The Anti-Fairy Tales The Sweet Demon Arc Final Part

 Reunion

They were locked seaway in a steel cage and were force fed all the sweets, cakes and puddings until they were sick. After which they were fed even more sweet foods. It was so bad that they almost could not breathe! Sometimes when they were being force fed they would come on the food with nothing to relieve the coughing fit. The only relief was during small breaks where they would be panting on the ground.

At night Pheoshan and Coalphyre were separated and she was taken to the sweet demons' bedroom. There she would be cleaned and chained to the wall. Once she was the sweet demon would open her mouth and drip some sweet venom that tasted like a foul honey that seemed not to have been made right.

This would cause her to become paralysed and she would become helpless as she watched her sloppy falling asleep. There she would sleep knowing that she could do nothing to stop her or defend herself from whatever she did in order to wall her up and her mouth would be filled with nothing but sugar and a cut into her arm.

She could not tell how long this went on but as time went on she looked painfully at Coalphyre add he became fatter and fatter, which she could do nothing about. Knowing that once he was fat enough,  his life would end with nothing to stop it. Not even her. This was what tortured her the most.

However as time went on she noticed that the venom of the sweet demon was taking longer and longer to take it's nasty effect on her. She soon found that it took her longer to drown in sleep too. Soon she was not drowning in sleep at all! Knowing this she forced herself to pretend to be asleep,  after all,  she knew that if the sweet demon were to find out then she would increase the dose. This would only decrease the time that Coaslphyre would have to get out. She forced herself not to react as the sweet demon held her face and opened her mouth. It took her everything within her to control her facial muscles as she forced a spoonful of sugar into her mouth and she had to let her close her mouth and pinch her nose which forced her to swallow. She had to ensure this several times, almost until she could no longer take it. She knew that she would be soon cracking.

Then, to her relief, she pulled away and stopped. She knew that she could not allow herself to show this either. She thought that this would be the end and she would leave her alone, yet she remembered the cut on her arm. She knew that the worst was yet to come. She gritted her teeth as she felt the pain as she reopened the wound. She felt her mouth on the wound. She tried her best not to moan as she felt her suck.

She then let out a groan. She then felt the sweet demon pull away, for a moment she looked at the girl. She leaned in to examine her like a cat about to pounce. She then felt her also get. She did nothing to react,  she could not even let out a sound. Not even when she hit her head on the wood book below. She heard her sigh.

"Just an ordinary human." She said. "Still the Demon King is integrators in her so I should remember not to let my guard down too much."

This, to her dismay, would lead for her to increase her dose.

"Ahh!" She screamed. "Why am I even entertaining these foolish thoughts? She's just a human must like any other! The Demon King is just getting senile, that's all!"

She was quiet for an uncomfortable amount of tinge as she thought.

"But she did break my sugar spell and only the Demon King could ever do that! Unless-"

She looked at the girl as if she was afraid of her for a moment.

"She had his power!" She concluded, at this she laughed. "Yeah right! As if His Majesty would ever allow a human of all creatures to have his power!"

She then returned to her drinking.

"See,  there! That's the blood of a human, an ordinary human being!" She reassured herself.

If only you knew!

She had to put up with this for a few more nights before she knew she would or could be no longer paralysed. However,  she knew that she would have to be patient. After all if she acted now then she would know that her venom was endearing off which would cost Coalphyre. So, for the next two nights she pretended that it was working.

Then on that third night, that was when she knew that would be the time to strike. She let the venom enter her mouth. This gave her the advantage as she drew near.

So,  how did I tap into that power again? How did I trigger it?

She thought about all the times that she had her blackouts. When she summoned that power.

I was in deep ditches and in a great emotional state. She thought and she forced herself to get into that emotional state. That was when she felt it. The weapon in her hand and with a flick of her wrist,  the blade and spikes pierced her heart. With the last thing that the sweet demon saw was the humans' eyes,  looking at her with the eyes of Wolfox. This told her that she did have his power. Her dying mind could not comprehend it, the very idea that a human had the power of her king. A human, the natural and most hated enemy of the demons. Her last thought was; How?

Pheoshan took her keys and freed herself and got to her feet. She spat out the venom. She walked out of the room and went to the ovan and turned it on. That, she knew would make the sugar melt and would burn the place down. 

She smiled and turned to the steel cage where Coalphyre was. It pained her to see how much weight he had put on. She knew that it would take a long time for him to lose all that weight. Yet she had no time to think about it. She took out the keys and unlocked the cage. She soon took his hand that was must as sticky as hers and pulled him out of the cage. They ran out and as she looked back, she knew that the heart of the ovan was not burning the house down, not as fast as she wanted.

Hold on, Wolfox has the power to burn a city down. She remembered as she thought about her time as Cinder Umbrella. Yes, and if it is true that I do have his power, regardless of how weak it is compared to his, then I should be able to do that too.

She raised her head and remembered how he set that kingdom alight. She then summoned her power and raised her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Acting on a hunch." She said as a small fireball appeared in her hand which had a dark tint. She then threw it at the house and it hit the door. She looked at it with a moment of shock. It not only obeyed her but as her eyes turned to her hand she realised that it had not burnt her either. It confirmed to her that she did have his power and it was hers' to command.

She soon saw that the house was on fire. She summoned another fireball at the house and the fire rose higher and higher. Soon the house was engulfed in flames and the wood above started to set on fire. She felt a sense of satisfaction as it collapsed and the house was crushed.

"Pheoshan… You're… What are you?"

"I don't know…" she said. 

They soon left and were reunited with Phyredoor.

"Where the Demon Realm have you two been?"

"How long have we been missing?" Pheoshan asked.

"A month. Now, tell me, where have you been?"

"Sit down. We have a lot to talk about."
