"Mother! Father!"

Fee flew over to his parents, smiling and singing his words to them. It had been yet another pleasant day in Nightopia, and Fee and his parents were about to go to their home.

"Fee, slow down!" Fee's mother chuckled. "There's no rush, we have plenty of time before it gets dark out." Fee giggled and stopped in midair, waiting for his parents to catch up with him.

"Your mother's right," Fee's father sung. "It's at least two hours before the sun will go down. No worries." Fee sung a high note of happiness, and continued on the path with his parents.

Not long later, the happy Nightopian family was only a few dream minutes away from being at their house. Fee looked back to see both his parents smiling and laughing together, and he smiled. His father was very respected as the first King Nightopian to come out of an egg in quite a while, which meant he basically ran the little area of Spring Valley where Fee and his parents resided. Fee never bragged about this. He simply enjoyed his fairly quiet life in Nightopia.

Fee looked back again.

...Where were they?

Fee's heart started to race. His parents had just suddenly disappeared into thin air--but there had to be a logical--

"EEEEEEEEEEEheeeheeHEEEEEEEE!"

The shrieking laugh jolted Fee upwards. He began to shake in fear and look around. Nightopia seemed to become black all around him as he madly tried to figure out the source of the cackle.

"Little Pian-Pian-Pian! Guess what IIIIIIIII've got!!! EEEEEEheeeHEEEE!"

Fee suddenly saw a mysterious shadow cast over him, and when he turned around, a nightmarish being that had to be at least 15 feet tall was towering over him. He shrieked. The first instinct he had was to run, but Fee somehow knew that would get him nowhere. So he flew upwards, past the dirty white, orange, red, and yellow of the mantle the being wore, trying to find out what the heck it was talking about.

And the moment Fee got to the being's gloved hands, it knew.

"F-------Fee------e-----e---" Fee's mother sing-cried. "R------ru------uuu-------n---"

"Mama! Papa! No!" Fee wailed, shaking horribly. He nearly fell out of the air with the amount of fear he was experiencing, and that horrible, cruel laugh just made it all worse...

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEhe! Oooooh, loooooooky what we've got here! The King Pian of Spring Valley! And this must be his love-er-ly Queeen! EEEEEEEHEEEEHEE! Now, little-little one, which do I eat first?! Aaaagh, I'm so hungry!" the being shrieked. Fee shook his head and cried out, and it just made the mostly-invisible being laugh all the worse. "If I'm not gonna get an answer, I'm just gonna pick one all by myself!" Fee sing-screamed as he saw his mother being raised up to the being's mouth.

"NOOOOOO!" Fee shouted. The being stopped for a moment.

"What d'you mean, little-little Pian? My stomach doesn't know the meaning of that word! EeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeHEEEEEEE!"

Fee heard and saw the whole thing. The sickening crunches were enough to make his blood run cold; they were enough to reduce him to a blubbering mess.

"Mmm... salty, yet satisfying. Did you little-Pi's go swimming today? Cause I like that taste," the being stated, licking his gloves slightly. "Ehehehehe... Don't worry little-little one, the King's gonna be next!" And with that, the being lifted Fee's father to his mouth full of fangs, and dropped him in.

~~~

Fee didn't know what happened after. He passed out, and the next thing he knew he awoke on the very same grass he'd been walking on right before the death of his parents. He had no intention of standing up, or even walking back to his house. All he did was lay there. A few tears rolled down his cheeks as he wondered, "Why?" Why did it have to happen so suddenly? And so cruelly? Did someone up there decide that he deserved it? What had he done wrong?

Rolling over, Fee suddenly saw a glint in the grass. Slowly, he reached his hand out and grabbed onto the shining object. He brought it to his face and saw that it was his mother's locket. Opening it up, Fee saw a picture of his whole family, all together. A soft lullaby-like tune drifted up from the locket as well; an old tune that Fee had heard his mother sing to him to help him sleep.

Fee slipped the locket on around his neck and tucked it under his collar and shirt.

He would never forget.
