Magic tales: Hannah becomes good – Part 3
Sasha regained her consciousness and stood up as she had fallen on the floor. She started looking around the room which was covered in ice. She spotted an ice statue in one corner of the room and walked up to it.
She thought, “Why does this ice statue look so weird?” and touched it.
The ice statue turned in to a human being and gasped, “Where am I? What am I doing here? Who turned me in to an ice statue?”. Sasha was taken aback when she heard all these things.
She replied, “You are in an ice palace. I don’t know what you’re doing here and who turned you in to an ice statue”. The human turned its head towards Sasha and answered, “Okay, I am Ashley. Nice to meet you” and asked, “Were you the one who freed me from this horrible spell?”.
Sasha responded, “Nice to meet you, too” and asked, “What spell?”.
Ashley answered, “The ice statue spell, a filthy goblin turned me in to an ice statue as I refused to work for him. She told me that she will give me a lot of money If I do what she wants. For some reason, she thinks she can win a person’s trust by bribing them”.
Sasha sighed and replied, “Yes, I freed you from that spell. I think, Hannah, the evil lady who sent me to this ice palace transformed herself in to a goblin and troubled you. Not the point, though. Do you know a way to get out of this palace?”.
Ashley snapped, “I don’t know, really. Hold on. I can see a small door from where I am standing. Perhaps, that’s the way to get out”. Sasha agreed with Ashley and walked up to the door with Ashley and opened it. She saw a treasure chest, a bed and a cupboard.
She told Ashley, “That’s it? A treasure chest, a bed and a cupboard? How is this going to help us get out?”
“Open the cupboard”, Ashley whispered in Sasha’s ears. Sasha nodded and opened the cupboard. A bunch of clothes fell to the floor.
Sasha said, “Oops! I didn’t see that coming. Now what, Ashley?”.
Ashley lied, “Clean up the mess”.
Sasha shouted, “What? Really?”.
Ashley laughed and said, “Just kidding. Leave the mess. Now, touch the back side of the cupboard, you will feel a handle, push the handle towards the right. You will find a secret passage that no one knows. The passage will lead us to the main gate”.
Sasha listened to her and followed her exact instructions. She found a path way that led to the main gate when she pushed it open using the handle. Sasha was astonished.
She said, “This is amazing! How do you know about all these things?”.
Ashley replied, “I don’t know. Must be an intuition. Now, c’mon, let’s get out of here. I don’t know how I stayed here for so many days”. Ashley and Sasha ran through the path way and began walking to the main gate.
Sasha frowned, “Why were there so many spider webs in the path way? Doesn’t anyone clean that place?”.
Ashley replied, “Like I said, no one knows about that secret passage”.
Sasha asked, “Including Hannah?”.
Ashley responded, “Not at all” and was about to open the gate when someone from behind locked it. Ashley turned back and saw Hannah pointing her magic wand at the gate.
Hannah said, “You think it’s easy to get out of this place? I don’t think so and told Ashley, “Ashley, I am going to turn you back to an ice statue” and she turned Ashley back to an ice statue.
Sasha cried, “Aaaah! What’s your problem, Hannah? Why are you hurting people like this?”.
Hannah answered, “I don’t have an answer to your question”.
Sasha whimpered, “Isn’t there a way to stop you?” as she took a step back and touched the ice statue on its shoulders.
“Nah!”, Hannah replied and left the place. Sasha wiped a tear from her cheek and mumbled, “Is there a way to defeat or teach Hannah? She’s so cruel”.
“There is one way”, Daisy, Sasha’s best friend answered. Sasha looked at her and was startled.
She stammered, “D-Daisy, how-w diddd you get here?”.
Daisy replied, “A kind wizard helped me. I couldn’t find you and decided to consult a wizard. He told me where you were and used his magic send me here. He also spoke about someone called Hannah and how troublesome she was. I didn’t understand when he spoke about, Hannah that time but now I do. I watched the entire scene from a hidden position”.
Sasha answered, “O-okay. Where are your parents and Sid?”
Daisy responded, “I told my parents and Sid about your situation and they were okay to send me here which was shocking”.
