The Demon King

2nd Place, 5th Grade

by Londyn Coley, Sumter County Intermediate School

It was a dark night. It took place at midnight in Japan. The princesses, Jayla and Jazmine, were walking through a dark alley at 12:05 AM. A man rushed outside and told them. 

” It’s not safe for you guys to be out here this late at night” 

“We will be fine! We can defend ourselves,”said Jayla. 

The man said, “Alright” He ran back into his house and turned off all the lights. Jayla and Jazmine talked about the man as they walked away. 

“Demons! His mom probably told him too many spooky stories,” said Jazmine. 

Soon after the girls had a feeling that someone was following them. The princesses began to get really scared. As the girl walked forward, Jayla fell into what seemed like a deep, dark hole. Jazmine caught her hand just in time before she was gone forever. Jayla yelled, 

“PULL ME UP!!!” 

“I’M TRYING!” said Jazmine. 

Then another black hole came out of nowhere and got Jazmine. Someone grabbed Jayla’s and Jazmine’s feet and started pulling them down. Jayla let go… 

The next day had passed and the queen and king were worried. The man from that night came up to them and said. “Your daughters have been taken”. 

“TAKEN BY WHO?” asked the king. 

“Demons!” said the man. The king was in shock. 

The king and queen sent a whole army looking for their daughters. Months later, they found them in a dark forest lying dead over a tree. When the troops told the king and queen that they found their daughters dead, the queen broke down in tears for two weeks. 

At the funeral the king said, “Maybe we should try to adopt and keep him or her safe by our side?” “What is wrong with you?” said the queen. She walked away.The king thought about what he had done. The queen rushed out to the woods. There she saw the old man standing in front of a black hole. He was looking down inside. “Who’s next master?” asked a demon. 

You already have the queen’s daughters. Go ask the king, he’s the one who gives you orders”. The queen’s heart broke into a million pieces. She heard everything. The king killed his daughters. The queen walked back inside as fast as she could. She shouted to the guards, 

“Get ready.” 

The guards nodded their heads and walked away. They dragged the king to the front of the castle for everyone to see. “This is Brian D Coleman (the king) responsible FOR THE DEATH OF M INNOCENT GIRLS.You shall now face the consequences. The king begged the queen. She didn’t trust him anymore. He cannot live any longer. “HANG THEM!” shouted the queen. The king and the man hanged in the wind. The next day, they disappeared. Rumor is that the demons got them. Nobody knew for sure. 

“Now go to bed Londyn,” said Grandma Andrea as she closed the spooky book.
