Day: 21. June 2009

Here you go everyone! Sorry it’s late, but i thought I had already put this part up. *smiles sheepishly*

“Girl! Get out of that snow area this INSTANCE!” screeched a loud voice. Shocked, I whipped my head around and saw a crabby old lady wearing grey rags, hunched over. I stood up quickly. Ok, seeing odd women in the snow, is most defiantly the second sign of madness.

“Sor- sorry miss. But-t I’m lo- lost.” I stuttered.

The woman marched over to me, with a grumpy look on her face. Her hair was black, but you could see where it was turning gray. Her eyes were also black as coal, and her face wrinkled and gross.

“Lost? Indeed. What is your name, girl?”

I wish she would stop calling me that. Geez. I already knew I was a girl.

“Me? Oh, my name is Ara White.” I cringed at how ironic my name was, while standing in the snow. The old woman just gasped, and smiled.

“Come, my dear, out of the cold!” She patted my shoulder with her crippled hand, and led me out of the clearing. Thank goodness, the snow was giving me the creeps for some reason.

“So, um, where do you live exactly?” I asked, trying to make conversation. All I got in return was a grim look.

“Hush girl. We are almost there anyway.” She replied. I poked my tongue at her back. What a crabby old lady!

“Here we are!” The lady said, and pointed at a hole in the ground.

“Sorry? Where?” She didn’t mean the hole, right? What kind of sane person lives in a hole?

“Right there.” She pointed at the hole again. Gosh, she DOES mean the hole!

“Um, ok.” I tried to figure out how to get into the hole, and I stepped up to it so my toes were hanging over the edge. Maybe there is a ladder somewhere, I thought.

I looked right over the edge, and saw some metal glinting. I reached down so I could climb the ladder, when something hard hit my back, and I toppled forward, and fell head first into the deep hole, screaming.

“A WITCH!”Ginger screamed. “Shhh, keep it down will you?” I hissed. “Okay, Okay,”Ginger said more quietly, “But I’m just surprised.” “Honey,” said I gental voice,”Where are you?” “Oh,no,” Ginger said looking worried,”It’s Mom. Can you do some magic and poof your self invisible?” “Sure,” I said and whispered a spell and, “Poof!”, I was invisible. Just then Ginger’s mother walked into the room.”Well there you are,” she said,”What wre you doing here?” “Umm, I was sleeping,” she said inticating the messed up bed. “Oh,well I was wondering if you could collect the corn, we’re running out of corn you know,” Her mother told her. “Okay, Mom, I’ll be right there in five minutes,” Ginger said politly. After Ginger’s mother was out of the room I turned visible again. “Few that was a close one!”she said wiping sweat off her forehead, “Do you mind comeing to the corn field with me?” “No thanks I have to go home,” I said. “Where do  you live?”Ginger asked as she made the bed. “In the castle,” I replied. Ginger looked at me as if I’d told her I lived in a garbage can. “You live in the castle,”she asked real slow. “Ya, why?”I answered. “Are you a maid or are you a seamtress or a lady-inwaiting?” he asked real fast. “None, I’m the princess,” I said. Now Ginger looked confused. “The princess? But There is already a princess,” “What!” I said now totally confused,”But who?” “Princess Victoria,” replied a deep voice and a man steped into the room.
The man was a handsome man. “Oh, umm, hi, Dad,” Ginger said nerviously. “Ginger,” the man’s vioce said,”We told you not to bring her here.” “But she’s a witch, Dad! She can porvide for herself.” Ginger protested. “Rumors are so easy to spread,”he said I wasn’t sure if he were speaking outloud or talking to himself, then to Ginger,”How do you know she is a witch?” “She can turn invisible!”exclaimed Ginger, then turning to me she said show my dad please,” So I muttered a spell under my breath and poof I was invisible. “See,” Ginger said to her father, “She is a witch.” “Well, I gusse she is,”her father said in awe. I smiled. Little things could impress a big person!
