~*~* Chapter 4 *~*~
Aidan stomped moodily around his room. Wasn't it just like a goblin to
ruin his day!
He sat down on his bed with a thump. Kicking the goblin had made the
situation better... A grin started to grow at the corners of his mouth.
He abruptly jumped up again and started pacing.
Aidan loved pacing, it made him feel so powerful and regal, to be able
to march around and have his dark blue cape, and his long dark brown
hair flowing behind him.
Aidan perched one foot on the chest at the foot of his bed, and
perched his elbow on his knee, resting his chin on his fist. He stood there
awhile in deep thought.
Or what appeared to be deep thought anyway. It wasn't really. He was
debating whether or not to watch Madison again. The bird hat may have
been right, he might be going just a tad over board. He pulled himself
up. Of course he wasn't going overboard! He was the Goblin King. Goblin
Kings are supposed to be eccentric, he was deeply proud to come from a
long line of highly eccentric Goblin kings, (well, two others actually
due to the practically endless life span of Goblin Kings.)
With that problem cleared away Aidan guiltlessly pulled out a crystal
ball and stared into it.
Madison was walking to school. Aidan noticed that it wasn't really the
most interesting of things to watch but it was something.
Madison's school was a coed private school, it was also the oldest
school in the city (and as commented by its students it seemed to have the
oldest elevators and computers.)
Madison was walking with Tristen, discussing the party she had had
that weekend. General teenage dribble noted Aidan, ah well.
"Your Party ROCKED Maddie! What did your parents have to say about
your new hairdye?"
"Ah well my dad sighed and went back to his room, and the stepmom
threw another minor hissy on how it makes me un presentable."
"You, un presentable? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!"
Aidan sighed in agreement, Madison would be presentable in any form.
No matter what she did to herself. She was perfect in any form. Aidan
stiffened,
"Yah sweets, your totally presentable just a tad on the short side,"
It was Taylor, Aidan hated him. Supposedly he was Madison's "boyfriend"
some boyfriend, no uncontrollable passion, just hormones. Aidan's
attempts of describing his dislike of Taylor to the bird hat never worked.
The bird hat always gave him a wise remark on how that was how all
Aidan's relationships were.
"Hey Taylor, I didn't see you," Aidan grouched Madison had said that
with the stupid giddyness of puppy love. "Were you just calling me
short?" YES! Though Aidan maybe she'll brake up with him. (Authors Note:
this is Aidan in a state of desperation Madison would never break up with
someone because of being teased about her height though she does hate
it.)
"Who me? No never," Taylor gave Madison a little kiss on the cheek to
the utter depression of Aidan.
Aidan threw the crystal ball to the floor and watched it shatter into
thousands of tiny pieces. He stood there for awhile waiting for the
rush of goblins to come and clean up.
They didn't come.
Then Aidan realized that he had ordered not to be disturbed under any
situation. Ah the trials of being a Goblin King.
He stared down at the shards of crystal scattered throughout his room.
Yet again depressed Aidan threw himself onto his bed, only to have
shards of crystal lodge themselves into his back. Sitting up again, Aidan
decided that he really should get a Goblin to come clean up the mess,
and while he was ordering Goblins around, he should get some food,
storming around and being depressed makes goblin kings hungry.
Maybe, thought Aidan, he could get that bothersome little goblin to
clean up and get him food. Keep the stupid goblin on his toes after the
outrage that morning. The goblin must have returned to the castle by
now, all goblins know the penalty of being out of the castle for more than
two hours without permission. And all Goblins knew the paths to the
labyrinth so well they could get through it within half an hour, with
their eyes closed, and their hands tied behind their back. Aidan knew that
for a fact, he'd tested them.
~*~* Chapter 5 *~*~
The Goblin couldn't believe his bad luck, "I'll ba back after my two
hours are up," he moaned, "an I'll be in even more trouble than I
already am. I may never get back! Why should anyone think of finding me above
ground?" the goblin had to stop bemoaning his bad luck because his head
was starting to hurt again, and little children were backing away.
The goblin dejectedly hopped down from the bench. He was either going
to have to find away for someone underground to notice him and save
him, or he was going to have to get used to living above ground.
But why would anyone realize he was here above ground? Nobody even
bothered with the land up here besides Aidan. And Aidan only came up here
to see girls or steal babies.
The Goblin sat down again. This time on a overturned can in the middle
of the sidewalk. If only he could somehow come in contact either the
baby or the girl that Aidan would go after next.
"Eureka!" shouted the gleeful goblin jumping up from his tin can
causing it to tumble onto its side. "I will pose as a baby for Aidan to
steal!"
Mulling the idea over some more, to his dismay the goblin found
certain technicalities
Technicality #1- he would have to somehow switch himself for a baby
without anyone noticing
Technicality #2- As a Baby he was then going to be treated as a baby
i.e. baby clothes, baby food, baby baths
Technicality #3- He would have to find a baby-sitter that believed in
the goblin king to wish him away
"Far to much trouble," he sighed shaking his head.
For a little while he tossed around the idea of posing as a girl for
Aidan to get interested in. But that was rather short lived, realizing
that Aidan really wasn't into the warty, green, and squat type.
"Nah," said the goblin, 'he's into that Madeline or whatever girl."
Suddenly, the goblin had a brilliant idea, it hurt.
