Thread: Playing With Toys--the twisted children's story

Playing With Toys 26 Talking with Long Ears wasn't difficult at first and Teddy Bear even started to think he might like the fellow eventually. But when he mentioned the shadows and the nightmares, Long Ears brushed him off and arrogantly stated that it was under control. He could handle protecting the Tall Girl all on his own he didn't need any help from stuffed scum, like Teddy Bear. Teddy Bear was furious and almost jumped up and knifed the guy, if it hadn't been for the Doll With The Porcelain Face who came between the two. Somehow, Teddy Bear would make this mook pay! Somehow! The End Playing With Toys 27 Several more nights went by and the toys on the shelf busily planned what they were going to do. The problem reached an apex though when on the third night since talking with Long Ears, the Tall Girl woke from her nightmares and sat up in bed crying fitfully. She didn't notice the monsters at all and seemed to still be somewhat half asleep. She cried frustratedly and sorrowfully, as if she just couldn't take it anymore she just wanted a good nights sleep. She sought comfort from Long Ears and eventually lay back down to sleep. Several more times in the night she woke with more tears, always not quite awake, but getting more plaintive in her cries. When morning came, she was devoid of emotion and practically a zombie. There was no fighting with the Big Lady this day. It was this change of events that decided the toys. They had to do something NOW, or else they might lose the Tall Girl to the cloud of darkness forever. The End Playing With Toys 28 Teddy Bear was not a religious bear but he knew he got his strength to fight the monsters and keep the nightmares away from somewheresomeone. A lot of times he thought that it was the strength of the Tall Girl's love for him and her belief in him that gave him power, but he also sometimes got the feeling that someone was watching over her and had chosen him as her Guardian. That night when the Tall Girl blank faced and unfeeling crawled into bed, she didn't even hold Long Ears as she snuggled under the covers. She was too exhausted and Long Ears fell onto the floor when she rolled over. Teddy Bear watched as the shadows started to form together and start their nightly torture. There were more of them now and bigger ones too, with claws and tentacles and red eyes and spiky bodies. All had come to feed on the bad feelings they inspired in the Tall Girl. For a moment Teddy Bear felt hopeless there were too many of them. Surely he could not defeat them all with any of the weapons in his arsenal. Not his bazooka or his uzi, or his grenades or his chainsaw or even his twin samurai swords. The End Playing With Toys 29 Kneeling down on his shelf, Teddy Bear prayed. He prayed to whatever higher power had given him the gift of strength to battle the small monsters and keep the nightmares away he prayed to whoever had made him the Tall Girl's Guardian. The Doll With The Porcelain Face watched worriedly, with little tears in her eyes as the first monsters laid their hands on the Tall Girl. Then her attention was drawn to Teddy Bear. A small light had started in his breast, his fuzzy tummy glowing white. And the light grew and grew spreading to his teddy bear arms and legs and filling his teddy bear head and ears. When he opened his eyes they were filled with glorious light and determination. His fur had turned white and light shined in a large circle all around him. With purpose and newfound strength, Teddy Bear stood on the shelf. The End Playing With Toys 30 When Teddy Bear jumped down from his shelf, he walked with a wolf-like grace towards the enemy. Many of the smaller, tinier monsters he'd fought before fled just from the ring of light around him, unable to stand the brightness. He stopped right in front of the largest monster of all, the beast-like creature squinting angrily at him while resting a clawed hand on the Tall Girl. Take your filthy hand off of her, Teddy Bear said. His voice was quiet but seemed to fill the whole room, and there was a slight echo of menace. If you do not, then I will BREAK the frigging thing off and shove it up your scum-hole . There was deadly promise in his eyes as he said the last words. The beast laughed and shifted his hand without removing it. The Tall Girl screamed in her slumber and tossed and turned her head, obviously running from something horrible in the dream. Teddy Bear frowned and quivering with rage, shook his head ruefully. Then, before they could blink, Teddy Bear attacked. The End Playing With Toys 31 POW! SLAM! CRUNCH! CRACK! Teddy Bear barrelled into the shadow creatures with his bare teddy bear paws, riping them to shreds and spilling their inky blood that faded into shadow wherever it landed. Shadow flesh flew left and right as it was rended and torn from limb and body. The beasts hissed and howled in terror and pain as the bright white light hit them and they were brutally, mercilessly slaughered before his hands. And the last, the biggest one of all, no longer smirking arrogantly, huddled on the other side of the Tall Girl's bed, snarling fearfully. Teddy Bear spit off to the side and flexed his muscles and charged at the being. All of the others he'd torn to shreds effortlessly, like tissue paper. But the boss, he laid into him with everything he had, all his strength and power used to the fullest. But it was not enough. He beat it to a swollen bloody pulp, but he could not kill it. So he sent it home with as many broken bones and as demoralized as he couldand he kept his promise, breaking off one of the shadow's clawed arms and shoving it up his rear. Defeated, the shadow faded away back to it's realm of darkness never to show it's face in that room EVER again. The End Playing With Toys 32 Standing over the fitfully sleeping Tall Girl, the bright white Teddy Bear leaned down and kissed her forehead. The light that filled him spread from his lips into the girl leaving his body and filling her. When the bright light completely faded, the Tall Girl uttered a small sigh and her breathing eased. From his vantage point on the floor, Tall Ears had watched everything and stared in awe at Teddy Bear as he stood up straight and climbed down from the bed. The End Playing With Toys 33 On the ground Teddy Bear faced Long Ears. That was amazing! he said excitedly. I thought I could handle it on my own....but I was wrong. I'm sorry. I didn't have a clue what I was doing. Silently, Teddy Bear bitch slapped him so hard that he fell down and said to Long Ears as he sat on the floor stunned, Now, you are my bitch! And it was so. The End Official End.
