Darkstache Week 2021 Day 1: A Pumpkin in the Shape of Human Agony

Summary: It’s the Lost Ones’ first Halloween season and Dark might already be falling too hard for this whole fatherhood thing.

A/N: *me looking frantically between two fic challenges, being sick and a busy schedule*

Host: Ink doesn’t have to do either of them.

Me: *glares at him and starts writing outlines*

Prompt: decorating/carving pumpkins

AU: superhero

Days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

~::~ 14 Years Ago ~::~

Dark might have gotten a bit over his head, a bit overzealous when selecting so many Lost Ones. He just wanted Bim to stop racing off, stop putting himself in danger.

But juggling six whole children who were a couple years shy of becoming all preteens at once had been a mistake. He should have spaced the ages out, should have been more specific.

However if some supernatural forces pressed him to give up even one of them, Dark would have fought tooth and nail to keep all of them.

He was standing in the backyard lawn of Manor, which was a mess with the guts of way more pumpkin that he had gotten, and was sipping on a coffee.

Arthur was holding an enchanted knife that was cursed to be unable to cut skin or human flesh and he was just slicing into pumpkins.

Kay was hiding behind Dark, “I don’t want him to touch my pumpkin.”

“Don’t tell him about yours and he won’t,” Dark warned the young boy.

Wilford was just standing close by as Arthur began tiring himself out and just concentrated on a single pumpkin. The madman was beaming down with pride at him, like a lion watching his cub hunting for the first time.

Finally, when the young author was either satisfied with his creations, or too tired to do anymore and gestured to it with pride, panting to try and get his breath back.

“Oooh,” Wilford smiled as he grabbed the pumpkin by the stem and turned it around a bit. “I like it.”

Kay fearfully ducked behind Dark’s legs, while the Entity looked at it. Wilford’s original face he’d sloppily carved into the pumpkin was a mess with cuts that Arthur had stabbed into the pumpkin. Half of the upper jaw looked like it was about to fall off, and the guts and seeds of both this pumpkin and countless others were all over it.

“It looks like a soul made of human suffering,” Dark told the young boy.

“Yes!” Arthur pumped his fist in victory.

“Nice!” Wilford held up a hand and the two high fived.

“And you’re certain that this is the design you want?” Dark asked the Author.

“Yeah, it’s ugly as fuck,” Author smiled proudly.

“Alright, let’s get a candle in there,” Dark sighed and reached down to pick up the full sized pumpkin.

There was a little bit of a standoff between Dark and Arthur. The boy mostly wanted to protect his creation from being destroyed, and Dark wanted to get out of the backyard. But he was able to take the pumpkin, place a magical bust of fire that would neither go out nor consume the gourd in fire. With one last enchantment to preserve it, it was placed with five other pumpkins that had been designed with equally small hands, but far less of a penchant for violence, and Author was forced to take a shower to get the aftermath of his rampage off of him.

After all the Lost Ones were clean, and with cider or hot chocolate in their hands, Dark just watched them out of the corner of his eye. They were watching some movie and not fighting for a change.

Wilford strolled in with his hands in his pockets and just smiled at Dark.

Dark looked at Wilford suspiciously for a bit. “What?”

“That was quite nice what you did for Artie,” Wilford smiled, walking over and placing a kiss on top of Dark’s head.

Dark made a dismissive scoff, “If the boy wants to have an utter travesty for a pumpkin, who am I to stop him?”

“Yes, but you didn’t have to display it on the front doorstep,” Wilford reminded, sitting on Dark’s desk.

“It was nothing,” Dark insisted.

“To him it was everything,” Wilford reminded. “He even went outside after his shower to check that it was still there.”

Dark looked away and at the children in the living room as Wilford smiled at him. He had a thousand words on his tongue of varying levels of admittance or denial. But in the end he made some dismissive sound and continued his paperwork for a bit longer. At least until Wilford convinced him to sit with him and the kids in the living room. Both Wil and Dark seated next to each other as they watched over their little family.

Malena from my story - Malena and Silvia

Awww my heart 😍

[storytime-with-seyshia]

Here is my first story on the blog. I wrote this during Mar to June 2020 when I was home during the pandemic.

