The Snow Princess

 

Princess Yukichi knew that something was up from the moment that her uncle led them away from the castle with their men. Yet the tension had been rising between them and him all their lives and yet she was too young to know why. Then all became clear when her father and mother departed from the party. Her mother took her by the hand and was about to lead her away until she was stopped by an arrow in the neck.

The young Princess Yukichi screamed as she was far too young to understand what was going on or how to react. All she knew was that her mother was dead and she was not coming back. She tried to move her mother but she might as well have moved a sack of sand. She tried and tried to get her mother to move but she could not.

"Bother, you dare betray us?!" Her father shouted as he drew his sword.

That was when her uncle raised his arrow to his chest.

"I do." He said then he fired.

Afraid Princess Yukichi ran from them and she ran as fast as she could, not stopping for a moment. Her terrified little heart pounded like it had never done before. She heard her pulse in her ear and the icy snow did nothing to help but made her even colder than she was. As she was hit by a gust of wind her black locks moved away from her back and neck making her more colder. She could hear her uncles' men chase her as she ran. She soon ran into the icy forest which she thought would help slow them all down. Yet she ran further and further into the forest, still running as fast as she could with already frozen tears running down her cheeks. Yet then she tripped and fell down a small cliff right into the snow below. When she hit the snow she immediately lost consciousness. 

The soldiers then arrived and searched and searched for her but to no avail. Some climbed trees and slipped and fell to their deaths. Not one of them could find her. They looked all around for her black hair but could not find a single strand, in fact they had not been able to find a single strand of black hair for a long time. Seeing that their efforts were all in vain they left little realising that the little princess was under their noses the entire time. For they did not notice that, as she ran the black hair became grey and the grey became white. This change of colour in her hair was caused by the great stress of what was happening to her and as she was already far too pale to begin with she was well camouflaged in the snow.

When she woke, she no longer felt cold and was greeted by a winter fairy who took her in and raised her.

"Do you wish to tell me your name child?"

"Yukichi."

"And where are you from?"

The girl looked away as she tried to search for her memories yet could find nothing but a black hole. She only knew her name and knew nothing but how to speak. Noticing that the girl had nothing, she decided to raise the child. As she grew she became bright and beautiful with the vold neger effecting her whatsoever. Her intellect was what the winter fairy put the most effort into and tried to find out who the girl was.

When the girl became twenty one she was discovered by her uncle, who hardly recognised her! Yet out of curiosity he engaged her in conversation and after seeing her intenegance he took her back to his kingdom to become his adviser. After a year he asked her to tell him about herself as he grew fond of her and her company. 

"I do not know much of my past nor where I came from, after all I was raised by a winter fairy that, try as she might, could not help me remember who I am. All I know is my name." She said.

He nodded with a smile.

"And would you care to give it?"

"Yukichi." She said and the moment the word left her lips he suddenly recognised her and drew his sword.

She looked down already knowing that he had intended to kill her and she became shocked. And yet when he went to strike her a gust of wind threw the windows open. He drew himself inwards to keep himself warm. Yet the room became colder and colder. He looked up at Yukichi and noticed that she was not being affected by the ice cold. Yet all he could think about was to kill her. So he forced himself to fling his sword at her and she closed her eyes and threw out her hand. Suddenly an icicle hit him in the heart  

Soon the kingdom found out what happened and news spread. They all looked at Yukichi and soon found out that she was Princess Yukichi and soon made her queen. Yet none would know the full truth, including Queen Yukichi, for it was no coincidence that the snow storm happened or that an icicle hit her uncles' heart. After all, all those years ago the winter fairy gave her some of her power, which she never knew about.

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!
