." She sighed. "I always made it sound like it was ours, but we were actually threatened by a gang to deliver the stuff."
"I'm the reason Laurens was addicted to cocaine." Tamsin admitted. "I used to do it recreationally and got Laurens to try it. I immediately stopped when he got addicted to the substance." She wiped a tear. "I had trailed him to an alley once and saw that he was trying to buy a brick. The guy wanted more money, but Laurens yelled that the guy was ripping him off. The guy pulled a gun. Laurens had seen me and stood protectively in front of me. They guy mugged us and ran off." She took a shaky breath. "That was the start of Laurens being open to sobriety."
"Skye had pressured me into sleeping with her. She played mind games and fucked me up mentally. She made it hard for me to trust and love others. I kept my heart cold and built a brick wall around it." I sighed.
"Ali, I'm so sorry for what I did. I regret it everyday." Tamsin held my hands. "Please forgive me."
"You should be saying those words to Nicola and not me." I yanked my hands away. "When she decides to forgive you, come back to me."
I went to leave, but I heard the sound of my phone. I scrunched a brow and walked over to it. My eyes widened at the text:

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Bells and Taxes
The territory of Palmetto, ragged and mean, was once the banishing lands for the kings of the Old World. In that sea of hills they exiled their enemies, their upstarts, the deposed tyrants and rebels who came too close. Ancient prisons emptied their depths into Palmetto. Persecuted tribes fled to the refuge of its hideaway valleys. After a century and some, the land of Palmetto had evolved into a patchwork of flimsy feudalism, cult compounds, and grift economies. The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