Sasha replied, “Right so how are you going to help me defeat that evil cow?
Daisy said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you this. When I came here, I had some time to go through the books in the library and guess what, I found Hannah’s personal diary. Maybe, if we tell her about her childhood memories, she will let us go”.
Sasha cried, “It better work. Do you have that diary for proof just in case Hannah doesn’t believe us?”.
“Yup”. Daisy answered. Sasha and Daisy entered the palace and saw Hannah sitting on her throne.
Hannah asked, “How did you get here, Daisy?”.
Daisy lied, “I don’t know. I found myself in your library when I woke up in the morning”. Hannah grumbled a little on hearing that.
Daisy said, “I found your personal diary in your library and I read it. You were a really good person when you were young. What happened now?”.
Hannah replied, “That’s rubbish! that diary contains nothing but nonsense”.
Daisy laughed and answered, “Look, I am not gonna fall for these tricks anymore. Have a look at the diary yourself if you don’t believe me” and she handed over the diary to Hannah.
Hannah opened the diary and burst into tears on seeing her sister’s image. She narrated, “My sister used to love snow. She has been wanting to stay in a snowy region all her life. She doesn’t exist anymore so I wanted to fulfil her last wish so I decided to stay in a snowy region”.
Daisy asked, “I am okay with you staying in a snowy region but why are you hurting people?”.
Hannah cried, “I couldn’t bear my sister’s demise so I started hurting everyone thinking that they are responsible for my sister’s demise. I’ve understood now. I’d like to thank you both for letting me know of my past”.
Sasha replied, “Okay, Now, how did you get magical powers?”.
Hannah answered, “Oh, that.. You see, I discovered a weird object and I got magical powers out of that thing”.
Daisy said, “Fine. Turn Ashley in to a human and send us home”.
Hannah replied, “Alright!”, and she turned Ashley into a human and sent them home.
The end
Magic tales: Black Magic – Part 2.
The criminal replied, “I didn’t escape from anyone or anywhere”, in the voice of a robot.
Sasha asked, “How is it that you have the voice of a robot?”.
The criminal replied, “Good question. I am a robot. My name is Mark. Hannah, my sister is controlling me. She is angry with you guys for arresting the original Mark so she invented a robot”.
Sasha’s mother asked, “Wait, so they’re two Marks? You are the fake one, aren’t you?”.
The robot answered, “Yes!” and corrected it by saying, “Sorry, no”.
Sasha’s mother asked, “Ok, I got it. Can we meet Hannah?”.
The robot said, “She’s behind you”.
Sasha’s mother turned back and saw Hannah, wearing a long blue gown and grinning at them with her eyebrows arched up.
Sasha’s mom said, “Hannah, I don’t know anything about you but please stop this nonsense. I am tired of it. We did what we thought was right for the society”.
Hannah laughed and said, “Really? Are you sure? Have you guys heard of the word, ‘Black magic’. This is definitely the best time to use it”.
Sasha’s father answered, “Black Magic is illegal. If you’re planning to use it on us, then don’t”.
Hannah ignored them and chanted, “Abracadabra, take these useless people to the icy mountain” and she created a whirlpool. Sasha’s family whirled in the whirlpool and disappeared from that place. They found themselves in a cold and snowy region.
Sasha’s parents and Sasha fell from the sky and landed unconscious on the snow. They woke up after a few minutes and started looking around, confused.
Sasha mumbled, “We should have called Daisy. First of all, are we in the alps?”.
Sasha’s dad responded, “Yeah, I think we are in the alps. I wish we knew Hannah’s intentions. Is everyone okay?”. Sasha’s mom and Sasha stood up and nodded their head.
Sasha’s mom said, “I still don’t get it. Why is Hannah using black magic? Doesn’t she know it is against the law?”.
Sasha’s dad answered, “Maybe, she knows it against the law. I guess she likes to be cruel?”.
Sasha’s mom cried, “Probably. Ok, let’s stop talking about this. Right now, we need to find a place to stay and some winter clothes. It’s damn cold over here”.
