"Come quickly." Jon grabbed Ella's arm and led her up the stairs."Jon? You? Here? Now? Why are you helping me? " Ella looked confused as he led her to her new suite."Your father is a very clever man. He has eyes and ears everywhere. Do you really think her would send you here all alone?" Ella was amused by his words. "Why didn't he just tell me?" Ella was now serious."Because child. He knows you wanted to do this on your own. But he had to make sure that you were alright. We are just merely here to make sure your stay here is as smooth as possible. Your mission is completed and you are back safe and sound." Jon rubbed her back as he showed her around her new suite."I know it's rather small but I assure you, it has everything you need." Jon opened the closet. There was an entire winter, spring and summer collection filling the closet from end to end with every matching shoe Ella could think off. " There will be a security guard posted outside your door twenty four hours a day and
Ella lay in her bed, pretending to sleep. She heard a tap on her window. It was subtle but rapid. She slowly tip toed out of her bed and drew her curtain slightly.Fluttering against her window was the most cutest little thing ever. He was green with pointy shoes and pointy ears. A small round face and a chubby belly. With each flutter of his wings, a shimmering glitter fell onto her window sill.Ella smiled at such a sight, for she knew it had now begun.She slowly opened her window and let him in.He wizzed around her head , finally taking a seat on her right shoulder.Ella was aware that he could be a pixie or goblin in disguise so she slowly dusted him off and placed him on the bed."What do I owe the honour to? To have such a beautiful creature in my room. Am I dreaming?" Ella pinched herself and squealed in pain."Hi. Ella. This is not a dream. I am Willy. The friendly fairy. I am attracted to sweetness and love. My fairy wings had led me here." He fluttered his wings and smile
Ella opened the door, her jaw dropped open and soon enough, she was pinned onto the floor.A large goblin with a pointy nose and chin stared into her eyes.He laughed loudly," looks like I win the prize."Ella wondered what he was talking about when a witch flying on a broom wizzed by and whacked him on the tush. The goblin rolled over and landed flat against the wall."Oh no. You don't!" The witch stood next to Ella when was still on the floor.Ella looked at her black outfit, it was kind of a goth look. Although her body was slim and her hair so radiant, her face was a picture of all things wrong.It was shrivelled and large warts appeared on her nose and cheeks.Ella was disgusted when she looked at her curled brown nails.She didn't know what to expect.Ella felt her hair being tugged, the witch had now bent down and started to drag her towards the door. Ella looked at the guard passed out. His body was half on the floor and half on the chair, upside down and unconscious with dro
" And you?"The witch rolled her eyes." I want the power potion. I am tired of being trampled by all the witches who are bigger than me, stronger than me and more powerful than me." "Aha. So you want love and you want power!" Ella mused." Both of you sound kind of desperate and shallow. To be honest.""I know. But you don't know what it's like to be this puny. To go unnoticed. To be taken for granted. To be hurt and trampled on and still expected to be smiling." The witch placed the bowl on the tray." All because of your size, of your family, of your looks. If I had power I could change my appearance, change my status, change the entire way they think.""Seems like you two have clan issues." Ella bit a piece of bacon." To be honest. I know how u feel."" You are just saying that to trick us to let you go." The witch tapped her foot on the floor."Actually. If you think that I am doing just that then dual. The winner gets me. I will come without resistance. And then you can get your p
The room began to spin and Ella held on to her bed.The spinning made her dizzy and she closed her eyes tightly together until she felt the air become , cleaner and fresh. The whispers of the wind on her cheek made her draw in a deep breath of morning dew.She opened her eyes to the majestic view that lay ahead.She was out in the forest. The only thing that came from her room was the bed she was still sitting on.Ella pinched her arm twice to make sure she was not dreaming and definitely not dead.The cooing of the exotic birds filled her ears and the honey suckle and wild berries filled her nostrils as she sat up taking in deep breaths.The colourful plants and large trees blocked out most of the sun, but where the rays of sunshine broke through the leaves , sparkled like glitter.Ella's eyes had adjusted to the new lighting but the goblin was still struggling to adjust."This is cheating he shouted. She knew that this us my weakness. I can't see in such bright light." The goblin mo
Charging towards her at a progressive speed, the goblin pushed out his arms, clawing at the witches stomach.She wailed in pain as she beat down on his back.Ella sat wide eyed , it was hard to say who was going to win. They both had strength and stamina. Although the goblin was much shorter, what he lacked in height, he made up in width.Blood and flesh covered the floors, and when it was all over, no one was standing. Both goblin and witch , were out for the count and Ella smiled to herself.She couldn't believe that Jon had underestimated her wit.As they moaned and grovelled on the floor, Ella picked up the phone.A few minutes later, Jon walked in with a few people. They bagged the witch and the goblin and cleaned up the floor.Ella smiled in content. It was was if nothing had ever happened."Where are all the interesting ones?" Ella laughed loudly." I want something that will make me feel like a damsel in distress.""Don't wish something like that Ella. The high witch won't let
Ella smiled to herself and walked further down the street just far enough not to be seen but near enough to see what was happening.As Ella hid at the side of an abandoned building, she watched the police with their search dogs.The dogs sniffed around until one stopped at the swing. Ella smiled to herself, her plan was working, she had totally forgotten about the blood moon until she felt hot breath on her neck.She turned around and looked at the horrifying Minotaur. His curled horns protruded out of his head like two dirty twigs.His red eyes and hairy face made her gasp and shiver. This was the first time she had seen a Minotaur in real life. In fact all the mythical creatures she has seen so far, only existed in books or in her imagination.He pinned her to the wall and squeezed her neck slowly watching her gasp for air while he laughed evilly." Little girl. You are now mine. I will take you to the high witch and get my beautiful reward." The Minotaur roared.Ella clawed at his
"What is the commotion?" Captain Wilds walked up to the femal officer who was staring at the body of the Minotaur. "Urghhhh. What is this? There is a lot of weird things happening around here these days. It's as if the gates of hell had been opened in Salt Rock." Ella held her breath, she did not need the attention drawn to her. She peeped from around the building as Captain Wilds took the officers baton and poked at the lifeless body."Do we call forensics? The local mortuary or the animal rescue organization to collect this body?" The policewomen asked." That's a good question." Captain Wilds played with his beard." IL call the morgue to collect. It is mostly human." She took out her cellphone and dialed the number.As they all stared at the body, it began to excrete smoke. They stepped away and within a few minutes the body had completely disappeared.They were creeped out, shivering and shaking they walked back to the vehicles."Nothing much to say." The female officer disconn
