The mayor turned around to see what Sorceress was doing, since she had her back to them. She turned around with a serious look on her face, only to raise her eyebrows as if to say 'what?' as if something was bothering her.
"You're weird. You're strange. And I don't like you.", the mayor spoke as he angrily starred down at her, "You're freaking out these kids, while being so creepy and living all by yourself.".
"I'm not creepy.", Sorceress said as she frowned, "You're correct, I do talk to demons, yes.", she said with a sweet chuckle, "But it's only for fun!".
"Right? You guys love it when I do my little... you know?", she asked the children who were by their parents. They all nodded happily, since it was the best thing ever to them.
"Well, the fun's over", the mayor interrupted, "Go back to the circus, you freak. And make yourself a favor, don't try to get yourself in our way, because it will lead to some very bad consequences.".
Sorceress' smile soon faded, she had heard this words before, the last town she moved to had a violent way of kicking her out. But she won't be leaving that easy. After hearing the mayor say that there will bad consequences, the adults began to talk among themselves, some began to worry that they would be forced to hurt her while others seemed prepared. The children on the other hand seemed worried, they know that she never hurt them, it would hard if they had to hurt her.
"You're trying to creep me out, is that what you're trying to do?", she asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
The mayor could only sigh in response.
"You know what, let's play a game. Everyone here loves games, right!?" Sorceress asked in a raised voice, "YEAH!?", she asked again, then clapped her hands twice, and loud.
"LET'S PLAY!".
The children immediately started to smile, her games have always been fun.
"The first person to gets creeped out, has my permission to leave this place. Does that seem fair to you?", Sorceress asked as she once again folded her arms across her chest in patience. Most of the adults began to beg that they wanted to leave. But the mayor wasn't having it, "I don't play games with creepy freaks.", he said.
"Being rude is not one of my rules here.", she said in a strict angry tone.
"Yes, I - I agree. There's no need to be rude. You have a very pleasant home, but I'm afraid some of us are a little tired,", a woman spoke up trying to reason with her.
Sorceress smiled as if she understood what the lady meant. But then started to cut her off by snapping her fingers as if to say 'I haven't finished yet'.
That made the poor woman to be silenced.
"Are you going to leave? Or do I have to hurt you.", The mayor said as he tried his best to threaten her. Once again, some of the adults began to talk among themselves in worry, especially the children. Then, Sorceress started to laugh, "You really are trying to creep me out.", she said as smiled softly, "Well that leaves me with no other option, maybe I have to creep you out. Let the game begin.".
Sorceress soon turned around for a minute, taking a deep breath. When she face the crowd again, she gently blew on the palm of her right hand. She is ready.
"Tell me this, do you think that this is creepy?", Sorceress asked with a small giggle, then she crossed her eyes and stuck out her tongue playfully. Immediately, some of the adults and children started to laugh or giggle, others were becoming extremely annoyed by her actions.
"That's stupid.", the mayor complained, "That's not funny!".
Everyone then stopped laughing.
"Alright, alright. Jeez", Sorceress said as if she feels intimidated, "How about this?", she asked again. She turned her head only to cough a little before turning back around.
She then used her pointer fingers to stretch the sides of her mouth, while making small movements.
The laughing and giggles started up again, and so did the annoyance.
"That creep you out?", Sorceress asked again. "Did you even heard what I just said? It's time for you to leave.", the mayor said angrily, interrupting the fun.
"̧ †Ḩ ÇRÈÈþ¥!?!?!?!", Sorceress asked, her voice suddenly turned demonic, like the Devil took control of her body.
She dug deep inside to the back of her eyes, yanked them out and held them up between her fingers for the crowd to see, while smiling wickedly. Everyone started to scream and back away in horror, they never seen anything like it. Sorceress then pushed her eyes back inside her head, making her look normal, although she wasn't smiling and her look seemed more cold or dark.
The crowd began to slowly back away, they were all very terrified.
But Sorceress wasn't done yet. She opened her mouth, grabbed the tip of tongue and pulled it all the way down to her waist, with her eyes wide open.
The screams began grow louder, the horror was getting to be too much for everyone.
When she finally released her tongue, it snapped right back inside her mouth in a flash, making everyone jump.
It was quiet again, but it didn't last long.
Sorceress grabbed her jaw and twisted it violently, making it look like she snapped her own neck. But only when she turned around, her face revealed a distorted skull with the eyes glowing yellow and the jaw line dripping in blood.
Everyone's screams, by now, were both terrified and loud.
Sorceress started to laugh, which was in an insane and horrific tone, while also smiling and grabbing her hair. This act was so terrifying, everyone started to take off running towards the Ballroom doors, thinking they can get away. Nobody noticed Sorceress grab her jaw again and twisting it like she did before, only that it made her face go back to normal. She looked up to see the crowd run off and made a swish/grab motion with her left arm, casting a spell of her own.
The adults were just only a meter away from the doors, when both began to quickly slam shut, making sure no one leaves.
The whole crowd stops, realizing that they are now trapped in the one room with this girl they call weird.
The fun has started...
