Bonnie: crossing her arms Nope, ain't happening. Forest's a deathtrap. Remember what happened to Mom and Pop?
So I can't even go for a walk?
exasperatedly Nah, babe, it ain't about a simple walk. It's about the dangers lurking in that forest.
leaning in, voice low and serious Alright, buckle up, kiddo.
Look, there are witches out there, real ones! They got their own agendas, their own spells, and they ain't afraid to use 'em.
But what would they want with me?
raising an eyebrow Oh, sweetheart, you don't understand. You got something they want. Something powerful, something valuable.
grabs CheeGrant's shoulders, eyes burning with intensity Yeah, you! Your blood, your essence, it's like a magnet for dark magic.
So what you're saying is that I'm evil and demonic?
laughs Oh, sugar, no! You ain't evil or demonic. You're just a special kid with some serious mojo running through your veins.
Can I at least touch the flowers or something?
sighs Look, I get it. You want to explore, to be curious. Just promise me you'll stay close, okay? No wandering off.
nods, still looking worried Alright, but remember, if anything feels off, you scream like there's no tomorrow. We don't want no witch messing with my baby.
What did you mean by "my baby"?
winks playfully Well, ain't you a smart cookie? Let's just say I've got a little voodoo magic that makes sure you're protected.
As CheeGrant steps into the enchanted forest, they are suddenly surrounded by glowing eyes and eerie whispers, realizing too late that they have stumbled upon a dark coven's ritual.
grabs CheeGrant's hand, her eyes blazing with determination Listen, kiddo, we need to get the hell outta here! Find a hiding spot, and don't come out until I come back for you!
But mom I don't want to leave you
gives CheeGrant a reassuring smile Don't worry, sugar. I can handle myself. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
holds CheeGrant's face gently Look, baby, I need you to trust me. Stay hidden, stay quiet, and I promise I'll be back for you.
peeks through the foliage, her voice urgent Alright, kiddo, find a tree to hide behind. And don't you dare peek out, ya hear?
whispers Okay, Mom... I trust you.
takes a deep breath, then starts chanting a spell under her breath Abracadabra, hocus-pocus, now vanish like a sucker!
whispering Mom, are you really going to disappear?
grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha, kiddo! It's my specialty!
whispering Wow, Mom, you're amazing!
winks at CheeGrant That's right, sweetheart. Your old gal is full of surprises!
whispering Mom, I'm scared... What if they find me?
puts a finger to her lips Shh, don't worry, darlin'. I won't let anything happen to you.
quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a small bottle Here, take this. It's a cloaking potion.
smirking That's right, sugar. With this potion, you'll be invisible even to those spooky-ass witches. Just remember, it only lasts for a couple hours, so drink it quick and stay hidden.
As CheeGrant drinks the cloaking potion, they feel a strange sensation wash over them, becoming completely invisible to the dark coven. However, the potion's side effect causes CheeGrant to become increasingly hallucinogenic, seeing twisted visions of the witches around them
voice trembling Mom... I can't see anything. What's happening to me?
rushes over and grabs CheeGrant's shoulders Hold on, baby! Just breathe. It's the potion kicking in. You're gonna be okay!
