After about half an hour of finding my way around this horrifyingly big house, I finally
found the door. I swung the hefty door out of my way and Jack Frost affronted me. This was
nothing that I wasn’t used to but after spending luxurious hours in a bed, this was different.
“You didn’t answer my question,” said a demanding voice behind my back, I didn’t need to
turn around, I already knew who. It was the boy.
I sprinted out the door with the wind fighting against me and bits of rock trying to trip me. I
kept sprinting and sprinting, slowly I realised, I was trapped! I was in a miniature dry forest with
an abundance of structures spitting water, continued blankets of gravel and an immeasurable
deep maze.
I stupidly headed for the maze not noticing its depth. I turned the first corner and in the
distance I heard the cackle of that witch, now knowing I was lab rat, but I kept sprinting and
sprinting.
Expecting to find my way out quite rapidly I realised that dreadful mistake, I might have been
running for hours! Though I kept pushing and pushing until Jack Frost struck me and I fell to my
knees. I started muttering the town song. Familiarity greeted me and welcomed me in his home.
“You didn’t answer my question,” said the demanding boy.
Familiarity threw me out and told me never to come back again.
“How did you find me?” I asked impatiently. He hovered his hand from behind his back and
waved a piece of paper in front of his face. It was a map.
“Now answer my question or you will never get out of here!” he yelled, as if a toddler was
having a tantrum.
“What is your question?” I asked finally giving up and at the same time praying he would lead
the way out of the maze.
“How did you escape Torna?” he asked demandingly.
“I knocked out a drunken judge with a floorboard and ran to the fence! Now get me out of
here!” I yelled back facing him directly.
“Well, that’s not how I escaped,” he muttered; my face was wide with shock. Were there any
questions I would ever get the answer to?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