Malena and Silvia

Chapter 1: The missing princess

There was once a fairy kingdom and it was very beautiful. It was surrounded by big green trees that protected it from the outside world. All the little fairy houses were very colourful and were painted with all the colours of the rainbow. The streets were the colour galaxy and had sparkles paved into them. The castle was big and pink, with big white doors that had pink handles. It had one tall tower in the middle and two smaller towers on each side. A handsome king and a beautiful queen lived in the castle.

One fateful day, the queen named Marian, gave birth to a beautiful baby princess named Malena. She had beautiful blue eyes and pretty purple hair. She wore a cute little pink dress. When the whole kingdom was celebrating and Malena was taking a nap in her crib, an evil pixie named Evilyn stole the little princess! Evilyn was an evil pixie with long black hair with a red streak across the centre, a black and red dress and dark brown eyes. She used to live with all the other pixies in Pixie land. But she was so evil that they banished her and she was left living all alone in a bog. The king, queen, and guards heard the baby crying. They ran upstairs as fast as they could. But, the princess was gone......

Chapter 2: Silvia

They looked for her for a very long time but, they had no luck. The princess was stuck in a little house on a bog with Evilyn for a long time. The house was on a giant Lilly pad, surrounded by water and other water plants. Growing up in the bog, the princess made a lot of friends like frogs, dragonflies, spiders, ladybugs, etc. The princess knew she was royal, except Evilyn kind of lied to her. She told Malena that she was her actual mother and they lived in a castle before. Then the king turned mad and banished them and took over the whole kingdom. When Malena first heard that story she didn’t know what her actual life was supposed to be like and she didn’t know that Evilyn wasn’t her actual mother. She believed everything that Evilyn told her.

One day the princess got a message from one of her little bug friends. “Princess, there’s something you should see.” said the little bug in an urgent voice. “Be very careful.” said Evilyn squeezing Malena’s arm tightly. Evilyn let go and Malena went to see what was going on. They walked away from the bog toward the trees. Then she saw a little pink ferret with a design of light blue and white stripes on her body. She was entangled in a web of vines hanging down from a tree. “Oh you poor thing.” said Malena in a soft voice. “Help me, help me!” said the ferret. “Ouchie Ouchie my leg hurts!” cried the ferret.

“Dragonflies, you go around the top of the tree and untangle her there. Frogs, you untangle her all around the bottom. I’ll untangle her around the middle.” They got the ferret untangled and Malena saw that the ferret’s leg was broken because it was wrapped around in the vines too tightly. All the creatures helped Malena carry the ferret. “What’s your name?” asked Malena. “My name is Silvia.” said the ferret weakly.

Chapter 3: Malena and Silvia

Malena took Silvia straight back to the bog and all her little friends followed them. “Mother, we found this poor ferret whose leg is broken, can we keep her until she’s healed?” “Fine.” said Evilyn. “Oh thank you, thank you!” said Malena happily. Now what Malena didn’t know at the time, was that Silvia and her were going to make some great memories together.

“Malena!” cried a salamander “You better come see this. Now you might get disgusted but, what can I say.” “Coming!” Malena hurried back to where she had left Silvia and saw Silvia’s foot was really, really, really broken. “Oh no!” said Malena. They wrapped Silvia’s foot and put a splinter so that she can heal as fast as she could. “Oh thank you, thank you! You’re all so kind, no one ever really cares about a very rare ferret like me. You are all just so very kind indeed!” Said a vert grateful Silvia. “You’re welcome.” said Malena in a sorrowful voice. Silvia thought to herself, “Huh? Why does she sound so...sad? I wonder what is the matter?” Silvia was very confused. She didn’t know why Malena was so sad.

“Um...” Silvia started, “what’s your name again?” “Oh me?” asked Malena. “Yes you.” said Silvia. “My name is Malena.” she said to the ferret. “Oh well, Malena, can I ask you something, in private?” she whispered. “Why are you so sad?” Malena answered, “well, it’s because when we carried you to the bog...” Malena started, “I quickly asked my mother, Evilyn if we could keep you until you’re healed.” “So?” asked Silvia. “So, I said until you’re HEALED, not forever. And that means some day you will have to go when your leg is all better.” Malena said in a very sad voice. This made Silvia sad, because she was hoping to stay here with her new friends. “Well what if I said that I didn’t have a home and that I was lonely? Would she let me stay then?”

