The Anti-Fairy Tales The Sweet Demon Arc Part Four

 The Vain Escape



They could not tell how long that they had spent there for everything had become a blur. Coalphyre had put on more and more weight yet Pheoshan was putting on weight slowly, slower as each day wore on. She had even started to get headaches too. She had been tasked with the job of cleaning the strange bowls and cutlery, yet she was watched by the sweet demon. With the waste going into the fire that she would give the ashes to the sweet demon. She saw an old woman with snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. She no longer saw the scales or the reptilian eyes. She did not even see those serpentine teeth,  but now she saw a normal set of teeth.

She had an increase of these strange headaches as she decreased in her weight gain. Eventually, she started to see the teeth. She would look at her in a moment of fear, yet in the next moment she would see the normal teeth. Yet these moments became more frequent and what she would see and the headaches would only end by the sugar that she would give and things would be normal again.

"A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!" She would sing.

But after a while, her headaches became more frequent and worse. Soon the sugar stopped working and made the aching worse and flashes of her memory would come to her. Soon the sweet demon had to increase the sugar and the amount of food she had. This worked better yet she kept a closer eye on her. 

Then came the day when nothing worked. She felt her memories started to return to her. Not to mention she was not putting on any weight. She was soon seeing things the way that they truly were. This, she knew, she would have to keep secret. Yet she became concerned with Coalphyre, and how much weight he had put on!

Then nightfall came, she waited at the bottom of the cage, pretending to be asleep. She waited until she knew that the sweet demon was asleep before she shook Coalphyre awake. He grumbled under his breath before she shook him harder before she woke him up.

"What?" He moaned.

"We need to get out of here."

"Why? What is there out there that we can't have here?"

"How about our lives."

"What? What are you talking about? We've always been here."

"No, it's the sugar,  it dulled us in some way. For a while we have forgotten the outside world. But I have woken up."

"Okay fine!"

"Shhh!"

She looked at the bedroom that the sweet demon was sleeping in, affair that he had women her up. She listened until she heard the snoring, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Now,  if everything here is made of that sugar so must the bars."

"So, you wanna east through the bars?"

"Yes,  yes we are!"

"After you!"

"Shhh!"'

She tilted her head and took a bite. To her shock,  it seemed that the bats were the sweetest and the most tasty thing in the entire house! She and Coalphyre ate and ate, yet as she did Pheoshan had to ignore the headache and pushed on eating. As she ate, her headache intensified and it almost became unbearable, yet she had to continue. To stop meant death. She continued until the bars were gone.

"Right, come on."

He nodded as they then stood on their feet. It took longer for them to get to the door as their weight slowed them down. Yet they tried to move as silently as she could keeping Coalphyre close by just in case the sweet food around them was booby trapped. They walked through the door and took in the first fresh air that they had in a long time.

"Cone on." Pheoshan said as she knew that they could not enjoy it.

She then pulled him as they ran as fast as they could; they almost made it to the forest when suddenly their feet changed direction. They made a complete u turn and ran in the direction of the gingerbread house!

Of course! I should have known that it would not have been that easy. She thought bitterly.

She then tried to get her feet away from the house, yet she could not stop herself. They both ran into the house then they were back in the cage. None of them were able to prevent themselves from doing so. That was when she heard the laughing.

"Thought you were awake!"

She looked back at the door to see the sweet demon looking at them,  the way she truly was.

"It's a good job that all my sweet sugar is enchanted."

"What?"

"You can't escape no matter how much you want to. Not as long as part of you wants my sugar."

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!
