THE ANDERSONS

It was a really dark night and Sam was lost in the middle of a dark forest. Sam was a boy, about thirteen years old and a blonde. He had no freckles on his face. He had a very strong personality. Sam had been following a strange low pitched voice calling his name and now he realized he was lost. Then all of a sudden, there was a loud pop and smoke covered the entire forest. When the smoke had cleared, Sam saw an old man who was hunched over. He had a dark hollow look in his eyes with an evil frown. He looked at Sam and began to laugh loudly. This laugh sent a shiver down Sams spine for it was like the hiss of a poisonous snake. The man opened his mouth and shouted a string of curious words and then he began to chant,

Suddenly Sam stopped running.

”What have you done to them?! ” Sam shouted.

”Oh what a temper ” the Witch said in a hoarse voice. ”I wouldn say that to an evil witch such as myself if I were you ”.

She stretched her cloak and Sam, Tarantella and Carlane the Witchs assistant disappeared. When they reappeared, Sam realized that they were in a cemetery. Sam heard his familys voices calling him. He looked towards the direction the voices came from and saw his family tied to a stake. Carlane was about to burn them up. Tarantella cackled at Sam.

”Sorry my boy but you all have to pay for what you did to me ” Tarantella said.

”Im not your boy and Im not afraid of you! ” Sam yelled in anger.

”Well, you are really brave but we shall soon see if you
