2, A Mystical Land
Long long ago in a mystical land were people could change from one thing to another. There lived a little girl and her fathers. The girl was perhaps fortunate in one way she had two fathers , one who liked her and one who despised her. The girl grew up happy to be with one and unhappy when near the other . The father she liked was a gentle lamb, never shouted or called her names . Never made her feel worthless or unwanted.
The other father called her names and did make her feel worthless. This one was like a great big angry old bear with an iron fist, and a very sore head. The lamb and the bear two very different fathers. It may have seamed a strange kind of life to the outsider but it was quite normal to her. But there was tragedy waiting around the corner. Time never stands still not even when it is wished so. The little girl grew up all too soon. The girl visited the lamb one day when he was on his own he changed from being a lamb into a monster. The girl was so frightened she couldn’t move, she wanted to but she couldn’t. She wanted to push him away scream anything but she was frozen. Eventually the spell of fear was broken and she ran away and hid.
After a while she went home maybe her bear father was right she was bad, Time past and the monster died She was sad because she had not seen him since that day and she had missed him. She couldn’t have gone back because she was a bad creature and she didn’t want him to do anything like that again In her confusion hate and anger she chose to torment the bear with the iron fist. The bear would pay and pay dearly for all that had happened in her life. For all that pain and misery he would pay. First with his tears then with his high principals a broken heart and then eventually if necessary with his life.
