Title: The Story of Striking on Halloween Night

_________________________

On Halloween, children and teenagers celebrate the night. They were wearing sinister clothes like a scary figure like a witch, a demon, a goblin ghost and other scary figures. The tradition of this Halloween night celebration is celebrated on October 31. In addition to wearing spooky clothes, they also ask for candy or chocolate to neighboring houses while saying 'trick or treat!'.

And one Halloween night, an 11-year-old boy was decorating his house with colorful chandeliers and putting down a number of Jack o's'latern (which we often call Halloween pumpkins) on his doorstep. The boy put a candle in the flask he was displaying, to make it look brighter and more frightening when the night began to darken.

'Hi Elena!' greet a group of children walking around.

'Hi friends!' hello Elena is back.

Elena then approached her friends and followed them asking for candy and chocolate to their neighbor's house.

'Elena, what were you doing back home?' ask a friend.

'I just decorated my house with Halloween trinkets, ' Elena replied.

'Oh.so, ' said the friend.

When the night was getting late, they wanted to go home. But Dominic takes his friends looking for apples and asks for candy to the homes of people who live in the Ebeline forest. Hearing her friend's proposal, Elena refused the invitation of her friend. Because the Ebeline forest is a very creepy forest.

'Friends, I don't want to go with you guys, ' Elena told her friends.

'Why don't you come with Elena?' ask Dominic.

'I was afraid to go to the forest, my mother would definitely look for me. And you know for sure, the forest is very scary, Elena replied.

'You're how Elena is, we've grown up, we shouldn't be afraid of scary things like that! But it's up to you, if you don't want to come also no problem, the three of us will go to the forest, ' said Dominic disappointed.

Elena's three friends immediately went to the Ebeline forest. Elena went back to her house. But, before Elena returned home, she had a bad feeling about the departure of her friends. He felt that something was wrong in the forest. He finally decided to go after his friends with a restless heart.

Arriving at the Ebeline forest, Elena called out the names of her friends.

'Dominic, Andreas, Vanessa! Where're you?!' call Elena.

'Free, ' said someone suddenly who was invisible to Elena.

'Who's voice is that?' ask Elena.

'Yes, it's useless to find your friends. Because they must have been witch food, said a golden-yellow cat who approached Elena suddenly.

'Huh? Whoareyou?' elena asked in surprise.

'Include me, I am Catline, the brave cat, ' the cat replied.

'Oh yeah? How do you know that my friends are now witch dishes?' ask Elena back.

'Of course I know. I have lived in this forest for a long time. So, I know a lot about the state of the Ebeline forest, ' replied the cat.

'Oh. Then, you would not accompany me to look for my friends?'

'Emmm.want, but I can't guarantee that your friends will survive.'

'Okay..ayo we're looking for them now!' elena said in spirit.

Eventually, Elena and Catline go together to find her friends. While on the way, Catline smelled the aroma of cake in the middle of the grove of trees in the forest.

'Looks like I smell a delicious cake, Elena.' Catline.

'Oh yeah? We better find the origin of the smell alone, who knows around here there are houses.' Elena.

They immediately looked for the origin of the aroma of the cake, until they found a small house in the middle of the forest. The smell they were looking for came from the house. 'Excuse me!' Elena said while knocking on the door of the house.

'Yes, one second?' Someone from the inside opened the door. And a little brown-haired girl appeared from inside the house.

'Who are you guys? What's the need?' Ask the girl.

'I'm Elena and this is my friend Catline.' Answer Elena.

'Oh....What do you need to do here?' Ask the girl again.

'While we were on our way, we smelled the smell of a cake that seemed to be very delicious. And we searched for the origin of the scent, until we found your home in the middle of this forest.' Elena.

'Oh so. Yes, please come in.' Said the little girl.

Inside the girl's house, Elena and Catline are given a delicious chocolate cake. And the girl introduced her name, the girl was named Melissa. He lives in this house alone. His daily job is to find firewood in this forest and will later be sold to markets in the suburbs.

'Oh yeah, did you see my friends passing around here?' Elena asked curiously.

'What do their traits look like?' Ask Melissa back.

'Oh yeah! I've seen them around here. They were going east, apparently they were going to ask for candy to the house of the evil Witch.' Melissa replied with a serious look.

'Huh?! That right? Where is the witch's house?' Elena asked in panic.

