-Hey! Wait a second please! Where do you think you are going like that?? asked Aurora as she was grabbing Milla's leotard.

-Well, to the forest. answered Alisa and Roxane at the same time.

-You are going to the "Snow-Haunted-Magical-Dance-Killer-Woods" like this? Aurora said pointing at them.

-What do you mean "like this?" asked Alisa.

-That forest is dangerous! And it's cold. You could become ice in there. You should at least wear something over your ballet clothes!

-Okay but what? asked Roxane.

-Take this. Aurora gave them some warm suits and some scarves.

-Thanks! they all said, smiling.

-Now, be ready to see your worst nightmare in real life... In that forest, you can see so many things...

-We are ready for that. said Milla.

-We need to find our friends... added Roxane.

-Now let's go for real, if you agree... said Alisa.

So the little group came out of Aurora's house.

-Aren't you coming with us? Alisa asked Aurora because she wasn't coming out.

-Well... she said, a bit embarrassed. You know... Err... I'm too scared... I went in those woods only once in my whole life and a... a... a kind of witch told me to never come back.... I'm happy to have met you guys! I hope you'll be able to find your friends before... Umm, no I mean yeah err... Well anyway, I hope you'll be able to help us after... Sorry about not coming...

The three girls started to walk away.

-She was weird in the end... said Roxane. Find our friends before what?

-I have no idea... answered Alisa. Let's just find them quickly.

They ran to the woods. It was still night. They looked at each other and took a deep breath... They came in the woods.

-Did you hear that? asked Milla.

-What? answered Roxane.

-A big noise! Didn't you hear it?

-I'm scared... Let's just keep on walking. said Alisa.

So they did. After a moment, they all clearly heard a voice whispering:

-Why did you come here?... It was not a good idea...

Roxane, who was very scared, put her hands in her pockets to make sure no one could grab them, and, she felt a little paper... and a torch!

She quickly got the paper out and read it with the torch.

-What are you doing? asked Alisa. I think we should get out of here...

-No! Wait! said Roxane. I found something! It's a paper... And it tells us what we have to do in the woods!

-Tell us quickly then! said Milla.

-Look back! whispered the little voice.

-Don't! shouted Roxane. You'll see your worst nightmare! And don't believe what the voice says! It's only lies!

-Listen to me... Listen to me... the voice continued to whisper. Listen to me... Listen to me..... OR ELSE YOU'LL DIE!!!

That wasn't a whisper anymore. The little voice had become a big voice now. She was shouting.

-DIE! DIE! CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU'LL DIE!!! Die... die... die... she whispered again.

-WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!! CAN YOU HEAR US?? WE DON'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING! OKAY? YOU GOT IT? shouted Roxane. Then she fainted.

-Roxane! Are you okay? asked Alisa and Milla at the same time.

Alisa read the paper Roxane had in her hand. It said:

"Rule n˚1:
Never listen to what voices tell you in the Snow-Haunted-Magical-Dance-Killer-Woods. It's only lies. If you are too scared, shout out loud that you don't believe anything. You might get in trouble but nothing really important can happen to you and the voice will die."

Alisa listened carefully to the woods. There was no more voice, but they had a sleeping Roxane now...

-I think we should stay with her over here.... said Milla. We won't be able to carry her...

As soon as she has said that, a light came from nowhere, some red fairies appeared and picked Roxane up. One of them said:

-Hello, we are not evil.

Alisa quickly read the paper.

"Rule n˚2:
Don't trust anyone unless they say exactly this sentence:
Hello, we are not evil. We are nice and kind and we won't hurt you.
If they don't say this, say that you don't believe in whatever they are."

-We don't believe in fairies! said Alisa.

The fairies melted. A red liquid was coming to them while they had Roxane asleep in their arms.

-Are you crazy or something?? asked Milla, she was mad. They said they were not evil!

-It was a lie! shouted Alisa. Now let's just get away from that liquid...

-Yeah because it's lava, so like... suddenly said Roxane.

-Yes! She is awake!

They ran away from the lava. They heard something...

-Help! Anyone there? Hey! Millaaaaa? Alisaaaaa? Roxaneeeee?

-It's Sacha's voice! said Roxane.

They ran even faster to the voice. They saw Kanun, Jessie and Sacha.

-Where's Alina? asked Alisa.

-Well... She became ice... said Jessie.

-She was getting weaker and weaker and suddenly, she became a big piece of ice shaped in Alina... added Kanun.

-We tried to make a fire to warm her up, but it's impossible to light anything up in here! said Sacha.

-We need help to get her to Aurora! said Milla.

-Who is Aurora? asked Jessie.

-A nice girl, even if she's a bit weird... I'm sure she'll know what to do.
