Five Roads, One Path (Page 7.)

Jason had Keya follow him to his car, which happened to be a silver Mercedes. The girl was amazed at how clean it was and she complimented the gang leader in her head. Jason took out his keys to unlock it before telling Keya to get in. He gestured to the back passenger door on the left and Keya complied. The girl looked around the interior of the vehicle, feeling more and more impressed. It didn't look messy in the slightest, seeming almost as good as new. The only difference was that it had the faint scent of smoke. Which she supposed was understandable since he liked to use cigarettes. Keya felt she was probably crazy for doing something like this, but it's not like she could just get up and run. She buckled herself and waited for the gang leader to start the car. She heard Jason's buckle click in place after he entered the vehicle and closed the door. He drove away from the curb to head to another neighborhood where his gang resided. Jason didn't have much to say as he

Although Keya was concerned about the gangster's intentions, she became determined not to be used by him in any way that could compromise her body. Anger started to rise up within her, but she chose not to lash out just yet. After all, Jason hasn't attempted anything. *"If he goes any further, I'll kick him where it hurts!"* She thought to herself. In seeing the expression on Keya's face, Jason decided to clarify what he meant. He whispered that he didn't mean that he intended for her to sleep with him. Which confused the girl for a minute. Jason told her that he was referring to making deliveries for other people. "But wouldn't I be too young to be a mail person?" Keya asked, earning a chuckle out of the gangster. "The job I'm talkin about doesn't require an age limit." He whispered back. He got up from his seat to ask her to go on a walk with him so he could explain. Keya wasn't sure about this but was curious to know about his offer. Jason waited for her at the

The Next Morning... Keya cracked open her eyes and sat up in her sleeping bag groggily. She gave a stretch with a small moan then put her arms down. Afterwards she remained in place to think about where she wanted to go to buy breakfast. Keya wanted something a little healthier than the food she had yesterday and thought to go to a Subway. That was the perfect choice in her opinion. However, once she realized how far she'd have to walk to get to one her smile faded. Keya lowered her head with a sigh. She was not in the mood for traveling to the only Subway she knew of, so that plan was out. Even if she missed getting their sandwiches. The last time Keya went there was two months ago. When she was driven there by a staff member from the foster care center. Keya shook her head at the memory with a growl. *"I really need to stop thinking about that place."* She thought to herself. She decided to focus back on her minor dilemma. Keya tried to make up her mind on where

After Keya woke up from her nap, she got ready to go out again. Around this time, the sun was setting in the sky. The girl wanted to buy dinner for herself before going on her robbing spree. She took some cash with her to another fast-food place that was a little closer to her area than the "Taco Bell" she went to in the morning. Once she ate her fill and drank some water from a bottle she bought from the same place, Keya went back to the abandoned building. Well, not without taking a bathroom break in a functional public restroom. She put on the trench coat she usually wore at night, equipped herself with the fake weapon she had, and put on a pair of black tennis shoes. Keya preferred to avoid wearing her signature sandals at night, because she didn't want to mess them up while running from the crime scenes she caused. Keya thought about buying a black mask or bandana to conceal part of her face. Even though she's been doing pretty good at keeping people from taking a peek at her

After Keya left the park, she went sight- seeing for a bit before heading back to the abandoned building. She had an idea of which areas she wanted to go to tonight when she'd search for potential victims. Of course, she didn't plan on stealing from too many people. That would be crazy. Just a few would be enough for her. Keya laid out her plan in her mind, then went over to a piece of fabric that had something hidden underneath it. She took out what looked like a gun. However, if you looked closely you could see that it was fake. The girl stared at it as she remembered how and when she made this. It was back at the foster care center when she had started planning to run away. Keya had taken a lot of time to organize her thoughts on where else she could live, how to avoid danger, and gain what she needed to survive. Though she didn't want to use her old pick-pocketing tactics that she learned from a group of criminals. After she was kidnapped awhile back. The only thing the

Keya casually walked down the sidewalk, keeping her eyes and ears on alert. Although it was daylight, she didn't want to take a chance on running into trouble. She made sure not to seem too obvious about her actions in case she attracted the wrong attention. Keya stopped at a crosswalk when the light changed, then looked both ways before proceeding to cross the street when it was safe. Today she was taking a different route to get something to eat. Keya wasn't sure if the news about her missing from the foster care center made the headlines on tv, but she didn't want to go to the same place twice in a row. Just in case. During her time out on her own she's learned to memorize the name of the streets. She knew the long ways and shortcuts back to the abandoned building, as well as several fast- food businesses. Which is why Keya never worried about getting lost. The girl decided on a Taco Bell to get breakfast. She casually entered through the front door of the place, not

