Chapter 25: Chapter 24: |Leave My Family Alone!|
When, I got there everything was dyed in red.
An indication of a serious battle was clearly visible, through the splatters of blood still wet on the ground. And, the various colors of the magic dust that floated on the sky that was painted by the crimson sunset.
The ground surface was already gouged. And, The clouds seemed to have descended from above causing the surrounding to be foggy and extremely blinding.
The trees were scattered with black threads and sharp ice spears. And, Their barks had become slanting as though they had struggled to keep their roots on the ground, having contracted with the powerful magic exerted by the so-called fairies in the question..
After huffing and puffing for breath for a few seconds, I paused and scanned the situation around me.
Powerful magic.. pff...
With an extremely strong..pff.. mana, I can sense them!
My breath become more deeper as more panicking thoughts flowed on my mind.
Could it be that..the Royal Page.. was actually right?
Could it be the ones, I am up against are really the fairies.
Damn... It would be too messed up, if it were them.
Everyone knows, they are the most strongest beings in the entire Fiction World. And, Their Queen!
I've heard the new Fairy Queen was only coroneted before a few days from now.. But.. This is her first move!?
She can't be aiming for an invasion, Could she..?
No-no-no , that's not possible.
Because then.. why did they only attack a part of the capital and few other places. And none of the fairy's armed forces were even visible there?
I bit my lips in thinking with my eyes still scanning from my family...
And.. My mother and Cinderella...?
Could it be....?
Aaah, A diversion!
Yes.. Yes.. Oh course!
It is very difficult to bring back the kidnapped Cinderella into our country, for whatever reason they want to, as we have tough search parties every where considering how the certain heroine had attracted the attention, of Prince Julian Charming, the son of the emperor of Fairytale.
And, so it is almost impossible to be seen with Cinderella.
But, If there was a serious attack at the same time, when Cinderella's bought back simulatanously.. Our importance would obviously be shifted to protecting our country and not, saving the heroine!
Yes.. That makes sense so.. Does that mean.. The attack of the dragon in the market was just a practice decoy too..?!
I wiped the sweat of my upper lips.
Damn! Everything was planned perfectly right from the beginning...
But, the question is.. Why Cinderella? Why must they kidnap Cinderella and even set up me for the prison..?
Aww! I rubbed my red hair violently. And, why was I so dumb to along with it!?
I thought and looked around still searching for my family when my eyes suddenly widened seeing the terrifying enemies, I was against.
It-It's them..? T-They are the one, I am up against!
My heart beat ferociously. Cold sweat rolled down my chin as their figures become more closer as I rush towards them.
I was right.
My lungs panted for breath.
It were the fairies.
But, what I didn't expect was it to the exact same fairies who had already lived in Fairytale, the same fairies who I adored a lot when I read their story from my Grim Tale book..
I gulped at the terrifying sight that laid before flickering my panicking doe eyes.
They were them, my precious idols..
Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.
The Godmothers of princess Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty.
The Godmothers of princess Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty The Three Fairy godmothers of the precious heroine who had granted Aurora, her beauty, her lovely voice and the power that would change Maleficent's curse by promoting a lovely fairytalistic ending with true love's kiss.
I remember, the time I once went out in the snow to look for them.
It was one random day, when I had scrolled upon the pages of the story, The Sleeping Beauty.
My eyes has glistened with excitement then at how they were able to gift the baby heroine with the beauty, melodious voice and the spell break the curse with a true love's kiss.
Her fate! Her line of destiny. Yes, they were the fairies who were capable of twisting the destiny of Princess Aurora.
And, as a child, It was a dream to meet or encounter one of them. To change my ugly looks, my miserable singing voice and my cursed fate of not having a happy ending.
It was a cold winter, then. But, as a 5 year old, I was least bothered by it until I returned back with an obvious failure of not finding them and instead gifted with a series chronic fever along with some good share of yelling from my mother for sneaking out the house without a single notice.
They were my idols, inspiration, The legends I thought would help me change my fate.
