A Villain's Story

You know how fairytales are usually all about the good side? Well, I think that's overrated at times and we don't often talk about the villain's point of view. This week's contest would be a little interesting as I challenge you all to write A Villain's Story.

Much like the movie 'Maleficient', you are to create your own villain, his/her background, the world he/she is living in and other stuff you can think of to give the villain some depth. You can talk about the good people but I want to story to be mostly about the villain or villains. Let's start cranking up that creative juice and I'm really excited to see what you guys can come up with.

PS : This contest is created only for the members of #powerhousecreatives.

Top Favourite Picks (1 Steem + 1 Rank Perk)

In this house by @wales

In this haunted house, servants are like sleeping policemen and terribly hard to find for the looking, and most especially when you’re calling from the bottom of an endless well full of echoes; but I’m not terribly fussy really, I’ll take a naked one if it comes to the pinch, or even a gardener offering me a rose with her teeth. Yes, these days I’ll take anything I can get.
Oh, but they’re a lazy bunch around here; why, only yesterday I found them all lounging around in my Jacuzzi and slurping juice and smoking stuff and laughing over nothing; made me feel strange, I can tell you. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not a couch slipper yet, oh no, I can still do a reasonable tango at a stretch; it’s just, the servants are a really strange bunch, and don’t come when I call them to get me what I want when I desire something...

The Bully by @jayna

Principal Swank leaned back, his rolling chair squeaking beneath him, and placed his fingers behind his head as if he intended to take a nap. “We don’t tolerate bullying here, Brandon.”
Brandon shifted in his chair. He was embarrassed that his feet didn’t quite touch the floor, even though he was sitting right on the edge of it, almost falling out. He looked down. “But I… don’t like Randy.”

Malefactor by @free-reign

Most people shy away from doing things that could be interpreted as evil, with evil being anything they are afraid of, and/or any thought or action that they were taught is wrong to evenconsider, let alone pursue. This is foolishness of such proportion that I define those humans who have bought into this theme, weaklings.
It takes someone like me, the alpha male of all alpha males to decide what life shall be like for all of you below me. I take no prisoners, but prisoners are the only thing I will not take....

Welcome to Pecahomi Bay by @justclickindiva

The couple couldn't believe their good fortune as the travel agent called with a cancellation. Just off the coast of the Pecahomi Bay, the woman thought the view of the idyllic town was absolutely breathtaking. Glancing quickly at the brochure the nice travel agent at Pecahomi Bay Ocean Resorts included in their vacation packet, she smiled as she remembered the overly helpful young lady thinking, she'll be successful.
Giddy with long awaited anticipation, the woman reached over and gently rubbed her fiance's cheek as their shiny red alfa reached the resort...

Honorable Mentions (0.5 Steem)

The Cyclist - Based on Real Facts by @fmbs25

That afternoon of March 27, like every afternoon of the previous months, Geraldine was getting ready to go for a bike ride with her beloved husband, not knowing that death awaited her less than a kilometer from home, they took their usual walk, and stayed a long time next to a chapel that is on the road, it was a chapel that had been created to a cyclist who more than 20 years ago had died in an accident on the same site. They saw the clock, it was 5:58 pm, let's go it's getting late! she said, and when they were going back to her house a few meters from that chapel, inexplicably she fell hitting her head very hard, and remaining without vital signs for at least 5 minutes...

LIFE STEALER by @mrnightmare89

The 25 years old Janson became a succesful businessman. Many people were confused how the hell did he became succesful. He was 16 years old when his both parents were found dead in their house. Janson was still student at the moment and he didn't know what to do in his life. Surprisingly he made up to be on the top. He became popular for his business and also for being so ruthless. There's some rumours that he's the responsible of the killing in the city...

A Wolf after Your Own Heart by @iamraincrystal

This very manor that once stood witness to our love, now lies as a spectacle to these commoners! Oh my sweet Clara, if you could just remember, would you let them just traipse around our home.
You may be wondering who I am, the man in the shadows... I've come by many names during these past centuries, the Wolfman being one, but I digress. You may know me as Fenrir...

By The Grace of Fire by @tryskele

Kilara sat by the fire. As she gazed into the flames she was flooded with memories of the past. How far she had come in life and her power. The memories of her parents, the destruction of her village, the deaths of her family and later her husband then her children.
None of this would have happened had her family fought back. Well perhaps it would have been worse, but what is worse than this? Her family followed the laws and orders of the king because that was their duty. Overall they were happy and no reason to believe that being good citizens and neighbors would lead to their deaths. All of this so long ago...
