Magic Or Tragic?

Chapter 9: King?

The door slowly creeps open revealing a very strange looking creature. Chicken legs, rug like torso, octopus arms, an eagle head, and red eyes. I let out a petrified gasp causing every ounce of my sanity to vanquish. It was in that split second that the beast's snapped his head up, our eyes meeting instantly. I was dying inside as it inched toward me menacingly. Unable to move any parts of my body I just sat and stared. Then it hit me like the shit a monkey throws at predators. If it really wanted me dead it could've done it already. Maybe they want me for something more. I didn't realize but the creature had gotten closer to me in my time of contemplation.

"It" began to climb into bed with me. I quickly move to the other side creating as much room apart on the bed as possible. I decided this place was too new to get up and start roaming. Plus I had this bird thing watching me so I have to be careful. Especially since this is a new world, maybe even universe, so I don't know what to expect. The creature speedily moves in front of me trying to open my legs. That was the last straw with this weirdo. I'm going to kick this perverts ass. I think to myself preparing to fight. I kick the beast right in its face causing it to screech loudly and very angrily. As the animal regains his strength, quite quickly I might add, it tries to pounce on me causing me to scream in fear of losing my comrades, this journey, and most importantly not making it back to see my mom.

I put up my hands, them shaking profusely, and everything stops. I can see the specimen very closely now as it was opening it's beak. Hundreds of sharp teeth ready to have it's first meal. I cautiously get up, hoping that whatever that is won't move anytime soon.

As I exit the room I begin to wander (not knowing what awaits me in the very near future). I turn the corridor carefully after walking down a very narrow hallway. What's surprising is that big ass monster was able to fit. Like honestly what kind of contortionist are they? When I make my way down the corridor I open the door in front of me to see a gigantic room. In the room there is a throne that looks to be some guy at the top of. Oh shit who is that their king? What if I get caught? Wait, where's Dre and Coraline. And low and behold they're both in the room in shackles. Dre and Coraline's clothes are ripped and they are bleeding. What do I do?! Why does some rando want Coraline and Dre? And what the hell is he going to do with them?!

So I do the only thing I can do. I stupidly run to Coraline and Dre flailing my arms like an idiot. About half way I get stopped by an enormous platypus (no it's name is not Perry). The Platypus scoops me up and wraps me in it's tail.

"Ahhhh!" I screech.

"Halt Demitrious." The man on the throne finally says seeming to be a bit agravated. The Platypus immediately stops holding me in its tail which results me in falling onto the hard marble flooring.

"God fucking damn it!" I hiss at the pain exerting from my abdomin.

"Jessie! Dre calls out from across the room sending me a concerning look. I wince at the pain I'm enduring but I try to crack a smile.

"Bring the girl named 'Jessie' to me." He ordered one of his henchman. A hunchback quickly runs toward me and picks me up. Then he ran me to his leader who was still relaxing on him throne might I add.

"Here you are my king." The servant says as if we're in the 1700's. Then the hunchback quickly put me down and waddled off. I just roll my eyes at how important the social hierarchy is here. I realize that the king is staring at me like I am some sort of jewel. Since I'm am obviously pissed that my friends are in chains I decided to not play nice.

"Now then if you truly are the Jessie they speak of then I need to have a word with you." The king of this so-called palace says to me sternly.

"Piss off bitch." I retort so nonchalantly that it takes him by surprise. I smirk feeling quite accomplished that I was able to do that much. But to my surprise, and dismay, he actually started laughing.

"You must have great power to talk to me so rashly. Either that, or you're pretending to have balls but you're really scared that I am going to kill your sort of disgusting way of speaking to me. Do you even know who I am? Or did sir Dre and madame Coraline not tell you who I am yet?" He says in a snide manner. I look at him confused. Sir Dre and madame Coraline. Why did he say their names like that they're not royalty. Or are they? I mean he is polite but I don't  think it goes that far does it? I have to ask it's either now or never.

"What do you mean?" I question unsure if I'll  like his answer.

"Did you really think you were just some average human that they happen to stumble across? It was all a calculated move. You're not who you think you are. Or did you already know that?" He raises and eyebrow but by my body language he clearly can see I have no idea of what he is insinuating.

"Tell me more." I say hesitantly trying not to get scared and back down at the last second.
