The group were crowded around the bird bath, the necklace clearly visible at the bottom, with a locked box next to it.
"Ok, who's going for the necklace? And that box," Zoe asked.
"How cold it it?" Willow asked.
"Very," Thomas replied.
"I'll still do it, but someone else will need to get the box," Willow said.
"I'll do it," Sean said.
"Let's do this," Willow said. Willow and Sean rolled up their sleeves and the group stepped back, then plunged their hands into the ice cold bird bath.
So, I go for the necklace, and immediately regret my life decisions.
It was so cold. My arm was numb in a few seconds.
"Its so cold," Willow said.
"I got the box!" Sean said.
"Have you got feeling in your arm?" Willow asked.
"No."
"Me neither," Willow grabbed the necklace, "I have it!"
The group rejoined them and looked at the necklace and box.
"What is that box? Do we have any keys we didn't use that might fit work on it?" Lizzie asked.
"There's no keyhole," Jack said. The group stood for a moment, puzzled.
"I think we should leave it in the break room for now. It might be useful later," Willow said. The group agreed.
"We'll take it back for you," Alex said. Jack gave him the box and he and Lauren left. The guests headed back to the witch.

When the guests made it to the moat, Mark was still standing in the exact same place, still in a trance.
"We have your necklace! Now let Mark go!" Sean shouted.
"Throw the necklace into the moat," the witch said in a sing-song voice. Willow threw the necklace into the moat and Mark was released from the spell. He stumbled back, clearly disoriented.

"What happened?" he asked, dazed and confused.
"She had you in a trance," Sean explained.
"Oh. For how long?" Mark asked.
"About 20 minutes," Sean replied.
"Send your chosen two to me and I will reward you greatly," the witch sang.
"I don't wanna vote again!" Sasha exclaimed.
"Looks like we have to," Phil said. The group trudged back to the break room, each one of them desperately trying to justify who they will vote for.

My Villain {Loki ff -hun}
Alexis Foster soha nem gondolta volna, hogy egyszer kijuthat a galaxisba, ráadásul egy teljesen idegen bolygóra. Ám amikor ez nővére, Jane kérésére megtörténik és a lány Asgardba kerül, megismerkedik az éppen büntetését letöltő, cellában raboskodó Lokival, aki fenekestül felforgatja a lány életét. Vajon a különös, bátor és talpraesett midgardi lány is képes lesz megváltoztatni a csalás és hazugság istenét? És mi történik akkor, ha a találkozásuk nem csak egy puszta véletlen? Miről szólhat az a bizonyos, titokzatos prófécia és mi történik akkor, ha egy olyan küldetésben kell részt venniük, amelyből nem biztos, hogy mindketten élve visszatérnek? A történet szereplői a Marvel Comics tulajdonában állnak, így minden jog őket illeti. A főszereplő viszont az én ötletem szüleménye, akárcsak a történet, így minden jogot fenntartok rá! A történetben lesz néhány elem, amely megegyezik a filmekkel, ám lényegében inkább a saját elképzelésem után formálom, alakítom azt, tehát nem követi magukat a filmbeli történeteket , hanem kissé átalakítva kerülnek bele események/karakterek.Kellemes olvasást kívánok mindenkinek!
