The Anti-Fairy Tales The Princess And The Demon Arc Part Two


The Broken Princess

     Alex Fiststone had finished against her latest challenger and she was cleaning the blood off her face when she was approached by a woman. She was wearing a suit the colour of the day time cloudless sky with a matching skirt. Her tie was loose and light gray like the shade of a white cloud. Her hair was the colour of daffodils and her eyes were the colour of old wood.
      "May I have a try at fighting the Street Queen?" She asked. Alex looked at her with her eyes the colour of wet grass.
      "Sure, only if you have a death sentence for your pride." She remarked as she walked her to the ring. Which was an abandoned factory that was no longer in use. She then turned back to see that the woman was now, somehow in a tracksuit the same colours of her suit! Alex frowned at the oddity but refrained a comment.
      Alex looked at her assessing the strengths and weaknesses of her frame and she knew that this woman was doing the exact same as they started to circle one another clockwise trying to test which one had the best starting position. They again anticlockwise this time they paid close attention to their feet to monitor their walk patterns.
      Then when Alex had done that she waited, patiently, for her opponent to strike and when she did, the woman somehow hit her from behind, giving her no opportunity to dodge or block! Alex then turned and let out a fist to where she knew that the woman's stomach was but the woman was not even there! She could sense that the woman was behind her and she elbowed back but somehow the woman was in front of her! And as difficult for her mind to comprehend somehow disappeared and Alex felt something hit her neck. She was down and incapable of moving.
     "How?" She managed to say. She couldn't have hit me that hard could she? No, but nether should she be able to do half of those things that she did. I mean how did she disappear like that? Alex thought as her eyes dropped to her gang. To her astonishment they were frozen like time had stopped!
      "What have you done to my mates!" She cried. "Just who exactly are you?"
      "Who I am is none of your concern at the moment. What is your concern is the fact that you are not Alex Fiststone, and this world is not real. You are under an enchanted sleep which you must wake up from and that you are in a dark tower. However I am sorry for to wake you up a man will come to break you. He will try to do this three times, first, he will try to break your body, if that does not work then he will attack your will and if that does not work, your heart." She explained as Alex's head began to spin.
      "There is a prince that will try to protect you, however he cannot be trusted." She said as she stood up and walked away unfreezing her friends in the process. Alex was pail and confused.
      Later she was challenged by a boy who seemed about the same age as her. His hair was like it had been carved out of wood and eyes like gray crystals with shadows under his wide eye that were so pail that even a blank page would look gray next to it. He had an odd cold sick handsomeness to him.
      "Alright, I'll fight you. So, what's you're name kid?" She asked.
      "Coalphyre." He replied in a cold sick voice.
      "Interesting name!" She commented. "Wanna put that on the board!"
      "Alright!" Her friend shouted as he started to engrave his name on the old red car along with other names.
      "It is spelt C O A L P H Y R E not C O L E F I R E." He corrected before they could even make the mistake.
      They then started circling one another. Alex spotted that this confused Coalphyre at first but she spotted that he quickly understood what she was doing and then dived in with a predictable punch. Alex raised an eye brow and suppressed a sigh as she took him by the wrist and fling him to the ground. He twisted and used his feet to propel him but as his feet touched the ground he lost balance and fell. Alex decided to help him up letting out the sigh. He pulled himself up with her help and as if drunk his head lolled and he fainted in her arms just as an arrow flew past her skimming her ear.
      She set Coalphyre down gently as she walked over to the arrow. On it was a piece of parchment rolled up into a scroll. Sighing, she pulled the arrow out of the car door. As she looked around she subconsciously unrolled the scroll. She looked back at it when she felt that it was safe to.

To The Demon Princess

     If you are reading this
it means that my attempt
to break your body has
failed, but no matter, no
matter. I still have two
more shots at it.

      For surviving,
I would be pleased
for you to allow me
to reward you

        Your Knight

P.S. Join me tomorrow
after noon, and dare not
be late!

      Coalphyre asked if she was alright as he stirred. She looked up and smiled and nodded as she helped him up. With the one that engraved his name on the car door they walked to the hospital together. Alex made her exuse as she left to go home to ponder over the days events.
      The next day she walked to the place where, whoever wanted to break her, had designated and purposely arrived late. Just to spite them, however the joke was on her for what she saw was the friend that had engraved Coalphyre's name on the car door was tied to a pole. He was pail and unmoving. He was just hanging there like a doll. Then horror stuck as Alex's eyes dropped only to see a dagger in his chest pinning a note in his corpse.
 
      To The Demon Princess

     How do you like your reward? Aren't I considerate?

         Your Knight

     P.S. I dearly hope that you are broken now!


      Alex screamed at the top of her lungs and shouted for help. She tried to call the police but unusually enough there was no signal. She screamed again as people started to appear. She looked around afraid that they would think that she was the one that did it but none looked at her. None seemed to know that she was there. She ran up to one of them to go and get help but as she approached and hit one of them her fist passed right through her as if she was punching thin air. She could not even feel the woman! Then as if to add oil to the furnace if turmoil the woman walked right through her! Then another and another! It was as if she was not even there!
     "Looks like you're beginning to break." Alex heard Coalphyre say as he came into the light. He had a disappointed look on his face mixed in with screaming dread. "But it is not enough. Shame it seems like I am going to have to break your heart."
     Alex went to punch him as she connected the dots in her mind but her fist would not obay her. She tried to look down to see why but her eyes followed Coalphyre and they could not be deterred. As he approached she tried to move her body, vowing to give him a punch the minute he let her go.
      "Just to let you know that I am very sorry for what I am about to do Princess Pheoshan Wolfhiemstine." He said as he leaned in and kissed her. An electric anger struck her mind. Now he was definitely going to get a punch or twenty. He pulled away and smiled at her.
      "My sister, Phiredoorn did tell you not to trust the prince now did she not?" He said as he pulled out a knife. "Now I am going to have to get my hands dirty as I pierce your heart. Do not worry I and Doorn will come for you. Fear not for you will not be in pain for very long. Once you have died to this world you will wake up after I have kissed you in the real world." He explained as he rammed the dagger as painlessly as possible into her heart and broke it. "Hold on until then will you, okay?"
      She closed her eyes as her dream life as Alex Fitsstone came to an end.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
