My Life as Abby by Ashley Jordan (best books to read in your 20s TXT) 📖

never came home. She apparently got the same news I did when she disappeared. I thought she ran away because of me.” I told him the truth, I never told anyone except Dan. “Is that why you where that bracelet?” He gestured to my heart shaped bracelet. It read Abby on one side and sisters forever on the other. “Yes, Alyssa has one just like it.” I said in response. Jack put an arm around me and said “Its ok we will find her.” I felt tears on my face realizing I had been crying.

Jamie walked over. “So what do you all need? I will gladly help Alyssa’s sister.” I stood up. “Can we get supplies to go search for her.” He smiled. “I can do even better.” He gestured a girl over. She had dark hair top her mid arm. She wore a dress with confetti looking design. “This is Birthday Princess.” She looked at us and smiled. “Hi call me Bailey. What is your names?” “My name is Abby, and this is Jack.” She shook our hands and gestured for us to follow her. She showed us rooms full of clothes like the huntsmen are wearing. “Put these on and grab a weapon.” She left the room before we could respond. I put on some tan pants with a white shirt and a brown jacket. Jack put on brown pants, a brown shirt, and grabbed a sword. I looked at my hands and was trying to decide if I should use my powers or a weapon. I chose weapon and left with a sword too.

We left the tent to find Bailey. She was waiting by a path. “So where do we look first?” She smiled laughing. “We aren’t looking I know where she is, we just need some help to get there. Plus, some old friends.” She smiled brightly. We left into the forest; it has been about an hour. “Where are we going?” I asked Bailey. Bailey looked around as if inspecting the area. “Don’t move.” She whispered. “Why?” I whispered back. “Something is out there.” She whispered worried. These creatures came from all directions; they looked like monsters you see at Halloween wearing masks. They came at us trying to punch us; they pulled out swords and swung at us. We are fighting, but there is so many. Then a girl with blonde hair, a dress that looks Halloween like, comes out. She kicked butt. She had this staff and it was everywhere. It hit one then another. She was fast. She tossed pumpkins at them and then boom. They exploded. She was amazing.

She had kicked some butt. They were all on the ground groaning. One tried to get up and she stopped in front of him. “If you know what’s good for you? Stay down!” It dropped down so fast. It was so funny. “Hi, I’m the Spirit of Halloween, call me Autumn.” I smiled at Autumn. “I’m Abby.” Autumn looked at Bailey. Bailey nodded. Autumn then bowed and stood up. I had no idea what is going on. “Why are you bowing?” “Your sister will tell you.” Bailey said. “Who are you?” Autumn asked Jack. “Oh, I’m Jack.” Autumn nodded. “Let’s go.” Autumn said; “There could be more.” I looked at the creatures. “What were those?” Autumn looked at me. “Those are the masked creatures.” She answered. Then grumbled. “Evil, retched creatures.” She looked mad at them. Then again Autumn seems deadly, don’t mess with her.

We stopped and set up camp for the night. It was almost night fall. We stopped at a clearing. When camp was set up there were four tents, a fire, a table, and a huge area where they had us learning to use our swords. When dinner was served it was mush. I have no idea what it really was, but I call it mush. Jack dove right in, Bailey ate it like a normal person, Autumn was trying to sneakily eat candy, and I was trying not to turn mush to barf.

The next morning we set off to somewhere. They haven’t told me where we are going yet. What was funny I had a dream we are heading to an old roman times coliseum. Then it came true. We were standing in front of a roman coliseum. We entered and it was exactly how I had dreamed it was. Bailey and Autumn lead us to a girl in a pink and red outfit. She had the red trimming on her dress and pink mainly. She was carrying a bow and arrows. “Christine! We need some help.” Christine, I guess turned around. “Autumn and Bailey welcome to my home. I think my dad’s back there.” Autumn glared at her. “You know we mean you, not Cupid.” Autumn said angrily. My jaw dropped. Cupid had a daughter, no way. “Fine.” Christine grabbed her stuff and came with us.

Christine looked at Jack and I. “Who is this?” Jack stepped forward and said “I’m Jack and this is Abby.” He told her. She looked to Autumn and Bailey and they nodded. She then bowed I couldn’t figure out why. We then walked for a few hours. “Jack.” I whispered. “Yes, Abby.” He whispered. “I dreamed we were headed to that coliseum.” Jack looked at me. “How?” he asked me. I looked at him. “I have no idea.” Jack scratched his head. “Let’s ask them.” I nodded. “Excuse me, Bailey, Autumn, and Christine; Abby had dreamed we were headed to that exact coliseum. What does that mean?” “First, call me Chris. Second, it’s the Dream Catching Sorcerer. She is very powerful.” They turned and we all walked for a while.

