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

 The Dungeons


We were glad to leave the tomb, especially Elsa and Merry. Both seemed to enjoy the sun on their faces. Meanwhile the rest seemed to be unable to believe what they were seeing. Yet despite this, we knew that we had to get to the dungeons. That was when I noticed that we were far from the graveyard. Then I spotted a castle that was in front of us. It was a small castle with three or four levels that was protected by a single drawbridge. 

"That is where we are to go next."

"How do you know?"

"Because the map told me."

"Oh."

"Johanna,please refrain from asking foolish questions."

She nodded as she looked aside. Her eyes suddenly rested upon me almost as if she wanted to kill me.

"Sure."

I would have commented if I had the time. However I knew that none of us did. So we walked into the castle. We were soon jumped upon.. I felt one of the men grip my wrists so tightly that I was afraid that he was going to crush them! We were pulled up and were dragged forward. I walked on, keeping quiet and my mind racing of what I was going to do next. Yet as I walked on I realised that this would lead directly to the dungeons. This meant that I should not struggle. After all, the sooner that we got to them the faster we could go. 

"Tell me, Aqua, was this part of your plan?"

"No, but don't struggle. The sooner we comply, the sooner we can move on." I told her trying to tip her off on what the plan was.

"Hur!"

"Johanna, please. We need to get this all over as soon as we can. We can not afford to delay." Alexander whispered.

At this she calmed, yet I knew that she would grow to hate me more for that. However I could not care less or focus upon that. Not if we were to focus on getting into the dungeons and then getting out of them. Alexander and I were separated from the others and we were thrown into a cell and the other group in a different one. That was the opposite. We were chained to the wall far away from the door. We were both gagged after. I frowned, wondering why they did this. Yet as I thought about this I realised that the guards had identified me and Alexander as the leaders. I had read about this a while ago. This caused my stomach to drop as I remembered what would come next.

We have to get out of here before it comes to that. I can not go through that again.

I then looked around me. I looked for something, anything that would get me out of here. I looked at the stone tile below. I noticed that all of them had sealing in between them. I soon found one that did not. It was the third time to my right. 

I reached out my foot to get it, yet I could not quite get to it. So I looked at Alexander with my foot and I pointed to it. He looked down to where I was pointing. He nodded. He forced his foot to where it was. Yet he had to stretch as far as he could to push at the stone. I then did the same. My heart sank as it was too clear that we were far too short to reach it. 

Yet I knew that one of us would be able to reach it. Then my heat sank deeper as I realised that in order to reach it, I would have to be put through a great deal of pain. I closed my eyes in dread as I forced myself on. I let out a whimper as the cuff dug painfully into her wrists. I then thrust my heel into the tile and all the cuffs opened and I flopped. Then I took out my gag. Then cupped my wrists and then rubbed my chest.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Will be." I said as I got up. 

I looked at the wall. I looked at all of the stone bricks. I soon found that there was one that had no cement around. I pushed it, yet nothing happened. Yet I knew that this was the place to move. So I pushed harder. This did nothing. So I punched it out of sheer frustration, almost breaking my knuckles in the process. Yet as my blood trickled down into the gap and the brick fell back. Then the door opened.

I then soon ran out. I soon noticed the guards, guarding the rest of the group. I ran to them and hit one and thrust my toe into the face of the other. They soon fell completely knocked out. I then collected the key and, with a painful hand, unlockd the door. Alexander held out the door as the others walked out? Uncle Haru loaded his bow and shot at two guards behind me.

"Keep a look out girl!" 

I nodded. He looked down as he saw the blood. He gripped the palm of my hand to look at the bloody and broken knuckles. He let out a huff as he tore off a stipe from his top and wrapped it around my knuckles so that the blood would not go anywhere.

 I then took out the map. After I turned my attention to the other cells. I soon found two sleeping beside each other in the next cell. They woke and looked at us with terror in their green eyes. I walked up to them and they kept away from me. I looked down and took their cuffs in my hands.

"What are your names?"

"Hansel." He said as I noticed his fiery red hair.

"Gretel." Said the girl next to him that looked almost identical. 

"Like the Fairy Tale?"

"Yeah. It was Mother's favourite one."

"Then let us get out of this gingerbread house."

They let out a silent laugh as we left the dungeons. With only one more to go.

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...
