The girls gasped very loud as if they were about the get the hiccups . “ Judy ?! Is that you ?!” “ Surprised to see me ! I am Grizela , Witch of the Dark Tower and disguise of Judy !” Then she chanted a spell to make a vine cage to trap Helen and Mary . “ You TRICKED US ?! How dare you !” screamed Helen furiously . “ Now that I have you girls , I can finally make the potion I wanted to make for years ! And Master will be so proud of me , he ’ ll hand me the throne of the Dark Tower ! Mwahaha ” “ Oh no ! We ’ re going to be ingredients ! Heeeelp !” yelled Mary . Helen knew she had to come up with a plan , but what ?
Suddenly , Helen had a lightbulb in her head . “ Mary ! I ’ ve got an idea !” She started whispering to her when Grizela wasn ’ t looking . “ Hm ... great idea , Helen ! That ’ ll totally work !” “ But first ,” said Helen . “ You have to pretend you ’ ve got the stomach cramps !” “ But why ?” asked Mary curiously . Helen winked at her friend “ You ’ ll see .”
Helen gave the signal to Mary and then she started “ Oww ... it hurts , Helen ! My tummy hurts ! Ow !” “ Do you need to go to the bathroom ? Uh , okay . I ’ ll tell Grizela . Grizela ! GRIZELA ?!” “ The crabby witch spun around “ What is it you fools ? I don ’ t have all day !” “ Mary ’ s got the stomach cramps and she ’ s about the throw up ! Can you bring her to the bathroom please ?” said Helen . “ No ! I ’ m no babysitter and I DON ’ T take people to bathrooms . Go by yourself !” Helen got discouraged . If Grizela doesn ’ t bring Mary out then she couldn ’ t get out too . Relieved , Grizela then looked at Mary . She seemed pretty unwell , though , I don ’ t want to see her tossing her cookies . “ Oh all right toad girl ! I ’ ll take you to the bathroom ! Grr ….” Yes ! thought Helen . She cut open the vine cage and took Mary out .
While she was doing that , Helen slipped out of the cage and hid behind a wall . When Mary and Grizela came back , Grizela was shocked . “ WHAT ?! Where ’ s the other pathetic fool ? You better tell me or else …” “ Or else what you horrid witch ?” With that , she ran away with Helen and as soon they spotted a boat , like , any boat , they jumped on it and rode away .
“ Phew ! We made it !” said Mary , relieved . “ Yeah , at least we ’ re not witch ingredients .” said Helen shivering about them getting cooked by Grizela . “ Should we tell our moms about this ? That we met a real live witch in Shanghai ?” “ Shh , it ’ s our little secret !” said Helen quietly . “ You ’ re right !” replied Mary . Then they happily rode the boat back home .
As for the witch , she was stomping back to the Dark Tower . “ Master , I can ’ t fool those phoney fools they ' re too smart ! Ugh !” “ Grizela , you can beat them . You just need a secret weapon …” “ What ’ s that ?” she asked . “ I think you ’ ll find out …..”
