Summoner's League [A League of Legends FanNovel] (On-Going)

Encounter #1: The Instincts

It all started on a seemingly normal morning. While my mom was preparing breakfast, I was still in my room dozing off

"Mark! Wake up or you'll be late for school." Called by my mom.

Oh, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Mark Tracey, currently a ninth-grader. I lived with my mother and twelve year old little sister for as long as I can remember, and if you are wondering where my dad is, that's what I would want to know. Every time I ask my mom, she seems to want to avoid the topic, or in other cases, she would not speak at all, as if she was spacing out, and since I have a little sister, it would mean that my father was home at least once after I was born.

"Mark!' She called once more.

"Coming" I replied as I let out a yawn

As I left my bed, I looked at the window to expose myself to daylight, but what was exposed to me instead was a figure, which seemed to be a silhouette of a girl, though maybe it's just my imagination.

"Mark! How many times do I have to call you?" She burst as she knocked on my door.

"Sorry Mom." I quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door. I took a peek at the same window, but the figure was gone. Creepy

I headed to the dining room, and I was greeted by the scent of Maple Syrup and Bacon. As I looked at the table, my mouth nearly became a waterfall. There was a whole breakfast buffet set-up, half a dozen stacks of Pancakes topped with butter and Maple Syrup, a plate full of buttered toast, and bacon and eggs for each plate.

"Whoa! Mom? What's with the buffet?" I asked while wiping the drool off my face.

"Well, we are going to expect someone today." She answered as she brought another stack of pancakes. "She will be living with us for the entire year."

"She? What for?"

"I don't know, deary" She stated as she returned to the kitchen. "The letter did not give any reason." Her voice soften, like the words were forced out of her.

I wanted to ask her about it, but before I could open my mouth, my mother froze in place and stayed quiet. I bet this had something to do with father. That's why she was pretty reluctant.

The atmosphere was pretty silent, other than the sound of the sizzling bacon. I wanted to break the silence by switching topics, but I couldn't think of any. My curiousity was pretty much taken. I wanted to ask her so bad, though I already expected that my questions would be left unanswered.

"Ohayou!" My little sister greeted as she was approaching my mom to give her a peck on the cheek.

[A/N: Ohayou = "Good Morning"]

"Ah!" Her back instantly straightens after receiving the kiss. "Oh, good morning, dear." She replied with her usual tone, letting out a sigh of relief after.

"Ohayou, Nii~!" She greeted me while hugging me from behind.

[A/N: Nii or Onii = "Brother"]

"Good Morning Mirna." I replied half-heartedly.

"Hm?" She sat infront of me, looking at me with eyes of concern. "What's the matter, nii? Why are you sad?" She asked.

I didn't realize that I was letting out a sad expression. "I-It's nothing. It's just my morning face." I replied while managing to fake a smile.

Mirna and I go way back, being siblings and all. When she was born, I did all I can to take good care of her. And I always help her when she started studying. She then returns the favor by always cheering me up so that both of us could be happy, only if she could find a reason to be happy of the situation. If she can't, then she'll start to feel bad and be disappointed at herself.
