The kids were almost to the lake and Q walked into a spider web. Katie helped him get untangled with her plastic sword, but in the process, she dropped her marshmallows. Katie all of sudden remembered she dropped her marshmallows and she wanted to go back and find them, but I think she went on kind of because a little tiny something was beckoning to her and she wanted to go see what it was. Nobody realized that she's gone off, but then ten minutes later they all look around and say, "Where's Katie? Where's Katie?" They are looking for Katie, and they go forward and forward looking for Katie when they realized that it's a 3/4 moon and they see the rowboat and Katie trying to get into it.
Matt runs ahead to try to stop Katie, and his friends are running behind him, but as he is the first to reach the rowboat, he is the first to fall under the spell. He smiles and scrambles into the boat; then Q and Tony follow and finally Hooter gives the boat a shove and climbs in after them.
So then Matt and Q reach for an oar and they start rowing out to the middle of the lake. Then the 3/4 moon goes behind a cloud and when it comes out again, there's no trace of the rowboat and her smiling crew!
HI Gillian,
ReplyDeleteI think you really enjoy this story! It is so exciting and full of mystery. I want to guess what happened next. Did Katie actually climb into the boat so she was in the boat when Matt got to her? Is she under the spell too?
Grandpa dislikes (very much!) spider webs, and walks with a stick in his hand when we are in the woods. I am a little afraid of snakes, which is silly, they are not really fierce.
I shall read your other narratives later and comment on those also. Keep up the good reading!
