Unsweet Sweets

Chapter 6: Daemyn

    I tapped my steering wheel impatiently. What was taking her so long? Was she ordering the famous Triple Double Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffin? I’d heard that it took hours to make, but she didn’t really have to take it that far. Unless it’s for me!  Hehehe.....that girl was falling for me hard. Or so I’d like to  think.

Suddenly, something in the bakery exploded. So much for just going in and buying muffins. She just had to make it dramatic, didn’t she?  Just like the McDonalds incident. I still hadn’t fully forgiven her, but it was a nice gesture to buy me a muffin using her own money.

Something flashed through the windows of the bakery when I turned to see what happened.  Holy poop.  Was she using her holy lightning?  There seemed to be not much people around, so I don’t think she was doing it to show off or that she might not have enough money to buy muffins.  Good thing, there’s no people too, because, we were going to be on the headlines by tomorrow. But that was odd. Why wouldn’t there be any people in there in such a famous restaurant? The Triple Double Muffin Shop was pretty famous, and even we people in hell knew about it.

Shaking my head at how stupid Arietty was, I got out of the car to check out what’s going on.  As I neared the bakery, she seemed to be fighting some large gigantic.......wait for it...... MUFFIN!  Holy poop again!  I ran to the bakery and found muffins splattering the wall.  Arietty was battling a HUGE muffin and seemed to be having trouble. The muffin had cornered her against the wall. It was shooting stale crumb bullets (which are really hard and go really fast) at her and icing. Like, icy icing. The frozen kind. And in sharp popsicles.

Time for the super hero, also the knight in shining armor to step up. In other words, me. Not too hard to believe, right?

I stormed inside and walked right up behind the muffin, ready to attack. MAN THAT THING WAS HUGE. It had magical energy practically radiating off it. In response, I used my strongest attack: to send every living thing around me to hell. But first, I had to make sure of something.

I yelled to Arietty, “WHAT ARE YOUR DEFENSIVE LEVELS?!”

She yelled back, “WHY ARE YOU BEING NOSY?!”

”BECAUSE IF IT’S NOT HIGH ENOUGH, YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MY STRONGEST ATTACK! I’M GOING TO ATTACK EVERYTHING AROUND ME!”

Oh, and did I say? The amount of energy radiating off the muffinmonster was able to distort the sound waves that Arietty and I were making. That was why we had to yell, so we could hear each other.

“ONE OF THE BEST IN HEAVEN!”

Ok. That was good. That most likely meant that I could use it without killing her. And hopefully, the muffin would absorb so much of my attack that she wouldn’t be harmed. That was only my guess though. I really wasn’t sure.

I motioned for her to stay back against the wall and as far away from my spell as possible. When she did, I raised my arms and began to chant, “La de doo aa ee oo unk.”

Ok, so that did not sound the most intelligent, but hey, don’t judge a book by its cover.

After a few more chants, the spell activated, and a black wave of energy emanated from me. Arietty’s hair was flying due to the force of my spell, and created a weak barrier, enough so that she would be protected from my spell, but weak enough so my spell wouldn’t be weakened. Smart, I must say.

The spell whipped around the muffinmonster, but it was unperturbed. At first, it seemed shocked, and started violently fighting my spell. I used my energy to the max, and tried to send it to hell, but this muffin was stronger than I realized. It sent doughnut sprinkles that neutralized the effects of my spell and shook it off. I was shocked. No one had ever been able to  resist that spell. But then again, I had never seen muffins sprinkle doughnut sprinkles. This one must have been one of the stronger ones. Lucky us.

Gritting my teeth, I tried harder. “Go to hell!” I screamed. My energy was now all directed on the muffin. Arietty had managed to shake the spell off because I wasn’t directing it at her, and so the effects were weaker. She shot a bolt of holy light at it, and I screamed, “NO!”

How could she be so stupid?! Her’s was holy light! Mine was darkness! It was obvious that her holy light would overcome my dark spell.

My magic faded away. NO! We had no chance of winning now. That was the strongest magic in my arsenal, and now I was out. No offense to girls, but they don’t usually have as much magic power as boys. Studies have shown that.

We were going to lose. This muffin was too strong. “YOU’RE SO STUPID!” I screamed at her. She didn’t answer, and was instead blasting a white light at the muffin.

My eyes widened when I realized what she was doing. She was doing the same thing as me, except it would be that she was sending the muffin to heaven. Which, in my opinion, the muffin didn’t deserve. It should go to hell. But it was working. And if she sent it up, God could always send it down to hell to be punished. My dad would always happily accept that.

She was basically taking over for me. She had realized that I was slowly weakening, so she had taken the job over for me.

We might just win.

But then, the muffin took in a deep breath and sucked in all the magic. Arietty’s eyes widened.

There was no way. That magic was extremely powerful. How could she lose?

The muffin exhaled. Icing flew out. Frosted icing. Pointy ones. They hit us.

I heard her distinctly mutter, “I was going to order you the Triple Double Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffin. Too bad now.”

I smiled. Maybe she really wasn’t so bad. She was different from the other girls who always wanted to please me. She didn’t. I liked her style. I didn’t really like like her before. She was just any other girl that I flirted with. But maybe, just maybe, this was a start.

And the world turned black.
