The Blue Rock And I Retrieve From The Blue Rock Part Three

The Witch's Deal


We travelled for a long time and my drowsiness became greater and greater. It soon became so hard that the only thing keeping me awake was walking. Yet even that became useless. I could feel my eyelids drop as we walked and walked. I could even feel my head bobbing. I clenched my fist into a ball, hoping that the pain of my nails digging into my palm would be enough to keep me  awake. Yet even though it kept me awake, I knew that it would be barely enough. As I continued I could feel the sleepiness becoming even more overwhelming. I soon felt my eyelids drop and my head bobbed like a basketball. I could feel my walking become sloppy and my feet barely left the ground.

Then I felt slightly nauseous and cold. I felt myself sweating and as we continued, my sweat increased as my heartbeat became strange and felt light in my chest. I could feel my breathing become deep and steady until it became completely silent. I soon could feel my stomach churning as my nausea became worse. Suddenly my heartbeat increased and became light. I could feel my mind becoming lighter and lighter.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out of my mouth but nothing came out of it. I knew that this must have been witchcraft too. Yet the most frustrating thing was that I could do nothing about it. I was completely trapped in my own body and there was nothing that I could do to escape. 

I need to sleep. I know that I can't continue like this. I will faint soon. I thought as I felt my legs continue, which I knew was only being maintained by witchcraft. So this is what real witchcraft feels like. I don't like this. I don't like this one bit!

Yet as I continued I soon noticed that the only reason that I was even continuing was witchcraft too. I was powerless in this torture and I knew it. As the day wore in and on it soon became evening. We only took a quick break for dinner. During which I felt completely awake. Yet the moment that it ended the overpowering sleepiness returned more powerful than before. It was so powerful that I was only awake by the magic alone.

So when night finally did come, we all took our places and everyone fell asleep. Yet even though I felt tired I just could not drift off to sleep. I could feel myself shaking as I felt myself crying silently at the powerlessness that I had over my own body. I knew that I should close my eyes but I could not even do that!

So when the next day came I not only felt tired,I felt ill. I know that the only remedy was sleep but I could not even get a wink.

"Are you alright?" Uncle Haru asked.

"Yes. We need to hurry. Even though I was told that time here has synchronised to the time out there I don't think that I believe it." 

"Then do not worry so much."

"I will try not to." I lied.

We soon had our breakfast and soon walked for another day, only stopping for lunch and tea. We arrived at an inn. Suddenly I felt my feet walk to it.

"Where are you going?"

"I think that we should book the night. We have been walking for about three days now. I think we all would benefit from a good soak and sleep in a soft bed." I felt my lips say.

"But we don't have any money from here! How can we pay for a night here?" Johanna jeered.

Yet when we were approached by the innkeeper, she looked up.

"You need not worry. Your rooms have already been paid for. Here are the keys for you." She said giving us the keys.

We all walked to our rooms. I soon took a bath and soon cleaned myself. This helped me relax greatly. I then got out of the bath and put on a different set of clothes. Then I put the dirty set of clothes in a bag before putting it all away. I collapsed on the bed. My eyes closed immediately. Then my eyes soon opened. In front of me I saw a woman in a silk black dress with pale skin that looked very much like the witches I had killed. Yet I could not make out the rest of her face.

"So you are the one that broke my spell."

"Y-yeah." I said as I tried to get up, but I found that I could only move my mouth.

"I see that you are less of a fool as all the others that I have ensnared here. Not anyone would recognize the hand of my magic that fast." She said as she started to stroke my back slowly, almost like a mother.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"No. Not yet."

"Then what are you here for?"

She leaned in close to me.

"I wish to make a deal with you."

"I will make no such thing! And stop that!" I shouted.

"Shhh! You do not want to wake the others, so you?" She cooed covering my mouth.

"Now the deal is, I will enchant the map to show you where the others are and I will let you find them. I will even let you leave Stellam too."

"And in return?"

"You are to simply drink my blood."

"And if I refuse?"

She smiled.

"I will make you even more of a liability to the group. Or I could bring the others in here still asleep and wake them before I kill them right in front of you, or I could make you do it?"

"Why?"

"Because you broke my spell, which took a great resource of my power away from me, I want to make you my personal plaything and maybe then my personal pet. I can not express just how much I want to see that beautiful face of yours slowly twist into nothing but scars and tears. But don't worry, that will be the last thing that I will scar. So even if you make the deal I will not make it easy for you but I will not harm you or the others if you do."

I looked aside.

She will only do that eventually but at least, I will be able to do my mission better this way. At least this way I will be able to get the others out as well. I do need to keep them safe too.

"Alright. But I would like to add to that."

"Ohh? And what is that?"

"You can do whatever you want to me and I will go with you but you must not harm any of my friends."

She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"My deer, that sounds perfect. We have a deal. Although I will hold you to that." She said as we shook.

She pulled out a knife and the next moment I drank her blood and my eyes closed. I woke the following day feeling well rested. I looked at the map to see the places that we needed to go glowing in amber.

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...

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 toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
