Grimwood ghouls ep 5 The mirror monster.

Past the barren Bog and high up in the mountains that surrounded shade haven was the dark and isolated ruins of Revolta's castle, which had been in that state sense the grimwood girls had first escaped her evil clutches,...now it contuned to remain that way after that last encounter with the horrible witch...that being it was silent. except for the crumbles of it's broken walls falling down on themselves...
but one would no longer hear the screeches of the spider bats. or the boiling of some cauldron..No indeed.things were quite Dead around the castle for things you see have been very grim and glum around the place..

ever sense she tried to steal the powerful spell book known as the dream holder from the Grimwood school...for she had been stopped again by those grimwood ghouls....and now she had retreated back to her destroyed lair...though one would expect she'd be concocting up another evil sheme that'd make her feared and powerful witch that she thinks she is.. but however that's not how things are for the wicked women..not at all....


" oh...what a horrid day...revolta wouldn't want to miss this " Creeper said as he stood on top a pile of rubble overlooking a dead valley from the mountain they were on...the clouds where dark and grey, the wind was blowing a cold breeze..and it looked as though rain was a sure thing..just the perfect weather for any ghoul to bask in...

The six tentacled creature hopped off the rubble and made his way back into the ruins of the castle..were he went into the chamber were His master resided...

" Revolta...you need to come out and see the miserable weather..it's do you good I say.." Creepr said as a Revolta herself laid on top a stone alter with a pillow placed under her head..staring endlessly at the ceiling...

Creeper however waited for a response...

" Leave me be creeper...even the most miserable of days can not put me in a good mood.." she said in a quiet yet cold tone..


" oh...but revolta..it's so gloomy..and well..you must get up..you have not left this chamber in days..I'm worried for you..I even made your favorite batch of snake and spider stew " he said

" snake and spider stew..minced mice...what ever it be..I wish not to leave my alter..I'll just lay here until I feel like doing so no more " she said said not even looking at him...

creeper then sighed.." what Must I do to get you off your back..would i make you happy if I let you zap me with your wand ? " he said pointing a tentacle to himself..

" It's tempting..but I will do no such thing now.." she said turning away onto her side..

" but I hate mommy so upset " he mumbled to himself...

he then saw revolta tense up a little..causing creeper to grin a little..then put on a scared expression...

" Creeper...what have I told you about referring to me as that.." she growled...

" I uh...It was accident ! "he said twiddling his tentacles...with a slight smirk.. " I didn't mean to..! " he said as revolta then got off her Altar...

" I told you time and time again....to stop calling me that !! " she said taking a hold of her wand and quickly zapping him with it. causing him to jump shout and jump into the air...

" ow ! sorry...I no my mistake ! " creeper said rubbing the spot here she zapped him..." but at least it got you on your feet.." he chuckled...

this caused revolta to stop huffing for a bit then soften her expression...she then looked at her wand then back at him...then started chuckling to herself..." oh ny,,,,..oh you really are too much you know that creeper.. " she continued to laugh.. I forget that I can be lucky or very unlucky to have created such a servant as you..."

" hey..it's what I live for...but honestly..you been worrying me..seeing you in this state all the time...it's not healthy for a which to be so...miserable..you need to be the one causing that to others..." he stated with a concerned look

this cause revolta to sigh..." your are right...I once had a mighty mind to keep me going..now..all I can think about is how much I failed as a evil witch...but its just ever sense that awful Grimwood school has foild by plans twice in a row...

" uh..i think three times actually. " Creeper sheepishly pointed out..which just caused revolt to glare at him

" Anyway...I have jus tnot been in High sprites sense then...If only I had a way I can rid myself of those Grimwood's once and for all...but now that they know my existence is still about...they probably had taken precaution by now to be on the guard.." she said as she made her way out of the chamber and down the ruined Halls of her castle were many of it's walls ad now collapsed on it'self..meaning it was more so just a trail of rubble to fallow...

" but revolta...you are one of the most cunning witches I ever knew....certainly someone as great as you can come up with something.." creeper said...

" I'm the only witch you ever knew creepr " she said while shaking her head.. " and you are right...I can and will come up with something..but I just need to know what that something is..." she said rubbing her chin.." What can I do do those miserable grimwood brats " she then stopped as she then tripped over a pie of broken wall on the ground as she smacked into a giant pile of rubble that was also blocking her way from continuing down the Corridor..

