"GROWWLLLL!"
I abruptly looked back at the new found commotion and that's when my eyes widened panic. I rubbed my eyes to get a clear vision. But, my eyes were not deceiving me. What I was witnessing really is happening right now!
The plastic and cloth mixed magnificent cosplay of the golden dragon that had hitherto frightened the little children and stood admirable to the elders suddenly grew real blood and flesh. Thick golden scales grew on it's live body as the workers underneath the body of the transforming dragon suffocate by it's warm blood with it's blue nerves strangling their throats as they try their best to escape it with the help of few a young knights to pull them out admist the fire flames it had released all around the area.
It has become alive!
The costume dragon has suddenly turned alive!?
This can't be happening??!
I abruptly practiced quick inhalation and exhalation to calm my emotion and failed miserably. But, This was no time to be calm down. I have to get away from here fast before I die!
I thought quickly and almost flee from the scenario when my thick black robe made my feet trip at the strong exposture of the panicked crowd. I felt the fierce dragon drawing near to my direction and abruptly tried to get on my knees, when the temperature around my atmosphere all in a sudden rised to an alarming rate of the boiling point.
I turned back and found myself face to face with the frightening fire breathing dragon.
.
.
.
I tried to crawl back but a wall hit my shoulder. I tried to squeak but couldn't find voice. I shut my eyes tightly.
Is this the end? Am I gonna die?
My eyes involuntarily filled with tears as my heart raced like never before.
Hot fumes of burning gases escaped the enormous dragon's nose and the dragon opened it mouth wide open revealing a huge ball of fire inside it.
I was mentally preparing my mind to die when a guy suddenly pushed me aside along with him with a great force.
"P-Prince.. Zenon..Charming? " I squeaked the second prince's name almost chocking my words.
"Got Ya!.. You better be more careful with your robe there, young lady! "
The dragon desperate that it had missed it's target looked around furiously now almost running rampage. In the corner, I saw the other Prince Charming sending all the citizens and the young student knights to safety. The guards maintained order to the panicked crowd and the wizard was suddenly no where to be found!
The prince tried to help me stand on my knees and when I did, he kissed my hand as I reflexively pushed him away caught both in surprise and embarrassment.
"Ow.. "
"W-What?.. Happened? "
His leg stung with intense pain. And, I noticed thick fluid of blood rapidly coming out of his fresh wound.
"I'll be right back!"
"W-Wait, where are you going? You.. You are gonna kill yourself!" I tried to squeak as he heads towards the chaos, still half limping.
The prince suddenly turned towards me with an expression I had never seen on his face before and smiled within his obvious pain.
"Well, but.. Sometimes a hero's gotta do what a hero's gotta do. "
said the unseen side character of my Fairytale who wasn't even
bothered to be put in the story in many of it's versions. I blinked at him in wonder. His eyes were flaming with an intense passion that abruptly made even my arms to turn like goose skin.
The terrifing fire, my greatest weakness was sent into many bomb like explosions from the dragon. And, I blinked still fazed by his inspiring words, when the silhouette of the brave prince became more and more smaller as he runs straight to danger.
"Papa.. Papa! Where are you? I am definitely not scared at all!"
My thoughts were abruptly interuppted when the cries of a little boy trapped in the middle of the dangerous zone, echoed my ears.
Pinocchio! The son of the kind old man. I panicked.
"Come along with me, son." Prince Zeno abruptly got there and lifted the young child with an exceptional long nose, into his arms.
I let out a deep sigh. But, my little second of relief didn't last long as I saw the dragon abruptly race towards them.
"L-Look out! " I yelled but realized it was already too late.
They are gone! I can't do anything for them. The only thing I can do now, is save my own life. I must only do this because, I am so weak!! And,.. this is a fire magic.
I bit my lips.
I can't.. I can't help them!
I thought quickly and looked at the other people who were fleeing to safer places.
My feet was ready to run and escape the scenario. The only thing, I can do is live for these sacrifices. Because, sometimes sacrifices are necessary for saving people who really matters on the story.
Yes..
Yes...that's r-right! I am the villaness and I play an important role to the story! My fairytale would run astray if it loses an important character!
I consoled my heart that was now overwhelming with many nostalgic memories and sayings. But..
'Here, have some of my bread. My son wouldnt eat them anyway.'
'I just know. You aren't a culprit. What can I say.. They are my... manly instincts.. '
'Sometimes a hero's gotta do what a hero's gotta do.. '
I clenched my fists.
I swear, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life, if I were to do that.
And, before I could even think of another thought my body moved on it's own.
"Hey, Kid! where are you going? It's dangerous.." a guard tried to stop me but I was too fast for him. I abruptly got on the long stairs of a building. And, before I knew it, my feet landed right on top of the huge dragon.
The dragon roared in a terrible noise wiggling the little itchy microbe that had now landed inbetween, two of it's golden hornes and changed it's direction away from the prince and the little kid.
I let out a sigh. They are saved.
And, suddenly it's mouth vibrated and I felt my scaley floor become hot, making me to cue another enormous fire ball that was gonna explode in a few seconds.
I cried in panic.
"But, now.. who is gonna save me!?"
"Young lady! What are you doing out there! Are you completely insane!? " I heard the young prince's voice. But, it was bearly audible due to immense pressure the dragon created making my ears feel like it was almost gonna explode!
I closed my eyes tightly.
Argh! Fire magic! Why must this dragon have a fuc**** fire magic?! This is the exact same weakness of my thread...
"Wait..?"
Ah, that's it!
I thought and a thin smile spread my lips during my quick thinking.
If I had only seen my reflection then, I might have abruptly have stopped realizing how villanous I looked. A murderous maniacal grin reached my ears and tore the eyes of anyone who wanted to see the stupid girl trying to contribute her part as a hero.
"And, now I can play with this.. "
I grinned like I had just found a new toy!
