candypop and candycane: once upon a time

A/N i'm not actually sure if this should have a warning, if you think it does tell me what warning please!

  Ireland, 1400'sOnce upon a time in a kingdom of ice and snow. The empire was undera cold spell of winter at this time, the night was young, almost too beautifulto be even called a night. The stars sparkled. So serene, so quiet, almost asif they had been silenced and all that remained was their shiny husks of gasand light. A 6-young girl with curly auburn hair named Alexa could feel acold draft coming in through a crack in the window. The cold chill wentthrough her like knives. The young princess shook and simply, grabbed acloth from her dresser drawer of oak and quickly ran to put the handkerchiefinto the little crack. The cold draft soon stopped coming into the cold roomand soon overtime. The cold room of stone and wood soon then turned cozyand safe with the fire that burned so brightly. The fire made the youngprincess feel so safe. Her room was her own sanctum and there was noplace that she felt more at home.Alexa drifted back to her window where she sat and gazed upon thestars. The glittering lights, she believed were angels. Alexa laughed andcould only clap her little hands I delight. The young princess jumped downwith joy and twirled all around her room. Alexa grabbed one of her dolls anddanced with it. The little doll's smile was serene and silent. A sweetembracing smiles such fitting for a tiny doll. Alexa danced and danced until,she would no longer dance anymore. Soon, the young princess grew tired,falls upon the floor of oak wood, and gazed at the ceiling. Alexa hugged herlittle doll and sat up dusting her dress of black and green. Upon the greenwas set floral patterns of flowers while the black covered to her neck andthen to her sleeves, embedded on the silky black textures where her chest isa tiny pink flower. Alexa looked at the grandfather clock and fell back once more putting her little feet on the dashboard of the craved oak. The youngprincess watched the pendulum of the clock sway back and forth makingticking sounds. Alexa joined in making her eyes sway back and forthfollowing the clock and clicking her tongue to mimic the sounds the clockmade.Time passed and Alexa's mother called upon Alexa herself. Alexa'smother's voice carried throughout the castle walls and Alexa quickly scurriedup and heeded to her mother's call. Alexa ran out the door excited to hermother back from her trip to England. The young princess jumped up anddown in excitement awaiting the untold wonders her mother had brought toshare with her. The Queen only smiled sweetly at Alexa her beautiful curlyblonde hair was tied up into a bun and her dress of green and black matchedthat of the young princess', but only slightly different as it is more poufy atthe sleeves to the bottom itself. The Queen's long tail from the bottom of herdress dragged behind her, leaving glitter that soon melted in her wake.Alexa laughed and giggled. The young princess waited for her motherto settle back down as soon as the Queen's servants placed all of herbelongings back to their respective gowns of replacement. The Queen satdown on her chair of willow wood and gold etched cravings embedded in andlooked out the window only to feel the presence of her young daughter,Alexa push herself onto her lap and sit with her as both watched the snowfallfrom their perching window. Alexa felt her mother's hand pet her hair, butnever did the Queen gaze upon Alexa eye to eye. The air was distilled andquiet. The halls echoed with the sounds of the creaking old castle. Leavingmoans and groans behind from the howling wind. Alexa gazed at her motherand could no longer hold her excitement as she smiled ever so sweetly, heryoung cooing voice barely touched the ear of her wavering mother's ear withonly one single word to gain the Queen's attention. "Mama?"The Queen gazed at Alexa and kept her eyes hidden behind a blackveil only to pet Alexa's little blushing cheek. Alexa gasped feeling hermother's cold hands. The young princess whimpered and felt somethingchanging within her mother, but maybe the passing of time had only madethat 'FEELING' of a omitted production with the reflections in her head. Alexapaid no observance to it. Only to feel the slight quaintness that was hermother. The young heiress sighed and slowly moved her eyes down thenback up to her mother's gaze one more time. Alexa once again tugged onthe Queen's sleeve to gain her utmost attention. The Queen gazed oncemore at Alexa and tilted her