Molly Is Made Of The Color Red... Cool

I got into a fight with Molly, she's a dumb ugly princess!

We were playing kingdoms and she said I had to be a servant…

I told her, I'd rather be the wicked witch of the forest.

But she claims witches aren't real!

Said all I could hope for was to serve under people, that I was lower than a cow pie…

So I punched her in the nose, she toppled over into the mud with a humongous splash!

And I got this groovy red color to write with!

Win freaking win!!

Sorry Not Sorry

Ms. Raven suggested I apologize to Molly.

She said if I didn't, then I wouldn't get any sweets for like four months!

That's basically a bajillion years!!

So I walked over to Molly, I held out my hand…

And I punched her again!

I don't need sweets, they're for the weak!

Though tomorrow was pudding day…

I wonder if I apologize while she's sleeping, will it still count?

The No Pudding Blues

Everybody enjoyed pudding today.

I got extra veggies for my lunch.

Molly is always surrounded by tons of friends…

I just sit in the corner of the room on the floor, I've been writing in this dumb thing like every night so far. I guess it does in a way help me feel a bit less lonely, I just wish I had a friend to talk to sometimes.

Everybody in the room is laughing or smiling.

I wonder what it feels like to just be accepted?

Maybe I should apologize to Molly?

After all, she is maybe kinda cool…

Nightmare

I had a nightmare again!

I was walking around an old looking cave, I could make out my momma near a huge black cauldron. I wanted to so dearly run over and just hug her, but before I could a huge wave of fire erupted from the cauldron!

Smoke covered everything and I couldn't breathe...

I fell to my knees and screamed for my momma!

But she never came, I was all alone and frightened.

Covered in flames, though I didn't burn.

Momma, where are you?

Golly Molly

I apologized to Molly.

She just giggled and said I had pretty red hair.

I dunno about that?

I mean it's kinda long and tangled, I always seem to find junk in it!

But maybe it is pretty…

I think tonight I'm going to brush it.

Heehee, maybe tomorrow Molly can braid my hair!

The Important Questions

I started a fire!

And not with matches this time!!

I was painting my nails a cool violet color to show Molly when I accidentally started my polish on fire!

How?

I dunno!?

I was sorta staring at it and dazed off…

Then whoosh!

Blam!!

FIRE!

I wonder if I can heat up my oatmeal?

Her Name Is Cozy Glow

Cozy Glow?

I had a dream about talking to a pony?

Or maybe she was a donkey?

I dunno, she kinda was encased in stone.

But I could totally hear her voice, she sounded so sad and alone.

I asked if I could help her?

She spoke of magic, fire, and something else.

I couldn't really understand…

I felt myself drifting away.

Back to my reality.

This place I dream of…

It feels so far away…

Yet I feel as if I belong there?

Cozy…

I'll find a way to help you, I promise.

Growing Pains

My head hurts so much!

I feel as if I'm having a thousand headaches at once.

I just want to sleep all day, cuddling under my dirty sheets and dusty pillow.

Two very hard lumps appeared on my head last night, they're swollen and pulsing.

Maybe I should see the nurse?

I dunno, I just feel so sick today.

I miss my momma.

Burning Up

Anytime I try and eat, I vomit.

Anytime I get up to use the bathroom, I vomit.

Anytime I try to talk to my friends, I vomit.

I feel too hot, my skin is going to burst into flames!

I've been crying all night.

I'm scared, I just want to feel better.

Horns Are Gross?

Molly said that my horns are gross.

That they're long and icky.

I wouldn't call them long?

They're more like nubs.

Cute little nubs.

Anyways…

Molly canceled our playdate, so I'm just writing in my diary under the swing.

Maybe I should've tried to start a fire with my mind?

Would Molly have found that cool?

Or would I still be gross?

Cool A Spider!

Molly needed a lookout for the heist that took place tonight, I of course bravely volunteered! Which was a bit of a mistake, I'm not the type of person who can just keep my attention on one thing forever.

I might have accidentally got distracted by this awesome giant black spider! I mean it was as huge as my hand and could easily devour us in our sleep. So, of course, I had to try and catch it, it turns out Ms. Raven has excellent hearing.

Or my boots are like totally loud?

Long story short is this…

We got caught.

Molly is grossed out by me again.

Sarah kicked my knee.

Claire called me dumb.

And I tripped over my laces.

The spider didn't survive.

Butterfly

If I concentrate really hard.

I can make a tiny flame appear on my fingertips, it dances like a fiery butterfly on a gentle summer breeze. I wonder if I should share my gifts with everyone else, but I just end up thinking about Molly.

The moment I should my horns to her she just felt frightened, I don't want people to look at me in fear. I'd rather bring everyone a big smile or better yet some cheer!

I guess I need to keep this my secret for now.

So fly little butterfly on hidden fire wings, take my wishes for a better tomorrow and numb the painful stings.

Aftermath

Claire still is really mad at me.

I was taking out the trash for Ms. Raven, I didn't even see her walk up from behind.

The next thing I knew, I was falling down the front steps!

The bag broke my fall, which is lucky I guess.

Though it burst open and got trash juices all over my clothes.

“At least you're where you belong!”

I tried apologizing for my mistake, but that doesn't work at all.

She still says I'm the dumbest kid at the orphanage.

Molly said we could play at the swings later, I'm excited about that.

She's my bestie!

Real Friends

Molly never came to the swings, I thought perhaps it was because she got sick. But I found her in the movie room watching a Horror movie with the other girls, I didn't want to intrude so I just came back to my room.

I wonder if my daddy was here if he'd want to stick around me?

Would we be grumpy old goats together?

Or was I not of his feather?

I probably would just disappoint him, I tend to do that with everybody. I should just keep to myself if I'm such a Jinx on my friends!

Cozy, where are you!?

I'd do anything to talk with a real friend, she knows the pain of feeling alone. I bet with a little luck, this jinx could help her smile. A body of stone doesn't make you alone, as long as the heart burns with passion.

Diary Of A Wicked Witch

Hello, Diary I'm Draggle!

The weird suit lady suggested I write down my thoughts in this book.

I don't think it will help my nightmares, but what do I know?

I'm ten awesome years old and the orphanage says I have a pension for mischief!

My momma was a filthy old hag.

And my daddy a grumpy old goat.

When I was born, momma took one look and said…

“Well, this brat is going to drag me down.”

Hence my namesake!

I'm not sure why she gave me up though, some say she was exiled.

Others say she simply wasn't capable of love.

I like to think she just misplaced me, and one day she's gonna return to claim me!

Besides, she was a witch, she totally probably had lots of witchy things to take care of anyways.

I don't mind waiting here, I have dozens of loving friends!

And they all love me too!

Totally Awesome

Whoo-hoo!

I'm feeling better than ever!

I woke up in a cold sweat.

My fever totally was gone!

I felt like a million ducks!

I just want to go swimming!

Or run around and light a few matches!

Maybe even see what my friends have been up to!?

I bet they've missed me, I can even show them my cool new horns that popped out of my head last night!

They're totally awesome!!

Open For Suggestions

I've been hearing weird voices again?

Not Cozy this time.

More like ramblings deep inside my head.

I can kind of make them out…

But not all the time.

Molly asked if I wanted to join a Cookie Heist tonight!

The orphanage got a new shipment of girl scout cookies in, and we're going to totally make out like bandits!

Or maybe I should just try and use my powers again?

Practice does make perfect.

I dunno, I'm just bored.

Tonight I feel up for anything!

Author's Note
