Alex story:

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Alex who loved to explore the forest near his home. One day, he wandered deeper into the forest than he had ever been before. He was so engrossed in his adventure that he didn't realize how late it was getting until the sun started to set.

Alex panicked. He knew that the forest was dangerous at night, especially for a young boy alone. He tried to retrace his steps, but he was lost. He wandered through the forest for hours, growing more and more scared.

Suddenly, Alex heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw a group of ghostly figures floating towards him. The ghosts were pale and gaunt, with empty eyes. Alex knew that they were after him.

He ran as fast as he could, but the ghosts were faster. They surrounded him, their cold, clammy hands reaching out for him. Alex was terrified. He closed his eyes and screamed.

When Alex opened his eyes, he was alone. The ghosts were gone. He didn't know how he had escaped, but he was grateful to be alive.

Alex continued to wander through the forest, hoping to find his way home. But as the night went on, he became more and more lost. He was tired, hungry, and thirsty. He knew that he couldn't keep going for much longer.

Just when Alex was about to give up hope, he saw a light in the distance. He followed the light and came to a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a small cottage.

Alex knocked on the door of the cottage, and an old woman answered. She was kind and compassionate, and she invited Alex inside. She gave him food and water, and let him rest by the fire.

Alex told the old woman about the ghosts in the forest. She nodded knowingly. "The ghosts are restless spirits," she said. "They are trapped in the forest because they have unfinished business."

"Can you help me?" Alex asked. "I want to go home."

The old woman smiled. "Of course," she said. "I know the way out of the forest."

Alex was so grateful to the old woman. He couldn't wait to go home and see his family again.

The next morning, the old woman led Alex out of the forest. But as they walked, Alex began to feel strange. He felt dizzy and lightheaded. He stopped walking and looked at the old woman.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked.

The old woman smiled. "I'm just helping you to relax," she said. "I'm giving you a special potion that will help you to sleep."

Alex didn't trust the old woman, but he was too tired to argue. He drank the potion and immediately fell asleep.

When Alex woke up, he was in a dark room. He tried to move, but he was tied up. He looked around and saw the old woman standing over him.

"Where am I?" Alex asked.

"You're in my cottage," the old woman said. "And you're never going to leave."

Alex realized that the old woman was not who she seemed. She was an evil witch. She wanted to take Alex's body and make it her own.

"No!" Alex screamed. "Let me go!"

But the old woman just laughed. She began to chant a spell. Alex felt his body growing weaker. He knew that he had to escape, but he didn't know how.

Suddenly the old woman stopped, because Alex somehow managed to break free from the chains and took the nearest axe and tried to hit the woman, but she dodged it and Alex was able to escape.