head. Questioning what her young daughtercould possibly want from her. Alexa gulped and gathered enough courage toask her mother about her favorite pastime tale with a slight quiver withinher young sweet voice."Mama? C-Can...you tell me the story again?" Alexa questioned, only toleave her mother giggling and soon laughing to herself. The Queen smiledand nodded in agreement to the child's plain request. Alexa patted the floorand sat comfortable waiting to hear her mother's tale. The Queen sat uponher chair and inhaled deeply taking in the cold air and then starting to tellher story to the young princess, "Long ago, when man was young and thedragon already old, people lived in peace, for they were bathed in thewarmth of light. Everyone loved the light. The light of our divineprotectors...but soon people began to fight over it. They wanted the light forthemselves. And darkness was born in man's hearts. The darkness spread,swallowing the light and many hearts of the people. It covered everything,and the world disappeared...and for our protectors.....the blessing TURNEDINTO A CURSE!!!!'' the Queen shouted with a startle of thunder and shockthat made Alexa jump up, but only the sounds of Alexa's mother's gigglescould be heard as she pats Alexa's back."MAMA! That was not funny! That story is to scary!" Alexa proclaimedstill in shock and was rather mad at her mother for her small prank. "I didnot meant to scare you my sweet cherry blossom since, I saw you so down Itried to cheer that sad little face of yours'' her mother said gently as shepulled on Alexa's cute rosy cheeks. Alexa just took a deep breath andstarted laughing as well. she looked up at her mother and asked her,"Mom...was that silly story true?" Alexa's mother made an expression ofhumor and laughed. "No sweetie of course not", she laughed once more; "Itwas meant to scare you. My mother told me the same thing when, I wasyour age...I never believed in it remember it is all a fairy tale...they are notreal Alexa..."Alexa remained in deep surprise and soon was shooed off by hermother. The young princess noticed a slight change in her mother. Neverhad the Queen ever even tried to scary any of her children and Alexa wasbaffled. The young heiress wondered where her father was and how he wasdoing. She deeply took in the idea that maybe he was still on business andleft her mother to go home and take care of her children, Alexa and herelder brother Alexander. The ticking of the old grandfather clock echoed. Thesound left a chilling reminder of the story that the Queen had told her youngdaughter, Alexa. Alexa returned to her chambers only to find her brother of11 year of age going through Alexa's things. Alexander was a cheerful boywith an incredible sense of justice. Though the young prince had his anticswith Alexa and it made her boiling mad throughout the cold long wintersahead. Alexa saw her elder brother Alexander playing knights and dragonswith her dolls. Especially with one of the dolls, she most held dear. Such adoll with a sweet smile upon its little clown face.Alexander took note of his young sister and stared at the striped blackand white doll, throwing it aside shrugging at it as he laughed to himself,"Creepy monochrome depressing clowns are not my thing."Alexa frowned and looked at her brother watching his cape hang overhis shoulder, swaying back and forth, as it disappeared along with him. Theyoung princess picked up her doll and threw it aside and quickly changedinto her nightgown. The nightfall of snow gently fell endlessly, leaving theentire kingdom in awe of the power that blanketed the meadows and housesof the people below. Alexa soon drifted off into a deep slumber her sweetdreams. The following morning, Alexa and her brother strolled down the citystreets with their mother. The children laughed and jumped up and downwith excitement. This was the day for the Festival of Fools and everyone wasdressed for the occasion. There were jugulars, fire-eaters and oddities ofdifferent natures all gathered in one place where performers of allover wouldcome to entertain the people in their mischievous antics.Alexa looked around and laughed in excitement. The young princesspulled her mother from place to place showing all that there was to see. Hermother paid not mind as if she was looking around searching for somethingthat intrigued her more than the festival itself. The Queen soon stopped andsmiled and both her children stopped. Alexa stared at her mother. TheQueen's gaze fell upon a single old tattered bright blue and purple circustent. The