Tag and sneak peek at chapter 3
So people must really want to know about me because this is the third time I have been tagged in the last four days. I am only going to do fifteen facts because I don't think I can think up forty-five facts about myself. Plus the tag only requires fifteen. So let's get started.
Rules:
1. You must write 15 facts about yourself.
2. You must tag fifteen people.
3. You must complete tag within a week.
Ok so now that that's over with her are my facts:
1. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Though one of my brothers died in the womb, he still counts.
2. I am involved in many activities at school. Including the swim team, drama, FFA (future farmers of America) and class council.
3. I am very old-fashioned. I want to play an instrument, sew, cook and embroider. I want to stay at home and manage my household when I have children. I try to treat everyone with kindness and compassion. Honestly, I think I read too many princess books.
4. I don't tolerate swearing. I refuse to say those foul words or allow people in my company too. Once in class, we were reading aloud and the main character started to swear and I realized right before that line. I was panicking going "uh........uh...........umm......Sam, you read."
5. I have an overactive imagination. It runs away with thoughts and pulls me into its clutches any chance it gets.
6. When I get older I want to live in a small town. Where everybody knows everybody and the population is like 200 people. I don't know why but that sounds amazing to me.
7. When I was seven my six-year-old cousin taught me how to run the barrels. It is a rodeo contest where you have to run a horse around three barrels. It is my favorite rodeo event to watch.
8. My favorite cousin is exactly eleven years and one day older than me. He told my mother he wanted me to be born on his birthday but I was born ten minutes before. He is like a much older protective brother. Jeremy is based on him.
9. I write really slowly. I worked on the first chapter for two years.
10. My favorite books are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Eragon, Queen's Thief series, and the Ascendance trilogy.
11. I love hanging out with my cousins. The older ones are slowly moving away and leaving me. The Meanies.
12. I LOVE candy. It is what gets me through all my homework and sometimes class too.
13. If I were a Disney princess I would be Belle. I love to read, am totally oblivious to gossip and other things going on around me, and I would probably give up my family and my freedom for a stranger if it was an option. I am extremely selfless. In my mind, everyone is more important than myself.
14. I am always myself. I know I am strange but fitting in never made sense to me. Why should we all be the same that would be so boring? I like when things are different. It's more fun and seems more normal.
15. I was out of things to write on number three.
Ok so now I have to tag fifteen more people. Let's see:
There's
As for Hiding the Pearl here's a sneak peek at the next chapter. Also, this chapter is dedicated to Pennywithaney for marking me a beautiful cover.
Chapter 3: Games
Cotis was waiting, on my bed when I got to my room. He was not facing me when I emerged from the passage. He showed no sign of having heard the small 'click' of the latch as the secret door closed. He just sat there.
Then I heard him mutter "I should have never left him. I knew he would disappear. I'm so stupid."
He buried his head in his hands whispered barely audible "please if anyone of the gods are listening, please let Jeremy be alive, please."
"Cotis," I asked softly. He jumped up and engulfed me in a hug.
"You're alive," he exclaimed squeezing me even tighter.
"Why wouldn't I be," I asked confused. Cotis pushed me away harshly.
"You idiot. I told you not to disappear and what do you do, you disappear. I thought you were dead." His face showed anger but his eyes were filled with relief.
I was still confused "but why would I be dead?"
Cotis sighed " Last night, we had been searching for you for hours when we found him. An assassin, he started to boast about how he had killed you. He ... he told us how he split your throat and watched as the life leave your eyes and your blood stain the floor. Then Sam drove his sword through his heart, silencing him. We searched everywhere but could not find you. I came here in case you weren't dead and decided to come back to your room. I thought you were dead. I had given up hope. I thought he had killed you. His hands were covered in blood when we found him. I didn't think you survived."
"Cotis," I spoke slowly "he had to have killed someone if his hand were covered in blood. Do you know who he killed?"
Cotis shook his head "We did not find any bodies. He might not have killed anyone."
"But then where did the blood come from?"
"Lots of things bleed Jermy not just people. It could have been the blood of any number of things."
"I guess," I said not convinced.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Cotis got up to answer it with his hand on his sword. It was a page.
The page said, "My prince, the king requests your presence in the throne room immediately."
"Tell him that I will be there shortly," I said dismissing him.