Then I heard a firework go off. I knew it wasn’t me. “We’re here.” I heard Bailey say. I looked around. I saw more fireworks and then Alyssa. “Run, their coming!” She yelled. Bailey, Autumn, and Chris all stood blocking me from her. She hadn’t seen me yet. She was telling them who was after her. “King Richard sent his two sons after me, with some friends. Prince Dan is coming from behind you, and Prince Daric is behind me. We need to get ready to fight.” She said very quickly. The two princes came out from each direction at the same time. They had swords and ten men each. So it was Twenty two guys against six of us. This was going to be interesting. The princes were shooting fire out of their hands. I looked at one prince in particular it was Dan from New York. From the party, the guy that saved my life. If he was evil why he did save me, he could have let me die. Probably think about that later.

Dan then had made eye contact with me. He pulled out his phone and called someone. My phone rang. He is an idiot. I am like six feet from him. I picked up. “You’re an idiot. I’m six feet from you.” I told him. His voice was like the one who was telling me I was ready to go, to come here. He was the Mystery caller I wanted to kill so badly. “What Abby, don’t like playing?” He hung up and was attacking. Bailey was shooting confetti; it would push the men back. She was swinging her sword around taking them down. Autumn was throwing bombs and hitting them in the head with her staff. Chris was shooting arrows here and there, taking them out. Alyssa was shooting them with fireworks, she shot one to the sky it formed a dragon. Then the dragon started shooting, it was still a firework just shooting more fireworks. It was awesome. I wonder if I could do that, but any way. Jack was swinging his sword here and there. I was being pushed behind everyone, being protected. Alyssa hasn’t seen me yet. I want to say, but she’s busy.

There is men starting to attack and one was sneaking up on Alyssa. He was one of the princes; he lit his hands on fire. He was about to put one on her until, well, I shot a firework at him. He went flying toward the sky. Everyone was staring at him, luckily not me. I was scared to talk to Alyssa. I didn’t know what was going on anymore. I was so confused. Alyssa was looking for who saved her life. She looked at me. She was staring into my eyes. The prince was coming back down when I shot him toward a tree. She looked at the prince, then me, then the prince again. “Hi Alyssa.” Was all I could say. “Abby?!” She sounded surprised and happy. I looked at her and nodded. The others had already taken out the men attacking. Alyssa walked to me. “Is that you?” She asked me sounding so thrilled. I smiled and ran to her with a hug. “Yes, it’s me.” I said hugging her. She immediately hugged me back. “Abby!” She said so happily. “Alyssa what had happened to you?” I asked her stopping our hug. “Probably same as you, sucked through the locker.” She laughed. I laughed realizing how silly it sounded. “Let’s go, there is a lot we have to tell you.”

Alyssa took us to some little house in the woods. It was pretty small. She knocked. “Who is it?” Alyssa responded. “It’s me Alyssa. Open the door Daisy.” Daisy opened the door. “Ah, Alyssa, Abby, Autumn, Chris, and Bailey, welcome to my cottage. Jack!” She greeted us girls friendly. Jack she sounded mad. “Jack, I told you, you can’t use my dream catching magic to find your charge!” She was yelling at him. “Ok, Daisy, I found my charge. That’s not why we are here.” Daisy started glaring at him. “You still have to wait outside, I don’t like you anyway.” I busted up laughing. He is probably mad at me for laughing, Yet, I did. “Come in ladies.” She smiled at us all. “So what is the trouble this time?” She asks us. “It’s the prophesy, its coming true.”

The others all say at the same time. “That was creepy.” I said out loud. “Abby;” Daisy was talking to me now, “There is a prophesy that an Evil King and his two sons, will take over the kingdom. They will make everyone miserable. Ruin all things good. Kill anyone who tries to stop them. Then Father Time and Mother Nature will have two daughters, the Queen of Independence, who is also known as spirit of Fourth of July, and New Year Baby. They will form a team and end the Evil Kings Rule.” She looked at me making sure I under stood. I nodded quickly. “Then they will take back control of their kingdom.” She says smiling to us. “The two daughters are Alyssa and I, aren’t they?” I asked knowing the answer. “Then let’s take back our kingdom!” I turned to Alyssa. She was Smiling like never before, “Let’s do it!” She says in response. “We need a little luck though.” I looked at her confused. “Dream catching sorcerer will you join our team?” Daisy looked at us. “Why do you think I showed her the coliseum? Of course I will join your team! Let’s go.”

All of us left for another place. Jack had joined us, but I don’t understand who his charge is. Let alone what he is.
