We set off for the woods. But we couldn't get in. A giant wall of thorny vines surrounded it. "Help!" screamed a voice. We ran to it. I saw a ghost figure behind a wall. It was Isabel. She was crying on the other side of the vines. "Isabel!" I yelled. She saw me. "Lucas!" she exclaimed. "This is Will," I said, "He's going to help us break your curse."

Isabel suddenly turned a bit pale. "Watch out!" she screamed. We turned around and saw Oliver with a sword raised. We got out of the way. Oliver was wearing a black king's outfit and a black crown with thorns on it. He wasn't only holding a sword. He had a stick with a black gem at the top. The Dark Gem of Magic. "Nobody frees her!" he screamed, "She didn't give me special abilities, so nobody else will get them!" He swung for me. I realized he was a ghost. His sword would go through me. I started climbing the vines. I tried to grab the less thorny spots. I saw Oliver try to hit me, but I was right. His sword went through me. "What?!" he yelled. Will grabbed the spell book. I kept climbing.

I climbed to the top. I jumped down. "Lucas," Isabel said. Suddenly, thorny weeds grabbed me. Isabel tried to help, but she went right through me. "Lucas!" she screamed, tears running down her face. The weeds pulled me through the vines, scraping me up. The pinned me to the ground once we got through. I saw Will was pinned too. The weeds started pulling us towards a tree. The weeds tied us to the tree. I fell unconscious suddenly.

-Dream-
"Lucas," said a voice. I opened my eyes to see Isabel. "Please help," she said. "I don't want to be a ghost." "I will break the curse," I told her. Her eyes filled with hope. "But Oliver," she said, "is trying to kill you." "I won't let anybody stop me," I replied. "Lucas, save yourself," she said. "No, Isabel," I said, "I will save you. You will live the rest of your non-ghost life." Isabel started to cry. "I want to help you," she said. "I know," I said, "I'll save you though." Her eyes looked at mine. I saw her smile. "I knew someday someone would save me," she said. "I'll save you," I said, "I promise."

-End of Dream-

I woke up in a dungeon. Will was next to me. "You're awake," he said, "I thought you might die." "I have to save Isabel," I said, "No matter what." "I hear ya," Will said, "That poor girl." "We need to get out of here," I said. "That's what I have been trying to do for the last half hour!" Will told me. "Did you get close?" I asked. "Nope," he said, "Oliver caught me every single time." I thought about how we would get out. It definitely wouldn't be easy to do.
