"Hey Father, praise me. I've defeated the witch's henchmen too "
[ Hansels POV ]
My hand clasped tightly to my mothers as they lead Gretel and I into the moonlit forest. My parents faces resembled that of a widow in mourning, grieving the loss of her husband. My mother shook her hand, loosening the tight grip of my fingers as she gave a forced smile along with met father.
"Hansel, Gretel... Mother and Father have to do something.. We'll be back", Her lips quivered, she shook and tears began to well up in her eyes, as if she regretted letting those words slip from between her lips.
" Mother, don't be sad... Please... ", I sensed her discomfort and tried to make her feel better, but that seemed to worsen the situation.
" Don't worry, Hansel... ", She pat my head and began to walk off. I shot a quick look at Gretel, then I watched my parents backs as they went farther and farther until they were out of sight.
Seconds went to minutes, Minutes went to hours, and we waited for our parents to return and hug us warmly.
" Hanselll...", Gretel said in a whining voice, beginning to complain about the stiffening, cold air and the hunger building up in her stomach.
"Yes...?" I said, looking into her warm, blue eyes.
" Will Mother and Father really return ", she nuzzled against me, I felt her shiver against my shirt and hugged her tightly, attempting to raise her body heat.
" Of course ", I said with brimming confidence in my parents. " Why wouldn't they?". Silence overwhelmed the conversation, we sat there, shivering and anticipating our parents arrival. Any twigs that snapped, squirrels that passed got our hopes up.
AN HOUR HAS PASSD
" They aren't coming, are they.. ", Gretel said in a low voice, her eyes turning a cold, hard blue.
After waiting, and sitting, we finally realized it: we had been abandoned. I got up and took Gretel's hand, we walked aimlessly in a forest. I knew we would get lost eventually. I turned around and re-traced our steps, Gretel clung to me as we walked. Finally, we stumbled upon the "Witches House".