banners had smiles and colorful blue and purple streamers swayingback and forth in the breeze. The Queen gently pushed her children towardsthe opening of the tent and only smiled at both children. Alexa stared at hermother and felt a slight discomfort coming from the tent itself, but if hermother said it was okay then surely, it was okay to enter. Alexander gripshis sister's hand harder and both children entered the tent. Inside therewere mirrors reflecting the children's images back and forth in some prism ofcolors. Their images reflected off the mirrors and projected upon the walls.The lanterns creaked back and forth with their dimly glowing lightsthreatening to go out at any second. Alexander felt a slight chill go up his spine. A slight breath of air brushed against his neck making his hairs standup on their ends.The children shook both wanting out, but both with the desire to keepgoing. Wondering what could possibly be at the end of the maze ofreflections and illusions. Alexa wandered with her brother and soon hit theending opening of the mirror maze and at the end of the tunnel one a stagea present of beautiful purple and blue wrapping paper sat. The present hadupon its top a bow of silver and gold. The children laughed with glee and rantowards the box and both smiled at each other. Excitement swelled up withinthe children and both in sync grabbed the ends of the ribbon. Alexander tookhold of the gold end and Alexa on the silver end. The children pulled andunraveled the ribbon of silver and gold. The present's lid opened and outconfetti of many colors busted out. The smoke of pink and blue intertwinedwith each other. On the corner of the room, an old dusty piano remaineddormant. Instantly the old rusted room transformed. The smoke of pink andblue was filled with glittering stars almost as if it was magic itself. The oldplace began to come alive once again. The candles lite up in an array ofcolors and the old piano started to play on its own. A cheery yet, catchy tunecame out from the old pipes of the old organ. Two voices are heard echoingfrom the distance.Alexa hugged her brother tightly and Alexander did the same. Thechildren shook in freight, not knowing what they had done. The smoke fusedinto one color of purple and then detached from each other soon settlingdown to the ground as pink and blue. The smoke swirled and twisted intoshapes, forms, and bursts downwards leaving two magic boxes in its wake.The boxes creaked open and one frail hand was shown coming out of thepink box as soon another broader hand of a male was shown emerging fromthe blue box. The children backed away and then gazed and gasp as a gustof wind flew the box doors open as two beings jumped out and twirled. The beings laughed and jumped on a ball that they magically made and bothstood on the tip of the top of the ball, balancing themselves.The twin jester's back were facing each other back to back, bothholding each other's hands from behind as they stared at the children. Thefemale jester gazed at the children her deep magenta eyes glowed in thedark, as did the bangles on her wrists, ankles and hair. Her hair was in twinaquamarine pigtails that had gold bells at the ends that stuck out like thespikes of a porcupine from top to bottom. All the while, her jester skitswayed in the breeze. The skirt was all black but carried a pink poka-dotpattern upon it, as her top was all black with pink striped that went up anddown and from left to right. The pink neck strap upon her neck glowed aswell as her brother's neon aqua one. The brother too adorns bracelets in hishair that looked like a jester hat. The male jester's hair was in threeponytails. The ponytail was a deep neon blue color that glowed in the darkalong with the rest of his clothes. His tight clothes looked as if they were hisskin as well. The male jester wore a tight long sleeve turtleneck, which cutoff to his shoulders, which then soon followed with a tight purple long sleevethat ended with his gloved hand. Upon his lower torso he had two twin beltsthat hung down at the ends there attached is two silver bells. The malejester smirked at the children as billowed pants shook and vibrated as hejumped off the ball.The twin jesters walked towards both children and danced aroundthem both preforming tricks and magic for their everlasting delight. The bellson both of the twins' elf shoes jingled making delightful sounds everywherethey went. Alexa laughed and giggled. Alexander clapped his hands indelight. The jesters bowed and both talked in rhythm and rhyme."We serve