Majinxes (Paused)

You're NOT Missy

     I stood silently as I watched the imposter. Tom seemed to note my sudden mood change and was by my side in an instant. Growling loudly. The imposter looking rather bored as they looked at me. "Ugh, this was a waste of time." The image of Missy melted in front of my eyes. Leaving behind a tall skinny male. "Who knew a Stone would be so hard to fool." I held onto Tom as the unknown male looked at me. He didn't have a secondary eye color. He wasn't a majinx. I stepped back. All my confidence melted away. "W-what are you?" I trembled a bit as he walked closer to me. "Oh dear. Have I scared you?~ Oh, mighty Stone?" A chilling smile spread across his face as he leaned past my personal space bubble. "You- You didn't answer my qu-question." He chuckled a bit before leaning back. "Well my dear.~" He bowed a bit. "I am a Minx. Not the cat. A son of a human father and a Majinx mother." He smirked and stood straight. As if expecting applause. 

     I had heard of Minxes once before. Though they are exceptionally rare. Especially a male one. Usually when a Majinx has a child with a human. That child is human as well. Sometimes they can learn how to use magic but they can't just harness it as a Majinx can.

     My arm crystalized as I stood in a fighting position. "Honestly. Do you really think you can defeat me? A majinx that hasn't even fully formed yet?" Tom barked aggressively as he stood his ground. "From what I have seen, you can only change your appearance. Doesn't seem all that formidable to me." He hummed while tilting his head. "Yes, you are correct. However, I can be anyone." He held out his arms and began to change into my mother. "Your mother, your father, your best friend, your teacher. Honestly, there isn't one person I can't change into!" I watched in silent horror as he changed into everyone I knew while he spoke. Except, something strange happened when he tried to change into Aunt Stitch. She didn't look right. 'Her star! He can't copy abilities.' He smirked, clearly assuming I hadn't noticed his little flaw. I acted like I hadn't noticed, taking a step back in fear. "You can't trust anyone, Doll." That is where he was wrong.

       A large shard of quartz shot out of the ground and sliced his face. He stood there shocked as I smirked. "You assumed I ever trusted anyone, to begin with. We do you think I'm alone in the middle of the night." I held my arms out. "My family hides things from me. Don't you think that would warrant some suspicion?" The quartz withdrew as I crossed my arms. "I'm not the weak Majinx you think I am. I am the daughter of Diamond Stone and Proto." I slammed my fist into my chest and held it there. "Whether or not I am fully formed is irrelevant! I will beat you." The ground below his feet suddenly became unstable and he sunk in. All the way down to his knees. As if it was quicksand before it solidified. Trapping him. He looked so panicked as the illusion of my aunt melted away. "I suggest you run away and don't you dare mess with me nor my family." I could see the blood drain from his face before nodding violently. The ground released him and he ran off into the night. 

     I sighed as I looked down at my still crystallized arm. Most of what I said was a lie. Just something to get him to leave me and my family alone. My arm slowly returned to its normal form with only a faint pain in my joints. "Wow, honestly I thought you were going to kill him. You seem to have gotten your mother's intimidation down pat though." I turned around quickly and was met with... Stitch? No, her face was the same but her hair was black with a pastel green stripe in it and her eyes had the same shade of green with a pink outer rim. Not to mention that she had one eye covered, the opposite eye that Stitch usually had covered. "You're-" She cut me off. "Stitch's older sister, Mangle." She bowed playfully. "So nice to meet the Princess of the Stone family." I backed up a bit and looked around for Tom. At some point, he had disappeared. "Don't worry about that pup. He will be fine." She stood straight before giving me a chilling smile. "Though, I can't say the same for you, dear." I raised an eyebrow. "Is that a threat?" She scoffs and rolls her visible eye. "No. I'm saying that you are in danger, but I'm not the one you should worry about. Stitch would have my head if I hurt you."

    She clicked her tongue before examining me. "Well, you are a fascinating case. I wouldn't mind experimenting on you a bit." She turned my head left and right. "It seems like you are a bit stunted. Pity." I pulled my face away from her hand. "What do you mean?" She shrugged before lifting my arm. "Well, there are several stages that a Majinx will go through. As you know." I felt her push on my wrist lightly. "You seem to haven't moved past the third." A small glint of metal in my wrist made her hum. "You exhibit pain, right?" I nodded a bit as I stared at the weird bit of metal. Mangle picked at my wrist a bit before I heard and felt a snap. It was painful. I held back a scream of shock as Mangle pulled out a four-inch-long metal blade. "An ingrown blade." I stared at the large chunk of metal. "Holy shit. Wha- How- WHAT?!" Mangle shrugged as she smashed the blade into a fine powder. "You can blame your father if you want to. He is where you got the blades. You should be careful. This happens often." She gestures for me to give her my other hand. I gave it to her. "Especially if you don't monitor how long these blades get." She pushed in the same spot as she did with my other hand. This time the blade came out in its entirety. It was shorter than the other blade by about an inch but Mangle snapped it off anyway. It wasn't as painful this time. Like pulling out a thorn. "You should ask your father about how to tend to your blades." She let go of my arm. I rotated my hands a bit. They felt so much better and smoother. "Any pain anywhere else?" I tilted my head, thinking. "No, that is about it." Mangle hummed softly as she sat down on the bench. "Don't you have something to check out?" I swore heavily as I ran for the school. "Thank you!!" 

~~~Third person's POV~~~

   Mangle watched Crystal go before lighting a cigarette. "Poor child, your life is only beginning to get harder." She took a long breath of the cigarette before letting the gray smoke out of her mouth. "Not that you care though. Might as well come out of the shadows!" A tall male walked out from the ground and took the cigarette out of Mangle's mouth. "You know that isn't true, dear abomination." She scoffed as she held a hand over her heart. "You wound me. Me? An abomination? How dare you!" He rolled his eyes. "You aren't wounded at all." Mangle scoffed as she leaned against bench. "This isn't fair."

"Life isn't fair."
