Chapter 3 part 2!=Demon!

"Maria?" said Darren.

"I'm scared." she said, sharing the same feeling with her older brother.

Anna felt a tear run down her cheek and she whiped it away straight away.

"What's going on? Demons aren't real!" said Michel a bit too loud for Darrens liking.

"Shut up." he hissed back.

"If you dont believe in Demons you soon will. Now be patient. The Demon isnt leaving yet."

All 5 children walked over to the door and listened.

"The tunnels?"

"Yep. Sounds like it."

~*~*~*~*~*

"Look Lady! I'm not exactly giving you a choice here! Now either you bring the children down or I'll go and get them my self!"

"Please! Please!Plea-hehe-hease!!!" Aunt Fanny pleaded with the Demon but his heart-if there was one- was as dark and black and small as a shrivelled, burned bug.
~*~*~*~*~*

The 5 were now half way down the secret stairs. They were going quietly. Maria had let her brother carry something. And her cousin, Ashley was holding Annas hand to try and make her feel safer.

They got to the bottom. there was a door infront of them.

"Where does this lead?" asked Michel getting angry and slightly scared.

"The invisible room." replied Darren. Anna stared her eyes and mouth wide with amazement. Ashley and Michel laughed and said no such things exist.

But then when they entered a glass room that was in the kitchen and facing the hallway, they gasped with surprise. This hadnt been here before and it was obvious that they could not be seen.

But they ignored all this now, for infront of them stood a tall, well built man. He slapped Aunt Fanny around the face. She fell to the floor and wept.

Then he turned. His face looked human. He had dark brown hair and his face wasn't scared or bruised or showed any signs of any sort of battle.

The one disturbing image was his eyes. They were completely black. No white. Just a large pupil that instead of being the centre of his eye it was his whole eye.

And it was colourless apartfrom a slight red blended in, making his eyes look like a black and red marble.

Anna had had enough. She burried her face in Darrens stomach and cryed. Her brother put his arm on her and told her that everything will be ok.

"Cry. Let it all out. Let it all out now and you'll be ok later." he said calmly and smiled at her as she looked into his eyes. Now she was reasured and cryed to let all the fear and shock out of her system.

Then the Demon, dressed in pure red started up the stairs. Aunt Fanny screamed and yelled at him to leave her children alone, to take her instead and that her husband will not let him get away with this.

But the Demon just ignored her. And climbed the stairs and made his way to the girls room first. Soon as they would be less hassle and he could use them to threaten Darren.

So then? what do they do now? This Demon is about to find out that they aren't there. And what about Aunt Fanny? save her? leave her? Remember the Demon doesn't want her....but he could use her for bribary. Also dont forget that there are lots of other secret passageways in the house.

I think, being children, they would try and save her. When they grow up they'll realise that saving yourself is far more important.

Save Fanny, then find a secret passage that leads out into the neighbour's garden, from which they can make thier escape.

It wouldn't be a very long story if all the children died then and there would it, so I think they should escape. :biggrin:

Chapte4 part one= Rescue.

The Demon went up the stairs.

"What will he do when he finds we aren't there?" sobbed Anna.

"Come down and take mum, most likely." replied Alex thinking hard.

Maria stepped out of the invisible room so that her mum could see her.

"Maria." she whispered.

"Mum come on." Maria whispered back.

"He''l find us in there. He's not stupid. Invisible rooms are common in the Worlds of Magic."

"We can escape through the tunnel behind the cooker. It leads to the garden. Quick!"

All the kids and Aunt Fanny ran into the kitchen as quietly as they could and pulled the oven back. Alex opened a small portal in the wall and they all stepped through.

"Hurry! He'll find his way after us in no time!" said Maria.

"I never knew this was here!" said Aunt Fanny.

"Mum? Remember that time I kinda ran away?" said Maria slowly.

"Yes?"

"This is where she hid!" Laughed Alex.

"You knew where she was?"

"Mum, she had an exelent reason to run away."

Aunt Fanny gave them both a funny look as they ran down the tunnel following one after the other.


"How long is this tunnel?" asked Anna now getting sort of used to the whole Demon thing.

"Almost there."

"Then where do we go?" asked Michel.

Everyone thought for a while.

"The bomb shelter!!!" said Anna delighted that she is actually going to be some help in this thing.

"The bomb shelter." repeated Maria aprovingly.

"Yes. There we have a phone to contact your dad." said Fanny.

"Mummy?"

"Yes?"

"Where is Daddy?"

"I don't know sweat heart. I don't know."

Then there was a pause. They came to a door which was opened by Alex and they all stepped through. They found them selves in a large room with metal walls and not much furniture. There were two beds and a shelf along with a fridge.

They sat on the beds in silence.

The silence was broken by Michel. "I want to go home."

"We will take you home and leave Anna with you. Then we have to do something about this demon."

"No. I want to stay with you."

"We'll see. And if you change your mind........"

They rang Uncle Dick and told him all that had happened. He said to go to the Village square at Midnight and meet him there. But first they had to take the two who were not involved back to their parents.

"Dad says that the Demon should not follow us. He'll be back later. But he'll be angry."

Chapter 5= Save the ones you can!

Everyone sneacked out of their hiding place. They all ran as fast as they could to the front of the house and got in the car. Aunt Fanny got in the drivers seat and she drove as fast as she could untill she reached her sisters house.

Her sister lived in a small flat in the middle of town. So the two boys were alwyas exited to stay with their cousins in their big house and lovely garden.