" ugh...I can't even plot evil into my own Lair ever sense those girls destroyed it !!! " she growled loudly as stood back up , she took her wand and used it to blast the rubble away...

" Gaah ! this is ridiculous I tell you ! "

creeper just dodged some of the debris that was sent flying from her magical blast..

" revolta then sighed when suddenly she heard a distant voice.

" oh..what's with a the racket..I was enjoying a nice calm nap here " she heard the voice say. which sounded rather harsh and rough...

" creeper....who was that. " she said looking back at the one eyed mutant..

" I..uh..I'm not sure " he said itching his head...

" I'm over here ! " the voice spoke...

they both then looked over to something laying on the ground among the rubble..upon closer inspection they could see a mirror on it's Back cover in dust and dirt...

" wait a moment...I know that voice " Revolta said making her way over to the mirror...to which she used her magic to levitate it close to her.

once all the dirt fell off...revolta could see her reflection was missing on the mirror...she raised her eye brow as she saw two glowing red eyes appear off in the distance of the Mirror...

" Hello Revolta...it's....uhhh...good o see you again.." the voice said from the mirror...and soon the eyes began to have a form shape around that took the form of Revolta's....only..it appeared to be much more revolting then hers..if that was even possible...her hair was much longer and dirty..her skin had more warts the usual and her fingernails were now claw like..the kind you'd see on a werewolf....

revolta grinned to herself.." ah...well if it isn't the old reflection ghoul himself.." Revolta said with a chuckle.." I thought I lost you along with the rest of my castle.." she said standing the mirror back upright.." you must have been buried under all the rubble. "

The reflection then let out a long yawn as he itched his back.." oh please...it takes a lot to get rid of the mirror monster..." the reflections said with a sinister chuckle..." you must know that my Mirror is not so easily shattered.. " he grin evilly and snickered.." say..what did happen to your castle ? " he said looking around.."

revolta rubbed the back of her neck and chuckled.." uuh..well you see. " she began but was interrupted by the Mirror monster..

" cause the last thing I recall was chasing around some weird people in the caslte..there was this wimpy guy in a red shirt.." he said transforming into the form of the person of which he meant.. " and His just as whimpy Dog..." he said transforming into a large brown great Dane with a few black spot and a blue collar...

" revolta just shook her head at the sight of those too...

" I was about to get them when I was...uh..distracted by something and had to return to my mirror...but shortly after that...everything came crashing down and all went dark...I don't know how long it's been but I was in total darkness for what seemed like forever..and truth be told..I was starting to enjoy the peace and quiet. " he said transforming back into his revolta image..and crossing all his revolta arms...

" heh...well you won't believe what had happened in the past year ACK !!" creeper yelled when revolta used her wand to magically toss him aside...

she then looked around and laughed a little..." well the details as to why my castle is in ruins is not important..but all I will say is..things have not been worse at castle Revolta...but finding you...has made me very happy actually..for I think I can find some good use for you again...tell me Mirror...would you like to help old revolta...take care of some pesky ghouls.." she said rubbing her hands together...

" wait..you already have a plan to use this guy ? " Creeper said. not knowing the Mirror monster had transformed into Him...and when he looked back was given a slight scare when his much creepier reflection spooked him..

" well..not an exact plan..but I know for sure I can find use of him . " revolta said..


" gee..I don't know...I been coped up in this mirror for so long..I don't know If I have it in me to pull anything crafty anymore. " he said shaking his head and turning back into his revolta form...

" oh..but I know you can...all you have to do is get rid of some ghouls...you've shown me you been able to do such thing's before..come one..give it try...for old time sake. " revolta said with a sinister grin...

the Mirrior monster rubbed his chin for a moment then nodded.." well..i suppose I can try and do my best..I mean..I guess I can't spend the rest of my existence napping..wouldn't look good for me " he chuckled.." so...who are these ghouls you want taken care of...and how do you wish for me to take care of them ? "........


.......................................

At the Grimwood school....


after another day of getting more lessons from miss Grimwood about the first ghoul to try and write Horror literature, Sibella had went back to her room to get ready for the evening, she sat down in front of her vanity mirror again to brush her hair...which should be said now was a funny thing seeing as she had no reflection to see how things were turning out for her, but somehow she managed to get herself looking nice and pretty for any day....but despite that she still found it bothersome at times for her to have to guess what she was even doing. they only thing she could ever see was her dress and what ever little fashion accessories she had on her....

