Haunted Woods
In the deep woods, there was a castle known as
Loe Hill Castle. Why the castle had a name? Well, the story is fairly simple:
in it used to live a family of wizard Gelerts called the Loe family. The castle
was built centuries ago on the highest hill in the area. So, it had been dubbed
"Loe Hill Castle".
Now, only the youngest member of the Loe family
had her residence there. She was a bright red Gelert, all except for her belly,
which had only white fur. Her name was Sofrona Loe, but to the neighbours, she
was known as Sofie Goody Two-Shoes. The fact was, Sofie was too nice! She had
her morbid side, but she couldn't stand doing bad things. "Just like her grandmother,"
people said.
This night, Sofie, dressed in her usual black
cloak and black pointy hat, was with her nose deep in an Alchemy book. Not even
looking what she was doing, she was pouring a cyan potion into a neon green
one. It puffed and turned dark blue.
"Perfect!" Sofie said excitedly. "You'd be proud
of me, Nana!" she addressed a photo with cobweb-like frame.
The photo was of a grey Gelert dressed in gypsy
clothes. She was leaning over a crystal ball, and seemed to glare at whoever
looked at the picture. Sofie enjoyed the picture as much as she liked her grandmother.
Her grandmother had raised her in the spirit of witchcraft and somewhere along
the way taught her grandchild shape shifting.
Of course, Sofie still needed to master these
to arts, since she was barely a teenager.
Putting the book down, she stretched and looked
at the clock. The pendulum's ticking was hypnotic and made Sofie sleepy. It
was already past midnight and she hadn't slept. She gathered the books in a
neat stack.
A Spyder was hanging, with the help of his web,
above Sofie's head. Seeing as Sofie was a tad arachnophobic, she let out a short
scream, grabbed her Alchemy book and raised it defensively.
The Spyder clicked furiously at her. She just
couldn't kill it like this - she was too nice.
"Sh-shoo, little Spyder..." she said with a
trembling voice.
Did she lock her door? She couldn't remember.
But she wasn't going to go downstairs now. It was late and she was sleepy. Returning
to her room, she took off her cloak and hat, placed them on a chair, and jumped
into bed, for a well-earned sleep.
Outside
A cackling sound came from a shadow that didn't
even seem to touch the ground. It crawled from bush to bush. It stopped for
a second, floated upright in front of a door, it's red eyes gleaming with success.
The door wasn't locked. It's cackle turned to diabolical laughter as he crept
inside the Loe Hill Castle.
Sofie's Room
Sofie yawned sleepily and turned to her other
side. Through her eyelashes she could see something creeping in her room from
under the door. She spun awake, muttering some magic words while pointing at
a candle. The candle lit and she grabbed it, jumping out of bed. She looked
around the room. Sighing, relieved, she put the candle on the table next to
the bad and turned towards the warm sheets. Shock and horror spread across her
face as she realised that, on the other side of her bed, Count von Roo glared
menacingly at her.
She released a horrified scream.
"Stay away!" she hollered, grabbing a chair.
"Oh, look, the goody two-shoes witch is scared
by the big bad vampire!" the Blumaroo seemingly floated over the bad, licking
his lips. Sofie got glimpse of his fangs and right now felt her feet were made
of melted wax.
She swiftly threw the chair at von Roo, who
dodged it and still was coming towards Sofie.
However, help can come from the most unexpected
places. When von Roo dodged the chair, it hit the wall, where a Spyder was making
it's web. The Spyder, clicking annoyed, decided he wanted revenge. Climbing
on the ceiling, he let himself go down with only a strand of his web to sustain
him.
The Spyder was in between Sofie and von Roo.
At the sight of him, von Roo's eyes widened. Alerted, he took several steps
back, while Sofie was covering her eyes in terror. The Spyder dropped on the
floor, crawling towards von Roo.
"STAY AWAY!" the vampire Blumaroo yelled, jumping
like a scared little Kacheek.
Sofie blinked. Von Roo? Arachnophobic? She pulled
up a chair and watched the spectacle, amused. After fifteen minutes of this,
von Roo jumped on the window frame and gave Sofie an "I'll get you next time"
glare and jumped out.
She dashed towards the window to see him, but
only a solitary bat could be seen.
She returned and grinned at the Spyder. Picking
it up on the back of her paw, she petted it softly.
"Thanks a lot," she said "What's your name anyway?"
she asked, putting him on her bed and sitting next to him.
The Spyder clicked.
"You don't have a name? Well... how about you'd
be my pet?" Sofie suggested. "Then I'd give you a name!"
The Spyder shrugged.
"All right then. I'll name you... Alchemy!"
Sofie picked Alchemy up and placed him on the
extra pillow she had. The Spyder went to sleep right away, snoring in stereotype
to prove it.
Sofie set her head on the pillow, drifting to
sleep.
The End
Author Note: Sofrona is an actual pet I have in a long-abandoned account (because
I clicked on the wrong age and the "parent permission" thingy annoys the heck
out of me). This story came to me while thinking "Wow, Sofrona would sure look
nice as a witch!", so I started RPing her as one. She currently may not have a
Spyder named Alchemy, but hey! I'm flat broke, have mercy!
