To New Things?

Chapter 13: The Visit

SUNDAY 10:05AM

"SPACE UNICORN! FLYING THROUGH THE STARS! DELIVERING THE RAINBOWS ALL AROUND THE WORL-"

"Ug! So annoying.."

Star hit her alarm clock, sitting up and yawning. She got off her bed and stretched, walking to her closet.

"Let's see... what should I wear on this Sunday morning?"

"I'd go for the maroon. It's great with your complexion."

"Oh. Thanks!"

She gasped at the sound of that voice and before she could grab her bat, he turned her around and pressed a dagger to her stomach.

"Shh.. no need for that, Star Butterfly. I just have a few questions. So work with me here. If you scream, you die. Got it?"

She nodded as tears came to her eyes.

"Good. Do you know who I am?"

She nodded again as he looked her deep in her cold, blue eyes.

"Say my name."

"T... T-Toffee."

She mumbled.

"Excellent! Very good."

"Look... T-take whatever you want. Just please don't kill me."

She spoke shakily as he chucked.

"I don't want your things. I want complete honesty. If you give me that, I'll let you go. Deal?"

"Yes. Deal."

"Alright. Let's cut to it. Where is the Prince?"

She felt a chill go down her spine.

"H-Huh?"

"Prince Marco, of Mewni. Where is he?"

"I... I don't know who you're t-talking about."

"Oh really?"

He began digging the blade into her skin, and she tried to scream. He covered her mouth.

"What did I tell you about screaming!?"

He whisper-yelled. Tears filled her eyes.

"You're not being honest with me, Miss Butterfly. We had a deal."

Star shook her head. Now she was crying.

"Protecting him I see? Okay enlighten me. Why do you think he's here?"

She mumbled under his hand. He laughed.

"Not quite. See he's looking for a queen so he can officially become a king."

Star looked Toffee deep in his eyes, shaking her head.

"Earth girls are just gullible aren't they? Ya know what I'm getting bored so.. why don't we just get this over with."

He plunged the dagger deeper into her, and she screamed at the top of her lungs.

. . .

"Star!! Wake up!"

"NO GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU BASTARD!!"

She reached her fist up.
