Loretta watched as Xavier crept up to the strangely smelling rock. They had both been told by the towns people that Ogres were able to hide themselves by rolling up and planting themselves on the ground to look like a giant rock. They never actually fought an ogre before, they didn’t know what to expect.\n\nLoretta was given the signal from Xavier to throw something beside the weird rock. After she did, the rock slowly started to rise from the ground into an ugly looking man that resemble more of a bolder than a man. It had moss growing over its body and all kinds of insects where its stomach lied on the ground.\n\nThe Ogre stood only a few feet away from her and the height difference was huge. She readied her crossbow and aimed for its heart. Xavier stood on the other side of it holding his axe ready to let it go. With a quiet click of Loretta’s crossbow they both let their weapons do the rest of the work.\n\nOnce they knew the creature was dead, They started they're [[Travel Home]]\n\n
On a cold and wet, dark night, there was an old cabin, alone in the dark forest of Hoaken. In this cabin there lived a family of four; a mother, a father, a brother named Xavier and a sister named Loretta. The family was pretty much full of happiness, although the happiness seemed quite mysterious; folks would take of mysterious things happening around the family’s cabin, mysterious creatures lurked in the shadows and there was always a mysterious hum that came from the basement of the house. But as always, no one said anything about it for; they felt that it wasn’t worth making an up heap about the matter.\n But on this night in particular, as the father tucked in his two children in for bed; there was a branch that cracked from outside. It seemed to come from right beside the window. The mother looked at him, with an expression of, “Go check it out!” So the father picked up his rifle and took a step outside. As soon as he shut the door behind him, there was a scream of terror and all that was heard was the father crying out for help.\nShocked and scared, the mother told the children to stay inside and right away went outside; there was another scream, but this time from the mother! The kids panicked and Loretta jumped into Xavier’s bed and they both hid under the blankets.\n\n\n[[10 years later]]
“You don’t belong here creature hunters” growled the over sized wolf.\n“A werewolf, original.” said Xavier completely unalarmed by the oversized beast.\n“Xavier shut it. Look wolfie, we want the people you took. Give us that and we’ll debate on whether or not we’ll kill you.”\n“I go by Chase, not ‘wolfie’, so do not call me that. And as for the people problem, I have no idea what you’re talking about, I haven’t been near civilization in months.” growled the Chase.\n“If you didn’t take them then who did? Eh? Fairies?” exaggerated Xavier.\n“Don’t get snarky with me creature hunter, I’m stronger than most werewolves, don’t test me.” he growled.\n“Then if you didn’t do anything wrong, why try to jump me?” asked Loretta curiously.\n“I thought it be fun, you seem like something who could put up a good fight, I like that in a girl.”\n“Hey, watch it. That’s my sister you’re talking to.” Xavier said protectively pulling Loretta to his side.\n“Yeah, Yeah. If that is all you want I suggest you get off my land.” grumbled Chase.\n“Whoa, whoa, whoa, you never answered my question mutt. If you didn’t take anyone, who did?” asked Xavier.\n“Maybe it was the witch.” replied Chase as if he never heard the insult.\n“What witch? There hasn’t been a witch in these parts for years.” Loretta said looking uneasy.\n“Oh but there is. And she’s the reason your parents are dead.”\nXavier and Loretta gasped at the bit of information. It hit them hard, like a bolder falling off a cliff and crushing an innocent creator. Memories of when they were little and their parents still around came back to them. It haunted them. Xavier acted less pained then Loretta ever did but this got to him just as much as it go to her.\n“Tell us where to find the damn witch and we won’t kill you. That’s a creature hunters promise.” Xavier said filled with anger.\n“That’s a pretty good deal Creature hunter, I’ll take it. I’ll even escort you personally.” Chase shot a wink at Loretta.\n“ It’s a deal!” exclaimed Xavier.\n\n[[Give monster mercy and get help to find the creature that kill parents]]
