I wake up to a tussling sound. I hear somebody mumble "Stop struggling!" I sit up quietly, making sure not to make a sound. I squint and I see the witch, who is now ugly! Her wart is the size of Jasons ego, and that's huge! I laugh at my own joke, but quickly regret it when the witch looks over at the bed. I freeze up and she looks back down, I dont think she noticed me. I relax and wait for her to leave, dragging a crate out of the room. I close the door quietly and turn on the light.
"Wake up!" I whisper jumping on the bed, everyone moans and I notice Greg is missing.
"What do you want?" Golgi says rubbing her eyes.
"G-greg is m-missing. S-she took h-him!" I choke out and slowly droop my body over. I am defiantly not going to get pass this week helping these people fight these monsters! I do not have enough courage for that.
We all stay silent and now everybody knows exactly whats going on. Well everybody but Hazel, but shes a slow learner so we can explain later.

In the morning we all clean up and go in the kitchen. I nod over to Greg and everyone does the signal, which mean its go time for our plan. I shake my head and walk over to Greg.
"Oh. Greg. What a pleasant surprise seeing you here!" I say loudly, praying my bad acting was believable.
"Pleasant surprise? Are you retarded? I am locked up in a cage for dogs, and you call this pleasant?" Greg says, yelling loudly. This catches that witches attention.
"Oh children you guys must know my dirty secret! I'm going to eat you all, and dont think about escaping its impossible. The only way out is through the front door, and the key is on this necklace." She cackles holding up the necklace, the key glistens in the light. "Okay now that we all know whats going on, lets do some chores. Amie you have the bedrooms, Jason you can help her. Okay Golgi do the dishes and Hazel you need to clean the stove! Oh and if you try to escape, I will kill you, and make your friends watch. That's a great idea!" The witch cackles again. Hazels eyes get big and she looks at us for support. I smile thinking of an idea.
