Chapter One – Beginings

Up on a mountain top lived a small girl called Shuhai, who lived with her little sister Hai-Lin and their mother Zodiac. The village that they lived in (or rather on the out skirts ) was called Hootsville. They were so called “witches”,just because they made healing medicines the local pharmacy. Zodiac helped the villagers when they fell critically ill.

“Mum why do people call us the local witches?”Hai-Lin asked one day

“Do you know what I don’t know why people call us witches!”Zodiac answered whilst stirring the funny looking concoction in the large cooking pot.

DING DONG

“Shuhai could you get that please!”yelled Zodiac

“Ok” answered a voice from upstairs somewhere

THUMP THUMP THUMP CRASH

Then a small brown haired girl appeared from the direction of the stairs ,she walked through the kitchen and to the front door.

“Go see what your sister has broken this time. ” Zodiac ordered exasperatedly.

So Hai-Lin trundled off to do as she was told and a couple of seconds later she sank back into the kitchen .

“Erm mum shes broken that really special pot puppet” Hai-Lin said timidly

“Oh”

“Mum,mum guess who’s here”exclaimed Shuhai”Granny and Grandpa moonface “

“Well Granny and Grandpa moonface know you to have to go to school”hinted Zodiac

“Aaaaghhhhh”moaned the girls

“If this is a bad time we can come back later”informed Grandpa moonface

“No no stay please!”begged Hai-Lin

Granny shifted in her tie die shorts”well we did come to see if the girls would like to come to the farm for a few days”

“Oh please please please mum we’ll be really good promise” begged Shuhai

“I don’t know…. hmm fine ,but as long as you two behave yourselves” explained Zodiac

“Yaaaaaay” the girls cheered in unison

“Right girls you better go pack your…….”

Hai-Lin and Shuhai were half way up the stairs before Zodiac could even finish

Shuhai ran into her room dived under her bed and pulled out a big blue suitcase and packed a nighty ,a few sets of clothes ,her best looking teddy bear and her toothbrush.Hia-Lin pulled out from under her bed her smaller pink suitcase and packed the same sort of things.They both ran back down stairs got their coats on and siad goodbye to their mum.

“Right girls put your suitcases into the boot and get into the back of the car”Grandpa told them as they left the house.

The girls did as they were told and soon after they set off the girls nodded off and before they knew it they were there.
