The Anti-Fairy Tales The Sweet Demon Arc Part Two

 Bread Crumbs


Pheoshan and Coalphyre woke up. The sick sweet scent of sugar entered their noises. The first thing that their eyes met was a sky with pink candyfloss for clouds and a sun the size of a small island far in the sky,  yet it gave no heat, in fact it looked like it was made of sherbet lemon. As they sat up they noticed that they had been lying on a ground made of marshmallow. They looked around and saw that the trees were made of toffee and green glass-like toffee for the leaves and the fruit on them was toffee and chocolate covered apples.

"Where are we?" Coalphyre asked.

"A dream world."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then how do we wake?"

"I don't know." She said as she noticed a line of rocks. She crouched down to examine it. She then locked it and noticed that it tasted salty and was cold, like a real rock.

"Strange."

"What?"

"It's rock."

"Yes, I can see that but what does it mean?"

She pointed around them.

"Everything here has a sweet theme. So why is there a rock here made of rock, and not something sweet?" She asked.

He nodded and he soon understood.

"Should we follow it?"

"I think so."

They walked along the rock, which was too small to walk on. Yet they had noticed that the marshmallow was sticky so they knew that they would have to continue fast enough so that they did not get stuck. Yet they had to pull their shoes up every now and again. They kept their minds on the stones that they were following like bread crumbs. They soon came to a dead end.

"Now what?"

"We look for something else that is just as equally out of place." She said as her eyes were already darting around.

"But can we not eat something first?" He asked.

"Didn't we eat some gingerbread when we passed out?"

"Yes, but I'm still hungry, so can we eat?"

"No! We're in a dreamworld, we don't need to eat!" She said. "Not to mention the one that created this dreamworld may not be friendly, so we should only trust what we know."

He nodded as he looked aside. He then started to frown.

"Tell me, all of this is all about sweet things right?"

"Yeah, have you found anything?"

"See for yourself!" He said as he pointed a tail of off white dots.

She crouched and licked it.

"Breadcrumbs!"

"Do you think that that qualifies?"

"Yes. It is savoury food after all!"

They then followed the breadcrumbs. Yet after they had gone so far a crow zoomed down and quickly ate the breadcrumb in front of them. They looked back to see that the path that they had come from was gone, including the rocks! They looked back to see another eat another. They ran to the next one must as another ate that one. They ran and ran until their hearts were racing so fast yet they dared not to slow down for a second. Knowing that if they had missed even one then they would not wake up. They only stopped when they came to the end. The Crow then landed on her shoulder.

They then looked at the crow.

"Cross the bridge."

They frowned as they could not believe what they had just heard.

"Follow me!" She said and flew off her shoulder.

Knowing that they had no other option, they followed the crow. They started to walk at first,  but then as the crow started to fly faster they had to break out into a light jog. When they had been jogging for a while then the crow sped up slightly causing them to break out into a run. They soon broke out into a sweat. Then the crow stopped and landed on a pillar of a chocolate bridge. Underneath was a liquid river that was made from melted sugar.

"Walk over and eat none." She said.

They started to walk over the bridge, yet the temping scent of chocolate entered their nostrils. As they walked on, the scent became stronger and stronger. Their months started to salivate and they had to gulp it all down as their mouths became filled with their saliva. Before they knew it, they were across.

"Now what?"

"Eat the muffin that is growing on the tree before you." 

They saw the tree which was made of chocolate and had pink leaves that were marshmallows, that had pink flowers growing from it. They walked up to it and picked a flower. They opened the flower and picked a muffin from the centre. They took a bite and their eyes opened.

When they woke, they noticed that they were in the gingerbread house. They saw that they were in a steel cage littered with human bones of all ages.

"Hello dearies!" Came a sickly sweet voice.

They looked up to see an old woman with scales instead of skin. Her green eyes were reptilian like that of a lizard and deep purple lips that were like that of a lizard too. Her tying was forked and was a deep shade of purple that appeared black. Her sharp teeth were curved inwards like that of a snake.

"Did you have a sweet dream?"

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!
