The Maze of Fear

Act 2 part 3

The castle seemed to be just like the one in real life. Twinkle stepped slowly. She was armed with a want..but that was all. It seems like she was alone

"You're never alone in an empty castle" the Executioner said

"W-who's there?!" Twinkle said

"It doesn't matter, you're not alone anyway,so keep it on the low...mistake"

he said laughing leaving the space, and Twinkle shaking in her shoes. She advanced slowly
hoping that no one would bat an eye to her. She noticed that there were a lot of Elf's in there yet they didn't seem to see her. She walked slowly hiding in the shadows. She spotted the hall that had the stairs leading up the chambers where the book would be, but it was on the other side and there was no way of getting around, so she had go get through the elfs. They seemed to be patrolling. But then she heard a voice coming from the very hall she wanted to enter, she quickly hid

"My dear,dear and useless elfs.." a woman said. Twinkle peek a bit from behind the wall to see a witch.  Her voice is so beautiful yet her appearance was horrific,  she was skin and bones, horns as long as herself, sharp teeth and bloodshot eyes. She was blind. But the elfs acted as her eyes. She moved slowly between the elfs that were overjoyed by her presence.

"The fairy is locked in her place...." she said softly.

"She will be my source of magic...she'll make me see again..." she said

"That frog has caused me a lot of pain..." she cried. Twinkle caught on finally, she has to turn the frog back. Ugh and it was so easy.
She noticed that the entrance to the hall is free,Twinkle had no choice but to make a run for it. She began running to the entrance but a sleep came right in front of her landing on a wall

"EEK" Twinkle yelled backing off a bit

"INTRUDER" The witch said pointing the bony finger in Twinkle's direction
The witch had heard her steps

The elfs turned their head to look at the helpless fairy

She pointed her wand at them,shaking

"B-back off!" She tried to threath but to no avail. The elfs started to run towards her

"S-stop! I don't want to harm anyone!" She said shaking
They were getting closer and closer ready to tear the fairy apart, to pull at her limbs and her wings. Twinkle closed her eyes and said a spell in her mind.

The wand started to glow and then. Everything was quiet. Twinkle opened one eye. The elfes were blasted away..it was just her,and the witch

"I'm so sorry!.." she said

"My..."

Twinkle curled up, she froze in place

"You...MISTAKEEE" The witch yelled making the ground shake. Twinkle didn't though twice before running in the hall, up the stairs with the witch following her.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR YOUR CRIME!" The witch yelled as she was chasing Twinkle up the stairs

"I DIDNT MEAN IT" She said with her voice cracking. She was so scared, her knee started to hurt, she saw a door, with a key in it. It was her call. She entered thought the door and lock it, barricade it with a spell. The witch banged on the door but to no avail. It wouldn't budge. Twinkle slowly backed up shaking still. She took a deep breath and walked through the hall that lead to the chamber where the book would be at. As she was making her way towards the room she got past a jail cell. She stopped and looked at who was in it. Looked like a frog.. like the Queen who was out this Maze, the one that hated her. The Frog in front of her was beaten up, chained to the wall, connected to some sort of magical device that sucked the power out the poor woman. Twinkle approached and grabbed the bars, making the chained frog snap her head up.

"Are you back?!" She said referring to the witch

"It's...not the witch" Twinkle reassured

She looked up at Twinkle,she couldn't move, and was in too much pain to even try

"You're the one I need to fix?" She asked

The frog nodded. Twinkle felt pity, and somewhat confident that she can do it. She told the frog that she'll be back and went into the chamber. Once entering the Chamber she saw the book shining in the middle of the room.

She approached slowly. Little did she knew what was awaiting her before she could take the book..
