You would think it would surprise me . Scare me even. But no. Not even a shiver down my spine . Of course, I already knew the tale . I wonder how the original character felt .
I also knew what I needed to do . In order to keep up with the story line, I would have to run to my brothers aid . Then, we would have to run in order to live happily ever after !
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Due to my lack of athletic ability , running won't be too much fun . Instead , it'll look similar to a baby ostrich trying to walk with a bucket over his head    
And I know what you are thinking, " Ismay , you're just exaggerating" . But  it's my old coaches words , not mine .
Anyhow, Now my fictional brother was in a stove top oven and the witch was nowhere to be seen . So, i do what any fictional sister would do. I sneak out of the room , and creep into the kitchen . opening the oven, I one of the worst stenches flow into my nose . Agh , that can't be good . Simultaneously to trying not to lose all of the candy I ate last night , I helped my brother out of the oven .
" thank you " He said in joy . but his facial expression changed from happy to horrified " Hansel ! we need to run now ! "
I turn around to reach my worst nightmare .
Behind me was the witch looking not so sweet .  She had drooling black lips , Pale paperlike skin, and razor sharp nails .
" one ... two ... three !" i shout before my brother and I sprint away from the woods and into our 'parents' home . The father looked excited to see us , but the mom wasn't too excited . Ahh just like home!
"Papa! Papa ! " Hansel  yelled . We get to the house , but there was something missing. The annoying village was still there. So was the father or as hansel called him 'papa' . Then I realized it .  Where was the mother?
Wow , I never thought I would think that .
Then the scene changed . In fact , everything was black .  i gasp for air and open my eyes. Is the book over ? When my eyes open, there was a set of eyes waiting for me .
