Chapter Six- New Enemies

Jerry returned to the centre of the camp where the three empty cart that once filled with aid were. The young Goblin assigned scout was breathless and surrounded by a crowd.

"What happened?" Jerry yelled, he pushed through the crowd. "Everyone give the boy some space.

"Its guarded by fairies," The boy goblin was gasping for air. "We can't go back there."

"What, why?" Jerry asked. "Were you seen?"

"No," The boy goblin panted rapidly. "I don't think so."

"Were there berries there, just as Jasmine the Present fairy alleged?" One of the elders asked.

The boy goblin huffed. "Yes, but we will never be able to harvest it without dying."

"Why boy, spit it out you pansy," The elder snapped. "We haven't got all day."

"Its… Its guarded by" The boy goblin winced in pain, probably haunted by the horror of the memory. "I saw it with my own eyes…Its guarded by the Magical Crafts fairies." The boy squealed.

There was a collective gasp by onlookers. A woman screamed and fell to her knees. "OH NO NOT THE MAGICAL CRAFTS FAIRIES!"

Jerry was confused "What? Are these fairies of witchcraft?"

"No not witchcraft, the arts and crafts, you fool. They are a gang of the most feared fairies in the land. Have you heard of them?" A Goblin spat. Jerry recognised the Goblin next to him, it was Ajax the fifth.

"No." Jerry whispered. "Why are they so feared?"

"There is Kayla the Pottery Fairy, she's awful."

"OH NOO!" The woman screamed. "NOT KAYLA THE POTTERY FAIRY."

"Kayla is brutal," Ajax the fifth explained. "It is said she crushes her victim's legs with a sledge hammer. Then she drags their bodies to the nearest fire and burns them alive until there is nothing but bone left. She then crushes the bones down to make pots. She displays them in her house like trophies. And then there is Zadie the Sewing fairy."

"OH NOOO, NOT ZADIE THE SEWING FAIRY."

"Zadie the sewing fairy, more like Zadie the SCREWING fairy. She is crazy" Ajax the fifth shook his head in dismay. "Yeah, she sews your eyes shut, your mouth shut, your nostrils shut and suffocates you. She laughs and licks your face as you die."

"That's awful!" Jerry cried.

"Yeah but then there is Anabelle the drawing fairy." Ajax the fifth muttered.

"OH NOOOO, NOT ANNABELLE THE DRAWING FAIRY." The woman shrieked.

"Anabelle loves to draw," Ajax the fifth said. "Her favourite medium is skin and flesh. She tortures you to death by scribbling and sketching into your skin with a knife. To drown out your screams she sings Kpop and the Naruto soundtrack. Sometimes to be extra cruel she tells you about her hopes and dreams and the webcomic she is working on as you bleed to death. Then reminds you that you will never live to see your own dreams fulfilled. But oh boy, have you heard of Libby the writing fairy?"

"OH NOOOOO, NOT LIBBY THE WRITING FAIRY"

"She writes FALSE NEWS and makes it sound very convincing. She can convince anyone to do anything. She wrote an article that convinced everyone that infants under three months old could regrow their fingers and also that they made good fries. So many people cut off their baby's figures and eat them. She's cold but not as cold as Josie the Jewellery fairy…"

"OH NOOOOO, NOT JOSIE THE JEWLLRY FAIRY."

"She makes necklaces and anklets, out of her victims' teeth, bones and nails." Ajax muttered. "Then she leaves the rest up to her cousin. Violet the Painting Fairy."

"OHHHHNNNOOO NAWT-"

"Shut up slut!" The boy Goblin squeaked.

"Violet the painting fairy brings out the PAIN in painting." Ajax muttered. "She drains the blood of her victims and makes art murals of their corpse. But then there is the leader of the gang. She's a monster. She goes by the name Roxie the Baking fairy."

"I've heard of her." Jerry said quietly. "She used to be a bounty hunter for Jackfrost, she would kill then bring back the corpses and cook them for him."

"Then she was offered more pay from the prince. She came back to fairyland and formed a gang of the worst fairies she could find." The elder added gravely. "this is not good for us."

"Were going to get that food without being detected, we have no choice!" Jerry exclaimed.

Chaos broke amongst the goblins there, they wailed, cried and screamed in protest.

"OI!" a fairy with hay-coloured hair screamed over the noise. "I can help huns!"

Jerry turned to her direction and gasped. Standing there with her hands on her hips was Sasha the Slime Fairy.