" alright...that just about does it " Sibella said with a smile as she had gotten her hair the way she liked it..." I don't know how you do it sibella Dracula..but you are one hair stylists.." she chuckled..

she then stood up and and made her way out of her room...unbeknownst to her though..Revolta had sent her Spiderbat psych to go and spy on the grimwood school like he had many times before. he spent most of his time trying to spy on the ghouls without being caught, sense revolta was still sure they'd be a bit on edge from their last encounter..thankfully for her none of the ghouls happen to spot Psych...so he continued to observe the ghouls but as of now. Psych was mainly focusing on sibella.. this time he was fallowing her around mostly for a certain reason..

for upon observing sibella's actions they notice that sibella spend a lot of her time worrying about her appearance..always checking herself in the mirror despite not being able to see her own self, always trying her best to make herself look pretty and presentable..

" hmm..that purple one..the Vampire seems to have a keen liking for her vanity " Revlolta said observing her cauldron which showed the image of her doing those things...

" I don't know how somone can get so worked up with those sort of things " creeper said shaking his head..

" i know..try as she might..she'll never hide the fact she will always be a monster and that is how the world will always see her..." she stated.." but I think it's good she does so...for this may give us the chance to start my next plan to rid ourselves of them. " she evily grinned...



The next day...

the ghoul girls were having their annual shopping trip into the town to pick up supply for the school. they all were tasked with picking up an item. winnie along with tanis went to pick up the meat at Mr Dogers Butcher shop as usual. while Pantasma and Esla went to get the produce...leaving sibella to pick up the bread from he bakery..with the money she was given from Miss grimwood for doing so.

" alright girls. you know the drill. we'll meet back in the town square park as always. " sibella said

" yeah. we got it. but do you really still not trust me to get the deli by myself ? " winnie said motioning over to tanis.

" look...the last time you said that...we did trust you and well..it's clear you still need someone to supervise you. " sibell said..

" but you chose tanis ? " she said

" ah come on winnie...don't mind me, besides I know you can get the meat without eating all of it " she giggled...

" look just everyone go and get what's on your list. and we'll meet back up. " sibella said as she bid them all farewell while they all went off...

once she was by herself she began making her way down the town main street and towards the bakery.

" alright seven loafs " she read her shopping list allowed to herself..as she did she then took notice of something off to her left..

in a shop window was some of the nicest dresses she had ever seen....she immidtally stopped walking and took the time to observe them..

" oh my..what wonderful looking dresses " she said placing her face up against the glass..she then looked down to see the money she had in her hand..then sighed..knowing she'd never have enough to afford them..at least not while also having enough to get the bread...she quickly shook it off as she began to make her way back towards the bakery. how ever as she made her way over...just ahead of her in an ally way was both Creeper and revolta awaiting for her...

" oh okay quickly she's coming this way..you know the plan. " Revolta said as she looked over to the mirror monster...

" yeah yea I got it..just do your part and I'll take care of them in no time, " he said with a sly yet sinister smirk...

" alright then..I'll have to change my form now..but I'll only have short time to keep it. " she said..

" why is that ? " Creeper said

" because you blundering oath without the Dream holder spell book..I have not yet mastered transformation spells with my magic alone..now be quiet..here I go. " she said taking her wand and placing it on her self..soon the wand glowed with it's aurora, and in an instant she quikly transformed herself into a human version of herself...giving herself a younger look, and ridding herself of two of her extra arms...her dress becoming much more slim and clean..


" ugh..the things I do for my goals..." she said examining herself in disgust...

" hey..you don't look to bad " creeper said with a snicker....this however just caused revolta to levitate him with her magic and toss him into a dumpster.." you stay in there until I'm done. " she said...


she then cleared her throat as whe waited for sibella to pass by...and as she did she tried to get her attention

" psst...excuse me..you over their "

Sibella heard the voice speaking to her as she was walking, she looked around to see where the voice had originated from.

" as yes..you..the purple one. "

sibella then looked over towards the alleyway when she saw revolta in her disguised form....

" oh...um are you speaking to me " she answered..

" I never met a purple human before so...I'd say so. " revolta smirked...then smiled sweetly.." would you kindly come over here..I wish to show you something you might be interested in. " she said..

" really now ?..well I'm afraid I'm in a hurry..I need to get to the bakery you see. "

" Oh but I assure you miss..you'll take a great liking into this.." revolta said in a per swaying tone..

