The Blue Rock And I Fortress Of The Red Rock Arc Part Seven

 The Escape


I was in a strange state of unconsciousness. Almost between sleep and awake. I tried to open my eyes but I could not. Yet I could hear everything that was being said. I felt so weak and exhausted that even lifting my eyelids was out of the question. I knew that I was being carried and I could tell, by the smell, that it was by Uncle Haru.

"How is she?" Cho asked.

Fine I'm fine!

"Hanging in there."

"By the way, what do you think that thing was?"

"Nothing from this planet."

"You mean that thing did not belong here?"

"No. Nor did it come from our planet."

"And what would make you an expert in this regard?"

"I don't know. I can sort of tell when someone is from this world. And that thing was anything but."

"Not to mention that it did not look as if it was like anything from our world. And nothing from mythology was like that!"

"You don't think that was an alien, do you?"

"Yes. It is quite possible."

"So is it truly out of the realm of possibility?"

"Well we are in an alien thought now!"

"What! Really?"

"Yes!"

"Well that does explain that acid blood."

"I thought they'd be little green aliens."

"Grey."

"Then why do they call them 'green'?"

"Don't know."

"Well my father did look into those things and the supernatural."

"How come?"

"Because he actually believed all those things." He said as he let out a laugh.

"So should we wait until she wakes?"

"Yes."

"Do you think that they would leave a scar?"

"I don't know. Yet I don't think it would matter to her if it did."

"But-"

"Cho, she's just like me and my brother. So no, I hardly think that a scar would bother her nearly as much as you. In fact, depending on how much alike she is, she'll be happy to have one."

"What! But how can any girl be okay having a scar like that?"

"Cho, do you think that she would have that white crop of hair if she did?"

"What do you mean?"

"She got those by getting into fights."

"Really, I thought that she got those white streaks due to the stress of experimentation."

"No. If that was the case then there would be more white in her hair."

"And how would you know that Alexander?"

"How do you think that my gaiter turned this colour?"

I tried to open my eyes as I felt them lift my body higher and higher. Yet I found it difficult. However I kept trying and soon I was able to open them. I looked at Uncle Haru and I noticed that my face was numb. I went to touch my face but I could not feel my fingers on my face. Then I felt my entire body ache. I then looked around as I was carried to the top of the stairs.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded, knowing that I was far too weak to say it.

"Key?"I whispered.

He nodded. He then looked down and grabbed my wrist and pulled it away.

"Don't do that. You will reopen the wounds."

"How bad?"

"I cannot say. Just keep still and we will find out."

I nodded. I was about to try to stand when Uncle Haru's grip stopped me. I looked down to see that my left calf was covered in blood.

"What happened?"

"We wanted you to be awake when we freed the others."

"Right."

Cho took the keys and walked to the cages and unlocked 1354, then Eve Josephs and finally Johanna Rudolph. 

"About time!"

Alexander walked up to them.

"Are you all alright?'

"Yes."

"Urm…yes sir."

"Please call me Alexander." He said as he looked at Eve Josephs's arm.

"It was the number that they tattooed onto my arm. It was one of the many ways that dehumanised us."

"You don't need to worry about that now. Now Johanna, I know that you know the truth and you should accept it. It was never the Jews or those that my father thought were not pure human but my father's ideology that was the enemy of Germany. I hope that you will come to accept it."

She cooked her eyes and folded her arms.

"Hum!" She said, bobbing her head like a proud pony.

That was when we all felt a tremor run throughout the fortress. Then the roof tiles fell around us.

"We have to get out of here!"

Everyone went to run out of the room before any of us got crushed or trapped in the room but the door slammed in front of us. Then a gold plaque appeared with good waiting engraved into it.


To Open The Door Answer The Riddle


There are many of me

During the day you only see one

At night I scatter like the sea

As the blinding light is gone


"What is that all about?" Johanna snapped.

"I don't know!"

Then another roof tile fell where their cages were.

"Look, we have to think. What blinding light causes one of, whatever the answer is, to appear at night but disappear in the day?"

"It's a star!" Called 1354.

Then the door opened. They all ran through the door and fled down the stairs and Uncle Haru held me tightly and he ran down step after step. We soon came to the ground floor. We were able to get through the door and into the hallway where we were stopped by one of those creatures that we faced.

"Bring me my weapon!" Shouted Alexander.

He took out an arrow and fired at the creature. It hit him in the throat, but it still did nothing to stop it.  1354 took out an arrow and handed it to him and he fired. This hit it in the right eye and still it raced on. He took out another and gave it to him. He fired and this hit between the eyes. He fell over and he pulled out another.

"Brain!" He said.

Alexander nodded and hit the head again. 

"Cho, take Aqua." Said Uncle Haru.

She wrapped her arms around me and held me like a baby.

"Bring me my weapon!"

"Why?"

Then another creature fell from a roof tile and scrambled to its feet. He then fired at it in the head again and again and again before it even had the chance to get its bearings. 

We then ran on and then we saw another set of stairs. We ran down them only for the stairs beneath to fall into a pile of rubble.

"How are we going to get out of here?"

"Look around."

Alexander nodded and spotted the pile of rubble beside us. He then pulled a rock away and we were able to get through the hole to another corridor. We ran down as the stairs behind us completely collapsed. Then we ran down the corridor to be greeted by a door with four keyholes inside. Above them were four circles. I looked at the keys and the bracelets.

"Put me down." I said.

"But-"

"I can stand."

She put me down.

"Uncle Haru, take a key. Cho, take a key and Alexander, take a key. I'll have the last." I said as I was given one.

I took off my bracelet and the others did the same. I stuck the key in and then put the bracelet in the circle. They did the same. We turned the key and the door opened. Then we ran out of the fortress as fast as we could. Meanwhile Uncle Haru pulled me up as we ran and ran then we saw the rocks rolling beside us. We looked back to see that the fortress was nothing but a pile of rubble.

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!
