Here's the edited version of the book! Though I'm not even close to being done with my break, I thought it was best to show what I've edited through Chapter 1 ^^' 



"Christ...I'm bored," I complained as I relaxed on my living room couch, my Mom's favorite show: The Watch playing on the TV. 

"Go read a book then Eos." My Mom said from the kitchen in her emotionless tone as always, a sigh escaping me as I then stood on the couch to look over the counter and into the kitchen, the smell of eggs, bacon, and pancakes making my mouth flood. 

"Reading is so borin' though Ma! Even you gotta admit that!" I grinned, my Mom setting down her spatula as she then turned to look at me with the same expressionless face. 

"Reading is good for you Eos, it's the natural way of learning new vocabulary." She said with a sigh as she placed her hand on her hip, her mouth in a straight line while her eyes showed signs of amusement. 

"Oh, come on! A new superhero movie just came out though and since it's Christmas break...we should go see it!" I grinned, my Mom going back to cooking as I heard a small laugh escape from her. 

"I really wish we could Eos." My Mom sighed.

 "It's been too long since we've all been out together as a family but...today isn't the day-" 

Suddenly, the sound of a door closing and familiar laughter that reminded me of Santa throughout the house.

"Morning family!" My Dad laughed heartily, his arms suddenly closing around me as he spun me around. 

"Don't spin her around! What if you knock over something!?" My Mom shouted, my Dad, whining a little as he set me down, ruffled my hair and walked into the kitchen where he kissed his wife on the cheek. 

"Now, what were y'all talking about?" I resumed my position on the couch. 

"Eos wants to go see a movie today." 

"A movie? What movie? From what I hear, it's gonna be stormin' like nothin' else later today." My Dad said before I had let out a sigh of annoyance. 

God...it's just a bit of rain, how in the world are we lettin' rain stop us from a nice outing? 

"Oh, come on now Eos, don't give me that, we can watch World War X together like we always do." My Dad grinned at me, another sigh escaping me. 

"We've seen that movie a thousand times, I can practically recite the entire movie myself!" I complained.

 "Can't we just see the new movie? The rain has never stopped us before..." I said as I got off the couch and went into the kitchen, looking up at my Dad with the same puppy eyes I've done a million times before he smiled lightly and looked towards my Mom.

"What's the weather and time, Diana?" He asked.

 "It's ten o' clock and it's sunny but I really don't think-" 

"Ah! You worry too much my sweet!" My Dad laughed as he once again gave my Mom a kiss on the cheek. 

"I'm the best driver out there! You remember how I dodged that deer on our honeymoon? I'll keep our kiddo safe and before ya even know it, we'll be back home to your delicious cookin'!" He laughed, his bright blue eyes looking into my Mom's soft ash-grey ones as she let out a small sigh before she smiled lightly. 

"Fine...but if it starts to look dangerous out there then please come straight home. I couldn't bear the thought of something happening to you or my baby." My Mom said, butterflies starting to erupt in my stomach as I watched my Mom pour eggs onto some plates with pancakes and bacon already on them.