Sasha answered, “I agree and I see an old shack from here. We can stay there for now” and asked,” What are we gonna do about food?”. Sasha’s mom looked up at the sky and started wondering.
Sasha’s dad replied, “I don’t know but let’s just go there”. Sasha and her mom heard him and began walking towards the old shack. They reached that place and knocked on the wooden door. An old lady opened the door.
Sasha’s mom said, “Hello ma’am! We’re looking for a place to stay. Would you be kind enough to let us stay here for a few days?”.
The old lady answered, “Of course. How many of you are gonna stay here? I have trouble seeing”.
Sasha’s father replied, “Three of us ma’am”.
“Wonderful. Come in. You can sit near the bonfire. I will bring you some food” and asked, “Do you want a glass of water?”.
Sasha’s mom responded, “Sure. Thanks for asking” and the old lady took out three copper glasses from an old rusty shelf which was attached to the wooden door and poured water from a black pot that was situated next to the bonfire and gave it to Sasha’s family. Sasha and her parents drank the water and quenched their thirst. They thanked the old woman. The old woman then told them that she’ll get food from her close friend, Lisa who had recently come here for vacation and left.
“Is she really gonna bring food from Lisa?”, Sasha whispered in her mom’s ears.
Sasha’s mom answered, “I don’t know sweetie. Maybe, she lied to us. Who knows?”.
Sasha asked, “Yeah. Can I go out and enjoy the fresh air till the old lady returns? I am getting so bored”.
Sasha’s dad answered, “There’s no fresh over here but sure you can go out and watch the polar bears but don’t wander off . It will be impossible for your mom and I to find you in the alps”.
Sasha laughed and then opened the door. She screamed, “Yikes! Mom, dad!! Hannah! That evil lady is here. How did she know we were staying here?”.
Hannah laughed and said, “Hi Sasha! I am the old woman. The water I gave you and your family is poisonous water. To be honest, I can see that the poison is working. Now, you and your family are invisible and cannot see each other. I am the only one who can see you all and I will show myself to whoever I want. I’ve shown myself to you. If you want to see your family, then let me touch your hand”.
Sasha stammered, “O-kay, but after you touch my hand, you have to make sure I see my family and send us back home. Deal?”. Hannah nodded her head in a way of saying yes and touched her hand and held it tightly.
Sasha groaned and shouted, “Let go of my hand, You promised”.
She smiled and snapped, “I take it back. You’re so naïve, Sasha. Now, you can come to my ice palace and I will make you my personal assistant”.
Sasha grumbled “I don’t want to go to your useless palace. You tricked me and I fell for it. Now, you really expect me to believe everything you say? How dare you!”.
Hannah laughed and created a magical portal, which is a trap that can lead you to a different place and told Sasha to walk in.
Sasha moaned, “Never and don’t think you’re smart. How can I walk in if you’re still holding my hand? I am not that stupid”.
Hannah replied, “Oh, aren’t you clever?. I will let go of your hand and I will also cast a spell on you to make you believe everything I say” and she let go of Sasha’s hand and cast a spell on her before Sasha gave her response and told her to walk in to the portal.
Sasha who was under the spell replied, “Your wish is my command. I will walk in. I have a question. Is the other side of the portal an ice palace?
Hannah answered, Yes! Now be a good girl and walk in”.
Sasha walked in and Hannah and murmured, “You will be stuck there, forever” and closed the portal.

Magic tales: Who is this man? Part 1
Two blonde-haired girls were sitting on a bench at the park and were talking about their future.
Daisy said, “Maybe all the dead bodies will come back to life”.
Sasha answered, “Hmm, you think?”. Suddenly, a man walked up to them. The girls instantly stopped talking and stared at the man.
Sasha asked, “Sir, what do you want?”. The man then removed a sheet of paper from his pocket and gave it to the girl. Sasha took it from him and started reading it aloud.
The paper read, “I am a beggar wandering around the streets in search of food and shelter. I cannot speak as a witch cursed me. Would you girls be kind enough to give me some money?”.
Sasha and Daisy told the man together that, “We don’t have any money” and left the place hurriedly. The man started following them. The man was so fast that he got to the girls and the held them tightly
He said, “I have been pretending all this while. I can talk. I wanted to test your kindness. You girls are completely insensitive”.
