Storyteller

Val’s POV

Someone once told me that to succeed in life you must be extraordinary. No one can achieve what I did last Friday night. Here’s my extraordinary story now listen close because here it goes. I was walking along the path of fire and ice as you do on a Friday night looking for a fight dressed in an inferno gown fit for a princess. I was no princess though I stole this dress from a princess I like to think that someday I’ll repent but for now life goes on. I’m like a gypsy princess in this world though. I’m born of the fire people, the phoenixes and our opponents were the people of the ice, the frost demons. We were the people of the light while they were the people of the dark so we owned the day and they owned the night.

I couldn’t sleep tonight so I was out on the bridge making the water boil for the fun of it. “Watching won’t help the waiting”, a white haired girl said walking up on the water.

“What am I waiting for?” I asked looking over at her.

“Death would you like to see it?” she said walking over to me.

“How about you zip the lip and move on?” I said eyes narrowed.

“Try”, she said whipped me with her water whip. I grabbed it and let the heat flow through the whip and into her. She came over and we started fighting. I hit and kicked keeping my distance she won’t be freezing me. I saw her knife coming and I ducked. She came at me then I grabbed her necklace I had to finish this. Her knife came up and I broke the necklace. She looked into my eyes and then…

“Alright boys that’s enough for now”, I said and they all complained.

“Come on Valerie please more”, Nicky whined.

“You’re such a baby”, I said taking off my glasses.

“I am not I’m six”, he said proudly.

“Aren’t you Mr. Grownup”, his mother said picking her up, “thank you Val he loves story time at this place”.

“How does the story end where is the book?” Nicky demanded.

“It’s a made up story from my crazy mind”, I smiled.

“How does it end?” Andre asked hopefully.

“You guys will find out next week it’s another two part story”, I shrugged.

“You’re cruel”, my little brother, Teddy said eyes narrowed.

“You seemed awfully wrapped into the story Teddy bear”, I teased.

“Your sister is awesome”, Randy said and I high fived him.

“She has her moments”, Teddy said reluctantly.

“Love you two Ted”, I said kissing the top of his head.

“Don’t mess with the hair”, he said fixing his hair.

“You’re such a girl”, I said messing up his hair on purpose.

“I am manlier than you I’m the man of the house at home”, he said proudly.

“Doesn’t take very much”, I teased.

“Bye Valerie”, Max said waving at me.

“See you next week little man”, I said hugging him then the boys all left and the girls came skipping in.

“Valley girl”, Emmy said running over and hugging my leg.

“Hi girls”, I said as they all came in for a group hug.
