Short Story

"Yeah and I snapped little miss' neck over there. So how bout you drop the little attitude, princess and answer." He snapped, a threat clear. The killer obviously had some kind of bipolar disorder in Arthur's expert opinion (which was none).

For once I felt the sudden need to be near other people, so I headed for the door quickly. The street was deserted. Strewn across the road were all my belongings. Why were they here and not in my cardboard box where I slept in Well Street? Who had done this? Were they thieves? Not that I had much to steal. I began gathering everything up. My blankets had been shredded. There were dents in things, bits pulled off other things and generally messed with. Even the things that used to be usefully were destroyed. Why would anyone even bother to do this? As I looked at my surroundings I began to feel a little disorientated. The ground seemed to move. Then I felt distinctly uneasy. Was he back? At a distance I thought I could see people so I hurried in their direction but they never seemed to get nearer. At once, I was then surrounded by them! No faces! They’ve got no faces! I closed my eyes and when I opened them the people were gone. I suddenly felt as if I was being watched. I glanced around furtively and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a lion! I screamed but it was gone. As I again looked around I thought I could see dozens of pairs of eyes behind every window staring at me malevolently. I turned and ran. Breathlessly, I re-entered the church and slammed the door behind me.

After staring at my hand for short time, something caught my eye. A flower! There was a bright blue flower with pink stripes, in the corner of the cave. I sprinted over, sitting down just before it. I reached out, touching one of the petals. A bright light blinded me, making me stumble back, landing on my hands. A red glittering line ran across the cave. It brightened the world. Making the sky blue again, the grass green, the trees alive, the water holes filled, and the animals healed. Shadow appeared out of the shadows of a corner.

I tried again, but to no avail, making me sigh inaudibly. A light laugh came from deeper what I now knew was a cave, as my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. I looked around, taking in my surroundings. To my left was the entrance and exit, to my right lead deeper into the cave. A dark brown fox walked out of the dark part, which I couldn’t see, and smiled shyly, showing oddly long and sharp fangs. “Don’t try and speak. When you first enter this world, you are given some kind of disability. The longer you stay here, the more it goes away.” I just nodded, making him smile a bit bigger. “My name’s Amante! I assume yours is something along the lines of starlight?” He turned around without waiting for a reply and sauntered into the dark, before coming back after a bit, with some sort of golden leaf. I gave him a questioning look, which he promptly ignored. I felt a growing feeling of unease as he came closer, and tried to get up, in order to back up, but ended up just falling back on my butt as a bullet of pain shot through one of my paws. I saw him sigh, and walk over to me faster, dropping the leaf in front of

“Ha, you don't think I can do a story about a princess, do ya?” Henry countered. “Well, be prepared to look foolish, Murray. Even more than you already do.”

Arthur let out a small smile at that and Leon took that as his cue to go. The longer they spent discussing this, he knew the more convincing Arthur's arguments would sound. He didn't want to be leaving the prince, not now after everything they had come through together. They were supposed to be finally getting the chance to work side by side and yet something had come and torn him away.

“I’ll have 6 eggs, a big glass of orange juice, a banana, and some oatmeal please” said DeSean “ You’re one crazy kid” said the female bartender at IHop. “Yes ma’am, I might be crazy ,but ready for football this morning” DeSean responded swiftly. The bartender responded almost immediately saying “Damn right, hope you do well this morning, I’ll have that food out real quick honey”. DeSean waited for less than 5 minutes before chowing down on over 1000 calories. He exchanged some words with the bartender and he was off to football.

"Don't be scared!" A voice called from behind the light. "I won't hurt you." I slowly crawled out from behind the pipes, and cautiously edged towards the human. He let me sniff his hand, and carefully picked me up. "There you go. Let's get you home." I tried to watch where he was taking me, but after hours of wandering, exhaustion took over, and I fell asleep.

One early morning it was bright and sunny, i am lost i must have slept walked a little too far last night. By the way I am Isabelle the goat and i’m the runt of my herd which involves 5 of us there is 3 girls and 2 boy’s that is including me.

“We need you for war. We are in war with Baywynne and it’s not going good. The king wants to use you as our special weapon.”

“No? Have it your way. I doubt they’re greedy—that honor thing again. Something in which I once believed—honor not the Warrior’s path. Killing I learned from our master. They won’t be easily corrupted. Our master will need to find another way to make use of them.”

"Quiet boy!" I said. Bear jumped off the bed and ran from the room. I could hear him scratching and pawing at the front door. Throwing off my covers, I started to follow but dad ordered me back to bed. "It's probably nothing" he said "I'll check it out and be right back". I sat on my bed and listened, but now I didn't hear anything at all. Not Bear, not Dad, nothing what was going on out there? When I couldn't

Merlin walked into the abandoned bedchamber. Once again, Melancholy dampened his spirits. He sighed and looked around the area. Sunbeams streaked through the open windows. The bed linens lay in a carefully folded pile on the bed. The chamber pot lay emptied and surprisingly clean by the bed's side. Despite the slight chill in the air, its freshness tickled his nose.

“Well, I hope I at least may be excluded from this picture you’ve painted. Not every baron or knight is a villain. It would say very little for your lofty vision of mankind.”

"Time to intervene ." Elizabeth picked up the ends of her dress sweeping into the room. " Do you two plan to fight like a married couple, or solve the crisis our Kingdoms face?"
