Despite my pleads and reasoning, my wicked stepmummy She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was against the idea of socializing at midnight. To make sure I couldn’t go, she ordered me do the household chores, washing dishes and cleaning loos. Servant stuffs.
I sneak downstairs and saw the Wicked Witch of the World waiting at the bottom. Waiting for me.
Drat.
She knows that I would defy her. And with what I’m wearing, I can’t reason out that I’m just returning the broom to the closet.
“Dear, you’re going dressed as that?!” she looks incredulous, “You aren’t a princess Cinderfella, you’re a witch – dress like one!”
I hate it when she calls my full name, I prefer Fella. “Well, I can’t wear my black raggedy clothes. And besides, this is a costume party, mum.”
“Never mind. Here, have a cup of vodka before you go.”
I can’t believe it! She does not ground me or something. I grip the glass of red bubbly liquid and take a swig. It tasted like rotten apples – sweet, and bitter with tang of..poison.
For a moment I’m paralyze. My body feels heavy, lifeless.
“Be still, sweetie,” she whispers, “you’re lucky I didn’t turn you into a four-legged amphibian like Prince Charming, the magic mirror had even suggested ripping your heart out. Now say goodnight to mummy, because you’ll be sleeping for a looong, loooong time”
No. _______________________________________________________________________________Hmmm..I think this isn't spooky. Lol :-P
Anyway I was never good in making scary stories, that I honestly admit.
This is my first entry in deviant for the Halloween Contest! Don't complain about it being too short and bitin, the rules only allow a minimum of 250 words. I'd love to add how Fella managed to stay awake despite the sleeping spell of the wicked witch and that Prince Charming is gonna be included for the witch's special Halloween recipe - choclait frogs! whahhahaLabels: decepticon, fantasy, feature, jumpy, ken chua, literature, monsters

Ken Chua would no longer go underground unless the notorious Martial Law II is declared. He is partly convinced that all his pent-up thoughts are spilled in this account.