“Oh Silvia, I know you have a family and a home.” said Malena. “But, but, I want to stay, because... well because, you are the one who saved me and you just made my life so much better. Please, let me stay.” Begged Silvia. “Um, I’ll try to ask my mother again. I bet she’s going to be furious.” said Malena to herself. “Yay!!!” Malena flew to her house to ask her mother. “Um, mother?” “Yes deary?” said Evilyn. “Can... can?” Malena stuttered. “CAN WHAT deary?!” yelled Evilyn. Malena was so scared, “Can Silvia stay with us forever?!” She asked very fast. “Uh, uh.” Evilyn stammered. “Well uh, no. She’s a ferret honey, and I don’t want to take care of a PET forever! It’s too much work.” “Well how about I take care of her, and promise to do it very responsibly?” said Malena. “NO!!!” Evilyn was getting mad and it wasn’t very good, she was bringing her inner evil out.

“UGGGGH!” Malena cried all the way to her bed. I think she was feeling Evilyn’s inner evil, and that was not good at ALL. Silvia had limped her way to Malena’s house when she heard Evilyn shouting. She found her way into Malena’s room and found her crying on the bed. “What’s wrong this time Malena?” said Silvia curling up into Malena’s bed. “My mother is the worst ever. She won’t let me keep you! She’s... she’s...” She trailed off. “Evil?” Asked Silvia. “Yes.” Said Malena. “Well that actually could be true except, she let you keep me until I was healed so, maybe she is not that bad?.” “Wait, what do you mean that could be true?” “Well, I heard this story about a fairy princess in the fairy kingdom,” Silvia started, “And she was stolen by this evil pixie named Evilyn, and that’s the same as your mother’s name!” “Well it can’t be a coincidence because, she’s been mean to me almost my whole life, and she mostly seemed evil.” said Malena. “Whooooa! Wait, so that means you’re the fairy princess of the fairy kingdom!” said Silvia in astonishment.

Chapter 4: The truth revealed

“All my life I just knew it!” Malena said in a rage. She knew her whole life that Evilyn was evil because Evilyn yells at her a lot. Unlike a normal parent, she yells for the weirdest things. For example, say someone found a lost dog or a bunny and they took it home. They would ask their parents if they could keep it and they would say, “Um, um... sure!”, (maybe). But Evilyn wouldn’t, she would just straight up say no like what she said to Malena about keeping Silvia.

Malena flew out of her room to find Evilyn. “Deary, deary, what’s the matter?!” said Evilyn. “YOU, uggggh!” Malena screamed. “What do you mean deary?” “I know your scheme, I know that you stole me from my real mom and dad! And now I know that I’m the fairy princess of the fairy kingdom!” said Malena. “Well deary...” said Evilyn. “Looks like you caught me.” she said in an evil voice.

Malena had a mad look on her face, and just then she turned away to leave. But, as she was leaving Evilyn grabbed her and put a cloth with something on it that made everything black for Malena.

Chapter 5: Where is Malena?

Meanwhile, Silvia was looking for Malena outside. “Malena, Malena!” Silvia was shouting. “Ugh, where is that girl?” Then Silvia went inside cause she couldn’t find Malena outside. Silvia looked all over the place and she still couldn’t find her. She also couldn’t find Evilyn. “Hmm...” Silvia said. “Well where did I last see Malena. Oh! I remember! She went marching to find Evilyn, cause I told her that story. And I heard some talking, so that must mean that they were talking, but then it stopped!”

Suddenly Silvia looked as if she knew where Malena was, and it wasn’t a very good face. “Oh no!” said Silvia. “Evilyn must have taken Malena somewhere, but I don’t know where!” Suddenly, Silvia heard something. “What’s that noise? It sounds like it’s coming from underwater!” She looked at the water and saw something down in the pond, and there were lots of bubbles coming up from the water. Silvia dived in the water so fast all you could see was a pink, blue, and white blur. And she did it to save her friend because Silvia saw that it was Malena in the water! Evilyn had tied Malena up so she couldn’t swim. Silvia saw underwater that Malena had been tied up so she came back up from the water and ran as fast as possible to the house. She grabbed a small knife she found and went back in the water to cut the rope that Malena had been tied with.

