The Enchantress's Treasure

Chapter 9: The Chase to Prague

Chloe, Emma, Sophie, and Liam hopped on their flight to Prague, all hyped up and eager. Little did they know, Victoria and Helena were on the same flight, keeping a close eye on their unsuspecting targets.
Liam, being quite observant, spotted the two women getting on the plane and couldn't shake off a feeling of suspicion. He nudged Emma and whispered, "Hey, I think we're being followed. See those two ladies? They don't seem like your typical tourists."
Emma discreetly glanced over and nodded, her mind racing. "We need to throw them off track. Once we land, let's split up and confuse them."
After touching down in Prague, the gang put their plan into action. Emma and Liam led Victoria and Helena through a labyrinth of dimly lit alleyways, their footsteps echoing on the cobblestone streets. Meanwhile, Sophie spotted a drone hovering above them.
"Hey, Chloe, look!" Sophie pointed at the drone. "We got to take it down."
Chloe nodded, quickly coming up with a plan. They found a secluded spot and used rocks and a stick to mess with the drone's flight path, eventually causing it to crash to the ground. With the drone out of commission, they hurried to meet up with Emma and Liam at the Charles Bridge.
At the bridge, they patiently waited as the sun set and the shadows grew longer. The bridge, adorned with statues of saints, cast intricate patterns on the ground. Chloe noticed a particular spot where the shadows formed a distinct shape, revealing a hidden engraving on one of the statues.
"Check this out," Chloe whispered, tracing the engraving with her finger. The clue pointed them back to the Whispering Woods, confirming their next stop.
Meanwhile, Victoria and Helena, having been led astray through the alleys, regrouped and called Max.
"The drone is lost," Victoria said frustration clear in her voice. "We lost 'them."
Max's voice crackled through the phone. "Without the drone, I can't track them. We need to come up with another plan."
Victoria clenched her jaw. “Looks like we're back to square one. Let's head to the Whispering Woods. They're probably headed there."
Back at the Whispering Woods, Chloe and the crew examined the locket they had found at the Charles Bridge. The inscription "Whispering Woods" seemed pretty significant. Emma, curious as ever, put the locket around her neck. As she fiddled with it, she accidentally pressed a hidden button. The locket clicked open, revealing a small and ornate key.
"Look at this," Emma exclaimed, holding up the key. "This must be the key to our next adventure."
With the key in their possession and their determination unwavering, the gang geared up for the next leg of their thrilling journey, blissfully unaware that Victoria and her crew were hot on their trail. The hunt for the Enchantress's treasure was far from over, and the real challenges were just beginning...
