Stolen Magic

On Halloween, Jade placed her magic inside a shiny apple. “I need to hide it from those pesky trick or treaters.” 

But when she turned away, her cat, Willow, took a big bite!

In an instant, Willow sparkled from head to tail. With a flick of his paw, the room filled with flying pumpkins and dancing skeletons.

“Silly Willow, you’ve eaten my magic.” Jade laughed.

Instead of scaring the children, the two cast spells together, turned books into bats, made the house glow green, and raced on broomsticks.

But as the clock struck midnight, the magic faded. Willow’s fur returned to normal.

Jade hugged him. “That was the best Halloween ever.”

Willow purred. His plan had worked. And he couldn’t wait to steal the magic, again.
