Chapter 1: The fight

Sojie loaded up her bow, then shot, she got the Evil Tree of Mordax right in the head, but  missed his weak spot.

“Darn it!” she hissed as she slapped her knee in frustration.

Meanwhile, her  twin brother, Nex, was galloping along rapidly on his trustful zebracorn, Cilia.  Nex shot at a giant that was chasing him.

“Better focus on where I have to go,” Nex mumbled as he threw his longbow into his knapsack. Nex was on an important mission, it may not sound as important as you think, but it was important to Sojie and Nex’s elderly friend, Miss Louisiana Mouse. She had a dreadful fever, and was very weak right now. “I'm coming Miss Mouse!” Nex whispered with determination. Nex finally arrived at Miss Mouse’s house, and hopped off Cilia. He rushed through the door with excitement.

“Oh dear!” Shouted Miss Mouse in surprise. Nex apologized, gave her the medicine, then said he must go. (And of course Miss mouse insisted Nex had to take home a bag of  her famous homemade chocolate chip cookies for him and his darling sister.)  

    “Stand back, Etom!” Sojie shouted to the Evil Tree of Mordax, as she swung her machete at him. She hit his legal root but did barely any harm. She had  already sliced off ten branches. You think that is a lot? No way! Etom had at least 30,000 more!Just then, Nex arrived. “Nex!” Sojie cried, “Please help me!” she finished between grunts. Etom already had Sojie nearly to the ground, and she was struggling to stay strong.

“No one will help you two now!!!” Etom's voice slithered into Nex’s head. Sojie looked into Etom's terrible eyes once more, and with a jerk upward, she was standing back on the hard pavement.

    “Nex!” she cried as she was jerked of her feet. “Where are you? He has me!”

    “Shhh,” whispered a voice. “He’ll find us!” It was Nex. He swung Sojie onto Cilia.

    “Ohhh,” she gasped. Then she lost her strength and fainted. When she woke Nex’s worried face stared down at her along with someone she didn’t recognize.
