The Witch Within The Forest Of Illusions Arc


Part Two
Illusions Of Animals


After the first time she had been in the Forest Of Illusions Loc felt more confident about the next time as she sat there in her classroom. The next time was about discerning the difference between true and illusion made animals and creatures.
“Yo, Loc, someone sitting there?” asked Max. She shook her head and he sat down next to her. “Good.”
“I didn't say that you sit there.”
“Didn't ask, plus nobody should sit alone.”
They heard the sound of many meows coming from the door. Then it banged open and they saw several metal boxes with holes in them on a metal trolley. Then came two hands that belonged to Curogh. He then pulled out two cats and placed them down on the table in front of each student. They looked at them and Loc stroked them, but then the one on the left grew long fang and scaly skin and jumped at her. She felt a scratch on her face.
“Loc! Don't believe it exists!” Max shouted as he reached out but his hands went right though the creatures' body.
“Loc, Max is right, an illusion is as powerful as your mind makes it!” Curogh shouted.
Loc nodded and closed her eyes and when she opened the pain an the cat was gone! She looked at the other cat and hesitated but stroke it lightly and could feel the warmth beneath her palms. She soon remembered that there was no warmth in the illusion and it had a hollow feeling. This, she knew was the real cat and the other was a fake, an illusion, just like Max and Curogh had just said.
“Ha! Serves you right!” said a girl on the other side of the room.
“Sara! Never do that again!” Curogh snapped. She looked at him and her lip curled but she accepted the correction. “Now write down everything that you learn from the two cats in front of you. Then get a good night's sleep because at nine o'clock sharp you shall be going back into the Forest Of Illusions tomorrow. Then the day after you will all have a psychological evaluations.”
They nodded and then they all wrote down everything that they had gathered. Loc and Max shared his cat. They both talked about many things and observations that the other missed. Together they both had double the amount of notes than the others by the end of the lesson. This caused the rest to give them with envy.

She woke up at seven o'clock and got into her white t-shirt and black trousers. She then ate her breakfast, Max again sat next to her. They then walked to the aircraft. They then were led to their paths and then walked in, even the ones that ran the first time. It was all too clear that they had learnt from the first time.
She had walked a good distance where she saw a young kid whimpering alone. She was just about to pass it by until it started to howl and cry. She looked at it in horror as tears fell from the big black eyes.
Foxes don't shed tears.
She walked on as the sound died down. She walked further until she spotted a lamb chained to the bark of the tree. She walked over to it but her eyes dropped to her feet to see that the lamb had twin toes. Knowing that this was an illusion she returned to the path.
She walked on and her stomach started to rumble. She felt herself getting slightly tired and tripped over something. She looked down and spotted that there was a sleeping puppy. He licked his paw and then opened his eyes and looked at her. He sat up and than grew into a wolf. Loc backed away and as he jumped up and her eyes closed.
“You're not real!” she shouted and flicked her eyes open and the wolf was gone and she got to her feet.
She walked and walked until she started to feel board, so board that she could have sworn that she heard the meowing of a small kitten. Then she saw the kitten just sat there whining away almost like how a dog or wolf howls. Feeling her weakness for cuteness come over her and she walked over to the kitten and picked it up and hugged it.
For her, she needed this. She had lost her parents and her sisters. Worst of all they were the ones that killed them in the first place. They were the reason that she was here, because of their illusion that they had used to distract her so that they had the time to do it. However there was a part of her that wanted things to go back to the way they were. There was another part of her that frightened her, a part of her that wished for revenge for that.
Then she felt hair and something embrace her. Her eyes opened in confusion only to see that the kitten had somehow grown spiders arms and the mouth opened to reveal serpents' teeth. In horror she threw it away and ran as she was chased by the spider kitten.
Then she heard the cry of a baby and knowing that this too was an illusion she covered her ears until she left the forest with tears lining her cheeks.

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!
