The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town The Doll Part Two

 Doll’s Game


“Who are you?”

The woman let out a child-like giggle.

“What? Don’t you recognise me? Oh, I’m disappointed! Especially with you Matty!”

“Alice!” Matilda screamed.

She let out another giggle.

“About time, Matty!”

Melinda looked at Matilda in confusion.

“What?”

Alice’s face dropped. 

“Please no! Don’t? Haven’t you had enough?”

“No. Not yet. Although I must admit I am really disappointed in you Melly! After all those times I watched over you in this past year. Yes! I followed you to the Magician, when Danté took you in, when you became Matty’s prisoner, when that doctor and nurse experimented on you, when you became the prisoner of the vampires, when you killed the clown, I saw all your nasty killings by your dark side even when they were putting you back together again and when you were plotting to kill that nasty, nasty Wendy Wonderlust, which I have to say congratulations!”

Her eyes widened.

“How!?”

“Oh? I thought that you were smarter than that!”

Melinda let out a huff. She was far too tired for this.

“Not what I meant. How are you-”

“Back human?”

She nodded.

“Oh! Well, you should have been more specific! Well I’m human ‘cause you won! Ding, dong the witch is dead! Ding, dong the witch is dead! The witch is dead! The witch is dead! Ding, dong the witch is dead! Ding, dong the witch is dead! Dead, dead, dead!” She sang clapping. “Oh, but Dorothy! You only killed one witch! For here in Oz there are two! There are two! One is killed, the other shows up! No ruby slippers or silver slippers, if you like the movie or book. Tell me, as it's been so long since I was human, have they adapted the other fourteen books yet?”

“‘Other forteen’? There are fifteen Oz books? I thought that there was only one!”

“Ohhh!”

That was when Jaden went to the doorknob. She went to pull it down but it would not budge! She pushed and pushed but it still did not budge a single inch! She looked at the gap in the door to see that it was locked! She went to pull the keys out only to notice that they were gone!

“Are you looking for something Jey, Jey?”

“Where are the keys?”

“What! These keys?” She sang, shaking them like a glass bell.

“How did you get those?”

She chuckled like a child.

“Silly Jey, Jey! I’m magic!” She sang, pulling a hair from her head and turning it in her fingertips. “See!”

“Let us out!” Snapped Melinda, with a warning and stern look in her eyes.

“Make me!”

“A, a, ahh! How about you play with me first? If you don’t I’ll magic them in a land far, far away! Then I’ll seal you all in here ‘n’ watch you starve. Unless you eat yourselves first!”

“No!”

“Ohh! It’s only hide ‘n’ seek? The one that I find last wins!”

“No! Mel, no! Please, no! That’s one of the ways she got me!”

“Shhh! Matty. Remember I have something that you do-ohn’t. Also I think that playing along is the only way out!”

“But-”

Melinda turned to Matilda with a warning look.

“Do you want to get out of here or not?”

“Yes, I do but-”

She turned to Alice.

“I accept.”

“Alright! Then I’ll count you hide!”

Knowing that they had no other option, they all got ready.

“Then get to the door. It’ll not be fair, where you are. After all, you are cutting off half of our hiding spots.” Melinda pointed out. 

“Alright! Good thinking. You know, you’re smarter than Matty, she thought that she could talk me out of it! And I must admit that I like that!”

She walked to the door and Melinda tried to use her fire against her, but suddenly the atmosphere became colder rather than hotter. She suddenly felt a pressure on her, blocking her powers like a plug.

“Oh! Silly Melly! You can’t use your powers yet! Not until this little game of ours is over!”

She, to cover her emotions, let out a sigh as she shrugged.

“Worth a try.”

“Alright. I’ll let it slide.” She said as she faced the door as Jaden ran to the kitchen to get a knife but she found the drawer was also sealed. She looked back to see that they were at this witch’s mercy.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”

The three split and Jaden ran into the front room and hid under the table. Meanwhile Melinda and Matilda ran to Melinda’s room. They looked out of the window to see nothing but a black void.

“So we have to count Danté out.”

“Seems so.”

“Right, Mel, you hide in the attic. I have a hunch I want to check out.”

She looked at her, feeling worried.

“But-”

“Do it now!” She snapped, harsher than she wanted to. 

She looked at her scared. She grabbed her hands. 

“Don’t die Mel. Promise me that you will not do anything that will get you killed!”

“As long as you don’t!”

She nodded as she ran to the trap door. She opened it and the ladders came down and raced up them. She pulled them up and hid among the clothes stored there.

Meanwhile, Melinda pulled open the wardrobe and slipped into it and closed it behind her.

Right. If I’m right, regardless of how easy it is to find me, she will go for the others first and save me until last. After all, if this is about isolating me, this would be the easiest way. Honestly, it’s quite genius.

Yet despite all of this, she felt her heartbeat rapidly and became as loud as a drum in her ear. She felt herself shaking. Which, at first, she passed off as fear. However the smile on her face told her otherwise. No it was completely contrary. Yet she knew that this feeling that she was experiencing was something between fear and excitement.

Why am I excited? No, I’m just afraid, that’s all. Why would I be afraid? I have fighting skills! Then it must be nerves.

She heard a scream. She snapped out of it and tried to open the wardrobe but something was jamming the door. She felt around the edge to feel that the gap between the door and the frame had been sealed together! 

So I can’t get out of here. Which must mean that once we all have hidden we can’t leave or hide anywhere else. That is until Alice has found us.

She let out a deep breath to calm herself down. Knowing that she had to save as much air as she could.

I want her to find me next. I hope that I am wrong about my theory. Truly, I am. I want her to find me first. So that I can face her. I want to fight her.

Why? Since when did I want to fight people like this? Is this the Alex side of me coming out? Or Malice? Or both? Either way, this new sensation is far more frightening than that witch. 

That was when she heard the footsteps of the witch. She closed her eyes as heard them coming closer and closer and closer. Then she felt her smiling twitching at the corners of her mouth.

Please, come closer, come closer!

Then the footsteps passed her room. She heard the sound of the ladders. This was followed by the second scream.

Finally, my turn.

She did not have to wait long.

“Found you!” She sang a moment later.

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!