Then Silvia helped Malena out of the water. “Thanks for saving me Silvia.” said Malena panting. “No problem Malena. Now let me ask you a question.” “Ok go ahead.” “Did Evilyn put you underwater all tied up and everything?” asked Silvia. “Yes she did. Ugh I can’t believe I’ve been living with someone evil like that my whole life!” “Don’t worry Malena, it’s ok. Hey I have an idea!” said Silvia. “What?!” said Malena curious of what the idea is going to be. “How about we try to find the king and queen of the fairy kingdom and tell them the whole story!” “Wow, that’s a great idea Silvia!”

Chapter 6: Sam and Silvia

“Um Malena?” “Yes Silvia?” “Do you know where the king and queen’s castle is, do you even know where the kingdom is?” Silvia was starting to worry. “Don’t worry Silvia, I know where the castle is and the kingdom.” Then Malena pointed to something from across the bog. Far away in the distance on a hill you can see a pink building and it looked like a castle! So then Silvia knew there was nothing to worry about because all they had to do was go straight toward that castle. “Ok I think I’m ready.” said Silvia. “Let go!”

So off they went very excited to see the fairy kingdom. They had not gone too far when suddenly they met someone who looked a lot like Silvia! “Who are you?!” asked Malena in astonishment. “Oh no!” Silvia thought to herself. That someone was a purple ferret, with aqua green and white stripes. He looked a little mad. “Ugh Silvia, mom’s gonna be so mad, so it’s a good thing I found you!” said the ferret. “Sam! Ugh!” said Silvia. Malena on the other hand had no idea what was happening. She didn’t know how Silvia knew Sam the other ferret, and she didn’t know what they were talking about! “Uh Silvia, who is this and how do you know him?!” Silvia sighed. “Malena, meet Sam...” Silvia stammered. “M...my...my brother.” “Silvia, you have a brother?!” “Yes. An annoying one too.”

Silvia had this mad look on her face like she didn’t want her brother to be there. “Now I can take you home so I don’t get a beating from mom.” said Sam. “Well I don’t want you to get a beating but I also don’t want you to be here. Me and my new friend Malena are trying to do something important and you’re in our way Sam.” “Well if you don’t come back home Silvia, then mom won’t know you’re ok, she’ll start worrying, and take you back home forever. Do you want that to happen or do you want to help your friend here?” “Ugh fine I’ll come with you.” said Silvia. “Good.” said Sam. “But Silvia!” said Malena sadly. “I thought you were going to help me find my real parents!”

“Oh don’t worry Malena, I will help you find them but if you want me to help you I have to go home first.” said Silvia. She was really getting mad cause she really didn’t want any interruptions on this journey. “Wait, will I be staying there for a long time Sam cause then I have no time?” asked Silvia. “No.” said Sam. “We’re just going to stop by at home so mom knows you’re ok.” “Oh good. So it will just be a little stop at home ok Malena, nothing to worry about.” said Silvia. “Ok.” So Sam and Silvia headed to their house and Malena followed, just to see where they lived and to see how long it was going to take.

Chapter 7: Meeting the Ferret family

When they made it home, Sam opened the door and Malena saw a red ferret with pink and white stripes. “Oh darling you’re back! Now I know you’re safe and sound.” “Hi mom.” said Silvia. “Sam can we go now?” Sam was about to say something when someone interrupted him. “Hey wait! Don’t leave yet!” Then Malena saw a gray ferret with black and white stripes. “Um Silvia, is that a skunk?” asked Malena in a whisper. “No, that’s my dad, not a skunk. But if he were a skunk, mom wouldn’t let him in the house.” Silvia chuckled.

“Hi honey! Say, where were you all day?” “Dad you know I was just taking a walk.” “Yeah I know.” “But while I was walking I got stuck in some vines from a big tree. And my new friend Malena helped me out!” Then Sam moved aside so Silvia’s dad could see Malena. “Hi.” Malena said shyly. All of a sudden Silvia’s dad came running to Malena and hugged her so tight. “Oh thank you, thank you, thank you for helping my daughter!” Then he hugged Malena even tighter! “Ok dad that’s enough.” said Silvia.

“Now can we go Silvia?” “Yeah. Ok everyone, me and Malena have to go now on an important mission, I will see you soon.” “Bye honey!” “Bye darling, be safe!” “Bye sis!” Said her family, as they watched her walk away down the road with Malena.

