The Demon And The Guard

Error

Katelyn:

When I open my eyes, I'm no longer in my room. Everything is dark and blurry. Im laying in what appears to be grey grass. I sit up, my eyes adjusting after a moment and I gape at the sight before me. Lava falls, coming out from every which way, a blood red sky and grey vegitation. It was creepy. My first thought was the nether, that I might be trapped in that hell of a demension, but something about this place is different. Its... not as scary, I think.

I use my unusually weak legs to shakily stand and look around again, noticing a path I didn't on the ground. The perfect brick path stuck out like a kind of sore thumb, in the place that it was. I walk to the path, feeling the warm stones underneath my feet as I walk. It was very hot with all the lava around.

I reach the path and walked onto it, screaming a bit as an annoying voice whispers in my ear "Which way do you go?
to wild? to castle? I'll guide you in tow, It will be no hassle." I turn on my heel to only find no one there to whisper. "Huh? Oh.... magicks..." the voice comes back with its same little rhyme as I did not answer. "Which way do you go? To wild? To castle? I'll guide you in tow, it will be no hassle." I sigh and reply so It would shut up "to castle. Aphmau's castle."

The whisper remains silent for a while. I start to walk away when it replies "The castle I know not, though I know one close. The castle you sought, maybe one of them knows?" I roll me eyes. This rhyme thing is getting kind of tidius. "Yeah, okay. Tell me the way then."

The voice is almost back immidiately "to your right, on the path. Stay on the brick. Ive done the math. You'll get there quick." I nod and walk to my right, being sure to stick to the path.

I feel my heart speed up and I look around when I continue to walk into what apears to be black, leafless trees. It looks like they were burned, but they clearly were not ... its really creepy. I start walking up a hill and I feel my muscles complaining. I reach the top and take a moment, finally looking out and staring. This was the biggest castle I have ever seen. Ever.

"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" I turn to see the horse coming right at me. I scream, as I cant move and the rider tries to stop, and almost doesn't, but my face is so close to the horse I start crying.
"Who do you think you are?! Standing in the road like that. I should've run you over!" I dont look up, still crying "Im sorry, Im sorry! I didn't mean to! I couldn't move!" The man upon the horse growls, getting off his horse and holding the reins in his hand "You're such a baby! Stop crying!" I try to stop, failing, and looking up at the man. He was....grey. His hair was pure white and his eyes were a glowing purple. If this wasnt scary enough, he had deep purple horns coming from his head. As I stare, he scowls, showing off his fangs. He put his grey hand on my shoulders and shook me, yelling "ANSWER ME YOU LAME EXCUSE OF A DEMON." I manage to take a step back and yell back. "IM NOT A DEMON." He softens suddenly, blinking "wait.... Are you from....there?" His hands tighten on my shoulders and I hit them away "What are you talking about?! DONT TOUCH ME. WHO ARE YOU?!" He takes his hands back with a grimace. "IM THE PRINCE.....IM PRINCE TR-"

I sit up in bed in a sweat, real tears running down my cheeks. "What the hell was that....?
