Betrayed

Chapter 4

It began for me on that single for where my world has tumble and crushed. My parents died due a coup raid and my friends died during the recent war between Warius and Thieves clan. This world. This life. What despair and gloominess. I haven't been at school due to funerals and such. I have finally came back. Well I saw my best friend Quyntin (Quentin but spell differently).

"Hello sleeping beauty," he said.

"Yea I am sleepy though. Too much sadness and despair." I said sadly.

"I know," he said as hugged me.

I needed a hug and we started walking down the hallway; when I saw a flyer for an all-expense pay cruise.

"Hey why don't you sign up for this!" Quyntin said.

I shrugged and I sign the requirements:
Name- Riley
Age-15
Race-Gambler

Yes I'm a Gambler and I don't gamble cause I'm under age. Our powers are based on our luck. As you can see my luck has changed due to karma and everything. Why karma? I did a bad thing and I have regret ever since. My temper got the best of me, yes I'm quick-tempered, I killed a innocent man cause I thought he was the leader of the coup raid that killed my dad. Ever since that fateful encounter I haven't had good luck since. After school, me and Quyntin we back to the house, cause he lives alone and has no else just like me so I just live with him, plus my family died when I was very young.

"What do you want for supper?" I asked.

"I don't know, maybe fish or meat?" He said.

"How about Fish and Beef Stew!" I replied happily.

He grins and nods. It was quite at the table for a minute, when Quyntin spoke up.

"So when do you hear the results for the trip?"

"Monday, next week. How come you didn't sign up?" I asked.

"I'm not an adventure. I'm more a stay-home kind of guy." He replied as he lied back in the chair.

"You need to get out more lazy cade," I said and knocked him out of his chair.

After I gather the dishes, I went to bed and ended my day.
