Chapter four: A Gypsy

Megan and Jonathan shivered with fright. "Come out of the cave, little girl who was looking for her brother," called a monotonous voice from the outside. Megan and Jonathan stepped out into the bright sunlight. "What do you need with us?" Megan asked in a small voice. "Come with me, girl. I see you found your brother. He may come as well," The gypsy took Megan and Jonathan's hands and marched towards the meadow. "I am taking you to my people. They live in a cave much like this one. It is a day's journey. We will stop for the night in the forest," the gypsy spoke in short, sure sentences. Megan looked worriedly into Jonathan's eyes. "What have we gotten ourselves into?" Megan whispered. "I don't know," Jonathan shook his head. Megan and Jonathan would whisper to each other every now and then, trying to divise a plan of escape from the gypsy. "We should leave a note to Mom and Dad somehow," Megan whispered and quickly looked away from Jonathan because the gypsy was looking at her. About a minute later Jonathan was able to answer her. "When we set up camp we'll have to figure out a way." The trio walked on untill sunset. The gypsy gave them some berries from the forest and boiled some sort of roots. Megan and Jonathan were so hungry that they didn't care how bad the roots tasted. Soon they were so tired that they forgot all about their note to their parents...

Chapter three: The Disappearing Woman

Megan rushed over to Jonathan and hugged him. He looked tired, hungry, and he needed a bath! Megan asked him what happened. Jonathan said that he had seen a strange women over by their house. I walked over to her and asked what she was doing. All the sudden she disappeared. I heard a noise in the woods and went to see who it was. It was the strange, disappearing, gypsy lady. I followed her deep into the forest. For a while she just stared into space. And then she took a nap. When she got up she walked over to a vine covered cliff and whispered "open cave of my people". And all the sudden there was a cave. I followed her into it and then he hid in the shadows. All around of me there were dozens of Gypsy's. They were wearing tons of jewelry. Then, when I was about to leave a coughed. The women came and grabbed me. I got away and ran towards the opening but it closed. Then the lady took me into this room. I had only been here for a hour or two when you got here. Megan glanced around and then she said "lets go". But Jonathan whispered terrified, "someone is coming".

Chapter two: Jonathan?

Megan gasped and looked around for a trace of the strange woman. But then, like magic, there was the cave! Megan knew there was no such thing as magic, but who was that woman, and where was Jonathan?!? Megan sprinted to the cave, hoping she would find her brother there. "Jonathan?" Megan called his name multiple times. All of a sudden she heard a slight noise, coming from deep inside the cave. What was it? "J-Jonathan?" Megan whispered. It was very dark in the cave but Megan was detemined to find her now lost brother. She walked farther, and farther, but still no sign of Jonathan. All of a sudden she heard a noise again, but this time it was louder. Soon she saw light, like a fire. As she came around the corner she saw him. "Jonathan! Where have you been?!?"*Julie*

Chapter one: The Deepest, Darkest Cave

Jonathan, Where are you? Megan called. Megan searched and searched but could not find her brother. Its lunch time, she shouted. This usually brought him on the run, he loved to eat. But there was no answer. So she went inside and reported to her Mom that she could not find Jonathan. So, Mrs.Burns told her to take Jordan (their dog) and a small basket with food and try to find him. Megan searched and searched but to no avail. Jonathan had disappeared! She was looking in the nearby woods when she got the feeling that someone was watching her. Slowly she turned around there right in front of her was a gypsy! The gypsy talked in a cackling voice, and said clearly for such an old lady "you will find Jonathan in the Deep Dark Cave, but watch out for the-" and then she vanished!
