🎃CHAPTER IV🎃

They eat slowly and finally, they get used to it. The feast that so amazing and delightful. The Ghost is happy with Adi, Rassel, and Kevin's friendship that quite strong. The Ghost are so pleased and after they're eating, the Ghost takes them on a journey to go deeper into the Mouselleum.

The darkness surrounds the entire room when they enter. The Ghost didn't give any light and he set some obstacles to get the Witch's lantern in front of the Hall. There are; Stone and Water, Torch and Sand while the last one is poison.

Adi looked at Rassel and Kevin in worry but they smiled at him. They took Adi's hand and started to walk together by the stone above the water.

"Children, only one of these five stones that real and you can step on... While the other is an illusion. If you fall, your friend can't help you, you need to swim until the next obstacle... Understand?" Said the Ghost and they nodded understand.

"Understand, thank you... Kevin, it's you who have the strong intuition for such a thing like this, I think you can lead this one" Said Adi and he nodded and led the way.

Kevin chooses wisely and steadily and he almost gets the wrong stone but he never falls by the tricks that the water gave to him. The magic of Halloween truly illuminates his way so he can pass the first obstacle along with Adi and Rassel.

"Very good! You choose wisely and you made it past the first obstacle, now for the second obstacle... Torch and Sand, you must light up the Torch before the sand covers it all, there's only three torches each one to represent you... Now, which one of you is the fastest?" Asked the ghost and Adi raised his hand, "Well, you can do it if you want" He continued.

"You got this Adi! You can do it!" Said Kevin and Adi smiling while Rassel gave him his matches.

"If you can't, just say... We will cover it for you" Said Rassel and he nodded.

"The time is set, you only have five minutes... Starting... Now!" Said the Ghost.

"What?!"

"Go! Don't think! Go!" Screamed Kevin and Adi rushing to the first torch. But as he time to light up, it can't lit. He tried again and again yet nothing happened. Adi began to feel so stupid and clumsy.

"Use your mind, it's not a real torch... You need to think about it" Said Rassel.

On a whim, Adi realized that this torch was not ordinary. Adi thinks hard and knows how to light up.

"I have a secret that I joke about I love Sabrina and I do love her!" The first torch is lit up.

"This is the torch of shame and honesty! Keep going! Wait, what?! You fall in love with my sister?" Said Rassel and Adi's face turned red.

"Rassel fell into a toilet but said he got splashed by a guy in the garden" The second torch lit up bright.

"One minute more, Children," said the Ghost breaking the words and the final torch was still untouched.

"Kevin is lying to Rassel when he said he can't go to play... He's fallen asleep at my house" The final torch lit up and broke the entire room into shining light.

"Good job children!" boomed the Ghost and the three of them giggled.

The third obstacle that poison. Adi, Kevin, and Rassel stood together and looked at that green bottle filled with some kind of liquid. The Ghost stands before us and is smiling at us.

"Congratulations, children you made it to this last obstacle... Now for the third and final, will you please tell me what is inside that bottle?" Asked the Ghost and they shook their head.

The Ghost sighed and thought about something and with his magic, the bottle revealed itself. It was a poison.

"Is that a poison?" Asked Kevin curious.

"I don't think so, but the smells so strong" Replied Rassel.

"Hmmm... What else that has a liquid like that and strong smells except poison?" Said Adi and Kevin also Rassel nodded.

"Good answer! It is a Poison... This obstacle is simple, which one of you will drink this poison in order so they can get the magic Lantern so their wish come true?" Said the Ghost making the three children's jaws drop.

"What?!"

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"It's nonsense!"

"It's not, children... It's not, choose which one are you willing to sacrifice their life for another so they can get the magic Lantern?"
