One day two teenage boys were walking through the woods, on their way home and unaware of what they were about to find. Their names were Perry and Adriel and they were walking for what seemed like to be forever. Perry originally wanted to take an easy way back but Adriel suggested they go into the woods telling him he knew a shortcut and it would be like a little adventure. They kept walking and then decided to take a rest by a nearby tree. They wanted to keep going and get back home but they couldn't. They knew that they were lost but they didn't want to admit it, Especially Adriel. Perry slumped back on the tree and groaned. He pulled out his phone to check the time it was around 6:30. It was getting late and he had to get back home. Sighing to himself, he put his phone back in his pocket and turned around to see where Adriel was sitting he saw him looking up at the sky thinking to himself and saying: ¨Alright dude break times over let's keep on moving¨ Perry with eyes widened said to him:¨Moving?!For what?Face it Adriel we´re lost. It's like we're going through a maze. I've been seeing the same trees and bushes”. Adriel, now defending himself, said to him:¨But I told you I know a shortcut¨ ¨You've been saying that for like an hour now! Yet here we still are. You know what, instead of walking I suggest you and I just stay here call our parents and tell them to come pick us up or just wait until someone finds us” ¨Perry as much as I would like to agree with you on that I have to say no because I'm not that kind of person who just sits around and waits to be rescued, I'm going your either coming with me or not your choice.¨ Adriel ran leaving his friend behind. ¨Adriel Get back here! It's bad enough we were lost. I don't want us to get separated.” Perry ran after his friend trying to keep up with him but then he tripped on a rock and fell. When he got back up he heard Adriel say: ¨Hey perry check this out!¨ he walked towards his friend and groaned a little bit and said to him: ¨What is it now Adriel¨, but before he could say anything else he looked up in front of him and saw a large building, it was a dark grayish blue with brown roofing, doors, and windows. It was a mansion, a big one, from Perry's perspective it was amazing but at the same time it gave off a creepy vibe and felt some kinda dark aura surrounding it that made him feel sick to his stomach. ¨Isn't it awesome?!¨ exclaimed Adriel. ¨ya, it is¨ Perry added. ¨I have an idea, let's go inside, it's getting late and we can probably stay there for the night¨ Adriel said, now walking towards the doors. ¨Well maybe we could but its a house we don't know if someone lives here and if they'll let us stay, besides this place is giving me the creeps¨ Perry said now worried, but Adriel who was still not giving up hope said to him: ¨oh come on dude, I know it looks weird but you can't judge a book by its cover and I doubt that anyone lives here it looks super abandoned¨ ¨I don't know Ardiel, I think saw a mailbox somewhere¨ Perry said looking around. ¨Well, only one way to find out¨ Adriel walked up to the doors, went on the porch and found a doorbell, he pressed it, it runged but no answer. He pressed it again, still no answer. ¨See perry, what did I tell you?No one lives here. Now let's get inside-¨. Then all of a sudden the doors flew open and a cloud of green magical smoke started to come out of it and surround the boys. Perry and Adriel, now horrified, tried to run away but the smoke was pulling them towards it. They kept resisting but it kept pulling them closer and closer towards the entrance until they were knocked unconscious and were finally pulled in and the doors slammed shut. An hour later, Perry woke up and instead of seeing his bedroom ceiling in his house he found himself to be in a jail cell of some kind, now confused and scared he slumped back on the wall and took his phone out to see if he could call for help but much to his dismay there was no service. Sighing to himself he sat down and then something caught his eye, across from him he saw Adriel laying on the floor unconscious. Now relieved, he ran towards him shouting his name: ¨Adriel!, thank god you're here now we can get out of-¨ He tried to run but something held him back ¨Huh?¨ He looked behind him and saw he was bound by chains of some kind. Terrified, he banged on the cell door and screamed ¨Help me! Please somebody get me out of here!