Road of despair

Let them eat cake

AUTHORS NOTE: So, this goes along with the French revolution, Minx basically takes the role of Marie Antonette. NO, SHE DID NOT EVER SAY 'LET THEM EAT CAKE' I AM SIMPLY USING THIS PRAISE AS A TITLE AND A BASIS TO SHOW HOW MINX KILLED. AND THIS IS NOT CANON TO THE STORY, THIS IS JUST A CREEPYPASTA I GOT THE IDEA FOR FROM A FRIEND OF MINE, CRYSTAL ARTS. ALSO, TRIGGER WARNING FOR DEATH :D

October 16th, 1793. 

Minx Flare, the doting husband of Felix Flare, the king of France, he had 5 children during that time, but they had been locked away. He remained stoic as he was forced up the steps, the crowd booing at him, throwing things at him, he did not care. But on the inside, he was indeed, crying.

The people of France never liked him, after all he wasn't from there. He had immigrated there from Australia. He understood their hate, he wasn't the same as them, so they were fearful of him, he had spent a lot of the country's money as well. He was soon forced to kneel before the guillotine, and he spoke up. 

"I have but one request, before I am to be executed. I simply wish for my children to be spared. If they are to be sent away, please make it so that it is a safe place, if they are exiled, please give them a nanny to tend to them until the age of adulthood. And I beg for the lord's forgiveness, that I could not do more for this country." 

He did not plead to be spared, he accepted it as his head was stuck to be sliced off, and yet it didn't happen yet, that's when he heard his children's screams, he opened his eyes as he looked forwards, and he screamed out at the sight, his children being tied to a stake. 

"No! Please they're innocent! They've done nothing!" Minx screamed, crying as he saw the hay set on fire as his kids were set on fire. The burning skin, it made Minx sick to see, he started to wail, seeing his own kids in pain. 

Thats when the sharp blade of the guillotine struck, his head rolling off the stand, his eyes facing his children, tears still pouring. But in the last few seconds of his consciousness, he simply muttered 'monsters' to all of the crowd, grinning as they had seen their old queen scream in horror one last time.

But they had no idea what they had unleashed.

October 16th, 2025

France had changed, it became Kalos. Many were educated on French history, including the French revolution, this day they were celebrating, as they were free, children, who didn't know the meaning of this day were laughing, even plays of what happened that day were shown, though the meaning had been lost.

That night though, when some kids had got lost, they heard some crying, and in true innocence they went to figure out what it was, there in a quiet alleyway, was a short person, dressed in pink, hair cut from their neck and showing a slice in their neck, was sitting on their knees, face in their hands, crying. 

The kids did not notice the slice in their neck, being innocent and naive. They reached out, trying to help, and when the person looked up, they took the children's hands, slowly standing, soon the moonlight showed who it was, Minx Flare.

Minx led the kids away. Smiling as his tears slowly dried. 

October 23rd, 2025

Three bodies of the missing children from a week ago floated in the river, their eyes blank, blood dripping from their mouths, and their skin a bit burnt as well. The parents of the children screamed and cried, much like Minx did when his children were burnt Infront of him. 

Felix, a rookie cop, was put on the case. He looked for anything that could've brought clues, but he didn't find anything until he choose to check the tongues of the children, when he did, he found cake on their tongues. The ingredients were from an old recipe that traced back to the late 1700's, when Kalos was called France.

He had stayed late in that office that night, when he suddenly heard a scream outside, he rushed outside, throwing his coat on where he saw a woman suddenly collapse, with his training he did chest compressions, and call 911, he looked up to see a pink fabric disappear around a corner, he knew that had to be the attacker, but he couldn't just leave the woman there to die.

October 24th, 2025

Felix sat in the ER, waiting for news on the woman, hoping she had survived so he could ask her some questions, and when he received the news that the woman had passed, due to a heart attack, he felt as if these two events were connected. 

That night he took a walk, posing to seem unarmed, he then heard crying, and he followed the sound, and that's when he saw it. A male in a pink dress, one from the late 1700's, a crown on his head, he knew this person immediately, Minx Flare, he stumbled back, kicking a can, alerting Minx.

Minx slowly raised his head, looking towards Felix, his eyes widened, he screeched, charging towards him, and then stopped, and ran his fingers along Felix's cheeks, giggled to himself, and then, disappeared.

Felix was shaken up. He didn't know what happened, but he didn't believe in the paranormal before, but now...

He sure as hell did.

November 24th, 2025

Sense that day Felix saw Minx, everything went downhill. He tried to tell someone about what happened, but they called him crazy. No one believed what happened to Felix, it got to the point he'd end up seeing Minx in his nightmares, he somehow heard Minx confess to drowning those children, he heard those children's giggles in his nightmares.

He seemed to witness King Felix Flare's execution as well. He got little to no sleep, he lost his job, he wasn't even able to get a new job due to the fact that everyone saw him as crazy and insane, he didn't even have enough to go home, and he ended up homeless.

November 16th, 2025

Felix saw Minx standing upon a bridge, crying as he was leaning over the railing, Felix didn't know if it was insanity, or even desperateness to get the truth, or if it was the spirit of King Felix Flare taking control of his body, but the way he saw Minx, standing there in the moonlight... 

It was beautiful. 

He approached him, and held his hand to Minx, and Minx slowly looked to Felix, and took his hand.

November 23rd, 2025

Felix's corpse was seen floating down the same river that the children's corpses were found. He had a dopey grin on his face, a slice on his neck, and a thousand yard look on his face.

November 24th, 2025

An autopsy on Felix's corpse, on his tongue, showed crumbs of a cake. One that traced back to the late 1700's.

January 1st, 2026

Many children had gone missing, and a week later each time their corpses floated down the river, though now even adults heard the sobbing children did before they went missing, but when they took glimpses, they saw someone in a pink dress. Those that were unlucky, saw the face of that person. 

Many titled the person, 'the Pink lady' but none really knew their real name. But it caused parents to warn their children, to never go out at night, locking their doors, but the children that did ignore their parents, they always showed up a week later without their life, floating down a river.
