The Goblin Bride

Mikan Yukihira woke up suddenly, she questioned her surroundings with heavy confusion. She doesn't remember much of anything, but for some reason her mind was set on looking for a yellow brick road to lead her out of a never-ending maze, and getting away from creepy-looking creatures.

She looked around and saw her stuffed animals lining the shelves, with framed paintings of carousel horses hanging on the pastel-pink walls. She sighed in relief, taking in that everything was just a dream, and she was back safely in her room.

Mikan got out of her bed, sinking her bare feet in the fluffy pink rug, and walked to her nightstand. She gingerly picked up her delicate jewelry box, and when she opened it, a tiny princess and prince were

“My name is Natsume Hyuuga, King of the Goblins. How would you like all of your dreams to come true, starting with your wish of wanting to become a princess bride?” He asked her with a hint of hypnotism in his tone.

A red flame ignited itself on the palm of his gloved hand, she stared at it completely mesmerized. She saw her dreams flashing before her, switching to different ones, and she felt compelled to touch the flame.

Mitsuki glared at the Goblin King, and said through clenched

    A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

    What I believed to be the cold dead hands of the grim reaper plucked me off the ground and dragged me up the hill. A light much brighter than a million suns filled my eyes, and I heard someone with a formal voice call my name. To keep the light out of my eyes I kept them close passing back out and waking up when the carriage I was in ran over a rock in the middle of the dirt road. Samuel and Julia were siting across from me or at least I thought I saw them until Julia blew a cloud of green specks that sparkled like stairs into my face. The specks traveled up my nose and down my throat causing me to fall back to sleep.…