“Should I?” the witch asks, then opens her month and a bunch of bees come out, going out after Xavier and Loretta.\n“What are we going to do Xavier?!” she asks horrified.\nI’m still trying to figure that out...” Xavier answers, breathing hard.\nThe witch laughs, letting more bees come out as she goes. She begins to spin around and around holding her head up laughing.\n“I got an idea...” Loretta says then pulls away from her brother’s grasp, then starts running towards the witches back with her knife out ready to stab.\n“What are you doing?!” Xavier calls after her. \n“Finishing the story!” Loretta answers then jumps onto the witch’s back and stabs her in the neck. Xavier comes jogging over and looks down at the dying witch.\n “Have a nice day...” he tells her mockingly then pulls the knife from inside her neck to the side, cutting her head off.\n“It’s over brother.” Loretta says smiling at him.\n“Yes, yes it is...” he responds. The two of them get up then walk outside of the lair and world seems cleaner. Then all of a sudden the big tree that the witch loved in disappears and all the forest lights up green with life. Loretta and Xavier look up with a smile and they quietly whisper to the sky, “Goodbye father...”\n
When they finally reach the deserted mansion, it was night time. They reached the door, and stepped inside once inside the door slammed shut behind them. Right after they hear the whistling of the house and howling.\n“This place doesn’t feel right.” said Loretta. \n“Whatever let’s just get this done.” said Xavier. A flash of wind brushes Loretta’s hair pushing it to her side. She looks and sees a shadow a few feet in front of her. She doesn’t make one move and whispers to Xavier “[[He's here, I can see it]]."
\nWhen they arrive in Bloodtown, it’s a quiet small town with no one to be seen. “Its quiet.” whispered Xavier.\n“I know, but there’s the town hall let’s just go to it and see what’s going on here.” answer Loretta. They quietly walk up to the tallest building in the town square, not saying a word to each other. Once they are reached the door, it opens by its self. “Hello is anyone there?” questioned Xavier.\n“Who’s here?!” yelled an old man behind the front desk.\n“It’s Xavier and Loretta, the hunters. The ones you wanted help with your creature problem,” Loretta said quietly trying to approach the old man.\n“Oh thank the lord; you have finally come to save us! But quickly come inside and shut the door before they come!” said the old man rushing into another room and waving them to come in. Xavier hesitates to follow the man but Loretta shuts the door and rushes over to the man, but Xavier walks over slowly. When they all, get into the room, the man swiftly shuts the door. The room is an office.\n“Sorry about that, but there isn’t much of us left in this town. I’m mayor Jacobson and I guess I already know your names.” said the man as he went to sit at the desk.\n“What do you mean not much of us left?” said Loretta.\n“I mean that we are having a problem with a creature, to be more specific a vampire problem his name is Erik. That’s why I sent a letter to the king to help us get some people to help slay the beast.” \n“If you want our help so much, why don’t you just say where this thing is and then we can get it over with and move on?” said Xavier sounded annoyed.\n“Yeah well, the thing is we don’t know where exactly where it is. But we have two places it might be.” said the mayor.\n“Then tell us” said Xavier.\n“It is either in the Old Abandoned Graveyard or the Deserted Mansion.” said the mayor.\n“Okay then let’s get started.” said Loretta eagerly.\n\n>>Choose a Location<<\n\n\n<<choice "Old Abandoned Graveyard">> \n\n<<choice "Deserted Mansion">> \n
When they finally reach home, Loretta tries to bring up a very sensitive. She is trying to bring up their parents, which isn’t an easy to bring up because of Xavier.\n “So what do you think mom and dad would say about how big that ogre was, I mean it was...,” before finishing her sentence Xavier cuts her off. \n“Loretta! I told you once and I’ll tell you again, I’m not talking about them and that’s final.” \n“If you don’t want to talk to them so much, then why are we still living in the same exact house we were 10 years ago when they got...,” Xavier cuts her off again but this time screaming at her. \n“I told you not to talk about that! And you know very well why we stay in this house. If that thing comes back to finish us, we can finally stop all this hunting stuff and just kill, finally getting our revenge. Don’t you now that’s the only reason, we became hunters?” Loretta stays silence for a few seconds before answering, taking in that her brother has finally snapped and realizes that she was being a bit too pushy. \n“I know, getting our revenge for our parents was the only reason, we became what we are. The only thing that makes me more mad then thinking about that thing, is that we don’t even know what the thing is. Doesn’t that bug you?”\n “Of course it bugs me, but we never got to see it. That’s the reason we hunt creatures, not only one thing because we don’t know what did this, but mark my word we will get our revenge. So now down it, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” When they finally reach their door step, they see that a letter was left there.\n“I wonder who it could be from.” said Loretta as she was picking up the letter \n\n\n\n[[Open Letter]]
