The unicorn straightened up,huffing and shaking his head. I stared,mesmerized. "Here corny corny corny"i cooed.
Okay, in hindsight, that's the cringiest way to call to a unicorn but, in my defense, my vocab skills had taken a little vacation since I saw him,her or whatever.
I called to it again.on the third time the unicorn snorted and looked at me, its eyes narrowing. I extended my hand, still a foot or two away from it. I wanted it to come to me. I called again. "Cooorny coome on. come on here come to mama corny." It harrumphed, narrowed its eyes at me,stamped a hoof and lowered its head.
I frowned. Did it want me to touch its horn? I guess the stories were wrong that they don't like their horn touched. But some thing was nagging at the back of the mind, something about its posture. Horses don't behave like this, I thought as I saw it pawing at the ground. This unicorn was behaving like a bull.
Just then the bull--er, unicorn--charged. I jumped to the side but fell. I avoided getting stabbed but got a hoof to the calf. Holy pope that hurts!
I hurriedly scrambled up and faced the supposedly nice,kind and majestic animal. Nice my ass, the barking pain in my calf was testament to that. I felt as if i bench pressed an elephant with that leg. Who ever made that story about nice unicorns, hope they died burning at a stake or were stabbed, just like I would be any minute.
"Hey, is it because I called you corny? I'm sorry about that"
The unicorn paused.
"Its just that unicorn is such a mouthful," I continued." And you cant babify the name unicorn so I have to call: 'here unicorn unicorn unicorn' which is not cute at all. I suppose I could call you uni, but it's an instituition I hate. The fact is, unicorn is a stupid name to call what, in its basest form is just a horny horse--i mean, horned horse, sorry. you were just being oversensitive.so can we make up and just let me touch you? Here you go nice corny..." I should have stopped while I'm ahead. While doing that, I probably should have unglued my foot from my mouth too. Ah misery, thy lover is Asphyxzia.
The unicorn is beyond pissed now. Hey at least it wasnt a dragon or else I would be piles of ashes already. The worst it could do is stab me, I thought.
Oh boy was I wrong.
Just as the dragon thought crossed my head, a laserlike beam rushed toward me from its horn. I dived and rolled away so that it hit the tree behind me.
The tree melted.
Oh my stale snapdragon chips. This was not good for me. So the worst it could do is melt me. Good to know. Nice hot Asphyxzia soup,anyone? Bon appetit.
Hey, think positive. things just can't get any worse than it is right now.
Right?
But then it did.
The thing started to grow into a giant. You can't give me a break, can you, God? I thought as I finally let myself scream. And run. If I die today, I'm haunting every single motivational speaker out there who urges to think positive. It's better to be hopeless dammit. Either way one will die. Why harbor false hope?
Luckily, the factory was so huge that the 12-foot unicorn was out of sight.so no one will witness my murder. Lucky for the unicorn that is.
I turned the corner. And tripped. Ah great.5 years of various combat training and now I trip. I turned around and scooted back. But it was already there. It raised its foot to stomp on me and I closed my eyes.i should have let it melt me. I think that might be less painful. I heard the whoosh of air and I braced myself.
Just then I heard a shout. I opened my eyes. The unicorn stood in the middle of a red coloured circle. its foot still raised. As I watched, it shrunk to it's original size. Then i watched four people who literally melted out of the night come and bind some kind of cord around the unicorn which made it instantly calm. Guess I didn't have any hope of taking it then huh.
One of the black clad guys approached me and took off his hood. I stared at the symmetry on his face:brown-gold hair and honey eyes that reminds me of a lion. add in high cheekbones, an aristocratic nose and that jawline, he could be a live action Disney prince.
He extended his hand toward me. "Are you alright miss? That might have been scary." I raised my eyebrows. well mannered too but Understatement of the century dude, I thought as he took my hand and helped me stand. Then he took a square piece of paper and held it to my forehead.The next thing he knew, I had his arm wrenched behind his back.
"I know what happens and I will NOT let you erase my memory" I wrenched his hand further back. At least my years of training came in handy. I looked back at the others. the two girls were trying to contain laughter.
"Never had I imagined a day where a girl would not be entranced by you Ev"the girl holding the rope snorted.
"And such a harsh rejection too" the other girl was bent over,clutching at her stomach.
Both girls had curly caramel hair which they wore in ponytails. They look like siblings, I thought. But it didn't seem like they were going to get hostile so I looked past them to the guy standing to the side.
My brain got possessed.
There was no other explanation for what I did next. I felt my hand loosen from price charming, and I walked toward him.
"Well, look at you" I breathed cupping his face. Oh no.
" This is what all the authors try to describe but fail to. There are no words in existence that's could describe obsidian hair as lovely as that, that nose so perfect the skin so flawless and those eyes,"
Oh no OhnoOhno stop pix shut up.god-
" I could get stare into those eyes forever ," I continued " I can see stars and whole galaxies in those dark depths they are magnificent. This is the face everyone writes stories about, where words fail to capture the ethereal perfection. To describe your beauty would be like saying that the sun is hot, understatement of the millenia"
Oh god please kill me where the heck is my filter when I need one.
I saw that he was blushing. He grabbed my wrists and pulled my hand away from his face."get off," even his voice was amazing.
I grabbed on to his hands.
"Please tell me you fell for me at first sight,please"
What is wrong with me? It would have been better if the unicorn had stomped on me.
"What's wrong with you? Go away"
Yes what he says: go away, me, I'm soo jumping off a cliff. if I dont't die of embarrassment first. Which ghost had I offended again?
In his eyes,I saw my lips peel apart in a grin. Yeah we were that close.
"Not even a bit of attraction? Come on dont be shy."
Holy Jesus please, I will become a nun just strike me down with lightning. Where were superpowers when you need one? I'd teleport myself underground right about now.
"Get lost. I dont know what your--" he paused.eyes wide. I looked down. There was something shiny poking out from my stomach. I slowly turned around.
Sometime during the conversation the unicorn had broken free and stabbed me. I guess unicorn horn is like a bees stinger huh, its left behind. I observed. I know I should be in pain but it didn't register.
I put my hand behind my back and gripped the horn. I started pulling it out. Ah, there's the pain, I wonder where it went. The horn made a sucking sound as it exited my body. Someone gasped.
I extended it toward the unicorn."You left something behind" I told it, placing the horn on its head. I think it was surprised.
I looked at the guys.
"I've always wanted to say something like that."
Then I collapsed.