" um..may i ask why you are hanging out in an ally way first ? " sibella asked..

" well....uh..because Ii was about to toss away the thing I wish to show you..but once I saw you..I knew you'd be interested in it."

" hmm...well..how would you know I'd like to see it..? "

sibella mentally rolled her eyes knowing she had to keep finding ways to get her to fallow her.." because..your a vampire are you not..and well..what I want to show you could be very special to your kind." she nodded.

sibella looked over at the bakery at the end of the street then at that at women...." eh..well Fine..I'll take a look..but only quik alright . " she said...

Revolta then grinned as she rubbed her hands.." oh yes...no worries with that at all. " she said as in her mind she mentally laughed to herself...

soon revolta had led Sibella in to the ally were she had the Mirror propped up against a brick wall..

" A mirror...you wanted to show me a mirror ? " sibella said sound none to impressed.." I'm sorry..but I don't need one of those..I already have one.." she informed her..

" ah..but do you have this kind of mirror ? " Revolta grinned..when suddenly her old rotten teeth returned in her mouth again..causing her to quickly cover them with her hands.

sibella looked at her seemingly not taking notice..." um..while I don't have a full length one..I still have one..and I really have no use for another.." she sad..

" oh...but If you just stand in front of it..I'm sure you'll change your mind. " Revolta grinned..when suddenly her hair began to become dirty and shaggy again..." she quickly used her wand to fix it again then hid it back behind her back.

sibella again not paying attention to her didn't see her do that but instead looked at the mirror..." well...alright then. " she said as she made her way over to the mirror...

once she stepped in front of it..she gasped at what she saw.....her reflection...

" is-is...is that me ! " she said sounding shocked and confused..but a little happy..

" indeed it is...you see this mirror is magic and can actually reflect a vampires image....I had it in my family for years..but I have no more use for it..and well despite that. I'd hate to have it thrown out..which is why I am hoping you would take it off my hands. "

she then notice sibella was not even paying attention to her sense she was so busy obsrtving herself in the mirror..

" I can't believe it...i never seen myself like this before..I's simply wonderful. " she said not taking her eyes away..

revolta's two extra arms then popped back out to which she quikly hid them behind her back.." um...yes..so As i was saying I was hoping you'd take the mirror from me..I know you could use it. "

" I..I...I would..." sibella said almost entranced.." but...I don't have the money to do that.. "

" oh..I'm not asking for money...in fact there is no catch to this at all..I just want to make sure this mirror is given a good place sense I can no longer keep it. "

" really...you would just give it to me ? " sibell said finally looking away from the mirror..

" but of course..it's he least I can do for a hero of...shadehaven " revolta said sounding as though she had trouble saying that last line..

" oh...yeah that ..well I wouldn't say I'm a hero..we just needed to do what needed to be done...but t's nice to see some others who are willing to be grateful for that. "

" no worries..so..you can take the Mirror..and use it to how ever you will...just remember to take care of it. and yourself. " Revolta said with a wink..as a wart suddenly appeared back on her fae.." uh..so will you take it ? "

sibella looked back at the mirror then back at the women. " well if you insist.."

" I do..it's better then it being shattered at the dump "

" then..sure..I'll take this mirror of your hands, " sibella said placing her hand on it as she examine herself again.

" great then. you can just take it and I'll leave you to it. " revolta said with a grin, "

" oh thank you very much ummmm..I'm sorry what's your name. ? "

Reeeee- Rebecca ! yes that is is..." revolt grinned....

sibella just looked at her a little confusingly but nodded.." well thank you kindly. My friends will sure get interested in this..

" Oh...I bet they will..." revolta said with a slightly dark tone.."

sibella normally would have notice that as well, but being so excited about her new mirror..she payed no attention as she
carried the mirror by her side. " well thanks again mam " sibella said as she went on her way..


as soon as she was out of sight revolta clasped her hands together.

" ha ha...she took it...it was too easy." she grinned as turned completely back into here revolting self.. she made her way over to the dumpster where Creeper popped out appearing to be eating something..

" say * munch * these humans sure throw out a lot of good rotten food. " he said as he tossed a rotten apple core into his mouth..

" never mind that junk creeper..the grimwood girl has taken the mirror..she'll be heading home with it and soon the mirror monster will do his task ." she sneered.." now come...let's head home and have some of that snake and spider stew you whipped up...
