Let's Write! Daily Prompt

Almost Lost My Spoons
Let's Write! Daily Prompt

I'm working on character development for a story called"Friends & Enemies" that centers around a girl from the Drama Freaks and a boy from the Jocks and their unlikely love.

The prompt that I found:

"Naked"

This prompt reminded me of a pivotal scene around the beginning of the book where Cat, the main character, is nearly raped by Austin's best friend in order to make her look like a bad person... We'll see.

I'll report my findings at the end of the week.

Thanks and have a pleasant day!

Let's Write! Daily Findings


Findings for this week's prompt!
“Oi! Kira!”
Kira heard her named called through the door of the bathroom and sighed. “What?!” she called back.
“Matt is asking for you! He wants to see you right away!”
“Matt does realize that I just finished showering, doesn’t he?”
The girl on the other side of the door groaned. “Yes. That’s why he wants to see you now!”
“Really, Sasha…” Kira asked, sighing. “Very well; I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
“Kira, I’d like to see you in my room… now.” A cool voice issued from the other side of the door and Kira froze. It was Matt.
“V-Very well, sir.” Kira grabbed the towel from the hanger beside the shower curtain and quickly dried herself off, then wrapped the towel around her body and unlocked the door. She opened it to see Matt standing before her.
Without so much as a word, Matt grabbed Kira’s wrist and dragged her out of the bathroom, along the hallway and into his room where he threw her inside and locked them in together.
“What am I?” Matt asked after a long silence during which Kira slid against the floor so her back was to the wall.
“You are Alpha.”
“And what are you?”
“I am an Assassin.”
"What else is an Assassin called?"
"A Spy."
“And why are you a Spy?”
“Because I infiltrate other organizations to get information.”
Matt sighed. “If you know all this, then why go to the Avengers?”
“Because --” Kira began, but Matt cut her off.
“Telling them some of the Pack secrets and some of your abilities!”
“To get them to trust me.” Kira had lowered her voice to a mere whisper while Matt’s had risen, and her eyes were dangerous. Matt could have seen why she was the former Alpha’s mate. “You’ve obviously never been a Spy.” She sighed.
“How did you tell them?” Matt asked.
Kira did her characteristic head tilt, like a dog, with one eyebrow raised, confused.
“Stand!” It was a command, and Kira obeyed.

She stood with care as to make sure that the towel didn’t show anything. However, once she was standing, Matt ripped the damp cloth off her body, revealing her scars and past injuries. Nothing new had marked her body. Matt sighed with something Kira hoped was relief.


Thanks and have a pleasant day!

Oh Gosh! Look at the Time!

Almost Lost My Spoons!
Oops!

Goodness, I didn't realize it was Wednesday already!
Wow, time flies when you're having fun!

I went to my first Metal concert on Monday! ( which is probably why I wasn't able to get the prompt out ). It was a concert for Kamelot -- which is a band I highly recommend for someone who likes metal -- and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun! Oh my gosh!
I got to shake hands with Tommy Karevik who is the lead singer for the band!
I've been squee-ing all day since and I couldn't sit still on Monday; I was just so excited. I've been a fan of Kamelot for fifteen ( that's right 15 ) years and was looking forward to this concert since December!

Here's a link to Kamelot's newest song!: Here!

Yay!

So, anyways, I'll start again on the 25th. I'll continue to update every so often, but the regular schedule will resume on Monday, the 25th of May.

Thanks and have a pleasant day!

Findings for this week's prompt!

Kristoph meandered around the Menileus grounds, determined to find something to do. As he walked, his thoughts began to wander. How long had he been like this? Well, that was a dumb question. His mother hated him in favor of his little sister Helena. As Kristoph had been the bastard child of his father and Mr. Greensworth’s mistress Lindsay, his mother had little use and care for him.
“Feeling down again, Mr Greensworth?”
Kristoph looked up and saw the gardener, Mr Archaon, staring at him from across the garden hedges.
“I told you not to call me that!” Kristoph sighed after his outburst. “I’m sorry; I just dislike that name.”
“Very well, Mr Kristoph. What shall I call you instead?”
Kristoph looked away from Mr Archaon’s intense stare. “I’ve been thinking about Arc.”
“Why ‘Arc?’ Why not something similar to your birth name?”
“Because I hate this place. I hate my father, my mother. The only people I get along with are the servants as that’s all I am to my parents.” Kristoph glanced sheepishly at Mr Archaon. “Plus, I’ve always liked your name.”
“Very well. I shall refer to you as Mr Arc.” Mr Archaon bowed elegantly and smiled at the young master. “Any last name?”
Arc thought a moment. When nothing jumped to mind, he thought a little harder. “Miles…” he said with hesitation after a moment.
“A soldier?” Mr Archaon asked. “Or distance?”
When Arc looked at the gardener with confusion, he elaborated.
“The meaning of miles; it traces back to an ancient language meaning ‘soldier’ but is also a unit of measuring distance.”
“You certainly are very knowledgeable, Mr Archaon,” Arc said, smiling.
“It comes with reading all kinds of books,” the gardener answered with a grin. “But, as far as names go, you should have a name that means something to you.”
“Probably distance…”
“Why’s that?”
Arc took a moment to respond. “I’ve been taught that I have no place here, so I shall wander miles to get away.”
Mr Archaon smiled. “Good choice.” He knelt down before Arc and whispered: “Want to help me plant some flowers?”
“Are they for my mother?” Arc asked in return.
Mr Archaon glanced away. “Yes,” he answered hesitantly. “You’re father requested them.”

Thanks and have a pleasant day!

Character Creation - Apologies

Almost Lost My Spoons!
Character Creation: The Basics

I know I was supposed to upload a third part to character creation, but I drove home yesterday -- through snow, rain, sleet and hail I might add -- and got home so exhausted I couldn't conjure up the brain power to write part three of the basics of character creation.

So I apologize. However, I am feeling better, but I'd like to keep my schedule the same, so I'll post part three next Saturday.

Thank you for your understanding ( Colorado weather is not nice sometimes ).

Thanks and have a pleasant day!