¨. But, It was no use, no one was coming for him. ¨Sorry kid, but I'm not letting you out anytime soon.” A femnine voice called out. Perry, confused, looked up and saw a woman standing in front of him. She had long black hair, pale skin, was wearing a black dress, gloves, high heeled boots, and jewelry. In her hand, she was carrying a staff of some kind with gemstones on it, but the most eerie thing about her was she was wearing a mask that was covering up her whole face leaving it expressionless. ¨Who-who are you?Why am I here? What did you do to my friend?!” Perry shouted to her. She spread out her arms and said: ¨I am Zerisha, I'm the mistress of this mansion and you were trespassing and you must be punished.¨ She then looked at where Adreil was lying and said: ¨Oh, and as for your friend, he's under a spell, a sleeping spell, he'll be fine but not for long¨. Perry, now shocked, studied her for a moment. He could tell that she was smiling under the mask. He turned his head both ways looking at his friend and then at her. ¨Spell?!, you're a witch? An actual witch?¨ He said, now questioning her. ¨Yup, that's right¨ She said with pride, ¨Now that the introductions are out of the way,¨ she then made her staff glow and point it towards Perry and Adriel: ¨It is time for you to-¨ ¨Wait!¨ Perry stopped her. Now confused, Zerisha put her staff down and looked at him: ``What is it?¨ she said angrily. ¨Listen, I'm sorry we were trespassing on your property we didn't know, me and my friend we were lost and trying to find our way back home and then we found your house and he decided to go near it but I told him not to and then well, you know the rest.¨ Zerisha sighed, now feeling sympathy for the boy. She sat down and thought to herself before coming to a conclusion. ¨Well then, since you apologized I shall let you go, awaken your friend, and have you two returned home safely¨. Surprised, Perry kneeled down and smiled at her: ¨Really?!, OMG! Thank you!” "But,¨ she smirked. "You have to do something for me". Perry got back up frowning and glared at her: "oh come on, seriously?! what do I have to do?". ¨You must go to the deepest part of the woods and find me this¨ With a wave of her hands she made a picture of a plant appear and showed it to Perry ¨It's a blue orchid and with it I can brew a sleeping potion that will help a awaken your friend, so yeah¨. Convinced, Perry took the picture, looked at it and then at her and said: ¨Alright, I'll do it¨. Zerisha smiled, ¨Good, but...¨ .¨Ugh, what now?¨ Perry said, already fed up with her antics. ¨You must find it within 2 hours and you must be careful, it's dark and you dont what could be hiding in the shadows. Oh, and if you fail...you and your friend can just kiss tomorrow goodbye. So, it all depends on you¨. ¨What? Really? that's not really a fair bet you know, can't you just undo the spell and we go our separate ways?¨ Perry practically shouted. ¨Sorry kid, it's either that or I cast a spell on you.¨ She shrugged and held up her hand to him. ¨Now then, do we have a deal?¨. Perry looked down for a moment and thought to himself he was hesitant. But, he had to do it, for him, for his friend even though it was his fault he was in this. He accepted his challenge, and shook Zerisha’s hand. ¨Very well, I accept your challenge.¨. She smiled and used her staff to undo his restraints and unlock the cell door: ¨Good, but before you go take this¨ . She made a bag appear in his hands. ¨What's this?¨ he asked, getting out of the cell. ¨Its a bag of supplies that will help you defend yourself in case you get in trouble and a flashlight so you can navigate your way but, use them when you really need it don't just waste it.¨ He clenched the bag and said: ¨Alright, I will, uhh..thank you¨. She smiled. ¨Good, Now go¨ she teleported them into the woods and looked at him: ¨Ok kid, you already know the rules so I suggest you get started right away¨. ¨Ok, I will¨ said Perry. ¨Now then the timer is set and remember what you're doing this for, good luck, you're really gonna need it.¨ She said teleporting herself back while laughing maniacally leaving him alone. Perry sighed and went into the bag and pulled out the flashlight, turned it on and started walking. He looked up to the sky and said: "Adriel, even though you're the one who got us into this mess, I'm gonna save us, no matter what¨. He walked for quite some time now and so far nothing has happened. He smiled and thought ¨I dont know what she was talking about, this is easy! And I still have plenty of time!¨ Just before he could continue on he heard a loud noise, scared, he twirled around the flashlight but nothing was there. Shrugging he kept walking but then all of a sudden a bunch of wolves jumped out and growled at him. ¨Seriously? I thought this was going to be easy.