Doormaze Drage The Green Witch Part Three

 The Emerald Mansion 


It took the entire morning to get to the Emerald Mansion. It was as high as three mustard trees and as wide as two football fields. All of it was made of emerald. The centre had roof tiles and, at the corners, windows and bricks stuck out like towers had domed roofs. The double doors at the front had a pattern of a Venus fly trap and mistletoe. Weaving in and out of each other like snakes. At both ends were three rows of windows which were also made of emerald.

They walked up to it. In front of them was a set of door handles.

“Don’t touch those dear. The way is something else!”

Doormaze jumped like a cat as she looked at the plants. She looked close at the heads of the mistletoe and stroked the vines.

“Not there!”

She looked at the heads of the mistletoe.

“Not there.”

Then she looked at the Venus fly trap heads and spotted that there were hinges at the root of each head. So she pulled at them. Then the doors opened. Inside there was one main corridor and on both sides there were a dozen smaller corridors. All emerald.

“Now what?”

Burn looked up.

“Well, we could start with that!” She spoke as she pointed upward.

The three girls looked up. There they saw an olive green envelope dangling from the ceiling. Coalmine spread her wings and flew up to it. She soon returned with it and Doormaze opened it.


To the dozen isle,

To December’s original place,

Go to the tower

With numbers for a race.


“Oh goodie! A riddle!”

“Yeah and an easy on of that!”

“Explain!” Both Coalmine and Burn snapped.

“‘To the dozen isle’, the twelfth corridor.”

“‘To December’s original place’. Well decem is the number ten in Latin. So that must mean that December’s original place was the tenth month.”

“And ‘go to the tower with numbers for a race’ must mean the clock tower!”

So they all walked to the twelfth corridor.

“Well, do we go left or right?”

“Left.”

“Why?”

“It’s got evil associations and witches were known to be evil.”

“Oh.”

So they walked to the left and walked up the stairs to the tenth to the tenth floor. Then she saw several doors. The group checked each door until Burn spotted the one that she was looking for. Then they walked up the one that said Clock Tower. They were about to walk up the stairs when Doormaze felt her body seize up. Almost like it had been turned to stone. She tried to move but she could not. She tried to lift her foot, but it just would not budge! She tried to speak but even that seemed useless.

“Doormaze?” Coalmine asked, concerned.

She tried to look at her but not even her eyes moved!

She felt her heart racing as she felt claustrophobia sink in like the fangs of a snake. She was screaming inside but she could not let out a single sound. She could feel her head pounding as she felt like her body was no longer her’s.

“That’s because it’s not! It’s mine to do with whatever I want! After all, all who are under my curse are.”

What?

She felt ice be driven into her heart as she heard the cackling in her head.

“Did you really think that you’re the only ones that have tried to come here and kill me, eh, dear?”

Let me go! Let me go. Just let me go! Please!

“What? So that you can kill me? I don’t think so!” She sang in her head.

“No! I have you exactly where I want you and I’ll soon have your friends too.”

No!

She felt tears falling from her eyes.

“Doormaze? What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

She felt her powerlessness sink deeply into her core.

“No. She’s not.” Burn said as she looked into her eyes. “Look at the colour of her eyes. They’re the colour of when she’s upset and angry.”

She then reached out her hand and tried to pull it, but it would not move!

“She can’t move.”

Her eyes widened.

“What!”

“It must be the witch.”

“Then what do we do?”

“We have to go on.”

“Alone?”

“Then you go on. I will stay.”

“But-”

Then something hit Coalmine. She looked to the side to see a black panther. It roared as it looked at Doormaze with hunger in it’s eyes. Burn dived under the panther and it went to claw down at her but she punched the stomach. This did nothing. So she forced all her power on the stomach and willed it to break apart. She noticed that it did nothing. So she tried harder and harder again and again and again. Then the panther moaned as she went to strike her and took out a line of flesh out of her thigh. At that moment the stomach split. She rolled out of the way. Then the panther raced towards Coalmine and jumped. Fire flew at the oanterband eclipsed it.

When it landed it galloped at Coalmine again as flames ate away at it. It jumped again. She dived out of the way. But it clawed at her wings. She let out a grunt as she pulled out a knife. Sbe then drove it under the chin and into the brain. The panther clawed forward as she drove the dagger further and further up. Soon the panther curled over.

Coalmine picked Doormaze up.

“Come on!”

Soon they walked up the stairs.

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...