Xavier was the first to push the get open, Loretta followed behind. There was a decently large farm house made out of stone, with shattered windows and a roof partially caved in. Just by looking at it you could tell no one had lived here in years. The barn was a few feet to the right of the house in what seemed to be fairly good condition.\n“Don’t you think it’s weird that the house looks so run down and the barn looks like all it needs is a fresh coat of paint to make it seem new?” asked Loretta.\n“You notice the oddest things.”\n“I’m just saying…”\nThey continued their walk down the field to the house.\n“I’ll take the house, you take the barn.” said Xavier as he turned for the house.\n“Do you really think that’s a good idea? Separating? We don’t even know what were looking for.” replied Loretta.\n“I hadn’t thought of that.”\n“Of course you didn’t…”\n“Alright fine, little miss ‘I’m so smart’. We’ll check out the barn first.”\nThey both started walking to the barn when they heard a low growling noise. They looked around but couldn’t see what was making that noise.\n“That sounds inviting…” Xavier said lamely.\n“It’s not funny Xavier.”\n“I understand what you mea-“ Xavier stopped mid-sentence and flung himself towards Loretta. “Look out!”\nHe wasted no time tackling her, tumbling them both to the ground as a furry figure leap over their bodies.\n“[[What the…?]]” exclaimed the twins.
Choosing the cave, Xavier and Loretta start climbing the mountain to the cave. After an hour or so, they reach the top hands tattered and exhausted. \nLoretta points to the cave; there is smoke coming from it and a big, long tail laying out the front. Xavier shaky with nerves whispers to Loretta to get ready to attack. At this point they take out their crossbows and creep towards the dragon. As soon as they reach the dragon Xavier, with his fingers, counts to three and then they both shoot repeatedly at the dragon. Right away the dragon turns with rage an lunges at them and hits Loretta to the ground. Xavier quickly runs towards the dragon taking out his sword and quickly strikes the beast. Loretta manages to get to her feet again and fires an arrow at the beasts chest and quickly following that move, Xavier jabs his sword into the dragon’s [[chest]].\n\n\n\n\n\n
Choosing Dragoon as the village to save, Xavier and Loretta are approached with many different types of faces as they make their way down the streets full of markets; some overjoyed of their presence and others full of hate of it.\n“Maybe this was a bad idea” Xavier tells Loretta.\n“Not if we get what we are here for….” Loretta replied.\nThe two carried on with their walking until they reached the end of the road and see the King Ovenchhook III himself, dressed in full armour, pacing back and forth with a look of distress on his face.\nLoretta cleared her throat and began to speak. “Um…King Ovenchhook?”\nStartled the king looked up at them, then moments later a smile formed and he came to them with open arms.\n“Thank goodness you two came here!” He said to them while squeezing them with his “kingly hug”.\n“Um…now that we are here, would you be so kind in to point us in the right direction?” Xavier asked in a squeezed voice.\nThe king stopped hugging them and his face turned serious, he looked at them and explained of what was going on in the village, “We have been experiencing a dragon problem….he’s been coming every night for months now and, worst part of it all is that he has taken all of our riches and my castle too! People are going poor, leading to starvation! And I’m! I’m left homeless!”\n“Okay, where can we find this dragon then your majesty?” Loretta asked.\n“Well, he has two hide outs, one is the old cave at the top of the mountain….that is where he keeps our money and jewels and the other place is of course, my castle.” The king replied.\nXavier and Loretta exchanged looks, which place should they go to first?\n\n>>Choose a Location<<\n\n<<choice "The Dark Cave">> \n\n<<choice "The Castle">>
