//------------------------------// // The Last Wish // Story: When Darkness Falls... // by XTech309 //------------------------------// "Quick! Uh-I wish we were invisible!" Timmy Turner said in a frightened whisper. Wanda nodded in agreement, and with a quick wave and poof of her wand, the two of them became invisible. The story of their world played out the same as it had for many others, it couldn’t have been more than 3 hours at most since it came, but already he was almost certain he and Wanda were the last ones left. The two currently found themselves trapped in their own house, the twisted forms of Timmy's parents, Cosmo and Vicky searching tirelessly for them. Vicky. She was different. Every other corrupted they encountered was largely the same. Pupilless, darkness slowly dripping from them as they searched for survivors, picking them off one by one. Not Vicky. For the two survivors, it was all so surreal. Unlike everyone else, she still seemed to be fully conscious and controlling herself, mainly represented by the fact that she still had her pupils in both eyes. Cosmo, or what was Cosmo, followed her around the house, his magic captured for Vicky's twisted needs. Her trademark chain saw had been fused to her left hand, and the fingers of the other hand had been elongated and sharpened into deadly claws. Timmy and Wanda froze as they heard her laugh again from another room, the kitchen. It quickly approached the room they were in, the living room. She walked into the living room, laughing maniacally, her head thrown back and her distorted eyes searching the room. She pulled the cord on the chainsaw that was fused to her left hand. The deafening WHIR of its motor came to life, followed by the blade spinning, filling the room oppressively. "WH3R3 @R3 Y0U TW3RP?!" She shouted into the seemingly empty room. She let out a roar of frustration before she slashed at one of the walls with her clawed hand. They had to get out of here. Now. Even with invisibility, Timmy was afraid that they would be found soon, he had no idea what this darkness-empowered Vicky was capable of, and even if they weren't found, there was a very real chance that Vicky could accidentally kill them in one of her fits of rage. Though invisible, Timmy and Wanda could vaguely see each other's outlines in the air. Careful not to make a sound, they began to move slowly towards the front door. creak He froze. Despite their efforts, he had unfortunately stepped on a loose floorboard, the creak barely audible over the idle whir of Vicky's chainsaw. Vicky froze as well, and in one terrifying motion, turned her head straight at them, even though she was facing the complete opposite direction. She roared again before swinging her chainsaw towards the seemingly empty space. "RUN!!" Timmy yelled before ducking underneath the chainsaw as Vicky swung it in their direction. They made a beeline for the front door. Vicky quickly followed, using the sound of his footsteps to gauge where he was. The two quickly made it to the sidewalk and took off as fast as they could go. Timmy's head was fuzzy with adrenaline and terror as he tried desperately to think of something he could wish for. Before he could, he heard a telltale magical poof behind him and turned just in time to dodge and roll out of the way of a magical laser beam, taking off down a sidestreet.
