"Stop Wirt!" Beatrice yells.
Is he possessed? I watch as he spins around. I hide Thomas Jefferson in my arms. I throw candy up as camouflaged. He hisses as black ooze drips from his mouth. He charges once again. Beatrice charges. Their weapons clash.
"Wirt! Stop!" I run forward.
He slams his foot down. Branches shoot up. They look like arms reaching out. I look up at him. He looks so much more different. Branches keep forming around him. What has happened to him?
"Wirt. I'm sorry." I call.
He lets out a roar that throws me and Thomas Jefferson into a bush. I get a mouthful of leaves and berries, which actually tasted really good. I swallow it. Thomas Jefferson croaks and points to the lantern.
"You're right Thomas Jefferson." I pull up my overalls.
We can save Wirt. I hope so at least. I grab Thomas Jefferson and I run like I've never done before. I see the lantern in a ring of thorns. I need the lantern. It consumed Wirt. I have to save my brother. I want my brother back. I carefully maneuver through the thorns. It's like a maze of prickles. I find the lantern. I grab it. Wirt turns and his eyes widen.
"Greg!" His voice ringed in my ears.
