A Living Statue

by x_Dragon_tears_x

Outside in the woods, night falls making the warm sun turn into the silver moon. A Lupess, who seems to be a pup, lays in a flower bed filled with lovely wild flowers. She isn't all that big, but big enough. She has yellow silky fur that shimmers in the moon light. She hears her owner yelling her name, "Tear Drops! Time to come in and have supper!"

With that Tear Drops runs to her house, smiling. She was always been treated right and given everything she needed. Dinner was hot on the table as she scrambled up on her chair to eat, while her owner sat down, happy to see her loyal Lupe pup home.

"Yum! This looks good," Tear Drops says before digging into her food.

"I hope you like it Tear Drops," says her owner happily while starting to eat her own food.

After dinner Tear Drops helped clean up and watched some TV. After her favourite show was over her owner picked her up.

"AW! Do I havta go to bed Bunnie?!" Tear Drop whines.

"Yes, it's already past your bed time you silly lil' pup," Bunnie says warmly.

Bunnie takes the pup into her arms and carries her to her bed. She kisses Tear Drops' forehead and turns out the lights. Tear Drops holds her fuzzy teddy bear close to her and falls asleep. She dreams her sweet pup dreams about running in the fields and having a lil' brother or sister, eating candy, and playing with friends.

The morning sun soon rises into the sky making the clouds purple, pink, and orange. Bunnie opens Tear Drops' door and lets the smell of breakfast come in. Tear Drops soon jumps out of bed and smiles.

"Breakfast is ready Tear Drops," even in her voice you can feel her smile.

"Kay! Be there in a second," Tear Drops says full of joy because the sun has awakened.

Five minutes later she is eating her breakfast quickly so she can go outside and play. When she's done she runs outside to the river bank. When she finally gets there she sees a Dark Faerie. Never being warned by her mother about them she walks up to make friends.

The Dark Faerie glares at Tear Drops and starts to glow. Tear Drops steps back, but it's too late. She starts to glow as well, and is lifted into the air. She yelps and whines but no one is around to hear her! She wiggles and squiggles trying to get out of the glowing light and tries to growl, yet she is too scared to.

"Ahahahaha! I got you now, you Lupess! Ahahahaha," the Dark Faerie evilly says.

"No stop! Let me go," Tear Drops yelps.

Both her and the Faerie fade in the sky. Soon they appear in the Dark Faerie's castle.... Everything seems dead, everything is black and grey and ugly.

"Welcome to my kingdom! I will make you one of my henchmen," she says with a following evil laugh.

Tear Drops whines and whimpers as it is now dusk and her owner cannot find her, nor can she eat those lovely dinners. Dusk soon becomes night as she is thrown into a steal cage, cold and scary.

At midnight, the cage door swings open and Tear Drops is dragged out of it and put on a stone next to the Dark Faerie The Dark Faerie cackles evilly as she takes out a wand and says a few words... The stone Tear Drops is standing on starts to become her! She tries getting away yet it's too late for her.

Back at home, Tear Drops' owner starts to worry. She sits in a chair and weeps. She misses her wonderful Lupess pup that she has raised. She gets an idea and runs into her own room and grabs a bag, and then puts a blanket, flashlight, food, compass, and other items in it. She is going to look for Tear Drops!

Ten minutes have past. She puts the bookbag on and runs into the woods, to the river. She sees Tear Drops' footprints and follows them. Then they are gone, not even at the water's edge.

"TEAR DROPS!!!!" she yells at the top of her lungs as she falls to her knees and cries.

***

Tear Drops, now stone, feels helpless. She feels her body become stiff as she blinks and a tear rolls down her muzzle. A dark collar appears on her neck to prove she's the Dark Faerie's. She lets out a long, sad, mournful howl into the night sky. She can only hope that Bunnie heard it while she was being dragged away.

***

Bunnie hears the howl and sees where the wind is coming from.

"The dark kingdom...." she says to herself and gets up, running to it.

Hours have past... she starts to feel lost, but doesn't give in. She enters the black and gray world and looks at the castle. She bears her teeth and runs in.

"Give me back Tear Drops, you witch!" she yells to the Dark Faerie.

The Dark Faerie looks at her and starts to glow. Bunnie prays to the gods that her plan will work. She takes out her flash light and turns it on, the golden rays make the Faerie scream in pain and disappears.

***

Tear Drops howls again, she knows that Bunnie has come to save her. She feels her presence as she now hears "TEAR DROPS! HANG IN THERE! I'M COMING!!!!" She sees Bunnie's form in the distance running full speed to her cage. Her body gets harder to move. Bunnie soon reaches Tear Drops and opens the cage. She pulls out the unmoveable Lupess and picks her up.

"Oh my poor Tear Drops!" she says, hugging the now statue of her former pet Tear Drops. "I'll take you to the Faerie Queen! She'll make you live!" she says while picking up the still small statue of the pup.

She walks all the way to Faerieland, having to hold her heavy statue for a puppy! She reached the castle where the Queen lived, and cried. She knocked on the large door and two guards opened it.

"Please, Oh, please! Let me see the Queen! The Dark Faerie did this to my poor puppy!" she said sadly.

They nodded and told her to come in. She came in and the guards closed the door behind her. Another guard walked her to the camber the queen was in. The queen just looked at her, her purple gown, beautiful in every way she was.

"What do YOU want?" the queen said, not all being all that rude.

"The Dark Faerie.... My puppy-" Bunnie stuttered.

"Slow down! What did the Dark Faerie do to your puppy?" the Queen asks, concerned.

Bunnie holds up the baby Lupess and cries... "She turned her to stone! Can you please let her live!?"

"What is your name? I shall grant you this wish," the Queen says warmly.

"My name-My name is... Bunnie Dragon Tears!" she said, looking at her pet.

"All right Bunnie Dragon Tears. I'll make your beloved pet live again, but you must warn her about the powers of the Faeries! Most of us are good, but some like the Dark Faerie are evil!" the Queen said while looking at Bunnie's agreeing nod.

The Queen waved her hands into the air and said words dazzling Bunnie, and so it seems to be dazzling Tear Drops! Tear Drops blinked and moved her tail, but she was still a grey stone colour. Bunnie didn't mind, she knelt next to Tear Drops and hugged her tightly, crying. The Queen smiled before she said "Now take your pet back home. She is alive now. She can be happy!"

With that Bunnie and Tear Drops walked the long way home. Stopping for food 2 times, Tear Drops was VERY hungry. Tear Drops told Bunnie how scary it all was, and how scared she was. Bunnie listened carefully.

Now Tear Drops is happy as ever! She is still a puppy and will be one for a long while. She can wait to play now a days. She's reading more and when she does play she makes sure no Faeries are around! Bunnie is very happy, but when Tear Drops asks "Why am I grey?" she just says, "When you were younger the Faerie Queen was crying because the lovely golden yellow from the rainbow had disappeared! So you walked up to her and told her she could use your golden fur colour for the rainbow, she was so happy! Now she doesn't cry anymore because all the colours are in the rainbow now! The bad thing is that you turned grey because you gave up your fur colour."

She doesn't mind the grey coat anymore because of that story. She runs happily with her friends and doesn't mind being different!!!

The End
