THE UNEXPLORED LAND

By ... Steve Lucky

One day Tim and Sherrell were walking along. When they went home they saw their strange mirror in their room. That night the one big mirror became thousands of little mirrors and they flew all over and some got stuck in Tim and Sherrell and they instantly fell asleep. When they woke up they didn’t recognized where they were.

“Where are we,” said Tim.

“I don’t know,” said Sherrell.

“You’re in our house. We haven’t had company in 400 years,” said an old couple in the next room. “You must be hungry let us fix you a meal.”

They put a pill by them.

“Yuck, medicine,” said Tim then took it. “M-m good. Try some Sherrell.”

So she did.

“You’re right Tim,” said Sherrell. “Best medicine I’ve ever tasted.”

That night they wanted to leave but they wouldn’t let them go. So they snuck out and went on. Then safe away they slept.

When they woke up they saw another house.

“Let’s go in,” said Tim.

“Good idea,” said Sherrell.

So they went in. There a young woman sat in a chair.

“Hello,” said Tim and Sherrell.

“Hello,” said the woman. “You must be starving. Let me get you something to drink and something to eat.”

Then she went in the kitchen and came back with a steak and salad. Then she went back in the kitchen and put some magic powder in one drink unknown to Tim and Sherrell. Then they both took the drinks and had dinner then they rested then Tim got up.

“Get up,” he said.

Sherrell stayed lying down.

“I can’t get up,” she said.

Tim went to bed and soon fell asleep. Sherrell fell asleep where she was.

The woman made a door appear and went in it. Then she made the door disappear. Then she vanished and a witch appeared.

“They don’t know I’m a witch,” the witch said. “Sherrell took the magic powder so I can use her but I must take care of Tim! And I got just the plan. He-he-he.”

She turned back to a woman and back in the kitchen.

The next morning she woke them both and gave them breakfast in one glass she put knock out drops in it. As soon as Tim drank it he fell off the chair and became unconscious.

“I’ll take care of him,” said the lady out of their sight.

She turned into the witch and took Tim with her and put him in a hardening shield.

“Soon he will be a new statue to my collection.”

Meanwhile Sherrell wondered how Tim was doing. She went to find out. Sherrell saw a witch and hid. She saw her change into a woman. Then Sherrell ran to where Tim was.

“Tim,” said Sherrell.

Tim gained consciousness.

“Sherrell,” he said.

Sherrell thought she found the way out. So Sherrell tried it and it worked.

“Look over there that man and that lion are the witches helpers,” said Sherrell.

“I see them,” said Tim. “And I got a plan to catch them. Now here’s what we do...”

Later the man and the lion came nearer.

“Come and see the premiere of The Lion...” said Sherrell.

“And it’s free,” added Tim.

“Let’s go,” said the lion.

“O.K.” said the man.

When they got there the shield closed on them.

“You and your dumb idea,” said the man.

“I know but you should have stopped me,” said the lion.

“...”

“...”

“Quick, Sherrell! Let’s get out of here,” said Tim.

“I agree with you,” said Sherrell.

So soon were they far from the witch and soon they stopped and fell asleep. Later the witch came back she saw the man and the lion.

“Rats!” said the witch.

She zapped them next to her and soon they started moving. The next day the witch flew over the land to see where they were. She spotted them running.

“Sherrell’s almost as fast as Tim is. They’re ready,” said the witch landing a good ways ahead she zapped the man and the lion near Sherrell and Tim.

“They’re free,” said Sherrell.

“Run,” said Tim.

Soon they came to the witch. They ran back there was the man and the lion ran to the side there was the witch. They ran to the other side where the man and the lion jumped from behind the bushes and got them. The witch put them in a trance to keep them from escaping. Tim was put in a room. Soon a shield came down on him. Sherrell was put in a deeper trance still and put in a room full of boiling water and a shield came down on her too.

“Soon she will be in my power,” said the witch.

“When will that be,” said the man.

“When the water turns to blood,” replied the witch in an evil way.

That night the witch, the lion, and the man were celebrating their victory. The water slowly got redder and redder they were both still in a trance. Would they make it before it’s too late?

The next day the witch got her shot gun. Some strange creatures came hopping and with 3 shots they were all killed. The noise of the sot gun broke the trance on Tim. He was a way out. A secret staircase and followed it down. Meanwhile the water was almost all blood. Back under ground Tim was just coming up. There he made it just then the water was all blood. Was Tim too late?

“There now I have her lift the shield,” said the witch. “Now that I have more of the drug Sherrell will slip some in Tim’s glass. Then when both are in my power no one can stop me! Ha-ha-ha.”

And with that she made Time fall asleep.

By the time he awoke there was Sherrell by him. Sherrell gave Tim a drink and put the magic powder in it. Time saw it so he dropped the drink. Then the witch got so mad she threw Tim to the wall and he fell down and wouldn’t move. Later Tim got up and went out to see what was going on. He saw the witch giving a crystal ball to Sherrell. Tim ran and snatched it. Sherrell went after Tim. Tim hid and grabbed Sherrell.

“Now to find a cure for you,” he said.

Slowly the blood was loosing its redness. Quicker and quicker soon it was water again.

“Tim,” said Sherrell.

“Sherrell,” said Tim. “It worked.”

“What worked?” asked Sherrell.

Just then the witch came in. They ran away.

As they did the witch yelled, “You may have curse her from my power but she still has the magic powder in her body she’ll get weaker and weaker and I can always do it over and I don’t even know the cure Ha-ha-ha!”

“She’s right you know,” said Sherrell. “I can’t keep up with you.”

“Just two drugs the powder and knock out drops,” said Tim.

“Knock out drops won’t work what if we tried the powder again,” said Sherrell.

Tim gave it to Sherrell.

“I fell dizzy,” said Sherrell after she drank it.

“It only made it worse,” said Tim sadly to himself.

He began to cry. Teardrops fell into the glass. Sherrell barely pick up the glass. She took a sip.

“I feel a little bit better,” said Sherrell.

“Salt!” exclaimed Tim. “Salt, that the cure which none is around here.”

“Here’s a piece of mirror stuck in you,” said Sherrell.

“You too,” said Tim.

They removed it and closed their eyes. They felt themselves swirling and swirling. When they opened them they were in their bed.

“I bet the witch hasn’t gave up yet,” said Tim.

Sherrell continued it, “That witch has yet to learn that love, hope, and faith are the strongest magic of all.”
