Lasta Coop Final Pre-teen Story

 Lasta Coop
And Santa

Lasta's eyes stung as their sight rested on the see of snow as the flakes spun around her like bladed confetti. Her breath rose in front of her as she could feel the ice settling into her bone marrow. A cold sweat sat on her flesh doing little to help her now uncontrollable shivering. As the storm hit deafening pitches, she lost feeling at the tip of them.
Oh! I'm gonna die! I don't know where I am and I'm gonna die here! She was about to collapse into deep despair until she could feel something hit her head and red dropped to her shoulders. She looked up and spotted black cotton. Her cloak was heavy and warm. She could tell how thick it must be as she pulled it to her.
She then felt two hands gripped her and shoved her on a wooden bench that as she looked up she realised that belonged to a sledge with a golden brace for safety. She looked aside only to see the jolly big guy himself sat beside her! What's going on now?
“Here, have some hot coca!” he said as he forced the mug in her hands. She sniffed the steam up and looked back.
“Thank you!” she muttered as she quietly sipped. Soon she felt the benefits of the heat. “What am I even doing here? I mean I focused on home.”
“To help me probably!” he said apologetically his voice carrying a warmth and kindness.
“Will this help me get home? Or will the curse-No, I'm not cursed.” she asked.
“I can only promise to try my best to get you home once the job is done.” he replied. Lasta nodded.
“So, what's the job?” she asked, taking another sip.
“To rescue my grandson, Jack from the Buggy Man.” he replied. “Do you remember him?”
Lasta nodded and closed her eyes with dread.
“Yeah, I remember him. It was one of the closest time mum came to believe me.” she said. “So, are we going to the place or are we going to stay somewhere first?”
“Yes why?”
“I just wanna get home quicker.” Lasta said. “So why'd he kidnapp your grandson anyway?”
“Because it is Christmas tonight and he wants me to stop me delivering the presents to children. So if I do not rescue him, then I know if I deliver those presents he will surely die.” he explained. “This way he can keep children and adults alike locked in fear and depression, so that they will be more likely to end up in Hell.”
“And you believe in that?”
“Believe it and know it!” he shouted proudly as they came to a dark cave. Santa parked the sleigh and they were off. Lasta looked into the black hole that was the cave and ready or not she took a her step into the darkness following Santa closely. He then looked back at her.
“Now I will go and look for the Buggy Man, while you go and look for Jack.” he said with authority. Lasta nodded and turned to the side.
“And how will I know him? When I find him?” she asked.
“He has white hair like snow and skin that always makes it difficult to determine if he is ill and white-blue eyes.” he replied. “And he has no body temperature and I would go down if I was you. After all he loves putting kids into the dungeon, a lot like my evil twin brother.”
“You have a twin?” she asked.
“Krampus.” he said with a look of dread as the split. She ran to the closest stair-case and, seemingly, flew down the stairs that seemed to spiral on forever until she finally found the bottom where there was, a corner where she spotted another stair-case that was carved out of the ground. She walked to the bannister and closed her ordinary eye and with her silver she could see a rows and rows of cells and in the closest one she saw him.
Quickly she ran over to him and looked at the keyhole and took out one of her hair pins and slid it into the keyhole. It dropped the next moment and the bars opened.
“Where are we going?” asked a familiar voice. She jumped as she spotted immediately the Buggy Man at the top of the stairs blocking their way out. She could feel fear quicken her heart as she looked into his eyes. She could feel him looking at her hand and his smile twitched. “Tell me, for I lost it a while ago, whatever happened to your tooth? Did you get it back?”
“No...” Lasta looked away.
“Did she do something to you?” he prodded. Lasta nodded.
“Yeah, she-she-she-”
“She cursed you didn't she?” he taunted with mock pity. Lasta remained silent as her eyes started to fill with water. The corners of her mouth tensed as she knew that her body was going to betray her. Seeing this caused the Buggy Man to burst out laughing as a tear fell.
“I bet that must have been traumatic. Shame really. I mean it is hardly like you can run back home and cry to your ever worried mother.” he laughed.
“How do you know about my curse!” Lasta shouted before she could stop herself. This too caused him to laugh even more. During this he then fell and behind him was Santa.
“Grandpa!” Jack shouted ran up to him and hugged him. Lasta had to look away out of envy, as they left the cave. They climbed on the sleigh and then Santa looked at Lasta and placed a hand on her head and smiled at her warmly.
“It's okay, birthday girl!” he exclaimed as he gave her her presents as he pulled the reigns and soon they were off. They flew over the houses and soon her eyes rested on her house. Then when she landed her eyes rested on that of her mothers' then her brothers' she lifted her hand to wave. Her eyes welled up with tears as she jumped out of the sleigh just before it touched down and then a light appeared and Lasta was gone!

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!
