*This story is underneath my folder titled “Adventures of Poppy and others”. Gacha Club character designs are under my forum titled “My character designs<33[2]”. Enjoy!*
The year was 2000. Fifteen year old Poppy McLain loved to read vampire romance stories and sometimes, she wondered what it would be like if it were to happen to her in real life, if she’d ever experience the love of a vampire.
She knew that it wasn’t possible, though, just like how her parents would never, ever let her join any kind of chorus group in her school. It wasn’t that she was a “bad singer” or anything, it was just that…it wouldn’t be right for her to join a chorus. That was what they had said to her older sister, Jessica and her younger brother, Ash.
Poppy did sign up for chorus back in fifth grade, but her parents had taken her out of the club and wouldn’t let her have dessert after dinner. That wouldn’t have been so bad if they hadn’t spent all night lecturing her to the point that it sounded like yelling.
It was a strange rule that was in the McLain house, a strange rule that Poppy did not understand and so, she would read her vampire romance stories and sing to herself, wondering if things would truly get better as she got older, that she would somehow understand everything better as an adult.
At least the words laced in the pages and her own voice soothed her like a lullaby.

Alright, last story from this folder!
And this is the Poppy who has disappeared in the snippet, huh?
Ohh is she maybe a siren, and that's why her parents are afraid of letting her sing? But why not tell her so she can be careful about it?
I think this would have worked better if there were also other strange rules that the kids would have to follow and that they just casually have to work with. Maybe if a friend of theirs comes to visit and they also have to follow the rules? That would showcase this in an interesting way!
Ooh thx for the suggestions! Oh and Olivia (the Mom), Poppy, Jessica, and Ash (he%u2019s the younger brother but I haven%u2019t given him an origin yet) are all sirens. I guess the parents didn%u2019t want to tell them because they wanted to keep the siren stuff a secret. But that%u2019s not gonna work.
Thx for reading!
Nice story written by the writer.
The story had a nice start, a normal household, a normal fifteen year old girl and her normal attraction towards vampire romance stories. But the point where it all started to mix up and bring out the real topic of the story.
"She knew that it wasn’t possible, though, just like how her parents would never, ever let her join any kind of chorus group in her school."
This line has got the readers so interested in the story, like why won't her parents just let her join the school singing group. If she sings good and all then just why?
I really want to know what happens next and will she join the singing group or not. Also the readers get to see that her parents are not only strict with Poppy but also with her elder sister and her younger brother. And this all was a McLain house rule?
Okay so the story has already started to show its twists and turn of events, and the ending is just the right cliff-hanger that the audience needs. I just have one suggestion, only if the story could be a bit longer, like not too long just one more paragraph long maybe.
Keep it up.
Waiting for more.
Thank you.
I actually have more stories that explains this under my folder %u201CAdventures of Poppy and others%u201D.
Thanks for reading!