And, little did I then, know that they would soon become the fairies of destruction who would ruin my family..

"Ara-ra, darling, Why don't you be a nice little Nobel and tell me where the Weaver's wand is! "
asked The Hefty fairy in red, Flora, I recognized immediately when the moment, I pushed aside the bushes, I was hiding in.
She hissed arrogantly, pressing the neck of the victim woman, my mother trapped under, the clutches of her dangerous pointy nailed fingers.
"I. do. not. know. what. nonsense. you. are talking. about, So.. Will you please get off my house?" the victim squeaked.
"Do you think I will buy this ridiculous statement, Woman!? Our Great magnificent Queen's magical radar clearly shows this is where Weaver's Wand.. is located! I know, you must have hidden it in your mansion's treasury! So, spill the beans before you see, your precious daughters die before eyes!? "
"Mumma! Mmm.. mmm..."
Cinderella tried hard to scream from her muffled mouth. But, couldn't.. so she just shook violently and tried to get out of Ms Maryweather.
But unfortunately failed in the process.
"Please leave my mother, old lady-samma! I order you! Please... "
My precious sister Drizzella wailed making enormous tears flood from her eyes as another green fairy pulls her up by her dress and hushes.
"Hush my darling. Can't you see Red Old lady-samma is very busy now..? "
The green fairy, Fauna whispered softly plastering a pleasing smile and affectionately patted Little Drizzella's head.
"Don't dot, your victims Fauna! And, do not call me that!"
"Ah, dear! Ms Flora!.." Ms Fauna abruptly closed the ears of little Drizzella.. "That's no way you should talk to little children. You are setting a wrong example, darling. "
"...."
"Girls, girls.. "
Another fairy, who held the muffled and chained Cinderella with her entered the conversation.
"..You are literally wasting, the time. Can I kill Cinderella already? She is so annoying and she's useless anyway, now. And, wait.., who's the one who said Cinderella might be the owner of the most powerful wand in the entire Fiction World, just because she is the heroine...Bah, all she really had was an useless glass slipper."
Mind your words, grannies! Mind your words! It's because of that glass slipper that our fairytale runs. Do you know how important it is!?
"Um.. I think it is you, Maryweather who said so.. " added Fauna innocently.
"What? Are you insulting me and my flawless ideas.. ? I know, you had been very unenthusiastic of this mission from the beginning!?.. "
"N-No, dear no! Why should I? It's just that I really think we shouldn't be doing this mean stuff, as the good fairies.. "
"Ah, Fauna you are becoming weak! It's the Fairy Queen who had ordered us to do this, remember! And, anyone knows what would happen if we don't fulfil her demands.."
"I so, do not! Maryweather! It's just that... "
The two fairies continued bickering as Fairy Flora rolls her eyes and glared at my captured mother again.
My mother's neck was still caught in her clutches. I am positive it must be suffocating. But, I am still surprised that Ms Flora doesn't seem very annoyed by my mother turning a blind-eye to her threats. I guess, this is the reason I am not that bothered by the situation now, that I am witnessing what was happening around me.
Yeah, sure. My mother was bleeding and was caught in the clutches of a powerful fairy but yet her face showed no signs of fear. It was like her heart was still very strong. Just, like how she had said she used to be when she was still a young bright nobel.
I never noticed it before but.. My mother, the Step-Mother.. looks very beautiful...so bold, so brave like a "Lady" without a tiny amount of fear shadowing her. And, her attitude just then, almost made me understand why she was called as one of the strongest Mages in fairytale.
But, the thing that worried me the most was my little sister Drizzella and the innocent child, Cinderella. They were too young to see any of this! I know my mother could handle things on her own. But, my little sisters..
They can't.. I must stop them...
And, so before I knew it, My feet rushed towards the three most stupendous yet dreadful fairies of FairyTale and stood before them from the bush I was hiding in.
"L-Leave my family alone!" I yelled at my most passionate idols as surprise overtook their villainous faces.
