We rode for days through the forest but it seemed to never end. Hannah confirmed that it wasn't a magic forest that never ended but we were all starting to doubt it. The only one happy was Toby, who was almost always shifted to a wolf.

The sky was being to darken on our third day in the forest. Toby raced back to us, three rabbits in his mouth. I grinned and stopped Storm-Brooke.

"Nice catch Toby," I praised and he dropped them and shifted back.

"Thanks," he was grinning. "And guess what else?"

"What," Cameron asked, beating me to it.

"I found houses! Lots of them! In the middle of a clearing," Toby reported excitedly.

"Yes," Dan sighed in relief.

"Let's go then," Toby said already walking in the direction he had come from.

"Toby wait," I said. "They aren't going to go anywhere and I think we should eat, sleep and head there in the morning."

"I am kinda hungry and Scarlett's right, they might be happier and friendlier in the morning," Dan agreed.

"So it's settled then. We head there tomorrow," Cameron finished.

"You ok back there Hannah," I asked looking at her.

She shook her head, her whole body shaking.

"Don't go to the town," she whispered. "When you enter you will die. Just like those before you."

Hannah fell over, passed out. Dan barely caught her on her way down. Toby, Cameron and I stared wide eyed at Hannah.

"She's alive right," I whispered.

Dan nodded and I sighed. I pulled Storm-Brooke over to Dan and Hannah and helped Dan steady her so she was leaning against the neck of Sun-Dancer.

"Why," Toby asked when Hannah was situated.

"Why what Toby," Dan asked.

"The town. Why is it bad," Toby asked and Dan rolled his eyes.

"Like we know Toby. We are just gonna have to wait till she," Dan paused, looking at Hannah. "Wakes up."

"Well we can't dwell on it yet," I said. "We may as well eat."

So we started a small fire, and cooked up the rabbits Toby caught. Just as we finished cleaning up, Sesame's fur rose on her back.

'Whats up girl,' I thought.

'I smell warlocks. Lots of them,' she thought back.

Hannah suddenly jumped off of Sun-Dancer, her eyes wide.

"They are coming. We have to go," Hannah screeched, jumping back on Sun-Dancer and racing her off in the direction we came in.

Everyone else jumped on their unicorns and followed after Hannah quickly. Sesame rode in the little cart Hannah had magically made as we galloped full speed away from whatever was coming for us.

Twenty minutes later, we broke though the forest. Hannah finally slowed her unicorn to a trot. I slowed next to her and offered her a bowl of rabbit we had saved for her.

"Thanks," she whispered and finished it quickly.

"What happened back there," I asked softly.

"It was a dark witch town. I'm guessing Merlin alerted them we were here and they made the town visible to Toby," Hannah replied, handing the bowl back to me.

"Those weren't witches," Toby said as I shoved the bowl into a saddle bag. "I would have smelled witch. They were just humans."

"They have such things called spells," Hannah snapped. "Only warlocks and other witches can tell what they are."

"Then why can I smell other witches," Toby shot back.

"Because they don't care if you know what they are. These witches wanted to kill us so they aren't going to show what they are until we are dead on their dinner plates," Hannah replied, humorlessly.

"Shut up both of you! I need to think for once," I yelled and they both shut their mouths and looked down at their unicorns manes, as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"Look. It's over guys. We are alive and we now know we have to be more cautious. It was a simple mistake on Toby's part which is fine," Cameron said calmly. "Everyone's ok we can all calm down."

"And," Dan added quickly. "We are nearing the Dream Ghost."

Everyone seemed happy about that and I silently thanked Dan for saying it. By dawn everyone was pumped and excited because in truth, the Dream Ghost was very very close.
