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.

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...

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 toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