The beast hisses with pain and falls to the ground, but still living. Xavier and Loretta walk towards him and prepare to go for the kill but just as Xavier raised his sword, the dragon croaked, “I know who you two are…if you spare my life I will help you find the killer of your parents…”\nXavier and Loretta exchanged looks.\n“What do you mean? Isn’t you who killed them?” Loretta asked puzzled.\nThe dragon looked up at her and in a rough burnt out voice answered, “No.”\n“The person who killed your parents is also the person who killed my beautiful wife and turned me into this monster” the dragon continued. “You were human?” Xavier asked awkwardly.\n“Yes, a young man who just married.” The dragon replied.\n“Is there any reason why this happened to you? And what is your name?” Loretta asked.\nThe dragon replied, “My name is Ouroborus, before I met my wife there was this woman who was quite fond of me, we stayed together for a bit and then one day she asked for us to marry, I answered no since I wasn’t in love with her. She got mad and told me, mark my words Richard! You will regret this day! Then she turned and disappeared in a crowd”\n“And so how does that make this woman the killer?” Xavier argued.\n“ That’s not the end of it though, on the day of my wedding, I saw her in the crowd of people watching, she wore a dark cloak that covered all but her face, she had a weird smirk on her face then as I looked away and turned back again, she was gone…as if disappeared….I thought that I was imagining things, but that night me and my new wife were in our new home and this woman smashed down our door and with wicked power, she killed my wife. Then right away looked at me and said, “you poor helplesssss fool…” then turned me into a dragon in a blink of an eye… and then turned around and said, “now you can forever be alone…” and she left” Ouriborus closed his eyes with a tear falling.\nLoretta touched his nose and told him “Don’t worry, we will avenge our loses together. Do you know where she stays?”\n“Yes, yes I do….every month I have to come and see her; to deliver gold and other rich sources….” Ouroborus replied.\n“Well?” Xavier asked impatiently.\nOuroborus lifted his head and pointed to a direction.\n“I can bring you where she lives.” Ouroborus continued to explain.\n“Well… wouldn’t that be helpful.” Xavier told the dragon with a doubtful face.\n Ouroborus nodded his head and picked himself up and began to head for the direction of the witch’s lair. Loretta rushed over to Xavier’s side with an annoyed face towards him.\n“What!?” He quickly asked completely unaware. \n“You’ve gotta’ lighten up for him Xavier! Loretta snapped back.\n“He’s just a scaly bag of bull!” Xavier argued, while referring to the dragon.\n“He wasn’t always a bag of scales as you call it” Loretta mocked.\n“He used to be a man you know, he is like us…so smarten up!” she continued to tell Xavier.\n“Okay! Fine! And besides I didn’t call him a bag of scales, I called him a scaly bag of bull!” Xavier responded.\nLoretta rolled her eyes at her brother and went to Ouroborus’s side.\n\n\n[[Give monster mercy and get help to find the creature that kill parents]]
"I know where to go from here. Just follow me and we'll be at the witch's lair in only a few minutes."\n"Well what about him, we can't just leave him here..." cried Loretta.\n"We have to, this is what we were born to do, that damn witch is the reason we became who we are..."\n"Hunters." Loretta finished for him.\nAs they walked through the swap, sweat covered their clothes even though they had only been walking for a few minutes.\n"There it is..." whispered Xavier.\n"Whoa... I didn't think it would look like that..."\nThe hollow tree was covered in fresh green moss with little flowers, with wines hanging from the branches, green and alive, birds singing in the sky. But as they walked closer a strong stentch of death hit them, the more careful they looked at the tree, the moss started to turn black, the birds fell out of the sky, the vines withered, the flowers burnt up and the branches lost color and looked as if they were bones.\n"What the hell is going on?" asked Xavier.\n"It's just an illusion, making something look nice just so you aproach it and walk a trap." \nThey walked through the door and it immediately shut behind them closing them in darkness. A few moments later candles flickered on, lighting the room just enough to see the face of the witch.\n"Hello children... I always knew you'd somehow find me."\n"What did you just say?" said the twins taking a step back.\n"I. Am your mother." \n"[[Mother?!]]" said Xavier and Loretta in disbelief.
