giggled.
    "Please?" she asked innocently. Daniel looked at the little monster then glanced to Triska.
    "Well… we are trying to be nice to them here… and she seems friendly…" he reasoned. Triska slowly nodded then looked to the young girl. They picked up their bags, with Triska putting her dagger back into its sheath, and walked over to the witch. The girl giggled happily then ducked back down into the opening. As the two teens walked over they looked down with wonder at the strange opening in the ground. From inside the twisted vines that formed the opening there was a wooden staircase that seemed to head down into a well-lit living area.
    “How… what is that?” Triska asked puzzled. They slowly walked down the stairs and looked around in awe. They just walked underground from the plains, and seemed to be in a small house of some sort. From the ceiling where they came from they walked down the stairs and saw that they were in a living room, with a fireplace that had a warm fire going, several bookshelves around the walls lined with books and tombs of all kinds, a window that was looking out into a nearby forest with daylight shining in, a rounded wooden door with a flower painted on it, a soft blue rug that covered the hardwood floorboards, a few paintings of landscapes and sceneries that were hung on the walls that were a soft white, and wooden rafters that held up the roof which appeared to be pointed up in a cone, with all sorts of strangely colored gems hanging from the beams on strings. And there was a table set up in the middle of room with a light blue table cloth, and on it were a few plates of chocolate chip cookies and glasses of milk already set up. Alyssa hopped around and took her seat next to the fireplace and then gestured to the other seats. Her staff was leaning against the table next to her as she took a drink of her milk, the witch bobbing around a bit with a happy demeanor. Daniel looked around in awe then up to see the opening that led to the grassy plains above them.
    "How…" he said confused as he saw the sky up through the opening. The witch giggled then smiled playfully at him.
    "Please sit, Daniel, these cookies are fresh for you," she said happily. The two teens set their bags down next to the staircase then walked over to the table, both sitting down slowly while looking around in wonder.
    "Where… are we?" Triska asked looking out the window nearby.
    "My home," Alyssa said simply.
    "But… underground?" Daniel asked.
    "Haha, no silly. I live here in my home. Why would I live underground? That would be so silly," Alyssa giggled before she took a bite of her cookie, her eyes staying locked onto Daniel as she had a happy smile. He nodded and looked to Triska curiously.
    "Wow… I can't… believe it," Triska said as she saw the forest outside the witch’s home. Alyssa glanced over to the window and nodded.
    "Yep yep, not often I have guests here; sorry if the place is a bit of a mess. I'm not home too often," she said sweetly. The girl glanced to her two guests and giggled as they were both looking around slowly.
    "Is something wrong? You both seem tense," she said with a smile. The two looked to her then to each other. Alyssa studied Daniel for a moment then tilted her head curiously.
    "So, Daniel, what was it you were saying sorry for earlier?" she asked before she took another bite of her cookie. Triska watched the witch carefully as Daniel looked to her curiously.
    "Well… I was saying sorry because… I thought we didn't get to you in time," he said slowly. The witch stopped chewing then looked at him puzzled.
    "Get to me in time? In time for what?" she asked.
    "To save you. I mean… we thought you were going to be burned alive. We heard you scream," Daniel explained. Alyssa blinked then glanced to Triska quickly, then back to Daniel. After a pause she giggled to herself.
    "Oh no no no, silly. I only screamed because I was upset they broke all my merchandise. I wasn't in any real