the Queen on high our loyalty's unquestioned andunquestioned is our loyalty and until "that" day comes. We'll simply bide our time. Joined in a spiral cord. Connected forever and eternally and eternallyand forever connected. Our fates entwined. Our coincidence," both twinssmiled and grinned as their smiles both touched their circle purple coloredcheeks and kneeled to the little prince and princess both remaining silent.Alexa hugged her brother and gazed upon the multicolored jesters asthey both laughed and giggled at the children. Alexa could only whimper andshake staring at the jesters and asked, "W-Who are you..."The male jester simply smiled widely his cat like glowing a deeppurple. His eyes gazed down and simply spoke in a goofy tone. Both theGemini twins laughed and spoke both at once, "Were we one, now two.Twins or two halves, or is it the same; the same is it, one of two or not.Memories of old echo of an older time."The twin jesters both laughed and glared at the children and the bluejester squished his hands together revealing a flower for Alexa as he offers itto her as his sister offers a toy soldier to the brother. The children soonstopped frowning. Their frowns turned into sweet smiles. Alexander took thetoy, pulled on the string of the soldier, and put it on the ground watching itwalk as Alexa slowly took the flower from the blue jester and remains silent.Her quiet disposition rendered the blue jester asunder an in awe. He couldonly grin and watch as his sister smiled seeing the children pleased withtheir gifts.Alexander gazed upon the jesters and smiled at them both laughingand clapping his hands as they performed tricks for them and them only."Oh boy! That is simply wonderful! Please tell us your names!" Alexandercheerfully replied. The jesters, both laughed and spun around the childrenand giggled offering them treats to their taste buds delight as they jumpedupon a trapeze and swung high into the air. The blue male jester landedperfectly first and caught his sister, the pink jester and both spread their arms as confetti exploded from the piñatas above. Two banners in silver andgold fell down and revealed their names of the jesters. The young princelaughed and gasped in great delight about to yell their named out as hismouth his covered by the pink jester's gloved hand. "Hush and shush. Shushand hush." The pink jester replied.Both children remained silent as they were given a little music box.Alexander was about to open it, but then stopped by the blue jester andslowly looked up at him and blinked slowly. The blue jester gave instructionson how to use the box and how to see its entire splendor and the wondersthat it held within."We have been trapped her for sooo long. We are tired of being here.Trapped...We cannot leave our eternal prison, but you two...You two canhelp us were your friends. If you help us we will be at you beck and call,"the blue jester could only smile at the children and pet their sweet littlefaces. Alexander saw their sad faces and could only grieve for them both ashe nodded and smiled so cheerfully never missing a beat only to reply ingreat harmony to the jesters. "Okay! I will help you! No! Me and my sisterwill help both of you!" Alexander grabbed his sister and smiled at both of thetwin jesters.Alexa gasped and nodded no and whimpered as she sighed and couldnot help it. She nodded in agreement and remains as silent as she ever was.The blue jester kneeled, patted the music box, laughed so cheerfully, gazedinto Alexander's eyes, and told him the rules on how to use the box. "Youboth are so kind to help us. To use this box only the pure of heart may callus! Once you do we will play with you forever and finally be free of the oldcurse that binds us here. All you have to do is say this little rhyme. You mustsay it right and remember it. If you do not...we will stay here forever andnever again see the light of day. We will never be able to come and play with you both. We want someone to be our friends. So, please summon us.Please be our friends?" The blue jester smiled and so did his sister. Both ofthe jesters hugged each other and pet the children's faces not untildisappearing without leaving two cards behind. One card was blue and theother pink and both had pictures of two different types of candy. Hinting tothe names of the jesters as their voices both whispered echoing leaving achilling message. "And remember....to share..." The voices left Alexa shakingand whimpering as she stared at the box.Alexander picked both of the cards up and put them in his