Hi! I'm Cressida123 and I've been here for a year and I am going to force BW to give me a certificate!!!!!!!

As you know, I'm Cressida123. The book I'm working on at the moment is called Rise for KOTLC, and I plan to make it a full series. The next one is called Fallen. I have a personal editer who puts up with my crappy grammar and spelling(Thanks for that Foster-Keefe shipper-which is what I'll call them for now). BuddingWriter101 edited three chapters for me as well, so shout out to her! You're amazing! Anyway, be sure to read and review Rise. I'd really appreciate it!

Looking back on previous chapters of Rise I feel like barfing. GRoss!!!! My wriiitttinnng sucks!

P.s Rise is rated 13 due to violence, cursing, and mentions of abuse and suicide. If you are not comfortable with that, I suggest you don't read.

Just in case you were wondering, this is what I ship in KOTLC:

Sophie and Keefe: This is actually not a very popular ship on fanfiction.net, but I love it! I can't stand Sophitz or Fitz- or most elves for that matter. Please be patient with my weird venting about elves. I don't know why book characters tick me off so much. Lol. FOSTER-KEEFE FOREVER!

Fitz and Lihn or Lihn and Wylie?: Okay, so due to some recent changes of events- and because I realized I don't actually really ship it- I'm kinda still deciding between these two. I'm still mad at Wylie for how he treated Sophie at first, and will probally keep Fitz and Lihn as a couple in Rise and in future stories, but consider me neautral.

Biana and Dex: He was never getting together with Sophie so why not? The nerd and popular. Sounds cute to me.

Tam and Mariella: What? I just would find the fact kinda funny that Tam likes brunettes, but somehow ends up with Mariella, who's a blonde. Idk. Lol. More crack than anything else.

Credit to BuddingWriter101 for this. Sorry for taking it.

I am currently writing my very own book so I don't think I'll be back on here for a while. Not that anyone cares.

(Taken from BuddingWriter cause I was bored)

1) who is your favorite main KOTLC charcter?

Easy, Sophie. She's doesn't make me want to punch her in the face.

2) who is your favorite KOTLC male character?

Didn't I say I couldn't stand Fitz? It's obviously Keefe. Dex isn't bad though.

3) if you could have any elvin ability, what would it be?

No comment.

4) who do you ship?

Foster-Keefe, Diana, and Tamerella. I'm okay with FedEx and Tiana. Basically intolerant to Sophitz.

5) if you had to kill off any KOTLC character, who would you kill?

UGHHHH!!! I can't decide between Lady Gisela or Fintan. I hate both of them equally (puts on "I hope you die in a fire").

6) who is you favorite supporting character (like a dead character or one hardly mentioned?)

Sigh. BuddingWriter already said this, but I'd have to say Ro. It's cliche, I know, but anyone who ships Foster-Keefe is a friend of mine. Plus, she's like a female Keefe! I just love Keefe's personalty. He reminds me of Chase-whom I also love. Seriously, he's like in my top five fav book characters.

7) who is your least favorite non-Neverseen character?

I really don't like Lord Cassius! It irkes me that he verbally abuses his son, but doesn't even realize it. BAKA!

8) who is your least favorite Neverseen character?

Fitan. Duh.

9) black Swan or neverseen?

Why is this even a question!!!??? BLACK SWAN DUH!

10) would you rather bring back jolie or mr. forkle?

Mr.Forkle? Edaline and Grady already have Sophie to fill the void- though they will forever miss Jolie. I'm sorry Jolie.

11) which KOTLC character is most like you?

Sophie. We both wanna destroy poofy dresses. They've had too good for too long.

12) who is your favorite non-elvin character?

Silveny! I wanna ride Glitterbutt so bad!

3) which KOTLC book is your favorite?

Nightfall. The Foster-Keefe was just amazing*mutters to self about Sophitz*

14) list your favorite KOTLC books in order of most favorite to least favorite.

Nightfall

Exile

Keeper of the Lost Cities

Everblaze

15) while reading the KOTLC books, what kind of emotions did you feel?

Legacy: FITZ YOU AWEFUL, IDIOTIC PIECE OF!!!! AND ALDEN AND FORKLE! DISHONOR ON YOU! DISHONOR ON YOUR COW! MOST PEOPLE ARE SUCH A PIECE OF POOP IN THIS BOOK THEY DESERVE ALL CAPS! BUT THE SOKEEFE WAS ADORABLE AND THE PLOT WAS AMAZING! Poor Keefe. Stina redemption arc, yo! Never thought we'd see the day

I saw this and couldn't help but repost. I may have cried a little.

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back.

The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''

Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her afterall, and not to worry.

But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped.

The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't

forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''

"OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for

the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"

Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that

mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!''

"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''

"My mommy loves white roses."

A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.

The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister

is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