Chapter 8: Reunited at last

Malena and Silvia left, off to continue their journey. After a long day of walking, they finally made it to the fairy kingdom, without any other distractions. “We’re here!” Malena said. They went up to the castle door and knocked. The latch on the door made a loud clanging sound. Then somebody opened the door. He had a big, furry, green hat, a blue coat with red buttons, and black pants. The girls could tell that he was one of the guards.

“Who goes there?” he said in a deep voice. “I’m Silvia and this is my friend Malena, the fairy princess.” Silvia winked. The guard gasped. “Uh, hold on a minute, I will be right back.” he said. He went back inside the castle and closed the door. The girls started to get nervous. A moment later he came back... with the king and queen! “Your Majesty.” said Malena bowing down. “Uh uh... your Majester.” said Silvia. The king and queen were confused and Silvia started to sweat.

“Um sorry about that your Majesty’s, this is my best friend Silvia and I’m Malena.” “Oh hello, we had a daughter who was named Malena.” said the queen. “Well that’s the point.” said Silvia. ”This is your long lost daughter.” Silvia pointed to Malena and the king and queen looked at Malena with their mouths opened wide. “Is this true?” asked the king and queen. They stared at Malena in disbelief. “Um well yes.” said Malena. “And how are we supposed to know this is true?” asked the queen. “Do you know the name of evil pixie who stole your daughter?” asked Malena. “Yes.” said the king and queen.

“Was it Evilyn by any chance, spelt E-V-I-L-Y-N?” “Yes it was!” said the king and queen in astonishment. “Well Evilyn was my mother, well my pretend mother.” “Well we still don’t have enough evidence.” said the king. “Not much evidence, not much evidence!” said Silvia. “My friend here is definitely your daughter, she has purple hair, and is exactly like your daughter.” The king and queen looked at each other and then at Malena. They looked into her eyes and they knew it right then. “We have proof.” said the queen. “Oh honey!” said the queen hugging Malena really tight. “My daughter, I missed you so much” said the king joining in the hug. Malena hugged them back with the biggest smile on her face, while happy tears rolled down her cheeks.

Chapter 9: Where is Evilyn?

“We need your help in capturing Evilyn and taking her far away, where she can’t hurt anybody, for good.” said the king, after he finally let go of hugging her. “Well do you know where she is?” asked the queen. “Um no, but we have to try to figure out.” Said Malena. “We need clues, traces of her. Honey is the famous detective in the royal guard available?” asked the queen. “Maybe. I might be able to call the royal council and maybe they can tell me if he’s available.” said the king. “Well then,” started the queen, “let’s start making some calls. Call everyone you can think of, the council, the townspeople, anyone and let’s see if they can tell us something.” said the queen. “Yes ma’am.” said Silvia excited to help with the search to capture Evilyn and bring her to justice. Then, everyone started to leave, but as they left the queen grabbed Malena by the arm and hugged her so tight. “I missed you.” she said in Malena’s ear. Malena smiled. She let go and Malena left with Silvia. The queen stayed back in the castle so she could call some people.

The next morning Silvia came back to the castle, “I couldn’t find anyone.” Then the king came behind her and said, “I couldn’t find anyone either.” But, Malena didn’t join them. The queen thought she was still out looking, but she started to worry. All of a sudden, Malena came rushing through the door and said, “I found someone!” “You did?!” said the queen.

“Who did you find?” asked the queen. “I found someone who says he is the best detective in the kingdom.” said Malena. The king and queen looked at each other. What Malena didn’t know was that there was another detective in the kingdom who says he’s a good one because he’s actually not. But what the king and queen didn’t know was that this was someone else, someone good. “Well,” said the queen nervously, “where is he?” “Follow me.” Malena said. She lead them to a grimy, old alley between two old buildings and the road was right in front of them. People passing by were wondering where the royal family were going.

