The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town The Magician Arc Part Two

Magician's Eye

Melinda just could not shake the feeling of being watched even while she was looking at herself in the mirror. She curled her lip slightly looking at her school uniform. The green blazer and trousers felt odd on her. She hardly even took to the school's crest, which was an embroidered raven with a crimson rose in its beak on a shield. She looked at er tie, wondering what to do with it. She looked at Jaden to help.
“Well, you look smart.” she said as she tied her tie for her.
“Why do I even need-”
“Because in England, unlike America, we wear uniforms to go to school. Although girls usually wear skirts, but in some schools like Staliarb High, they hardly care only if it's of the school standers.” she said.
Why is England so different? She thought as she looked at herself in the small mirrors that were in a row.. Even-though she did look smart, she did not like how it made her look more pale than she was. Nor did she like how it looked on her.
“I still don't like it.” she said sully.
“That hardly matters, now are you ready?” she asked.
“Yes, but when are we gonna have that talk?” she asked.
“Later, but there are those I have to visit first.” she explained.
She nodded as they turned and left the house. She then locked the door.
“When am I gonna get a key?” she asked.
“Probably when you're old enough, and when I can trust you with one.” she said.
“Oh.” she said remembering that even-though they were sisters, and that now she was her legal guardian, she was still a stranger to her.
“By the way, why aren't they body length mirrors in the house?” she asked.
“Well, I hope that I never have to tell you nor find out.” she said.
As she passed the farm she saw the most peculiar thing that was both curious and creepy. All of the cows and sheep were looking at her. Not anyone else, not Jaden, not the car, just her. Their heads turned to keep her in her sights.
She frowned as she tried to keep herself from focusing on the disturbing sight. However she then spotted a few cameras she spotted that there was something off with then but she could not focus on them too long for there was not that much time. Then they parked up to the building. It was a large Tudor building but Victorian gates with bars and at the top there was an arrow at the top, like the tail of a dragon or the head of a spear.
She then could see that there were those off cameras too. This gave her a longer time to look at them and then she figured out what was so strange about them. They were human eyes! At this she screamed. Her sister knelt and placed her hand on her shoulder. She looked at her in the eye and then back at the camera. To her horror they were identical.
“It's alright, that's the magician he used the eyes of those who lost his game.” she explained like a soldier arming one of the newest recruit.
She looked at her.
“Did you play it?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Did you lose?”
“Yes.”
She looked back at the camera she felt a sinking feeling in her gut.
“Is there anything else that I should know about?”
“Yes, for once that you lose he can control you.”
“Has he controlled you?”
“Yes.”
“How many times?”
Jaden looked aside as she took her hand off. She then opened the door.
“Wow!”
She smiled weakly.
“I know. This was where I went to school. And our mother and father.” she said.
Her eyes widened slightly. As she entered she wondered whether or not her patents had played the game. She then wondered if the magician had won or lost. If they lost, then how many times had he used them. If he did use them, then did he use them in America? If so how long and how may times?
“So, how is the most favoured student?” came a strict and commanding voice.
“Headmaster Tapping. I can still see you don't like me.”
“Why, is that not far too clear? I assume that this is the famous little sister of yours. I can see that she could have your penance of mischief.” he said as he looked at her with vivid blue eyes with thick eyebrows. He had high cheekbones and sunken in wrinkled cheeks. He was wearing a grey suit with a pail red tie.
“Well, Headmaster Tapping, this is Melinda, Melinda this is is Headmaster Tapping.” she said.
Remembering what her old school had taught her. She held out her hand. He took it with a strong an d firm grip and shook. She smiled he was going to be one of those headmasters that valued discipline and not nonsense.
“That's a good handshake.” she commented.
“Glad you value them. After all they are more important than you think.”
“Yeah, its just I don't like those finger squeezes. After all, it's called a hand shake.”
He smiled approvingly and nodded.
“I think that I might get along with you after all. Now, Jaden I think that you aught to get to work.”
She laughed and nodded.
“Yeah, Harrison hates it when I'm late.” she said.
“Now, have a nice day.” she said as she left.
Headmaster tapping looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Alright, time for me to give you a tour of this school, and I do expect that you pay attention. I know of what had happened to your patents, however I hope that you can try to control your emotions for your time at this school, if your emotions get the better of you, however make sure that you tell your teacher, or the teacher that you are being taught by.” he explained.
Melinda nodded.
“I won't and I will.”
He then gestured for him to follow.
“Now, here at Staliarb High, we demand respect from our students and will not tolerate rule braking nor do we tolerate bullying. Your teachers will instruct you to become what you wish to become. Now tell me are you a book worm?” he asked.
“Yes, why?”
He smiled. And his left eye narrowed as his cheek wrinkled.
“Then, if you wish to read, this is where you aught to go to feet your reading mind. It is filled mainly with non-fiction however there are many fictional books, after all a readers mind is always better with imaginative worlds to explore.” he said.
He then closed his eyes and his head shook. He rubbed his eyes and that was when his demeanour changed.
“Hello, you must be Melinda. I must say, that uniform makes you look like an even more of a pale beauty.” he said with a tone of his voice that was more like that of a performer. He then placed a finger under her chin.
“We're going to play my game soon. And when we do, you're going to come alone. If I win then I shall win you and your beauty, If your won your reward is yours.”

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!
