-The 下一个 Day-
I peeked from behind the left corner of the school and saw Cameron carrying Mercury's book towards the school entrance. Perfect. I turned to Zoey and Francine, who were right behind me. "I'm ready. How do I look ?" I had on the outfit Francine picked out for me and the makeup Zoey put on me yesterday. My hair was in a french braid, courtesy of Zoey's mom.

"Beautiful", 说 Francine.

"I'm jealous", 说 Zoey.

"Thanks." I turned back to look at Cameron, who had probably forgot something because he was walking back to his car. "Wish me luck." I rushed towards Cameron. "Hey."

"Hey." He did a double take. "What happened to you?"

"Just trying a different look. Now that we're now dating anymore-"

"About that", Cameron began.

"Yeah?" My face lit up.

"Cameron!" Mercury came over to us. My face dimmed. "Did 你 get my-" She looked me up and down. "I see someone's trying the slutty look." She smiled an evil smile.

She's one to talk. I examined her 粉, 粉色 mini-skirt and 粉, 粉色 baby tee.

"Mercury!" Cameron looked at me apologetically. "Let's go." He and Mercury left.

I went back over to Francine and Zoey.

"How'd it go", they asked in unison.

"Let's just go inside." I turned to walk towards the entrance of the school. "I'm freezing my 屁股 off out here."

-Later That Day-
After returning home, I told Grandma I was going for a bike ride. Though it didn't matter since Gram wasn't speaking to me.

I rode my bike through town and noticed the moon. Full. I then rode into the swamp, unexpectedly of course. My nails turned to claws, my skin turned pale green, my outfit turned into a white gown, my hair turned into seaweed. My bike hit a loose 树 root and I went flying into the mucky, swamp water. "Gross!" I got up. The water was up to my knees. The pond was right below the moon.

All of a sudden the water began glowing. It
want a lighter shade of pale green, almost white. The water began bubbling. I looked around to see who was causing this. Then I saw it. The thing that turned my life into crap.

The sea witch that scratched me.

I tried to run to her, but the water was too thick. Then I felt a wave push me toward her. Am I doing that? Once I got close enough,
I touched her shoulder.

She quickly turned to face me, her eyes glowing red, and hissed at me.

I screamed and fell into the water. When I got back up, she was gone. The water turned back to normal. "Where did she go?" I managed to get out of the pond and made it back to my bike. I started walking back out of the swamp. Then something struck me in the back of the head. I blacked out.


When I woke up, I was tied up in a chair. I looked around and saw I was in a log cabin. The 火, 消防 in the fireplace was making the 舱, 小木屋 warm. So warm that began to sweat. I slipped out of the ropes and got up. I began walking to the door.

"Where are 你 going?"

I turned and saw the sea witch standing 由 an old stove. "You." I walked up to her. "You did this to me!"

"What are 你 talking about?" She was cooking something in the oven.

"You turned me into a sea witch! Remember, I was the girl with the camera. 你 scratched me!"

She frowned. "Oh yeah, sorry about that."

"Sorry? You're sorry?" I was in disbelief.

"Yes. 你 were in my personal 太空 and I got angry." She took some meat out of the oven. "Are 你 hungry?"

"No." I walked back to the door.

"Stay!" Her voice was different. It was low and growl-y. She grabbed my shoulders and dragged me to the little wooden 表 in the corner of house. "Eat!" She went to get a plate of meat and set it before me. "Eat!"

I took a tiny piece of meat and ate. I gasped. "It taste like a cream cheese and 果冻 bagel!"
