Chapter 9
Isabella:
I flew as quickly as possible back to camp overjoyed. I had finally found the seven dwarfs and after a conversation with them, I now know exactly where the witch took Rachael. I began looking all around beneath me to see Gale and Snow gaping at Monroe next to the flagpole near the center of camp.
“Gale!” Because of my overestimation, I did a tuck and roll landing near Gale. “Come with me. I’ve found where Rachael is being held!” 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJPmaErvVt

Monroe:
We made a detour for me and Gale to suit up in hot thick metal knight armor before we hiked up the mountain that Rachael and I had walked up three days earlier. Surprisingly the hike up was very easy and I easily figured out that we are heading in the same direction where Rachael and I had seen the cabin days earlier.
“The cabin has moved,” I state confused looking at the cabin five feet away from where I last saw it.
“What?” Snow looks at me confused.
“Rachael and I hiked here a couple of days ago and the cabin was next to that rose bush, not in front of it.” Isabella walked over the cabin to poke it. Not only did the cabin burned to ashes at her touch, but also the rose bush behind it burned too.
“What happened?” Snow shrieked. I turn to the other two. Isabella is in shock while Gale looks disturbed.
“I’ve never seen that happen before,” Gale admits staring at the entrance of the cave where the cabin and rose bush used to be. Suddenly a crash rings from the entrance of the cave. I automatically reach for my sword while Gale pushes Snow behind him as he pulls magic out from the ground to his hands ready to shoot whatever comes out of the cave. Much to all of our surprise Becka jumps out to the middle of the cave entrance with Ashley next to her.
“Oh good, you are all here now. We need one of the princes to kiss Rachael.”
Ashley:
I gathered all of my strength to speak out to the confused mess Becka made with her words.
“The witch cast a spell on Rachael to have her fall asleep and the only thing that can wake her is a kiss.”
“A kiss, seriously!” Snow exclaims annoyed. I place a hand on Becka stopping her from speaking again to make the situation worst.
“You two are one of the seven dwarfs,” Monroe stated rather than asked. I nod my head turning to him. He’s a very perceptive person and I knew he would be the one to figure out who Becka and I really are first.
“Come follow us so we can explain everything.”
Becka:
Once everyone entered the cave, I walked to the nearest wall to grab one of the lanterns from its holding place on the wall and blew on the old lantern lighting the lantern. Snow looked at me alarmed making me chuckle.
“Each of us dwarves have a special perk to being able to protect Rachael.”
“Tiger will explain everything,” Ashley said, yanking me in front to guide everyone.
A few twist and turns later, we all arrive at the small camp where all of us dwarfs have been hiding out right beneath the witch’s nose. Unbeknownst to the witch, a dam made nearby and it’s water has been seeping into the ground to forming another room right next to the witch’s main room of her home. Fortunately, Shin given the nickname Dopey accidentally got carried away in the river underwater to the room we were in when we sensed Rachael in the room next to us. Tiger nicknamed Doc is in the middle of the room stirring a large black pot while Sunshine who we all call Grumpy is standing on her tippy-toes to barely over the large pot. I start to silently chuckle at the sight of Grumpy who due to a freak accident involving a spell forever looks like a sweet blonde hair, blue eyed six-year-old girl sweetly asks Doc if the potion was ready yet. Ashley sensing my movements shakes her head as she turns to walk away from me not wanting to subject herself to Grumpy when Grumpy notices.
“Hey, Becka are you okay?” Isabella is the one to draw the other dwarfs’ attention to the newly arrived group. Grumpy whips her head over to me with a death glare before grabbing a nearby stool to march over to me. She slams the stool down in front of me and climbs on to stab her index finger at my chin screaming at me.
“You and Bashful’s only mission is to keep Rachael safe and away from the witch. You failed and now you think it’s acceptable to just laugh in this situation?!” Before Grumpy could speak another word, Doc slams down the spoon she was using to stir the black pot grabbing all of our attention.
“The witch is back.” Grumpy sends me one last glare before walking off to the middle of the room to direct everybody to their position that everybody not surprisingly quickly obeys.
“Sneezy you will be the offense and will shoot at the witch with everything you’ve got in case she lets down her magical barrier. Sleepy lead the men to Rachael, Dopey teach Snow and Isabella the chant to lessen the witch’s power. Happy and Bashful cover Monroe and Gale on their way to Rachael!”699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV3KtOfgEq