The twins got out of the car and ran upto their mum who was waiting outside for them. How did she know they were coming?

"Mum! mum!! You should have seen him! you should have seen what we did!"

"Hello sweethearts. Off to bed both of you. Quick chop!" she smiled.

"But muuum!"

"No 'buts'! Bed now!" she said sternly and they obbayed.

"Thank you Fanny. Thank you for keeping the out of this mess. If there is anything you need. Anything at all, you know where to find me."

"It's O.K., Hellen. IF Jasmine phones.....please tell her we're in trouble. Tell her she might be involved. And tell her that no matter what happens, she has to keep herself safe!"

"I will. Dont worry." replied her sister and Aunt Fanny got back in the car, everyone waved goodbye and they drove off.

"Where are we going now?" asked Maria.

"Home." said Fanny. "The garden will be the safest place for us. Darren have you made sure that the tunnells are all secure and the spells are still fresh?"

"Refreshed them every week!" he said in a cheerful voice to make Anna feel better.

Back to their house they drove. They got out of the car and ran to the bottom of the garden. They hid in the shelter again.

"We can hide here for now." said Fanny.

"But for how long mum? He will find us. Tracking spells are old fashioned and easy now! We can run and hide.....but for how long?" said Darren

"Will we have to fight?" asked Anna in a small voice.

"I'm afraid so. But dont worry. You'll be fine. It's what we have Darren for." smiled Maria. And Anna smiled at Darren questioningly.

"I won't let anything happen to you." he promised and hugged his little sister.

Then the phone ran. Fanny answered it.

"who is it mum?"

Chapter 6= The Monkeyfish Demon!

Aunt Fanny was silent on the phone. She listened and as the speaker on the other end of the line gave her instructions her face went more pale by the second!

Eventually she put the mouthpiece of the phone back in it's place and turned to face her three children who were staring at her questioningly.

"Mum?" asked Darren worrying.

"It was Monkish."

"Who?" asked all three children, Maria and Darren in disbeliefe but Anna with confusion.

"Monkish." aunt Fanny repeated.

"What does he want?" said Maria scornfully.

"We are going to meet him in the village square at midnight tonight."

"Mum are you sure?" asked Darren, not wanting to go.

"If we don't he will kill your father." she said simply and started to pick up her things and get ready to go.

"Hurry," she said, "we have five minutes to get there!"

Chapter 7= DAD!

At one minute to midnight Aunt Fanny, Maria, Anna and Darren were at the village square. They stood in the middle of a road that ran between a church and a playground. Nearby was a small kiosk that would not have been visible if it wasn't for the lamp post right next to it.

There was nobody else there. Nobody, nowhere to be seen. Anna was about to ask something when a swing in the playground creaked. From behind it a man stepped out into the light of another street lamp. He walked hurriedly over to them.

"Dad!" screamed Anna and ran towards her father. He spread his arms out and welcomed his daughter with a smile.

"And what do you think you're doing here? Shouldn't you be in bed?" he laughed and she smiled back.

Aunt Fanny ran to him, "what's going on?" she asked impatiently.

"Monkish is on his way." he said in a voice so quiet that Anna could not even hear him properly. "I'm his slave under a magical contract."

"Kids can you give us a minute?" asked Fanny and her children stood by the kiosk waiting to be called back.

"Why the hell would you sign such a thing? You can't get out of this! It's a magical bloody contract!"

"They threatened me."

"Don't be a wimp! Besides what could be worse than this?"

"Losing you." Uncle Dick lowered his eyes with sadness. Aunt Fanny looked away with shame.

"What does he want?"

"Maria."

"What?"

"He wants Maria. Fanny, you need to know something about our daughter that even I didn't know until a few minutes ago."

"What's that?"

"She has been chosen to become The Queen of Magic. Both good and evil have agreed to this. But, she can pick a side to work on. She can either serve good or serve evil. But she cannot keep out of it. Now, every tribe of magical creature wants her. Having her on their side makes them superior."

"Does this include the Black Masters?"

"Yes."

This was a serious matter. The Monkish tribe was the least of their worries. The two parents explained the situation to their children as nicely as possible. And they understood. They made clear of what they had to do to protect themselves and especially Maria.

All of a sudden a figure appeared in front of them. It was a....a thing. It was about 6foot tall and had a body of a monkey but a head of a fish.

"Hello." He said and shot a beam of yellow energy at the family.

Maria suddenly reached into her powers and created a force field that blocked the shot. Dick moved over to the side and took no part because he was not allowed to go against Monkish as long as he didn't have to kill his own family.

Fanny shot out a beam of blue energy towards the Monkish. He blocked it with a yellow force field. Darren lifted his arms up above his head and crossed them at the wrists, then he brought them down with great force and speed and transformed into a completely different person. He wore black armor and held a black gun; he had a black shield- with a flame painted onto it - on his back. As well as that he had a sword in a case that was strapped to his belt.

Anna stood there petrified thinking of what her power was. She had never used magic before, what does she do?

Nothing, just stands there as the Monfish Warrior destroys her family, and then takes Maria captive before converting her to the side of Evil, from whence she can truely become the Queen of Magic.

And besides - you think Evil would sign an agreement, and actually stick to it?

It's a magical agreement. As soon as one side brakes the deal the agreement is destroyed.

So if they make him kill his family he will then be free to take revenge.

But if he wanted to run free then he would have to kill his family.

Lordy, you seem to like watching poor helpless people suffer don't you? lol.
