I want to say i'm glad to finally see some old faces again well through my words and new ones that seem to shine on here. I'm going to upload as much as I can with some of the old stories and new ones that are coming out as well. The stories i'm doing today are two short stories that were made in English class while reading "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allen Poe which is an excellent story.
Here is one called "The King & The Jester" Please Excuse my mistakes or spelling errors since Notepad doesn't let me know what's worng or what to change. Bear with me.
The King & The Jester by DDD09
One lovely day, stood a small village and a castle also stood where a miserable king lived with his queen and royal servants.
Birds flew by the arc windows and The King sat, holding his gold crafted staff with jewels from varities of colors from red to purple violet placed around the staff to give a magnificant feel to it. The crown was sliding to the right side of his head with boredom spread across his gloomy face. He stared out the window of a beautiful view of the sky, expressing happy emotions thorughout the land. The King sat on his cushiony chair made of silk and filled with cotten to give his bum a warm, comfortable feeling.
Then he summoned his guards and waited for them to come.
The two most royal guards that are by his side everyday were known as his most trusted and close friends with the majesty himself.
They stood by his side whereas they both walk and bow nevertheless, he stared at them with his cold-hearted eyes. His lips dried,
started to smack his lips, wetting them and clear his throat to speak.
"Guards...I've been looking so down these past few days and in the need to have some entertainment in my body system. Can you fetch the new Jester to make me smile and brighten up my day?" The King said in a menacing tone but it came out as a soft whisper where they stood up and bow at him.
"Yes my lord." The First Guard said who had blond hair, long curvy ears, as he had crooked teeth were two looked almost buck teeth.
he had blue eyes and short nose. They both walked off and left the grand room, leaving The King at his throne, twirling his cape and waited for his men. The Guards continued to walk together. They reached the dungeon as the second guard place the key into the lock and twist which it unlocked. The Door creaked open slowly, his heartbeat started beating fast where he place his fingers on the side of the door. He then pry the door open quickly where a crouched figure sat there, wearing green clothes that were shreded as the bells were covering his face along with his dark wavy hair. The Second guard walked up to him slowly.
"You're wanted by the king right this instant." The Guard said in a orderly manner as The Jester smiled and laughed softly.
"He wants me? Does he want my autograph? HAHAHAHA! I'm kept here in this place that is my home and Le King wants me? I cant wait to see this hehehe" The Jester said and gave a sinister smirk at them which made them surprised at his response of the king. The Guard in front of him and grabs him. The Guard pulls him up to his face, his wretched breath all over the Jester which made The Jester wave his hand around to clear the smell.
"Sheesh! Did something crawl in you and died? Damn your breath is nasty!" The Jester laughed more where the other guard laughed a bit.
The Main guard punch the Jester, where silence came around. The Jester looks at the guard slowly with a evil look as the devil has overtaken him. The Guard smiled and pushed him out the room. The main guard walks with The Jester as the second guard is behind to follow them slowly.
"Well then...its sad seeing that you think you're big and bad but you're not. you've been having an affair with the queen and your partners wife. Shouldn't they know about what you've done..." The Jester said as The Guard is enraged and starts pulling out the sword but then, The Jester plunges a dagger into the Guards throat, slowly thrusting the blade deeper past the cervix, cutting all sound to warn anyone. Blood trickled down the guard's throat and felt the blade cut hit throat, his eyes rolling in the back of his head. The Jester laughed softly as the body collapse to the ground and leaves to find the King. The Guard's dead body lays still as blood gushes and surrounds his body.
"Smile and bring out happiness to the King." The Jester said to himself and smiled where he found the double doors.
"Time to have fun...hehehehe" he said and pushes the doors open to see the King look up at his new Jester. The King didnt like this Jester at all.
He felt something wrong. Incredibly wrong. He kept a eye on the Jester more carefully.
"Well Hello there. I'm your king and your here to make me laugh till I can't no more. Can you do that?" The King said as The Jester smiled evilly and laughed loudly where he danced around where the bells ring with blood dripping down slowly and hit the carpet. The Jester slowly looking at The King,
a look so horrible that The King's color has disappeared. His face, white as a ghost, his laps gasping in horror to see The Jester laughing and coming closer to The King. The King cried for help, but nobody came to his aid. Screams rang out through the castle. The Second guard, running to the screams then heard only but silence. The guard came to the door and opened it to drop his weapon as he yells. Birds are chirping and people were having a normal day,
not knowing what has happened at all. After the funeral, The Jester had vanished in thin air. Nobody never seen or heard what he does or sounds like.
The Guard left and never returned.
The Jester lives on which people say as at night when they are alone or when the day the king died. People hear his laughs ring out all through the night.
