The Witch’s Spire
Right there standing right in front of me is the tower where the witch lives. I know that she has been kidnapping the children in my village. One day, they would be there and then on the next day, they would be gone. The parents of the missing children are beside themselves with worry. I can’t say that I don’t blame them. They have every right to be. It’s because of that wicked witch. She is responsible for taking those children. She has done something like this before. Once she steals a certain child, she takes them into her tower, never to be seen again.
You see, long ago there was a witch who was notorious for stealing children from small villages. One by one, the children would disappear. People who travel the woods have reported seeing a tower in the middle of a clearing. They believe that is where the witch has been taking the children to. An angry mob was form to rescue the children from the witch. A lot of them were the parents of the missing children. As soon as they reached the clearing, the tower...it mysteriously disappeared. The villagers were stunned. Where did the witch go? And more importantly, what happened to the children inside of the tower?
The villagers wouldn’t know the answer to that question until a few days later. The children that were taken by witch had emerged from the woods. When the children were asked what witch had done to them, they absolutely had no memory of being taken or of the witch herself. To this day, nobody knows where the witch went or why she took those children. This happened long before I was born.
Now, the same thing is happening all over again. The children of my village are disappearing one by one. Everyone knows that it’s the witch that’s doing this. She is taking the children to her tower. She has to be stopped.
Why am I telling you this, you ask? My brother is one of the children that has been taken by the witch, and I’m going to stop her.
