The naughty little witch {A Halloween Tale}

|| ARRESTED ||

{DAY V}

- Morning {9h00 - 12h00}

I woke up with a severe pain in the back. I was hoping to get stuck after I could remember some of last night's things.

A girl was in front of me. She was on watch. But instead of being ghastly, she was apparently normal, taking off the fact that she had purple hair and wore a witch costume, she was normal.

My stomach rumbled. I was hungry, but I do not know if I could order food. Decided to try to take my chances.

- Hey! - I called.

- What's it ? -  The girl asked, sounding very irritated.

- I'm hungry - I said, kind of shy. If only I have not dropped my wand on the floor ...

The girl sighed.

- It's all right. Stay right there. I will be right back with something for you to eat. - She ordered and left.

Has not she realized me that I'm stuck in a chair, tied up and so I have no ability to get away ?

Of course, I did not question. In the position I was in, it was best to accept everything soon to get out here at once.

I heard footsteps and the girl appeared, this time with a delicious tuna sandwich. I smelled it and I could deduce that it was good.

- Here it is. Now, please eat at once ... - She said.

- All right then ...-  I replied, grabbing the sandwich with my hands and devouring it.

It was delicious, but I got carried away and ended up eating everything. Great, now I would not have another afternoon snack.

I laughed. In my current situation, it was likely that I wouldn't eat something so soon.

- Well, may I ask you something ? - I risked it. The girl looked at me like I was crazy.

- What would it be ? - She asked.

I sighed. I could die for that question, but I did anyway.

- Are you a sorceress or a witch ? - I asked, noting the mark on her hand.

- Actually, I'm a magician. And you must be a sorceress, am I correct ? - She asked.

- Actually ...- I explained. - I'm a witch, but I got the mark of sorceress. 

- Got it. Well, now stand there. I'll get you out of the chair because my master will talk to you. - She ordered. I just nodded in agreement.

- But ... You could free me and run away with me! I have no interest in being part of the circus of horrors -  I exclaimed.

- Then you will not like tge proposal I will give to you, Miss Akari Orange ...- said a voice.

The mage let go of me. How did he know my name ? Was he a demon, or a magician ? A lot of questions went through my mind, but no answer appeared.

- My name ? This is not important, but you can call me Lord or General if you prefer. And I will not talk about what I am. - He replied.

- What I have to tell you  extreme important. Join us. Yesterday in the show, we captured several people. Help us capture more. Or we'll have to capture your soul too, Miss Orange. -  He continued.

Capture souls? Was he a grim reaper? What did he mean by all this? Was it all a dream? Or was I crazy?

- Well, now I'll give you time to think. Answer me until tonight, midnight sharp. - He completed
- Katie will answer all your questions or else, I will punish her Right, Katie ?

- All right, master. - Katie, the mage replied. I felt sorry for her.

Maybe if I could get her to let me go, we could free the other captured souls, if they were not already devoured or something like that ...

- Afternoon {12h00 - 18h00}

Time had passed quickly. It was already afternoon and soon, I would have to give my answer. I had to convince Katie quickly.

- Hey, Katie! - I called

- What is it, Orange ? -  Katie questioned, much more irritated.

- Do you suffer here ? - I asked, careful to sound very worried.

- Well ... Not exactly ... Ah! What a thing ! Yes, I suffer here, happy?! - She answered, angry.

- I want to know more about you. Have you thought about running away ? Live in Holiday City and forget about it all ? - I continued.

- Well, yes. Why the question ?! Even if we escaped, we would not be able to get rid of him. The master is very powerful. -  She explained.

Master. Master. I had heard that word before. It is! The master was the master of ceremonies. He controlled everything behind the Circus.

- But I have a plan. You just have to trust me. Do you know where my wand is ?  - I asked. Katie nodded as I told her my plan.

Katie untied me, but I continued with the ropes to pretend I was tied.

She left the room and returned in a few minutes, with two wands in her hands.

- Let's get the plan in pratice. But first, my wand, please. -  I request. Katie handed it to me.

- The first step is to turn me into someone from here. Do you know someone who is always alone and easy to capture ? - I asked.

Katie nodded, an evil grin emerging from her lips. We were ready to run away.

She led me through a long corridor and luckily no one saw us. We got to a room where a clown face guy was sitting in a chair, eating a banana split ? I was jealous of him ... I should have demanded this from Katie!

- Come on. Cast the spell Katie. Fast! - I ordered. She nodded and took the wand.

- Innocent and lost. Come now and feel trapped by the rope of fate ! - Katie recited, making a half-golden rope appear around him.

He started to scream, but we tied one of the pieces of rope against his mouth, so he would not scream.

We dragged the body along the same path, but this time when we arrived in the room we were in, we took one of the big boxes put him inside and throw the box in the middle of the other boxes.

Step one was complete. Now I needed to become him. I focused my mind on his appearance and tapped a wand three times against my head.

Everything went dark for a second, before returning to the normal state. Katie started to giggle. That was not supposed to be comical, but ok ...

- Now, let's go to the thi... -  Katie began, but was interrupted by the appearance of the Master of Ceremonies.

- Why the girl isn't in the chair ?- He shouted.

How can he see through the spell ? He had to be some creature!

- Get them! -  He shouted and behind him, one by one, the artists appeared.

- RUN, KATIE! I shouted, running to one of the fabric  walls of the tent and ripping it.

- GO KATIE! -  I screamed again. We ran away, without even looking back .

Panic took over us, and when we did realize, we were already far from the tent, but the artists were still following us.

Are they never tired ? It did not matter. I know they would not give up. We will would run as long we didn't get caugh...
