The Wish

Hope glanced over at Ara and laughed. Flipping through the book landing on a page as if she was drawn to it. Looking over the words then at Ara she laughed again. "You really think fairy tale creatures are real. That a goblin king will come to save you?"

"To be honest I do believe that such creatures could exist and so what if goblins are ruled by a king." Ara slowly stood up and faced Hope while wrapping a blanket around her small body. Hatred flared in the girl as she kept her gaze on Hope. "If vile monsters such as yourself can exist then so can they!"

"Oh so the little bitch can speak up for herself after all. I'll prove to you that these things are not alive and then I'll punish you severely for your back talk." Looking back down at the book in her hands her face lit up. In a mocking tone she stated, "I wish the Goblin King would come and take all of you away from me right now." She began to laugh when nothing happened and then everything went dark.

Lightning and thunder shook the house. All the lights had been blown out. The house fell silent as Hope walked to her nightstand to retrieve a flashlight. Lightning lit up the room and cruel laughter could be heard all around her. Turning to faced a window she was surprised to see a snow white owl flapping against it: as if by magic the window flew open and the owl flew towards her. Hope threw her arms up but within a few moments discovered that the owl had not touched her. She lifted her head as her arms fell to her sides, she was shocked to see a man in front of her. She also realized that Ara was no where to be seen.