“Here is where he said to meet him.” Malena said. The king and queen were not so sure about this. “If this is the bad detective,” the queen whispered to the king, “we will put him in jail.” “Ok.” said the king back. “So where is he?” Silvia asked. “He should be here by now.” Malena said. Then a dark figure came out from the shadows. He was wearing a dirty bronze hat, a dirty bronze coat, and dark sunglasses. He came into the light and took his glasses off. “I’m detective Florian.” he said in a dark voice. “I’m Malena and this is Silvia, the Queen, and the King, my parents.” “So you’re the lost fairy princess? Welcome back miss.” the detective said. “Now what do you need help with?” he asked. “We need help finding a villain.” Malena said. “And who might that villain be? the detective asked.

“Evilyn, the evil pixie who stole Malena as a child.” Silvia said. The detective gasped. “She’s still out there somewhere!” Malena said. “I will do my best to find her and bring her back to the castle your majesties.” Said the detective.

Are you excited to find out how the story ends?Well you will have to come back to my blog again soon..... :)

Malena and Silvia Continued.....

Chapter 10: Being a princess

Malena and Silvia were getting used to living in a castle. Silvia had sent word to her family that she is living with her friend in the castle at the fairy kingdom. Malena and Silvia were getting comfortable in their new home. Malena got a new pretty dress too! Before, her dress was small with a little tutu like skirt, now her dress was big, sparkly, and pink and it was beautiful. Silvia also got an outfit. She got a little blue dress with a little blue tutu. Malena and the queen thought it was really cute. The king and queen went to a lot of fairy council meetings so they took Malena to some too, since she was the princess. She also got to meet a lot of the townspeople. She attended lots of parties and balls.

The queen and king also told Malena and Silvia that... Malena had magical powers! And her parents had magical powers too! Malena and Silvia were shocked. “Darling,” started the queen, “tomorrow we will teach you how to do magic because you are not used to it.” “Yay! Oh my gosh Malena, I can’t believe you’re going to learn magic! You could do so much!” Silvia said. What Malena didn’t know was that she had healing powers so that’s how Silvia’s leg healed with the splinter on that first day they met. “Oh and darling, you have to come to the council meeting today.” “Ok.” said Malena. All of a sudden, Malena felt sort of nervous. This was her first council meeting. She didn’t really feel prepared. But Silvia made it feel better. “It’s going to be ok Malena. I think you are going to be great!” “Thanks Silvia.” Malena said.

Chapter 11: Finding Evilyn

The detective searched far and wide for three days. By then, the townspeople had heard the princess had returned and everyone was celebrating. Detective Florian found clues all over the fairy kingdom and beyond of Evilyn. She has been hiding in disguises all over the place. He spoke to the fairies in the fairy kingdom, pixies in pixie land, the dwarves, the animals in the forest, the creatures in the bog, the giants in giantville. No one has seen her, but he kept hearing about an unusual stranger hiding around in places.

Three more days passed and Malena was starting to worry. Every morning Malena would always sweat and ask her mother, “Did Detective Florian find Evilyn yet?” “No dear.” said her mother. One evening, Malena had enough of this waiting, so she went out to the place where she first met Detective Florian. Silvia heard the door close, she got curious, so she went outside to follow Malena. “Where is she going?” Silvia thought. Then they turned to a little alley and saw Detective Florian sitting on the ground with a notebook, writing all the clues and thinking. Malena cleared her throat. Detective Florian stood up. Malena saw he had bags under his eyes so she knew he was up all night.

“Your... your majesty. What are you doing here?” He asked. “And Silvia what are you doing here too?” Malena just realized she was there and turned around. “Silvia! Why did you follow me?” “I wanted to know where you were going.” Silvia said. “Well anyway, Detective Florian do you have any idea where Evilyn is? I can’t take all this waiting around anymore. I need to know that my people can be safe.” Malena said. “Well...” Detective Florian started. Then all of a sudden, a dark person in a long brown trench coat, black boots and a black hat with a came carrying red, dark purple, and black spray paint in her hand. She started spraying the walls, and she didn’t seem to see the others. She wrote on the wall, “Evilyn, Evilyn, Evilyn was here” everywhere. She turned around and she saw the others! And because she wrote “Evilyn was here” the others knew that was Evilyn in disguise.

Chapter 12: The chase

Evilyn then ran across the alley and turned around the corner. The others chased her, but Malena flew as fast as she could. She was so mad at Evilyn that she wanted to catch her and put her in jail for a long time. They ran and flew and chased and chased and chased Evilyn, until she suddenly stopped at the end of the road. Everyone stopped at the same time. “Why did we stop?” Silvia whispered to Malena. “I don’t know?” Malena replied. It was because there were too many cars and if Evilyn ran across she would have gotten run over. Evilyn looked around and saw a small path between two buildings. She dashed through the buildings, running as fast as she could. Detective Florian, Malena and Silvia continued to chase her through the buildings, going as fast as they could.