Chapter 1. "Why does life have to end up like this? One minute it's perfect, and the next it goes wrong? I guess I'll never understand it, but fate stinks." Thought a girl by the name of Keya. She was on her knees staring down at the money she stole from the night before. An abandoned building was where she was currently living, and the girl didn't intend on leaving the premises any time soon. Keya was an orphan that hated her life but was trying to make do with what she had. Things weren't always like this though. She once lived in a cozy home with her parents and sister. Then after the divorce took place, only Keya, her mom, and sister Maya remained in the house. The three of them made many happy memories together. However, everything changed when a group of people invaded their home. Keya and Maya's mother died trying to protect them, and the girls were kidnapped. Which ultimately led to their separation. Keya had thankfully managed to escape her captors, but

Valerie was currently anxious as she waited for her family to return. She was avoiding eye contact with Lance, resenting the fact that his explanation would get her into more trouble. However, as nervous as she was, she was hoping that her sisters would reach to the treehouse site before her grandparents did. She soon glanced over at Lance, who was casually waiting in place with his arms crossed over his chest. Valerie looked away again and sighed. Figuring that perhaps now would be the best time to distract herself from her worries by starting a conversation with him. "Mr. Lance?" Lance looked over at her with a blank expression. "Hmm?" The girl faced him again. "How did a nice person like you end up alone in the first place?" Her question surprised Lance and he raised his eyebrows. Valerie wondered if it wasn't her place to ask and tried to correct herself in case he was upset. She waved her hands at him, signaling for him not to be offended. "I-I mean if you don't

Valerie was still lying on her back looking up at the sky. She couldn't think of anything else that could help her get reunited with her siblings. That is, until she remembered one important detail. She thought back to last night when she ran towards the tree to get away from the buck. Valerie then stood up to walk a distance away from the tree. Lance watched her carefully, silently wondering if she had an idea. The girl took a few steps to the left and stopped. In her head she was envisioning how the plant looked at night, when the light of the moon was shining on it. At that moment, she recalled which side of the tree she ran up to when she was desperately trying to find safety. Valerie's eyes widened, and she looked behind herself to see one of the thicker parts of the forest. "That's it." She softly said to herself. Her attention went back to Lance. "Mr. Lance I've got it!" Excitement was written on her face. "You've got what?" He asked. "I know where to go."

Fifteen minutes passed as Valerie struggled to remember what direction she came from when she was chased by the deer last night. Lance sighed, feeling that they weren't getting anywhere fast. The girl started to think the same thing. She got upset at the lack of progress she was making. She threw up her hands in anger. "Gaaah! This is a complete waste of time." Valerie lowered herself to the ground, hiding her face in her knees. "I'll never get home like this." Lance walked up to her and crouched down to put a hand on her shoulder. "Why don't we take a break?" Valerie lifted her head a little to look at him. "It's easier to think when you're not stressed." The man added. The girl sighed. "Fine." Both she and Lance went to sit on the hill together. They were silent as they tried to relax and figure out what else they could do to solve their problem. The man was looking out into the distance, while Valerie focused on the grass. On the inside she was

My Bio

I'm a lady that loves art, creativeness, a good laugh, and a great sense of imagination. I love everybody, and has come to admire different works of art here on this website. I can't say that I'm not a huge fan of Eclipse, and I'm not interested in Core, but I still try to have a nice time on this website. I'd still prefer the old website layout, but with the option to decorate my home page. Similar to how you would for your computer. Anyways, Just like how many other individuals here have their galleries full of their beautiful work, I wish to do the same for my own gallery. Perhaps even surpass the number of favorites that I favorited from other works of art, or stories from other people that have shown amazing potential. I find that Roleplaying is fun too, but I can't say I'm open to too many things.

But just like how a good book is, it could be very enjoyable with a good plot, and a good amount of words. Script is..."eh". But paragraph form with dialogue is even better.

Happy Mother's Day!

1 min read

I wish that all your moms have a great day. Things may be different now because of the pandemic, but it should never take a way from being able to celebrate this special occasion. I applaud every mom who's expressed a lot of love towards their family, and has been a great role model in the lives of those who live in and out of their household. And although no one should have a big gathering due to the pandemic, I'm pretty sure things will be different in the years to come. =L Love, Sweet Gem