pocket.Alexa being as curious as she was wanted to see the box, but only could feelher brother slap her little hand away as she frowned and whimpered.Alexander stared at Alexa and nodded no. "This is not for you! You mightbreak it and besides why would I let a baby like you use it!" Alexa frownedand jumped up and down trying to get the music box only to be shovedaway by her brother as she frowns and looks at him. "Fine keep, your sillymusic box! I don't want it anyway!" Alexa crossed her arms and remainedsilent, but still. She could not hope to shake away that feeling of curiosity.Of what could happen. If she did open the box.Days past since that pastime at the festival and throughout the nightsAlexa could hear laughter coming from Alexander's room. Alexa heard herbrother all throughout the night, but still the child's curiosity grew evenmore. Was a silly little music box that two jesters gave them really that fun?How could it? Alexa had to find out. However, since that day at the festivalher brother, Alexander began to get distant. He was always locked up in hisroom, always in isolation, but the laughing never ceased. Alexa began togrow more and more worried of her brother. One cold dark night, Alexafinally mounted enough courage to go to her brother's room. The youngprincess quickly slipped on her slippers and then grabbed the lantern, lighting it in the process. Alexa slowly opened her door and tiptoed to theend of the hallway where her brother remained inside isolation.The doorknob to Alexander's room slowly turned clockwise as the doorof heavy oak slowly cracked open. Alexa looked inside seeing her brotherinside. Slowly Alexa walked into the room and whimpered. Alexa lookedaround the room and saw her brother's things on the floor. The lightsflashed on and off in her brother's room and from behind her the lightsrevealed the faint smear of blood could be seen on the walls. Alexa took nomind to it; she never turned to gaze at what is on the walls behind her. Theyoung princess looked around at the dark room and soon discovering themusic box in the very corner of the room. Quickly Alexa kneeled downplacing her lantern to the side of her and grabbing the music box her brotherheld so dear.Alexa gazed upon the music box and soon after saw that the musicbox was locked. Looking around Alexa found a shiny key on the floor withthe distinct marks engraved upon the key. Swirls and gems embedded onthe key. Alexa looked at the lock upon the music box and inserted the keyinside the lock and slowly turned it. The music box opened instantly andsoon two little jester figures stood upon a pedestal and both looked as ifthey were dancing. Alexa slowly turned the key that was behind the musicbox and the little chimes that came from the music box itself soundeddistorted.The music box began play slowly a sweet haunting tune. Alexa knewthis tune well. The tune was one her mother would sing to her every nightwhen she would tuck her in to sleep. The young princess soon followed alongsinging slowly and softly in the night as the music plays slowly. "Come littlechildren, I'll take thee away. Into a land of enchantment. Come littlechildren, the times come to play. Here in my garden of shadows..." the music soon stopped. Alexa stared at the music box, whimpered, put the box downas she looked down, and picked up her lantern as she turned around andupon her the corpse of her brother lying against the ceiling. His body twistedand mangled sticking to the ceiling. Alexa screamed and saw the body of herbrother burst up into flames.Alexa panted and backed away as she quickly leaves the music boxbehind. The hallways quickly filled with smoke and Alexa screamed for hermother and cried hard. Her tears flowed so heavily down her cheeks as shepanted heavily and whimpers. Running frantically into her mother's roomand looked around seeing the fireplace lit up lightly. The light from the fire litthe room all over in a haunting warm glow and Alexa quickly went to hermother, grabbed her hand and shook it uncontrollably. Alexa's screams andcries carried throughout the hallways as she tried to gain her mother'sattention."Mama! MAMA! Please! Please mama! Wake up! There is fire andblood! Something is wrong! Alexander! Mama please! PLEASE! He-"Alexasoon was cut off by the sound of her mother's lightly laughter, but soon isstopped abruptly as the Queen stood up and slowly turned around. TheQueen's head turned slightly and staring at Alexa, her eyes gleamed slightlight purple. Alexa panted and nodded no. The young princess backed awaybumped into