'The witch's house is not too far from here, but you must be careful if you see the Witch, because she can change into anything and anyone.' Melissa.

'All right, we'll go there.' Elena said.

Before long, Elena and Catline left Melissa's house, and hurried away, to quickly reach the Witch's house. On the way, Elena and Catline were startled by the sudden appearance of a white mist, and the two of them were unable to see clearly within the forest. Then, a woman suddenly appeared from behind the white mist. Elena and Catline were shocked.

'Hey you! What are you doing in the middle of a dark forest like this? Are you not afraid when an evil witch sees you and finally she catches you and takes you home to make her a delicious meal?' Tell that woman.

'Who are you?' Elena asked with a curious face.

'I'm Viona. It seems you're looking for something. What are you looking for?' Ask the girl.

'Yes, we are looking for our friend. Have you ever seen them? They are 3 people.' Ask Elena.

'Oh, I think I know the man you're looking for. Looks like they're heading to the Wicked Witch's house. If you don't mind, I'll take you to the witch's house.' Answer Viona.

'Yes. That seems like a good idea!' Elena said with a happy smile.

'But aren't you afraid to drive us to the Witch's house? He's a wicked witch.' Ask Elena.

'It's okay. I'm used to that kind of thing.' Answer Viona.

They immediately went to the Witch's house. Before long, they arrived in front of the Witch's house.

'Come on, I'll drive her into her house.' Bring Viona.

'Wow, how dare he enter the house of the Wicked Witch.' Elena said in her heart.

They knock on the door of the Witch, but there seems to be no one in the house. The house looked scary and quiet. Elena, Catline, and Viona soon enter the Witch's house. Without Elena realizing it, Viona slowly closed the door of the house and she suddenly turned into a Witch.

He said, 'Hahahaha!' Said the Witch.

It turned out that Viona was a Witch disguised as a good person.

The evil witch immediately tied Elena and Catline and locked them both in a dark room. The witch would prepare spices to cook Elena and Catline. As it turns out, Dominic, Andreas, and Vanessa are also held captive by the Witch in the same room. So they met, but they're now being tied up and can't do anything.

While they were in a daze to find a way to escape the Witch's house, Catline suddenly had a good idea. The catline immediately severed the straps that tied them with the sharp Catline nails. Soon enough, they all escape the Witch's bond.

They immediately set up a plan to cripple the Witch and escape. Dominic and Andreas will hide under the witch's kitchen table, while Elena, Vanessa and Catline will put the potion in the Witch's drink to make the Witch feel dizzy and will lose all her strength.

While the Witch is away in the woods to find firewood, Elena, Vanessa and Catline put the potion into the Witch's drink.

About 20 minutes, the evil witch returned to her home, tired, and drank the drink. He did not know at all that his drink had been given a potion that could harm him.

After he drank his drink, the Witch felt very dizzy, and he also looked weak. Seeing the incident, Dominic and Andreas who were under the table immediately put the rope on the floor, and immediately pulled it when the Witch was dizzy.

'Gubraa!!!!!!!!' The Witch fell in pain.

'Yeeeyyy!!!!!!!!! We succeeded!' Shouted Dominic, Elena, Andreas, Vanessa and Catline happily.

'Look at you guys! I will repay what you have done to me! Just look at it later!' Said the evil Witch.

'Oh yeah? Please do it if you want to repay us. But it doesn't seem like it's possible, because all your power has vanished.' Answer Elena.

'What? That's not possible! I still have a lot of power.' Say the Witch.

'If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you. Look at this, deadly move!!!!' Say the evil Witch while saying her spell.

But, they all fell silent.

'Huh?! Where is all my strength? Power gone!' The witch said with a disappointed face.

'And we told you, your power is gone.' Vanessa said with a smile.

With a contemptible face, the Witch tried to run away from the children. But, having yet to escape, the evil Witch turns into a Halloween pumpkin.

The boys were all very happy, so was Catline. Now they can all go back to their homes.

Dominic, Andreas and Vanessa regret not following Elena's advice.

'Elena, we're sorry. Because we don't want to listen to your advice, ' said the three of them with guilt.

' Yes, it's okay. Let's just say it's all a valuable lesson to all of you.' Elena replied with a smile.

They would no longer go to the Ebeline forest, for they all knew that the Ebeline forest was very dangerous.*****
