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
Ella reached the entrance of the hotel .The first step she too through the doors were stopped by an invisible force.She wished she did not wonder so hard when and where.She bumped her head into the glass and cursed at her stupidity for thinking it was some magical force holding her back.Jon slid the door open, just a crack for her to slip in."Why are the doors closed?" Ella asked. It was still daylight." The doors are closed for safety reasons. There was a huge troll earlier on, swinging his club around , looking for you I assume." Jon smirked a little." Wow. A troll. That's something I haven't seen before. Do you think I should go out or just wait here for him to come to me?" Ella asked sarcastically." That's not the last of it. There has been so many mythical creatures surfacing, it reminds me of that awful day many many years ago." Jon blinked his tears away."Ella it's time you get caught, before this town is left in shambles. They will not stop until they get you. "" Alr
"Over my dead body!" Ella wanted to scream but it just spilled out of her like a glass of milk, COLD!"Exactly the point my dear. Over your dead body. I don't even care about the high witch and her power or her stupid potion. She just gave me the perfect host. I will kill you here and now if I have to." The shape shifter spat out venomously." Wow . You really are determined to have my life. You think it's so easy being me?" Ella teased. Ella knew she had to toy with the snake in front of her until she let her guard down." What's there to dislike. I watched you this morning, kill a chubby fairy. You tricked a goblin and a witch. You do have a good brain up in that head, so definitely you don't have much trouble, except the witch that wants your blood." The shape shifter continued forking noodles into her mouth.Ella could sense that she was starting to be less guarded and a little more pushing would leave her wide open for attack." Do you really think I'm that innocent? My thoughts