something big behind her. Alexa shook and turned aroundseeing her father as she gasps and hugs him deeply thinking that he finallyreturned home from his trip. The King hugged Alexa tightly and pet Alexa'shead slowly. Petting her little back and gripping her hard.Alexa panted and cried hard screaming what had happened to herbrother. Explaining that they had to leave now before something elsehappened. The King chuckled and comforted his young daughter. "There,there my little sweet puff. There nothing wrong...yes...nothing...wrong." The King begins to grip Alexa hard and Alexa's screams are being heard. Theyoung princess slaps her father hard as she can and pushes him away withher little hands and backs away from her father. Upon seeing her father, hegets up grinning. Alexa backed away and gapes at her father. The Kingcracked his head and opened his arm and smiles only ever so sweetly. "Areyou not going to give your daddy a hug sweetie pie?"Alexa nodded no knowing that these were not her parents. Theprincess ran out the door screaming crying hoping that anyone could hearher cries. Laughter echoed through the hallways. Alexa's heart pounded andpounded harder. She panicked and cried hoping to find somewhere to hide.Alexa tried every door and eventually found a closet to hide into as soon asshe hid the smell of decay could be heard. Alexa looked behind her slowlyand hanging in the grand closet, the bodies of her parents already reeking ofweeks of decay. Alexa shuddered and backed away. Quickly Alexa ran out ofthe closet, but felt something grab her from behind and cover her mouthquickly as she pants. The young girl soon hears a hush whispered into herear and shivers as her tears flow heavily down her cheeks.A slimy feeling crept up her neck as she pants and screeches in disgustas she cries even harder and is pinned down to the ground. Alexa pleadedand cried for help for anyone someone to come, but to no avail. "Please!Please! Let me go! Who are you?! WH-" Alexa's voice is cut off by a glovedhand as her shake eyes trembled to the mere sight of the whispers thatwere coming from behind her. The male voice carried such bloodlust in itthat made young Alexa scream. The voice hinted the grand murderousschemes that this man committed. Another voice a female giggledthroughout the hallway. Her laughter echoed and coiled one with the wind.Alexa shut her eyes nodding no. Deeply wanting out, but there was no wayout. No way back. Time had cease for her and the young princess knew thiswas it. The final end to her story. The male gripped Alexa harder, clawing at her skin ripping her dressas he grinning so baleful, showing the shredding teeth that alike to razorsharp knives that would soon bite into his next victim. The female grabbedAlexa's lantern and relit it showing their faces to her. Alexa nodded no.Thinking that the twin jesters were her friends, but she was wrong. Alexawas wrong about everything. She knew, she knew at that moment in thetent something was wrong. Something was off by her so-called 'friends'.Alexa panted and whimpered as he stared at the pink jester covered in theblood of her own brother. The laughter she heard from his room she hearddays ago was his madness overtaking him. Alexander had laughed himself todeath from the antics of these twisted shattered, Gemini's. Both the jesterswere now joined in a spiral cord. Once one now deemed in front of Alexa'svery eyes were now two. Two manifestations that both played andslaughtered in a joyful unison, Alexa could not accept it. The young princessglared at the female pink jester of adoring neon colors. Alexa quickly sawher monochrome doll of black and white stripes lying on the floor from herbrother throwing it aside weeks ago. Alexa quickly grabbed the doll and byits distinctive cone shaped nose, she uses it to stab the male jester holdingher in his grip in the eye and quickly drops the doll. That doll with its neverendingsmiles almost as if it knew.The male and female jesters screeched in pain and both hissed andshrieked in deep anger, both turned into pink and blue mistlike from beforeand combine into one purplish gas of glitter and confetti. The gloves rippedapart from the combined jesters' hands as they developed into claws. Theface ripped open from both sides showing its sharp rezoning teeth drippingwith the flesh and blood from Alexander. The hell bound fool soon charged atAlexa. Alexa ran and screamed running towards the fire that burned sobrightly. The same glow that she found so comforting in her room within herown fireplace. Quickly Alexa