Sasha mocked, “Huh? We are insensitive? If anyone’s insensitive then it’s you” and they pulled themselves out and now they started running.
Daisy panted, “Let’s go to my home as your home is farther than mine”.
Sasha stammered, “Ohh o-kkkay, let’s go to your home” and they ran to Daisy’s house. Daisy knocked on the door.
Her younger brother Sid opened the door and said, “Oh hello, you guys are home quicker than usual”.
Daisy cried, “Sid please, leave way for us. A beggar is chasing us”.
Sid laughed, “A beggar? Where on earth will he get the strength to run so fast”.
Sasha moaned, “C’mon Sid! A crazy man if you think that way”.
Sid answered, “Okay come in.”. Daisy and Sasha thanked Sid and walked in and Sid closed the door.
Sid asked, “What happened?”. Sasha said, “Well” and heard the doorbell. Daisy was frightened.
She screamed, “Aaah! It must be that man again. Let’s just see from the peephole”. Sid agreed and walked towards the door and saw from the peephole.
He turned back and said, “I don’t know who he is but I can describe him”.
Sasha responded, “I don’t want your description. let me have a look from the peep hole”. Sid moved and left way for Sasha.
Sasha saw from peep hole and said, “Oh dear! It’s that man again. “What does he want?”.
Daisy dimmed, “I don’t know. Shall we tell our parents about it?”.
Sasha said, “My parents are at home. Can we give a call to my parents?”.
Daisy answered, “Of course but first let’s tell my mom about it and before you even think of asking a silly question like where my dad is, he is at work”.
Sasha said, “I know! I am not a baby to not know these things.
Daisy said, “Fine” and then yelled, “Mom, come here. I have something important to share with you”.
Lily, her mother, ran out of kitchen and asked, “What is it?”.
Daisy said, “A man has been following us. He said he was a person who couldn’t talk as he was cursed by a witch but he can talk. He lied to us”.
Lily responded, “How many times have I told you not to talk to strangers?”.
Daisy apologised, “Mom, I wasn’t thinking that time. I am sorry”.
Lily smiled, “No problem. Was he wearing a black over coat, sun glasses and a hat?”.
Daisy said, “Yes, he is”.
Lily asked, “Is it? Where is he?”.
Sasha said, “He is right outside”.
Lily grumbled, “You could have started with that Daisy. According to the news, he is a criminal who escaped from the prison and he loves young children. I’m glad you guys got out safely. Let’s catch him and take him to the police”.
Daisy said, “Okay”.
Her mom continued, “And I’ll also give a call to Sasha’s parents”. Sasha was happy.
She said, “Thanks aunty”.
Daisy asked, “we can use the back door to capture him”.
Lily said, “Sure” and they all took the back door and circled all the way to a hide-out behind the front entrance.
Lily said, “guys, be quiet. Sid, especially you”.
Daisy asked, “mom, can I get the rope from the garage? You can tie him up”.
Lily said, “Brilliant idea. Go and get it”.
Daisy ran to the garage and grabbed the rope and ran all the way back”. Lily took the rope from Daisy and tip-toed to the front entrance. The man felt someone was behind him and turned his head and then suddenly her mom tied the rope around him. She then took out her cell phone and called the cops. The police arrived in a minute, took the man and the lady who captured him and rode them to the police station. The police threw the man in to the jail and sneered at him.
The man screamed, “No! let me out”.
One of the cops said, “No my dear. Enjoy the prison” and walked towards the lady and children and said, “Thanks for getting him. You guys solved a big issue we were going through”. The lady and the children smiled and left the place. Lily (Daisy’s mother) also called Sasha’s parents. Her parents came to the police station and took Sasha along. They thanked Lily for taking care of Sasha and got in their car and rode to their home. Sasha reached her home and got out of the car when she suddenly noticed the criminal in her car shed smiling at her.
Sasha was shocked and screamed, “Mom, dad!!! The criminal. How did he escape from the quod?”. Sasha’s parents packed their things, got up and saw the criminal. They were shocked!
