Scar The Journey Home Part Seven

 Arrival At The Door


They walked and walked, yet as they did, they noticed a small figure following them. Just thinking that it was a coincidence and it was someone walking in their direction, they ignored this and walked on and on. However, Scar could sense that figure meant danger. She just could not place as to why as she knew it was not a rational feeling. Yet she just could not ignore it and she had to address it. However, she just did not know how.

So she did not do anything more than look over her shoulder to check upon it. Yet she saw it coming closer and closer. She saw it getting bigger and bigger. She turned back for a moment as they walked on and on. Then, the moment they turned a corner and walked on and on a bit and still saw the figure, she knew the figure was after them. Then she saw the silver and gold crown on his head.

“Run!” She finally shouted.

They looked back to see the king running towards them. Beatrice and Britannia broke out into a run as Morana and Detective Smith turned back to see the mad king in silver and gold with a highly but impractically decorated silver and gold sword in his hand. He cried out like a drunkard.

“Protect our girls! It’s me he’s after!”

He opened his mouth to speak but she kissed him.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let him get me.”

His eyebrows knitted together. Yet that was when Scar felt a blade at her throat!

“Now, don’t make promises that you know that you can’t keep, my dear lady.” Spoke an oily voice.

They all looked at him in shock, yet Morana looked slightly annoyed.

“Oh my dear lady, you are of such beauty that I must have you! I must!”

That was when Detective Smith stepped forward.

“She’s my wife! You can’t!”

“Don’t tell me what I can’t do! Not after all that you have stolen from me.”

“I have not-”

“Oh don’t lie to me! Your daughter has my sword and I know that one of you is a magic user. If not you then it’s one of your little daughters!”

At this, Morana started to look angry. Yet she kept calm.

“And I want that strange crossbow you have with those strange arrows!”

At this Scar pulled her gun out and shot his foot. Then he dropped that blade and she was able to spin out and drove her leg into his throat as hard and fast as she could. He collided with the ground and his temple hit a rock. She looked at her body and at the unconscious man.

I can’t believe that I did that! She thought as she turned around.

“I think we need to go on!”

They all nodded.

“How did you do that?”

“Are you secretly a bionic woman?”

“She’s thirteen. She’s too young.”

“Bionic girl then!”

“Sure.” She said as they traveled on and on and on and on.

Yet after three hours on foot Beatrice started to yawn.

“We need to sleep.”

“Yeah!”

Soon they set up camp, ate some food and slept. Early in the morning they woke up and ate a quick bite. Then they came to a rope bridge.

“Is it safe?”

“Never mind. We need to go across the bridge. Then climb that rock face.”

“Right.”

So Detective Smith took a step on the wood and noticed that it was very sturdy. So he put out his whole weight in it. Then he took the next step and the next step and then the next step and the next step and the next one and the next one. Soon he was across. The next one to go was Beatrice. She kept her eyes on her father as Scar could feel her heartbeat in her ear as she took step after step.

Please make it. Please make it.

She was soon on the other end in the arms of her father. Then Britannia took a step onto it. Then she took another step and another and another. Yet the moment that she looked down she let out a scream and she collapsed onto her knees.

“Brit! Brit!”

“No, no, no, no, no. I can’t do this! I can’t do this!”

“Britannia!”

Her wild eyes looked up.

“Get up!”

“No! It’s too high up!”

“No. Look at me and get up. Your mum will need to go next and she can’t go unless you do.”

She looked at her and nodded as she did for a moment, only for her to collapse to her shaky legs.

“Stop looking down! Keep looking at you father!”

She nodded.

“You can do this. Say it!”

“I-I can do this.”

“Now say it as if you believe it!”

“I, can, do this!”

She was soon on her legs. She turned and kept saying it until she was across. Then Morana was able to go across quickly. That was when Scar felt the sense of danger return to her. She quickly ran to the other end. She turned back to see the king. She then willed the bridge to fall and just as he stepped onto it, the ropes snapped and he fell.

“Good work!”

“What are you?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

Soon they turned to the wall and soon climbed up it and the room was there. Scar pulled out the key and opened the door. Soon, they were back in her attic.

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...

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...

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...

The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Thirteen

 The Army Against The Last  Loc had a light nap before waking up to see the fakegels, a name she had come up with after the fight and handed the second borns over to the rest of the first borns. She could see the men also taking a light nap, just like she was. Yet she knew that she did not have time to wake them. So she pulled out her sword as she could not be bothered to get Rock and Stone. There was no time. She ran on and on. To her relief she did not see a line this time but she did hear shouting in the homes of mainly women and some arguing men. Don’t focus upon that. Not when I have a fight to win. She turned to see them all in the air. The first thing she did was push the fire out from under her feet and dropped onto the back of the first one. She blasted the left wing then stabbed down. She ran on and dived to another and did the same. She then dived to the next one and did the same again and again. Making sure to keep up the pace and not let up once. Until she was sna...

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...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Three

 Heat Doormaze and Burn were almost drenched in sweat. Yet as far as they have traveled they had not seen a single drop of safe water! Yet they could see that Coalmine was a lot less affected than they were. Must be due to her dragon side… That was when her mind turned over the dream that she had when Dark Curse and Dark Destiny discussed turning her into a dragon. Maybe it won’t be a bad idea after all. Maybe if I was a dragon then this heat will not be so insufferable. ‘Insufferable’? Ahh! Suddenly she could feel the heat of her body becoming hotter and hotter and hotter. Her mouth felt dry yet she could feel it getting dryer and dryer. She tried to keep her mouth closed to keep in as much moisture as possible. But her lungs demanded more air forcing her to open her mouth and this caused her mouth to become dryer and dryer. Soon her tongue looked like a pink desert. Yet this dryness traveled on further and soon her throat became as dry as her tongue making her cough and cough. He...

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...