Choosing the castle, Xavier and Loretta start walking down the entrance way. After 10 minutes of walking and planning, they reach the castle’s big doors and they push them open. Right away the see the big back of a huge dragon t. Xavier shaky with nerves whispers to Loretta to get ready to attack. At this point they take out their crossbows and creep towards the dragon. As soon as they reach the dragon Xavier, with his fingers, counts to three and then they both shoot repeatedly at the dragon. Right away the dragon turns with rage and lunges at them and hits Loretta to the ground. Xavier quickly runs towards the dragon taking out his sword and quickly strikes the creature.

The Creature Hunters\n\n[[StoryAuthor]]
“Come on Xavier! We can’t just let him die like this, we have to get that witch!” shouted Loretta as she run in the direction of the dark clouds was moving.\n“I think we should continue with our journey like he said!” yelled Xavier in the direction she was running.\n“This is not up for debate Xavier! Now come on!” yelled Loretta while turning her head back towards Xavier. Not wanting to start a fight with his sister and waste time again, he hurried up to his sister and ran beside her. They followed the dark clouds all the way into the dark forest, right in the middle. Then all of a sudden the clouds stopped. They stopped right over a hollowed out tree that was beautiful in every single, except that it had a scent of death. Loretta and Xavier came to a stop as they approached this tree, as they got closer they saw it as a house. Still beautiful and alive but still the smell was there.\n“It’s an illusion...” Xavier said quietly. \nThey walked through the door and it immediately shut behind them closing them in darkness. A few moments later candles flickered on, lighting the room just enough to see the face of the witch.\n"Hello children... I always knew you'd somehow find me."\n"What did you just say?" said the twins taking a step back.\n"I. Am your mother." \n"[[Mother?!]]" said Xavier and Loretta in disbelief.\n
\nDear Loretta and Xavier,\n\n We have contacted you from far and wide to tell you this very important notice,\nThere have been attacks! Many people have gone missing every night. It happens when all is silent and all children have gone to bed. These creatures come by every night, creep up to the cabins and then kill those who are out of their homes!\nWe have never done business with you but, we have heard of you! And the following villages need your help from theses evil creatures; Dragoon; Bloodtown; and Wolville.\nWe will pay whatever it is you want.\nCome and help us avenge our losses!\nSincerely,\n King Ovenchhook III\n\n"You know we only have time for one of these villages" said Xavier\n"I know but which one to chose?" Loretta questions.\n\n>>Choose One Village<<\n\n<<choice "Dragoon">> \n\n<<choice "Bloodtown">> \n\n<<choice "Wolville">>\n\n\n
Loretta and Xavier exchange looks and are thinking the same tactic; creep up from behind and shun the light of the sun onto it before it can react to kill them. \nQuietly they advance, Xavier looks at Loretta and counts to three with his fingers, one...two...three! They quickly pull back a tree branch/curtain hiding the light; the vampire quickly turns around in shock and hides his face from the light and begins to hiss. Xavier rushes to the vampire's and prepares to cut his throat but just before he does the vampires hisses out, "wait don't! I'm not what they say I am!"\n"Then what are you!" Xavier angrily asks.\n"I am actually a man! But an evil witch turned me into this..." The vampire replied.\n"Then why were you killing all the village people if you are not this evil creature, if you are a good guy?" Loretta asked curiously.\n"It's because of the witch! She will kill her if I don't get the blood she needs!"\n"Kill who?" Xavier asked doubtfully.\n"My daughter, she kidnapped her after she killed my wife and turned me into this monster" the vampire quickly replied.\nLoretta gives Xavier a look as if to let the vampire down and darken the room again. Xavier rolls his eyes and does so.\nThe Vampire gets to his feet and explains himself.\n"What happened was, the witch, that is before I knew she was one; was quite fond of me and one day she wanted to marry, I refused. Then she told me that I would regret this day....two years later me and my new wife have a daughter, the witch breaks into our house and kills my wife, takes my child and turns me into this horrid creature!"