Basket of Cupcakes
Victoria The Mad

Victoria was beside herself. Her eyes were messy with her black mascara from all the crying. Her hair was a hideous mess again and she was growing in fury by feeling helpless by the minute.

She ran to find Kaida which wasn’t very far. On the way, her cuppie spotted her and sensed her agitation. The fairy hopped onto her back trying to calm her.

When they finally reached Kaida, they tried to tell him what was going on. Except, Kaida spoke dragon now and they could not understand each other. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Victoria was not going to let anything happen to Kiki and Ben. They were her family, the only family she ever had. She thought of the woodland witch’s.

“Ladies, you may be known as witches but I am a devil when you mess with me.” She thought to herself.

Determined not to change her mind, she marched right into the witch’s yard and yelled.

“Wenches! Get up right now! Come on, up we go, I don’t have time for your foolery.”

Hilda and Gritta froze on the spot, still attempting to stop sliding. They looked at this strange woman in utter confusion.

Every stray to enter had always shivered in their boots at their sight. This one seemed not in the least interested. No fear? She cannot be a human, she could be a witch from the North. Judging from her mad eyes and wild hair, she has to be. They were known to be crazy.

“Who are you!”

Asked Hilda, trying to be confident but was betrayed by the high squeak in her voice.

“I am Victoria, and you have a few things that belong to me. Hand them over NOW!” Victoria was feeling more and more courageous by the minute once she picked up on their fear.

“She must mean the two piggies in the cage,” Gritta mumbled under her breath to Hilda.

“Hmmm, but northern witches have a far different palate than we do. Maybe this one’s different.” Hilda replied under her breath.

Then to Victoria, “I am sorry dear, but these piggies were captured fair and square by me personally. How could they possibly belong to you? The north is rather far from here?”

Victoria was in no mood right now to play a hundred questions. She grabbed the bowl on the table and flung it down in a rage.

“Listen to me you two-bit maggots. I’ve had a rough few days and I am in no mood for your bloody games. I’ve seen things you could not even begin to imagine even in your worse nightmares, and now, I’m this close….(she said squinting her eyes as she pressed her thumb and pointer together and peered thru to emphasize how close she was) … to losing my mind. And you don’t want me to lose….my….. mind.” She said thru gritted teeth.

“Yes Hilda, we don’t want her losing her mind do we?” Said Gritta shaking Hilda’s sleeve in fear.

They tried to get up but slipped back down.

“Oh goodness, it’s no use. We can’t wake up. In there!

Get what you want and leave. And please lift your hex on our ground as soon as you have what you want.” Hilda said pointing at the house.

Victoria marched thru the door, with a satisfied grin at the thought that they really believed she was responsible for all that magic.

That grin soon disappeared when she saw Ben trapped under the shelves. The fairy saw this and flew off. Victoria ran to Ben and tried her utmost to lift the large slabs of wood. Just then Uhl walked in followed but a nauseating smell. Victoria looked up pinching her nose, screamed at the giant to pick the wood up and carried on trying to lift it. Uhl looked just as confused at this witch that was giving him orders.

But she was so pretty and Uhl was charmed. He lifted the slabs and Ben and she ran off towards the hanging cage. There, hung the kids screaming for them to look up. “My Kiki! I’m coming munchkin!” Shouted Victoria as she bounded up every possible thing she could find to get up to them.

“There’s no key!” She said annoyed.

Ben also reached up and was hanging on trying to figure out where the key could be.

“They use magic to lock it,” Claire explained.

“What do we do now Ben?” Victoria asked at a loss.

Kiki, without a second thought, screamed for Kaida.

“Oh darling, it’s useless, he can’t understand us anymore. I tried him first but he could not understand a thing I was saying.”

“You came alone? And managed to pass the witches and that hideous dumb giant?” Kiki asked awestruck.

“My dear, I would fight more than giants for you!” Victoria said, squeezing Kiki’s hands thru the bars.

Just then, a huge smash could be heard above them and the roof was swiped clean off.

Above them stood Kaida with the fairies on his head. He grabbed the cage in his large jaw and yanked it from the ceiling plank that staying in place. As he started to pull them up, Uhl came into the kitchen, let out a loud scream and reached up and grabbed Ben’s legs.

“Dad!

Screamed Kiki!

Ben’s fairy flew down as close as he could without being grabbed as well and blew a shrinking spell on Uhl’s arm. As Uhl let go, screaming in terror at the sight of his arm, he let go and freed Ben but his other arm rose up in a panic and swiped of his left-wing. He went tumbling down, but Ben caught him in time and up they rose, further and further away from the woodland witches.
