Just Another Fairy Tale: Trail to the Dark Side

Chapter 5: Warning

After the incident we rushed to the nearest abandoned house we could find. We had no idea where we were but we were determined to find out.

It was negative five out and we had to heat. Hell, it's the fucking 1100th century. ... but luckily there was a fireplace. We grabbed some blankets from a cabinet in the house and we all curled up by the fireplace to keep warm. In the morning we awoke to Antony rummaging around in the kitchen. I was still half asleep but managed to get up.

I mumbled in a groggy voice, "What you doin'? ..."

He opened another pantry to find nothing but bare shelves.

"All these pantries and f-ing empty! Nothing to eat! I swear, we're gonna starve. We have had no food when food is an option and know we are starving and there is no food..."

"Just shut your trap Antony, we'll be fine!" I groaned.

Landon and Fauna got up, a little annoyed.

"Well know I'm up!" Landon moned.

"Fuck Antony, you couldn't just keep quiet for once?!"

"Oh yeah?!" Antony said as if trying to start something with Fawn again.

"Oh yeah!"

"Hold on you two. We don't wanna start another Fauna and Anthony dilemma now do we? Hell, Lanons witnessed enuff."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Aww!"

"LANDON!"

" ... sorry..."

We all slumped down at on the couch near the fireplace. We were silent for quite a long time, zoning out at crackling fire.

"Okay," I hyped trying to break the silence, "I think that we all have kinda been avoiding the elephant in the room."

"And that would be...?" Fauna gestured with her hand.

"My f-father is going to ki-K I L L my m-mother" I tuff letting those words escape my cracked lips.

Antony looked at me with pity, "Oh Zofia..."

A mumble spread across the room. They just don't get it. My father, my beloved fucking playing father, was gonna murder my whacked out mother so he could kiss a murderous villains criminal. Just a heads up, no one is who they seem to be. Ever.

I finally ended the mutter, "Just shut the f up dudes! I know what my father said and I know who my family is so don't pity me! I have a valid point for bringing this up."

"Zozo, we..." Landon spoke out but I just couldn't deal with any emotions so I spoke out again.

"No, just let me talk. We need to do something now. ...and we cannot tell my mother..."

"But!..."

"No butts, we just can't."

I stood up to show how furious I was. "We're in a hell of a rut and telling my mother won't change a thing. In Fact, that would make it worse. We need to get back to the castle asap. I don't know how to be if we start walking we'll get there someday so come on." I gestured to the door with my hand.

"But what about..."

"We can get something to eat once we get on the rode Antony!"

"Yes!!!"

He started his happy dance as we all began walking out of the musty old house and we were on our way... we'll... outta here.

"Hitchin' a ride- do do do do do do- hitchin' a ride-do do..."
