Fairy Tales were always Layna's favorite type of books. But that didn't mean she wanted to be in one. While she took pleasure in disappearing amongst the pages and forgetting the real world the last thing, she wanted was to be in one.
Yet here Layna is. The moment she saw the Fairy Tale change she should've dropped the book and ran. But now here she is.
Layna looked around the castle as she slid against the stone wall her eyes on the horrid creature in front of her. It was massive. It had the body of a bear with the head of a wolf and large moose antlers on its head.
The only relieving thing about it was that it was asleep. Layna silently crept up the staircase. When the fairy tale changed Layna didn't think much of the two characters until she saw herself and everything went dark.
Now here she was in her favorite book but with the plot madly twisted by the other character. The one who was in the room at the top of the stairs.
Layna had traveled here and was hoping this character would be her way home. All she had to do was get to him now. His castle was guarded by many terrifying creatures, but Layna managed to sneak past many of them.
She now silently went up the steps to the top where the room was as she opened the door and stepped in her eyes sweeping over the room. Then they landed on the man sitting in a throne as he looked up and smiled.
"Well hello sweet Layna." Layna stiffened as his name fell from her lips.
The door swung shut behind Layna and she turned around.
"How do you know my name?" Layna asked and he smiled.
"I brought you here, of course I would know your name. I'm incredibly pleased to see you got past my pets." He said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Layna asked.
"I think you mean to ask what I am?" He asked and Layna glared. "My name is Atticus and I brought you here." Atticus murmured.
"I want to go back home." Layna responded and he laughed.
"Oh, sweet Layna, you can't go back home now, this is your new home." Atticus motioned around him with a smile.
"You can't keep me here." Layna responded and he smiled.
"Oh Layna, I already am. Now be a darling and come here. We have a lot to catch up on. And don't worry anything that happens here is what I caused, I'm the story master now."
