After the job with the duck, Strena felt good in her mood. She knew that she would have to choose her next job but she just could not help it, but she could not shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. It had plagued her since the moment that she had woken up. It had stayed with her. her right up until she walked up to the board. She looked at the jobs and wondered which one she should take this time.

Well, I'm pretty sure that it's not like the one with the dog. She thought. She looked at the price and, she was sure that, that was a great deal of money. She had not yet asked Zaryb to explain how the whole money thing works, but she did not want to at the same time. She had to jump and tale it. She then walked over to where he was drinking and eating his beans one toast. She ordered her meal and gave it to him.
She saw his pupils became smaller and then return to it's original size. He smirked and placed it down.
“Sounds interesting.” he said. “I guess that you could do this one.”
He then gave her the poster as her meal came to her.
“Thank you.” she said.
She soon dug in.
“Well, let's pack once that you've finished your breakfast.” he said.
“Yes, Master Zaryb.” she sighted which led to a bean going down the wrong hole. She coughed and he hit her on her back several timed until it came back up and she forced herself to swallow it down the right hole.
“Breathe.” he said. “Slowly and deeply.”
She did what he had told her and she soon got over her.
“Thank you.” she whispered.
“Well, next time try to keep your one liners to yourself until you have swallowed your food alright.” he said as he looked at her in the eye.
She nodded.
“Alright.” she said as she returned to her food. She then did not speak until she had finished. She then left to pack. She then put her bag on her back and they set off. They journeyed to the nearest city of Toaphracropylis. She looked around awed by the large marketplace. She had never seen so many shops, nor as many people in one place! Her senses were overwhelmed by the shops, people and colours. She looked all around as her eyes drank in every detail. She even spotted that there were many animals and she could have sworn that some of them were speaking.
“Move it!” shouted someone that had barged by her and Zaryb. She looked at him afraid that he was going to kill them for what they did. But he just shrugged, clearly determined not to give into petty spite.
He grabbed her hand like a parent would their child to make sure that he did not lose her.
“You know daddy I can walk on my own.” she remarked as she tried to yank her hand out of his.
“Not here.” he said.
She looked around and spotted a man looking at them. He had a black hooded robe on with gold lining and runes stitched in the lining in silver. She could see his smile as, she knew he looked at them. Even-though she could not quite see them she knew that they were the eyes of a predator.
Did he recognise me? If so, then-
She jumped as Zaryb put a hand on her shoulder.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
“Yeah, just don't do that will you?” she snapped.
“Sorry, it's just I was worried about you. Now, as for that toad that you wanted.” he said.
She put on a sneaky smirk.
“Didn't mummy tell you not to get me one?”
He pulled her in close and kissed her on the cheek.
“Well mummy isn't here is she?” he smirked.
“No.” she said as she took a glance back and spotted that the man was following them.
She felt a hand push her onwards.
“Plus, why wouldn't I want to spoil me favourite daughter.”
“I'm your your only daughter.” she said as she followed him as they squeezed past the crowd.
“Now, where do you think that it is?” she asked.
“Oh I think I know.” he said.
She looked back as she saw the man was still on their tail.
“Ahh! Yes, I took short cut down here.” he said as he walked down a street with a lot less shops and people.
He's seen him! She deduced.
She then looked back and spotted that the man was still following them. She felt her heartbeat increase as she knew that the man was going to die if he continued to follow them. This also told her that he had recognised her and now she was going to be used the bait to kill this strange man.
“Now as for another short cut.” he said as he ushered her down an isolated ally where he walked deeper and deeper.
“Oh, and may I just ask why are you following us Froat the toad turner.” he said.
She screamed as she looked back to see that the man lowered his hood to reveal a face that resembled that of a frog.
“Oh, how did you know that it was me?” he asked.
“From the moment the girl picked the job.” he said.
“So this is Arielsa Zuve'! Well hearing about this it one thing but to see it is another!” he said.
She took a step back as she knew that was going to happen next.
“What? Why are you so scared?”
“Alright, how many people know?” he asked.
“Everyone that matters. After all you killed the the king and queen. Not to mention that everyone knows that the little princess vanished and a month later it is revealed that you had a child apprentice? Anyone with a brain would be able to figure it out.” he said.
He looked at her.
“By the way, have you told her who you are yet?” he asked. “Or have you told her what I do?”
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“He turns royals into toads and frogs.” he said.
“You mean-”
“Yes, I want to add the two of you to me collection. Although judging by that bracelet that the pair of you have, I'm going to have to sell you off as a pair.” he said.
“What? He's not royal!” she snapped.
“Strena, please be silent.” he said with a high-pitched cold tone to his voice.
He then took out a few small tiny blades at him faster than she could even see. He looked at them slightly confused as he fell. Then a cage rolled out from under him and the door opened then frogs and toads jumped out and with a flash she was soon surrounded by teenage boys and girls. She looked at the dead body.
At least he didn't put any blood on my this time.
“Look if you're going to break a spell like that, you have to kill the enchanter.” he said.
She nodded.
“So, there are people who know the truth out there.” she said.
He nodded.
“What did he mean by have you told me who you are yet?” she asked.
“I might tell you.” he said. “But that's up to me.”
She nodded.
“Time to collect your bounty.” he said.

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!