\n"Do you know where the witch lives?" Loretta asks.\n"I do, I can help you get there too!" The vampire said excitedly.\n"Okay...but first I would like to know your last name." Loretta tells him.\n"My last name is Ruberry, Eric Ruberry" the vampire replies with a smile.\nLoretta smiles back and helps him to his feet, Xavier roles his eyes in exasperation.\n"Why are you after her?" Eric asks kindly.\n"She took something from us and though we can't get it back, we can still avenge it..." Loretta replied with an angered face.\n"So which way?" Xavier cut in.\n"Follow me, this way!" Eric waves his arm in the direction and they all set out.\n\n[[Give monster mercy and get help to find the creature that kill parents]]
The witch put on an eerie grin, showing her brown rotting teeth and in response said, “Yesssss my babiessss. Mother.”\nXavier and Loretta take a step back in shock, swallowing hard Loretta speaks up, \n“How can you be our mother…our mother was killed. Killed by you!”\n“That’s what you believe eh?”\nLoretta nods wearily.\n“In case you didn’t realize, I set the whole thing up, I’m the one who sent your beloved father outside to check what that noise was, I got those evil creatures to kill him and I, I’m the one who kept his lovely body…” the witch smirks and points up to an old rotted carcass hanging from chains from the ceiling.\n“You see, he is never alone…he’s up there along with all my other husbands” the witch said wickedly pointing at all the other carcass’s.\n“You sick bitch…” Xavier mumbled.\nThe witch raised an eyebrow and smirked, “Now, now Xavier…let’s not use that tongue”\nXavier rolls his eyes and mumbles to Loretta who was paralyzed in shock, “I had enough of this dung” then quickly raises his bow and attempts to shoot the witc, but the witch quickly gets out of the way of his shot and chuckles, then at the swish of her hand, pushes Xavier up against the wall and with her powers, she begins to choke him.\n“Hm Hm, Now Xavier, are you actually going to KILL your mother? Loretta, you’ve always been the sensible one, tell your brother to stop this madnesssss.”\nDazed from her shock Loretta shakes her head at the witch who brought her back down to earth again.\n“Tell him…” the witch tells her extending her other hand as a sign of saying “go on.” \nLoretta looks at her, then to the carcass’s then at her brother and, lifts her eyebrows in disbelief, \n“I think the only one who needs some sense talked into them is you!” Loretta says criticizing then pulls out her bow and shoots the witch in the arm that held Xavier chocking. Xavier falls to the ground gasping for air then rises to his feet picking his bow up again.\n“You fool!” the witch shouts holding her arm in pain.\n"[[You must die for all the pain you caused!]]" Xavier says lifting his bow into range.\n
When they arrive in Wolville, they are welcomed by the town’s mayor and are immediately informed of the town’s problem.\n“It’s so lovely to finally meet you Xavier and Loretta! My name is Ester Godwin. I am the town’s mayor and I will be briefing you on our ‘little’ problem.” said Mrs. Godwin.\n“It’s nice to meet you Mrs. Godwin. My name is Loretta and this is my Brother Xavier.”\n“Hello” said Xavier unentertained with this little town.\n“Hi. Well, to get right to the point. Most of the ‘events’ involving our creature problem have been happening near the Dark Forest and the Old Abandoned Farm House on the outskirts of town, where people are not supposed to go but you know kids now a days… they do what they want.”\n“So, let me get this straight, most of the people missing are teenagers?” asked Xavier completely unalarmed.\n“Yes.” sighed Mrs. Godwin.\n“Of course… Why can’t teens find something else to do? Like pick flowers? Or go swimming? No. They have to go to the places they’re not allowed to go to.” exclaimed Xavier.\n“Don’t mind him, he just gets frustrated that kids are…” Loretta searched for a word that fit.\n“Stupid?” pointed out Xavier.\n“Yeah…”\n“I know kids will be kids but if you can save any of them, if any at all are still alive, it would be greatly appreciated.” said Mrs. Godwin bringing back the twins attention.\n“We’ll gather our things and head out to look for the children. How many have gone missing though?” asked Loretta.\n“Four.”\n“Alright, we’ll grab our things and be on our way.” replied Loretta.\n“That’s wonderful! Good Luck!” exclaimed the mayor.\n\n>>Choose a Location<<\n\n<<choice "Dark Forest">> \n\n<<choice "Old Abandoned Farm House">>

