Lasta Coop And The Sandman

A year passed and Lasta had started to develop dark shadows under her eyes and she was thinner than most her age. One morning her mother tried to wake her to go to school but the girl did not wake. She tried again. She checked her pulse, she sighed.
Steady. That's good. Now the question is, why is she not waking up? She then was about to call the doctors until she looked back and to her confusion and horror a wound spontaneously opened up on the ten year old's cheek! Then another and another. She could do nothing but run down the stairs and scoop up the girl and attend to the wounds.
“Joseph! Call the hospital! Something's happening with Lasta!” she shouted and within the hour she was in the ambulance.
“Bizarre...if I didn't know any better I would say she is trapped in a state of unconsciousness.” said the doctor as he looked at the girl as another wound opened and then blood dripped from her back. “WHAT THE HELL!”

The night before Lasta climbed into bed as usual and as usual she felt her anxiety build in her chest as she closed her eyes. She let her mind relax into the world of dreams and as she shapes of her dream took form the first thing that she noticed was the colour. It was like real life and then something massive was about to hit her when she spotted sand drive it away and then in front of her was a man who looked as if he was controlling the sand which cut through the creature like small knives and the creature fell by her feet.
“What the-”
Lasta looked up to see a monochrome man in a silver suit.
“Lasta...No, you, you are the younger. Ah! Your timeline is difficult to follow...No! Wait! I now know why you are here. You told me about it...The evil sorcerer Morn...He's trapped you here using your tooth.” he said. “She...YOU! Told me to help you...”
“Who are you?” she asked.
“Well, I am Sandman and the fact that you are here means that this is the version I am meant to help most of all!” he introduced. “And by that I mean you take care of the Dream Demon, forged by the combination of the seven original from the days of old.”
Lasta nodded. “Right.”
“And when facing him try not to fear, it will create a door in your mind and do not doubt that you can defeat it.” he said.
The journey was long and by the time they reached the place Lasta had to take a break to rub her feet. She looked up at the tower which was made of black as if it was moulded into the shape that she saw before her eyes.
That looks better than the other one. She admitted as she felt a creeping dread slowly take it's seat in the pit of her stomach. She then felt something rise in her chest as she felt her heartbeat and breathing pattern increase.
I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. Please get me out of here! I don't want to be here! Please Morn let me go! It's not my fault let me go! I just want to go home! She thought as she felt something choking her from inside her as her vision started to blur. She blinked out a tear and, fearing of looking weak wiped it away before the Sandman could see it.
“Are you ready?” he asked.
“Does it matter?” she asked. “I'm never going to get home without going in there and facing whatever it is that Morn has to offer. Plus, the sooner this is over with the better, after all I do need to get up.”
She then stood to her feet and brushed herself off. She then turned and walked through the doorway. To a room of nothing but darkness with traces of silver sculls with sharp teeth and bones of monsters all around. She spotted that the room was littered with debris which cut into the soles of Lasta's feet.
“Close your eyes, it will help you see.” Sandman said. Lasta nodded as she felt something yank her up by the back of her neck and for a moment she felt herself in the air and then she felt herself falling and she was about to land on the debris but just at the last moment she was tossed into the air again and then she fell onto the debris back first! Pain entered her whole body like an electric shock, one that sent tears down her cheeks as she backed away, cutting her palms and soles.
“No! No...no...no..No...NO!” she shouted as she saw the Frankenstein's monster before her. Her eyes opened out of her horror of it all.
“Well, well, well! Looks like we have a weak one!” she heard a voice say.
“I know, she's just a poor, poor little child far from home!” she heard another. She felt herself hiccuping as her arms shook.
“She's quite pitiful, I wish that we could keep her here forever, that is until he comes.” she heard another.
“But you heard the boss... She has to die.” she heard another just as her arms gave way and she landed on her back again. She then saw the shadows of what seemed to be a claw. She closed her eyes for a moment to see what she was looking at. Seeing that it was a claw of what looked like a dragon she then dared to look up to see that the demon had more than one head, it had six! What was worse was how close it was to her head!
“NO! Don't-DON'T! You-please!” she cried as she tried to raise her arms but the demon pushed her arms away.
“Oh...Don't worry, it won't be too painful!” said the fifth head as he twisted his head.
“NO PLEASE!” she cried as sand-grains hit the demon off her.
“Leave her alone! You need not kill her, your master is gone!” Sandman shouted. The demon raised one of his eyebrows and nodded. He then leaned in and whispered in her ear.
“Maybe next time.” he laughed as he pulled away leaving the trembling girl.
“I am afraid that I could not get your tooth but I can say that you can wake up now, but when you do, you shall need to rest and recuperate” he said.
“'Recuperate'?” Lasta asked.
“Yes for the injuries that you have sustained from this will appear in the World Of Awakening. So you must rest up.” he explained. “And one last thing before you go, when Morn binds you to an enemy if ether of you are to survive, you must learn to work together, and if you retain any selfishness you will become your mother.”
“What do you mean?” she asked as she woke up. She looked around and spotted that she was lying on her stomach and as she looked up she saw her adopted mother. She felt a stinging pain in her back and as she rose her hand and looked at the palm she knew that it was not an ordinary dream.
WHAT! I'm bleeding? Does that mean that I could have died? In my very own dream? If so, then I really do need to get back that tooth and destroy any other teeth that I loose. C'mon Tooth Fairy what the Hell are you doing?

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...
