Chapter25: The Journey To The Tree

The room was damp and old. Spider webs covered everywhere. I saw all of our stuff on an old table. 「Ahhh!」 I yelled as a little worm crawled out of the rotten wood…

「Don’t be a scaredy-cat!」 Laughed Ian. Ian was my cousin who turned into a cat in the morning and turned back into a boy at night. Well it was all because of an evil witch. So it was like that, my friend Nicole and Aunt Lily were all lost in the other world, that I guess was magical...I just missed the two of them so much (which is Nicole and Aunt Lily).

Jake picked the things up. And we went to the door. But before we reached the door handle,the door opened by itself. But I didn’t see anything. Still we all ran to hide.I hid under the table. Khloe and the cat hid behind the curtains. Jake hid behind the statue of Johnny Appleseed (美國民間英雄).    

Uncle Joey walked in, 「I thought I heard some sounds…」 He mumbled and walked out of the room.

After a while, we went out of hiding. 「Blah blah, blah.」 I muttered.

「Well…that sure is Uncle Joey, Que!」 Khloe said.

We went to my room, and put the things in the same old and plain bag.

In the night, there was a big full moon hanging in the sky. 「It is time!」 I told my fellow friends.

I went into Uncle Joey’s room. 「We all need to go to a friend’s house!」 I lied.

We all went out into the woods. But before we got into the forest, Ian transformed back into a boy again.

「Cool!」Khloe commented.

We went in. It was so dark that the only thing I could see was the skeletal tree branches stretching out at us

Jake reached into the bag and pulled out the ring. He happily placed it on a tree branch.And suddenly a green butterfly appeared and flew away. The boys ran after it. Me and Khloe looked at each other, and ran after them.

Soon,we were standing in front of a large and old tree. I looked at the others and understood: this is life or death

I grabbed the hook in one hand and charged at the tree. Vines flew at me. But I ducked and jumped. Finally, I grabbed a thick vine in the other hand and pulled. I got on to it! The vine tried to get me off. But I was strong enough. I used the hook to get the handle of the door upon me. It worked! I pulled on it and climbed up.I got to the door and put the key into the basket to stop the tree from moving.After that, my friends climbed up. I took the key out of the basket to open the door. But the vines started moving again. So we all jumped in quickly.

「That was fun!」 Jake said.
