Chapter 16
The castle rumbled with the excitement of the inhabitants inside. The dark pillars reached to the top of the stone roof. Five thin round towers surrounded the outside of the castle. The narrow walls made of black stone and the dull, and the thin windows scattered all over made that one feel as though they were royalty. The great, metal gate welcomed one into the castle. Fields of nothingness surrounded the castle. The staircases swirled around the seemingly magical entrance hall. The once empty corridors were now full of many creatures. Voldy Moldy’s castle was alive. Everyone was now in one place, completely oblivious to what was to come. Marlin sat at his desk, happy with what he had accomplished with Moldy Voldy gone. The power had seemed to go to his head, for he was acting very cocky. Marlin ordered Benjamin to grab his tea as he tapped his fin in a daunting way on his cold, dark desk. Marlin felt as though he had control over the world. He had won over his girl, taken charge of Voldy’s castle, and he had befriended Jasper and Edward. Marlin was lost in his own dark and corrupt soul. Marlin snatched the tea from Benjamin.
“Sir… Nemo is worried… he says that you are acting strange… and there are peopl...,” Benjamin started before Marlin could interrupt.
“They all always say I am crazy,” he cackled “I… I am not crazy!” he yelled as he squeezed his tea. “They are just jealous… yes, jealous! Nemo has always been jealous of me! I am the more dominant fish… In fact… I am the most dominant creature!”
Marlin reached for the knife that was tucked under his desk. Benjamin backed away knowing that whatever was grasped in Marlins hand was not safe for anyone. Marlin held the knife to Benjamin's throat, breathing heavily.
“The voices tell me that they are wrong! THEY ARE ALL WRONG!” spat Marlin whose knife was scraping Benjamin's collarbone.
Marlin’s fins caressed the area where his knife lay.
“You were always good to me,” said Marlin, his eyes bulged out and a wide grin plastered on his face.
Benjamin was still too startled to move out of the tight grasp of Marlin. Benjamin's eyes followed the knife as it slowly made way to his chin. It seemed to have scraped off a portion of his hair, but no more than that. Benjamin froze as Marlin seemed to be leaning in. What would shrek think? Could Marlin have a thing for Benjamin? Marlin’s fishy lips touched Benjamin’s. They tasted like fresh lemon sherbert. Benjamin stroked Marlins gills. All of a sudden, Shrek came in. His moist abs showing through his thin tan shirt.
“Shrek…” started Benjamin.
Shrek stormed out of the room and Benjamin ran to follow. They left Marlin sitting alone clutching his knife.
Dumbledaddy stirred some honey into his tea as Voldy sucked on his crusty feet. They were in Voldy’s castle. It felt as though they were meant to be. Voldy's bald head was shining brighter than the sun… and those toes… they really turned Dumbledaddy on. Voldy was startled when he saw Conjug and Duo by the door. They were the only people that Voldy feared… other than Matthew Morrison. Everyone seemed to be in one place… in Voldy Moldys castle. But it wasn’t exactly the most ideal scenario.
“I sense death coming about,” whispered Dumbledaddy.
Voldy froze… he knew that if he wanted to live his dream cottagecore romance with Dumbledaddy, then he would have to leave. But it was his own castle… he couldn’t let them overtake it! Voldy gripped his scented strawberry shortcake doll in his right foot. Dumbledaddy sipped his tea as they looked each other in the eye. They heard a slight moaning coming from Conjug and Duo snogging in the other room. Voldy needed to get rid of them… time to AVADA KEDAVRA…