The path lead Evilyn to the river, where they were building a new bridge at Fairyland Bay. The bridge was still under construction, but Evilyn didn’t know this. She ran across the bridge and suddenly she noticed the bridge was ending, she couldn’t stop herself. She slipped and fell right into the cold water of the Lissdangle river, the famous river of the fairy kingdom. “Oh no!” everyone said. “We have to get her out!” Silvia said. Then Malena took a deep breath and put her hand in a position where she can perform magic. “What are you doing?” Silvia asked. “I’m going to use magic to get Evilyn out.” said Malena. “What!?? But you don’t even know how to use your powers yet! You can fly but you can’t do magic.” Silvia said. “Yes princess, I agree with Silvia.” Detective Florian said. “You do not know magic yet. Are you sure this is safe?” “Yes. I have to try.” Malena said.

Chapter 13: Magical powers

Malena took another deep breath, bigger this time, and let out purple fairy dust. Everyone gasped. Then a streak of purple magic came out of Malena’s hands. All of a sudden, Malena started to glow purple! She had just unlocked her powers. She lifted her hand and brought Evilyn out. “Leave her there!” Silvia said as Malena was placing Evilyn on the bridge. Then Malena fell to the ground. “Malena are you ok?!” Silvia said. Silvia and Detective Florian lifted her up. “I... I feel stronger.” Malena said. “Good. You should feel that way once you’ve unlocked your powers.” Detective Florian said. Malena smiled. Then everyone looked down at Evilyn lying on the ground. “Is... is she dead?” Silvia asked. Evilyn then woke up and coughed. “Nope.” Malena replied. “What happened?” Evilyn asked groaning. “You fell off this bridge and fell into the Lissdangle river.” Malena said. Evilyn groaned some more.

Then a limo came up. The king and queen ran out. “Oh darling! Are you alright?! Are all of you alright?!” The queen said in panic. “Yes mother. And I unlocked my powers!” Malena said. “Oh man,” the king said, “ we missed it?” “Yeah.” Silvia said. “You did.” “Mother, father, Detective Florian? Please take Evilyn to jail for a long time. She will serve her sentence for all she has done there.” “Yes your majesty.” Detective Florian said. “Yes darling. Guards, put Evilyn here in the back of the limo and drive her to jail.” the queen said. “Yes ma’am.” the guards said. They picked Evilyn up and put her in the back of the limo and drove away. “Well, now that’s all settled. Now what?” Silvia said. “I don’t know?” Malena said. “Well maybe it’s time for me to go.” Detective Florian said. “Hold on there Florian” the King said. “You get a reward for helping my daughter catch the evil Evilyn” Detective Florian was surprised, “Why that’s very kind of you, your majesty. Thank you very much”. The King used his magic and gave the detective a bag of gold coins. “Goodbye everyone. It was nice meeting you all.” “Goodbye Detective Florian, do keep in touch” everyone said. Then he walked away back into the shadows.

“Maybe we should go too.” Malena said. “But we don’t have the limo.” Silvia said. “I’ll teleport us.” the queen said. She used her magic and teleported everyone back to the castle. “It’s also late. We should go to bed now.” Silvia suggested. “Good idea. I am tired after all that.” “Me too.” everyone replied. “Good night.” Silvia said. They all left off to bed. While Malena and Silvia were sleeping they were wondering, what would happen next, now that everything is done? That was the big question. They wondered all night. The king and queen however, had ideas.

Chapter 14: Happily Ever After

A few days later Malena went to her first council meeting, and she was amazing. And she made lots of new laws and rules. She learned more magic too, and became really good at it. Silvia had lots of good treatment back at the castle. She loved it. She never had anything like that before. A few more days later, Malena became queen of fairyland, and Silvia became her personal friend in the castle. They got lots of gifts and everything! They loved their new life in the castle. Everyday, they thought what would happen next? And whatever did happen, they were ready for it and looking forward to new adventures. They all lived happily ever after.
