The Goblin King wasn't happy he captured me late in the night. He kept cursing strange words under his breath. As he carried me under his chubby green arms. "You don't have to do this, you know?" I shouted angrily, at the Goblin King. He growled angrily and thwacked his golden scepter on the top of my head, to silence me.
I winced in pain and closed my eyes tightly. I could tell the Goblin King was having trouble carrying me. So, he dropped me on the wet lawn in the grass of your yard. Then, he started dragging me by my long, blond hair.
I couldn't help but cry and pout in agony. He was pinching my scalp. I started flailing my arms and legs. The Goblin King was getting irritated with me. We stopped in the dark, empty streets. Next to a manhole, covering the sewer hole in the foggy street.
Forcing me to stay put, with his pudgy, green feet on my stomach, the Goblin King started to unlatch the sewer manhole covering. Putting the lid aside, the Goblin King of Everybody grabbed his golden scepter off the street next to the manhole lid. Grabbed me roughly by my arms. And tossed me into the dark, stinky sewers through the manhole in the main street.
I screamed all the way down and landed in some yucky, stinky sewer water. A couple of rats squeaked and waddled beside me. As I screamed again, they hurried past me. I looked up at the top of the open manhole.
There was nobody there. I thought maybe something happened to the Goblin King of Everybody. But as a shadow passed over the open manhole in the sewer street, I watched as the Goblin King of Everybody started to climb down the ladder next to the sewer wall.
Making his way down, he grabbed his golden scepter and shook it in the air. He made his golden scepter glow bright as a flashlight. And now we both could see a tunnel of light in our path before us.
"Girl, you got to be careful down here by yourself," said the Goblin King of Everybody. He jumped off the last step of the ladder and landed in a puddle of murky sewer water in the tunnel next to me.
I laughed nervously. "I wouldn't even bother being in some stinky place to begin with. If it weren't for you. I'd still be safe back at home, trying to sleep in the comfort of my own bed," I said, honestly.
Having responded back to the Goblin King of Everybody, he growled and thwacked his golden scepter again on the top of my noggin in frustration. "Shut up! No talking allowed! Unless I need you to say something back to me, first," he growled.
Grabbing hold of me with my right hand, we continued walking down the dimly lit tunnel. Where it was filled with rats scuttling through the paths, and I could have sworn I had seen poisonous snacks slithering in the stinky sewer tunnel water. Barely passing us, like we weren't even there.
"You understand this is your fault, girl, for not believing we exist," the Goblin King of Everybody growled, angrily. I couldn't respond, because I was wincing in pain, as the Goblin King of Everybody was dragging in the yucky sewer water tunnel. I tried to squirm my way out of his grasps, but he was too strong.
"But you're just in a made up storybook," I finally responded. A strand of my wet, messy blonde hair got in my eyes. "You're not supposed to be real. How can I believe in something that doesn't exist? If you're not real?" I asked him.
He didn't respond. His golden scepter glowing flickering on and off. And it was making him get upset. "You'll believe in us to be your true best friends you'll ever get to have" said the Goblin King of Everybody. Kicking a squeaky rodent out of the way, they both turned into another dark passageway in the stinky, dark tunnel.
"I don't need any friends! I've got my stories to keep me happy," I said. Trying not to get upset at how ruined my clothes were getting the wet sewer water, I knew I'd never want to wear these same clothes again!
The Goblin King of Everybody laughed. "Hah! Shows how much you know you really do need to belong with us in the fairy goblin kingdom," he said, frowning. He wasn't listening to me. I don't think he cares how much I don't want to go to some underworld kingdom where I'm sure it won't be any more pleasant than what I'm used to living in a normal town like Supernaturalville.
Suddenly, the Goblin King of Everybody stopped. He put his back against the wall of the tunnel pathway. Hearing voices, in the dark sewer tunnels, he knew we weren't alone down here. "We have to get out of here quick," the Goblin King of Everybody rasped, quietly. Keeping his golden scepter glowing, he turned his head and looked around the tunnel corner of the passageway.
There, the Goblin King of Everybody noticed there were two more goblins standing in the dead end of the tunnel. One of the goblins had snatched a sewer rat off the ground. And took a bite of the rat! He ripped off its pink tail. And let blood of the juicy fat sewer rodent dribble down his mouth.
"Share some of the meal for me, too, hog!" said his friend on the left. The other goblin grabbed the rodent out of his friend's reach. He squeezed the rat and let blood pour out its belly. After he was finished drinking blood from the rat, he tossed it in the end of the corner of the dead end in the tunnel.
There was a ladder leading up to the main street in Supernaturalville. The goblins started going up the rusty, gray step ladder. They were laughing excitedly as they were getting the opportunity to get some fresh air.
Opening the manhole sewer lid, the first goblin pushed the lid aside and opened it. Letting in moonlight from the sky, the two annoying and obnoxious goblins crawled out of the tunnel through the manhole.
The Goblin King of Everybody turned back to me. I was still captured under his grasps on the wet, dirty sewer tunnel, beside him. "This is our way out in the fairy goblin kingdom, kid. They won't like I've got you with me. Because they will turn me to stone if they ever found out a mortal child had discovered our world without believing in me, first," he said.
I didn't want to go with the Goblin of Everybody into the fairy kingdom. It seemed like they were all a bunch of losers or wannabes who don't have a purpose to exist. But what choice did I have? If I didn't make the Goblin King of Everybody happy, what more could he do to me?
He started to continue to drag me by wet hair to the ladder at the end of the tunnel. "Get up. You're going up, first kid," he growled at me. Getting wet, I was completely drenched in dirty, stinky, sewer water. I knew I'd never get the smells out of my wet clothes.
I didn't say anything to the Goblin King of Everybody. As I obeyed him. I started to climb up the ladder. Taking it slow, I almost slipped on a step. Nearly losing my balance, but the Goblin King of Everybody quickly maintained my balance. And I sighed heavily with relief. And continued climbing the gray, cold, steel ladder up the sewer manhole lid.
Finally, I reached the top of the sewer tunnel lid covering the manhole to lead out. Trying to grip hold of the sides of the lid, I tried to move the tunnel sewer manhole lid without all my strength and might. But it wouldn't budge. "Oh, no! We're stuck!" I said, angrily.
Growling, the Goblin King of Everybody suddenly dropped his glowing, golden scepter to the sewer ground. And grabbed hold of my feet, and pulled me out of the way. He started going up the ladder to the sewer manhole lid.
Trying with all his might and skill, the big, green, ugly wart-covered goblin struggled to open the manhole himself, too. Cursing under his breath, we both jumped at the sound of the manhole lid being pulled open from somebody at the other side of the hole.
Looking up to see who rescued us, the two goblin partners from earlier, stared back at us and laughed at us.
