‘’As you can see, you all have your
wishes. And I have things to grant those wishes! You have what I want,
information and secrets or ways to get those. And I’m prepared to pay grandly for them!’’ the imp shrieks with
laughter and a third picture arrives. It is a beautiful, new, shining castle,
so filled to the brim with gold and treasures that it’s falling out of the
windows.
More than one of our guests are
hesitating, words obviously waiting on their tongues to be said. Hesitantly,
Lady Annajuliet raises one of her shaking hands. The imp gets a look on his
face that would be very funny if not in this situation, a cross of surprise and
playfulness. ‘’Yes, m’dear?’’ he shrieks loudly. ‘’What… what do you want to
know?’’ Lady Annajuliet says with a shaking voice, putting her hand down. ‘’IT
ALL!’’ He shrieks, doubling over in laughter. ‘’I want to know about them {he
points to a couple}, I want to know about them
{another couple is pointed to}, and I most certainly
want to know about THEM!’’ he
cackles, pointing at Andrew and I. He walks over to the edge of the table where
Andrew and I are seated and leans sideways on it, resting his elbow on the
table and his head on his hand. He’s facing me and separating us.
‘’Hmm? Hmm? Got anything juicy to tell me? Anything at all, I
want to know it all!’’ he cackles crazily, the weirdest expression on his face
of trying to be serious but laughing too much to be.
I stare at him, I stare at his
vileness; and it all sickens me. ‘’Get away from me,’’ I say, evenly, staring
into his eyes. I try not to make my voice quaver, to put all the command I can
muster into my voice. ‘’Testy, aren’t we?!’’ he cries, springing back from the
table like it burned him.
‘’I desire to know something,’’
Andrew says tersely through gritted teeth as the imp dances wildly around the
table. ‘’And what would that be?’’ the imp asks, making his eyes wider and
leaning in closer to Andrew so it seems he is curious. ‘’If we are to be friends I must know your
name. You know mine, so tell me your’s,’’ Andrew demands.
‘’I said I wanted to make friends, not make
friends with you!’’ the imp laughs
wildly. ‘’But,’’ he says, after seeming to consider it for a while, ‘’Give me
something I’ll want and I’ll tell you my name.'' All of that part was my favorite, but it was much too long to put it all in here, so..... yeah. By the way, some of you might be curious about my first Snow White novel. It is on the internet but it's on a private blog. If you would like to read it I'd need your email to give you access on the private blog. You can email me here:

Awesome!!! That's really cool... I need to read your books!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Snow White is actually the only series/books I have on my private blog. Another start of a book is ''bugging'' me, though, and it's actually a really good plot. I think I might have to do it....
