LullLin

"Jisuk!" I heard my mother call from down stairs. Just one more hit....and...BAM! Just destroyed your character and your new kingdom.

"I bet you didn't see that one coming JamsJ!" I yelled through my microphone.

"No. The crazy LullLin got me this time. That's only because you don't have Kookie or HorseHope up your butt." JamsJ said through his microphone. I heard my mother's footsteps coming up the stairs and got prepared to hear it all.

"Jisuk! Now you promise me you wouldn't play that stupid game until after dinner. And dinner is now just ready." My mom said in a annoying tone. She doesn't like me playing games but our deal was if I keep my grades up and play after dinner she wouldn't mind. Most of the time I behave and listen, but then like today...not so much.

"I'll be down in a second mom. I'm sorry it's just that JamsJ will be gone for the weekend and it's the only time we can play." I said smiling at her trying so hard not to get yelled out anymore.

"Two minutes. I'm giving you two minutes, if I don't see your face in the kitchen in two minutes I'm taking it away." She said closing my door. Damn. My mother can actually be scary at times.

"I've got to go. Tell me all about your trip to London next week okay." I said.

"Will do captain. Till later LullLin." JamsJ said clicking off. I turned off my computer running downstairs. My older sister was already sitting at the kitchen table reading a book. I sat beside her peeping at her book, she soon caught me staring and immediately slammed it shut.

"Stop getting into my business." She hissed like a snake. Growing up me and my sister where close but as we got older she just started ignoring me for her friends. Yeah we do have a nine year age gap but we use to be so close. I tease her a lot but truthfully I really miss her, I mean we use to be my best friends. Now we can barely be in a room together without her claws coming out. And when I mean her, I mean usually her.

I looked back at my mother who was putting dinner on the table. Once the table was filled with amazing aroma and beautiful looking food she sat down across from us grabbing a plate. She loaded her plate down with food before setting it down in front her. Both me and my sister watched as she took a big bite of her food.

"What about dad?" I asked as I watched her stuff her face. We always wait for dad to sit at the table. He's always busy but he always makes sure we eat dinner together as a family. During dinner he'll ask how we are and talk with my mom. I miss spending time with him but I understand last year he got this big promotion and since then those dinners rarely happen anymore.

"Dad's boss is having a hard time with his cancer so your dad is taking his extra shifts for awhile. We probably won't see him for a little while." She never looked up at us but I could still tell she was hurting. I know my dad's boss is very sick but can't they get someone else to fill in his shoes. I mean my dad is already there from 5am to 5pm. And even after that he's still working at home. I feel like I've lost him as well. The only soul I have around here is my mom. But looking at her now I think I've lost her as well.

After dinner I helped my mom with dishes and went to my room. I closed my door turning off all lights, then I closed my curtains and walked to my desk. I opened the bag of gummy worms I hid and started eating them as I turned on my computer.

Killer Hearts is the new and biggest online game at the moment. The game works by you first finding a team. You can only get on the team if they find you strong enough. For my team I had to beat the caption which was Rmonster. I have to say he was extremely difficult to beat, but then again I'm LullLin. I'm the strongest female character there is. In real life I'm not to much. You can say boo, and I'm running for the hills. But I think that's what gets me coming back to this game. I'm not me. I'm LullLin. A strong female character who isn't the typical damsel in distress. I'm everything I'm not in reality.
