Yay, it’s Friday! I’m super poorly today so I’m afraid I’m out of this week, but don’t you worry, you have some great stories below. This week’s prompt from Julia’s Place is ‘suddenly it was in my hand‘.
This week is Limebirds Amber, Kate and Vanessa.

She tasted like candy as I pulled away. Underneath the sweet was a sour, rotten taste. The demon wasn’t kind and I had no plans to be kind. I thought of my knife, carved with runes and strictly for killing her kind. Suddenly, it was in my hand. I plunged the blade through her heart and let the black blood spray on me. The pain in her eyes, the shock. I stared down at her. A demon’s heart stolen is nothing to cry over. My own heart’s loss, I don’t care anymore. I turned my back on her. I really didn’t cry.

I wasn’t supposed to go up there.
I wasn’t supposed to see.
Too many nights spent wondering
About the noise that kept waking me.
I climbed the rickety staircase
Afraid I would slip and fall.
The room at the top loomed closer
I kept going as I hugged the wall.
Darkness beckoned me forward
I entered, expecting a trick.
When I saw what was making the noise
I wanted to be sick.
It came toward me with flashing eyes
I screamed but couldn’t run.
Suddenly it was in my hand
My new life has now begun.

We all knew the Principal wore a hairpiece. You couldn’t help but know. Somebody once said that it looked like a rat which had been flattened and placed on top of his head. After that, we all referred to it as ‘the rat’. One lunchtime, he came to shout at us for playing football too near the windows. As he bent down to pick up the ball, the hairpiece slid off his head onto the ground. I wasn’t even aware of reaching for it, but suddenly it was in my hand, and before I could stop myself, I heard my voice say “Your rat I believe?”.