ran into her brother's burning room and looked for the music box that held the twin jesters now combined into some hellbound creature. Alexa panted and searched frantically screaming andyelling."Where is it?! WHERE IS IT?!" Alexa could not think straight, her heartpounded and she heard a cracking of the wood and the fall of the first towerfrom the castle. The fire has already reached the pinnacle peak of the baseof the tower both below and in the ceiling itself. Embers of wood crackled itspread from the grand hallways to Alexa's parent's bedroom. Alexa heard adeep growl of the twin jesters combined voices from behind her. She quicklyturned around and sees the neonic hell bound clawing at the walls and thenclimbing on the ceiling like some spider searching for its pray. Alexascreamed making the Gemini catch her attention towards her. The youngheiress backed away and screamed seeing the beast open is gaping mouthand wrapping its long tongue around her left leg. Alexa screamed and criedin upmost horror, she quickly looked around and grabbed a burning plank ofwood and threw it in the beast's eyes. The fused shattered jester screechedand backed away banging it's head on the floor.The Gemini began to glitch repeatedly and within that it instant splitback into the twins. Both twins laughed at once and the jester of neon bluesoon got back up. He swayed back and forth and got up quickly seeing hissister grinning just staring at him and nodding silently. The berry blue jestergasped and slowly turned his head towards Alexa and stared at her as heslaps the falling wood away from him. Alexa is then picked up by the end ofher collar and rose to the burning flames screaming begging to be released."Please! Please! S-Stop!" Alexa kicked and screamed. The virile cobaltfool would have none of it and slammed Alexa to the ground grinningmanifesting a hammer of many colors. Alexa felt the azure fool's elf likebelled boot push against her ribs breaking some in the process. The temperature grew higher and flames more violent with each passing minute.Alexa heard the grandfather clock ticking back and forth going backwards.Time was running out and Alexa screamed upon seeing the giant mallet'sfrontal face engraved with a smiley face sent down upon her. Alexa gaspedand grabbed burning ash and throws it into the jester's face making himscreech an unholy screech. The windows break and the ground shakesheavily with one blow the fires cease and the snow breaks into where thebroken windows once were. Alexa backed away and scooted staring at theirate jester.The azure haired jester panted glaring at Alexa through one eye ashalf of his face burnt off. He could only smile. Smiling his ever so wickedsmile and slowly sways back and forth walking towards Alexa and clawing atthe walls pushing her against it as he leans in so closely towards her ear andwhispers in a deep growling voice, "Do you believe in fairytales now mydear?" Alexa gasped as the creature mimicked the voice of her mother. Asall this time her mother, whom she loved so dearly was long dead. The burntundistinguished bodies that hung in the closet she hid in were indeed that ofher parents. Alexa nodded no and screamed trying to push the jester of blueand purple off her as she feels a sharp pain on her chest and screams outunholy shrieks of horror. Alexa slapped and feels the jester claw at her skinripping it to shreds. The young heiress' vision starts to fade as she seesherself fall to the ground and only sees a blurry image of the azure jestergazing back down at her grinning, laughing, mocking her. The jester pickedup the music box from under the rubble and turned the key and put the boxdown leaving it open for Alexa to listen to the distorted tune chiming in theair. The fool could only laugh and walk away out into the white blanketedfields of snow and ice. Only to gaze back at Alexa saying his final words."Now you will share the curse. Remember child. Always share."The cobalt jester was soon joined hand in hand with his sister, as bothwere finally free to spread their games and lessons on. Sharing. The nextday all that remained from the fire was the remains of a once grandkingdom. Brought down over night. Upon the walls of the grand clock towerwriting in blood of the many decapitated victims were two names both withsmiling faces drawn next to the names. The words, "Candy Pop and CandyCane" was endowed upon the wall of the clock tower for all who passed byto see and as for young Alexa all that remained was a closed music box anda doll that smiled ever so gently.
