Prompt: Hunger

She had been hiding in her room for weeks trying to avoid it, but when her hunger had almost overwhelmed her when her father came in to check on her she knew she couldn't stay anymore. She would protect her family at all cost s, even if the danger was herself.

So she did the only thing she could think of to guarantee the safety of her family and any humans around her.

She wished herself away to the Goblin King.

Now she stood in the pit in the center of his throne room watching him pace back and forth above her.

"Unless under the protective magic of a Runner trying to get back a Wish-Away, humans cannot survive long here in the Underground without dying or being warped into another form by the wild magic that abounds here," the Goblin King explained.

He abruptly stopped his pacing standing right in front of her.

"And yet here you are, over a day later and yet you remain unchanged," he pointed out, "why is that?"

Head bowed, her long dark brown hair obscuring her face, Sarah replied, "because I'm no longer human."

She looked up then, her eyes blazing a brilliant green, "I'm starving and you look delicious."

He was barely even able to take a step back before she was upon him.


This one was an Author's Choice prompt, but I sure had fun writing it.