¨ He grumbled and the wolves came charging at him, terrified he quickly reached into the bag and looked for something to defend himself with and that's when he found a box of matches and got an idea. ¨Maybe I can use this to light a torch and lure them away¨” He thought as he lit a match, grabbed a branch and set it on fire. Now with his torch lit he put in front of the wolves and they backed away slowly. ¨Huh, what do you know? It seems to be working!¨ He kept on walking forward to them until the wolves finally ran away. Satisfied he put out the torch and kept on walking still with the flashlight in his hands feeling optimistic that he would find the flower. He kept on walking. Some time later he heard a familiar voice call out to him¨ Hey kid, it's me, Hope your doing well¨ She chuckled ¨Just to remind you have an hour left to find the plant so I suggest you hurry, tik tok.¨ Now given the warning, he walked faster into the woods, avoiding many obstacles along the way, such as swarms of bugs and rabid birds which he used a special spray to help knock them out. He kept on walking and was starting to give up, but then he saw something shining in the distance, he shined the flashlight over and then there it was the blue orchid!. Smiling with hope he ran towards it and tried to grab it, but it was not coming out! Now angry he pulled as hard as he could to get it out but it was just not budging. Sighing, he finally let go of the flower and held his head down in shame and thought to himself ¨Oh Come on!Why?! I did everything and now this! Ugh, Adriel, I failed you and I failed us and now we're never gonna get back home.¨ He was just about to give up but then he said: ¨Wait a minute maybe there's something in the bag that can help me get it out!¨ More enthusiastic as ever he reached into the bag and fondled his hand around and found a large pocket knife. ¨This could work!¨ He thought. He then grabbed the plant and used the knife to cut it out of its root. He kept cutting and cutting until it finally came out!. Smiling, he grabbed the flower and shouted with Joy. ¨I did it! I got it! Were saved!. Then he heard Zerisha’s voice call out: ¨Alright, times up!¨ And he was teleported back to the mansion. Now in the mansion, setting the bag down, he walked up to Zerisha and handed her the flower: ¨Ok witch, I did what you ask, here it is, now awakened my friend and get us out of here¨. She took the flower and said to him: ¨I must say you've done well, I didn't actually think you would make it, but, nevertheless a deal is a deal I shall make the potion. Wait here¨ She walked over to a cauldron where he could see several bottles full of colorful liquids and ingredients hanging on shelves, she grabbed a few things and put into the cauldron along with the flower and stirred it up until it was ready, she then scooped some of it up and put it into a bottle and handed it to Perry: ¨This is a sleeping potion if you make your friend drink it he will wake up safe and sound¨. Perry grabbed it and said ¨Thank you, I will do that. Now please take us back.¨ ¨Very well, I shall, but know this my boy, if I ever catch you in my home ever again...it won't be as easy to get out as it was today, Also here's your friend.¨ She said in a cold voice, threatening him and making Adriel's unconscious body appear right next to him. Perry nodded in agreement saying he will remember that and throwing Adriel over his back. Zerisha smiled and then she waved her staff around making green sparkles appear and muttering some words and instantly teleporting them out of the woods and back into their neighborhood. Perry smiled, seeing that they were right in front of his and Adriel’s houses and saw that the sun was rising. Setting Adriel down he grabbed the bottle, opened it, poured it into Adriel's mouth and lifted his head up so he could swallow it. A few minutes later Adrie woke up, panting, looking both ways and then at Perry: ¨Ugh, dude what happened? I-What? We're back home?! But how? Where are the woods? The green smoke? The mansion? He asked, surprised and confused. Perry smiled, relieved that his friend was ok and held his hand up to him getting him back up and said: ¨Listen, I'll tell you all about that later, right now we need to get home our parents must be worried sick¨. Adriel tilted his head confused but he agreed with him ¨Uhh…ok well bye Perry, see you later and you better tell me what happened because I'm really looking forward to it.¨ He said while walking towards his house and waving at his friend. Perry waved back:¨Bye Adriel¨ He walked towards his house and walked up on the porch and opened the door, went inside and closed it. It was a terrifying but interesting night and he will never forget it. The End
