Chapter 16

Esmerelda was still bouncackling when they went out back to say goodbye. They got Esmerelda’s attention with a wave, and she landed on the ground with a small cackle. “Well dearies, was there something else you wanted? Would you like to help me do some more things?”

“No,” Dad said firmly, “we would not. We have the map you gave us. Thank you, that's enough.”

Esmerelda chuckled. “Be careful in the nether! It’s a dangerous place, but if you can find Baba Yaga, she can certainly get you home. She is a very powerful witch, much more powerful than me. There’s nothing she can’t do.”

“Thank you, Esmerelda,” Mom said, and tried to shake her hand.

Esmerelda looked at her funny. “What are you doing? Don’t touch me.”

“I’m, shaking your hand. It's something we do back home when we are saying hello or goodbye,” Mom said.

“Well, that’s just silly. Why not just say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye?’”

Mom opened her mouth to reply, but was stopped short. She didn’t actually know why people shook hands. She shut her mouth with a clack and nodded at the witch. “Well then, goodbye.”

They said their goodbyes to the witch, except for Bruce, who was too busy playing zoomies with her cat. They zipped all over the place, bopping each other, and zipping off again.

“Bruce!” Jack yelled. “It’s time to go!”

Bruce stopped suddenly and looked at Jack. The black cat couldn’t stop in time and slammed into Bruce, knocking him off the deck and into the smelly water of the swamp. Bruce leapt out of it, climbing onto a dry patch, hissing and spitting. “Oh great,” Mom said, “he’s going to stink even worse now.”

Bruce said, “Hiss, growl,” to Mom who rolled her eyes. Bruce then stuck his nose up at her and jumped onto Jack's shoulders.

“Ugh, he does stink!” Jack said. “But at least it’s not as bad as his gas!” Bruce ignored him and started cleaning himself.

“Come on everyone,” Dad said, waving them after him. He led them through the swamp and back to their treehouse they had built what felt like months ago. Mom got started cooking in the kitchen. Even though she could pull out food from her inventory, she still loved to cook.

“Well guys,” Dad said, “it’s family meeting time. We have a big decision to make. Obviously, Esmerelda wasn’t honest, and she couldn’t get us home like we thought. Now, it's going to take much longer. But our friends are still in danger. We could go try to help them, or we could follow this map to a portal that leads to the nether.”

“That’s an easy one, Dad,” Kate said. “We have to help our friends.”

“Yeah,” Jack agreed. “There's no question about it.”

A tear welled up in Mom's eyes. “You kids are the best. I’m so glad you care for others the way you do.”

“Of course, Mom,” Jack said. “We can’t let our friends be in danger! Besides, we could go to the nether any time. Heck, if I knew that's where we needed to go, we could have been there already.
