WITCHES!

THE MINES BENEATH THE SNOW-COVERED GROUND were empty. Steve was beginning to lose hope, but his wolf Rufus was just happy to be on an adventure.

“We’ll find diamonds,” Lucy said, trying to cheer him up while they made their way to the surface.

They broke through the ceiling above them, and the sun shined. The humid air felt sticky on Steve’s skin.

Steve stepped out and into a marshy pit. “Ugh,” he said as he shook the water from his boots.

“It’s the swamp,” said Max, looking out at the water coated with lily pads. Rufus walked over to the lily pads and began to drink from the water.

The water was a deep blue, and the sky had a purplish glow. Night was beginning to fall, and the full moon was growing brighter by the minute. Steve had never seen anything so vibrant yet spooky. In the swamp, sugar canes and vine-covered trees sprouted from patches of water.

“Look at that yucky green water,” Steve said as he pointed to a patch of what seemed to be polluted water.

“That’s not water!” shouted Max. “That’s slime!”

The green blocks of slime inched toward the group. Henry took out his bow and arrow. He fired a shot at the slime. An enormous slimeball oozed through the evening sky and shot slime in every direction. The group shielded themselves from the green gooey substance.

Henry grabbed vines and said, “We can create a ladder to escape the slimes.”

Max piled blocks behind them to break their fall while the gang climbed high above the swamp.

“The moon is getting bigger,” said Lucy

“Or we’re just getting closer,” added Max

“No, it’s a full moon,” said Henry, whose voice seemed to shake as he spit out the last few words, “and that means one thing—witches!”

“Witches?” Steve had enough. They were still hiding from the slime, and now they had to be on the lookout for witches.

“I’m going to—” Henry cried out as he fell from the ladder of vines. The blocks broke his fall, but he couldn’t get back on the vines and landed on the ground below.

“We have to help him,” Steve said while he climbed down and found himself surrounded by three slimes.

Lucy adjusted her bow and arrow as she made her way down the vines. She shot one slime. Steve backed away, avoiding being drenched with a slimeball. Suddenly a mini-slime jumped on Steve and made him lose energy. He hit the slime and it bounced off his skin.

Max jumped from the ladder and plunged his sword into the slimes. Green guts flew through the air.

Steve ran over to Henry, “Are you okay?”

“Yes, but look behind you!” warned Henry. “It’s a witch hut.”

The brown building stood on the grassy marshland. Above it, the moon grew larger, filling the sky as the stars glistened. A small woman opened the front door. She was drinking a tiny glass filled with a potion.

“A witch!” Lucy said as she ran. “Watch out Steve, she’s drinking a speed potion. We have to move fast.”

Steve grabbed Henry by the arm and pulled him from the swampy ground and away from the witch.