"No!" screamed Loretta.\nAs she kneels beside the creature, he started to glow. When the glow stopped she was beside a beautiful man with a wound on his chest. Loretta's eyes widened at the sight of the man. \n"Why did you do that?" whispered Loretta.\n"Shhh," as he reached out to stroke her cheek with the back of his hand, "It's alright, continue your journey without me." as he pulls her in and kisses her lightly. And dies after they part.\nXavier lifts a brow. "Well, we just lost our guide..."\n"How could you be so careless?"\n"I'm not the hormonal mess that just made out with that'thing'."\n"Well what now?" asked Loretta rolling her eyes at her brother.\n"I think we should continue our journey to the witch's lair."\n"Well I think we should avenge the creature."\n\n\n\n<<choice "Chase witch and avenage the creature">>\n\n<<choice "Go to hide out of monster and avenage parents">> \n
As they set out, following the creature they travel for an hour. Xavier becomes impatient and turns to the creature.\n"Where the hell are we going!?" Xavier snapped.\n"We're going to the witches lair. On the far side of the Dark Forest, she lives in a grand hollow tree. You can smell death a mile away from her tree." he explained.\nAll of a sudden dark clouds form above their heads covering everything in darkness. All the plants started to shrivel and burn, causing a heavy smoke around them. You could hear animals scrurry away and branches started to sag. With an eerie cackle in the distance. The creature is alerted by the sound.\n"She's here." he whispers.\nLoretta and Xavier instinctively arm themselves.\n"You fool!" said a rough voice from above their heads. "How stupid could you be so stupid to bring them here?" as the witch came into view.\n"How dare you say that to him?" Loretta said defensively.\n"Well aren't you a little rebel..." snarled the witch.\nLoretta stood her ground in front of the witch. The witch drew power from the clouds, aimed her hand towards Loretta and attempted to strike her. But before the dark power from the witch could hit her the creature jumped in front of Loretta taking the hit.\n"Hahahahahaha," her laugh was shrieking, "You really are a fool creature!"\nAnd with a sudden flash the witch was gone.\n\n\n[[What just happened!]]
When they finally reach the graveyard it was night time. The graveyard was spooky and weeds were growing everywhere all over the graves. To add to that, that night there was a layer of fog floating just on the ground.\n“This place doesn’t feel right.” said Loretta. \n“Whatever let’s just get this done.” said Xavier. A flash of wind brushes Loretta’s hair pushing it to her side. She looks and sees a shadow a few feet in front of her. She doesn’t make one move and whispers to Xavier "[[He's here, I can see it]]."\n
“It amazes me that kids now a days think that this…” Xavier gestured to the amount of mud stuck to his boots, to his ripped pants from the little thorns on the branches everywhere, to his sweat soaked shirt. “Is ‘fun’ and ‘adventurous’, it’s unbelievable.”\nLoretta sighed and rolled her eyes. He had a point of course but didn’t need to be so snarky about it.\n“I remember a time where ‘these stupid kids’ were you and I, Xavier.”\n“Whatever. At least we were able to take care of ourselves.”\n“Mhm…”\nWhen silence fell upon them, it was the first time they noticed how incredibly quiet it was. Usually you could hear bugs buzzing around your head or the occasional tree creator every once in a while, but there was nothing. Even the trees didn’t rustle against each other.\n“This is weird.” said Loretta.\n“You’re just paranoid.”\n“No but really. Stop walking for a minute and just listen.”\nThey both stopped in their tracks and listened to the Forest.\n“I don’t hear anything.” said Xavier, annoyed.\n“Exactly. I don’t even hear bugs buzzing, I don’t even see bugs! And I’m sweating like crazy and so are you.”\n“I understand what you mea-“ Xavier stopped mid-sentence and flung himself towards Loretta. “Look out!”\nHe wasted no time tackling her, tumbling them both to the ground as a furry figure leap over their bodies.\n“[[What the…?]]” exclaimed the twins.\n\n
