Title: Cookies
Author: Autumn Falls
Time: Current
Scene: Planetside


As they looked into the small cottage Autumn couldn’t resist breaking off a piece of the chocolate window sill and eating it. The Captain was not sure that was wise but knew better than to come between a woman and chocolate.

"So what is our plan of action?" The Chief of Operations asked as she attempted to break off another part of the chocolate.

"Well, that teenager might have some clues so we need to get them free. However, we do not know what sort of power that old hag holds so you lure her out and I will break the boy free."

Autumn stopped digging the candy cane out of the wall and looked at Scott.

"Why do I have to lure her out?"

Scott looked her up and down

"Well you look the part." With a sigh Autumn nodded.

"I will loop around the front and start making some noise; hopefully that will bring her out here."

Breaking off one final piece of chocolate Autumn made her way back through the forest. As she approached the cottage again from the front, she started singing to attract attention. It was not long before the front door opened and the old woman came out carrying a basket.

"Hello, my dear. How fortunate for you to be passing as I have just baked these cookies and was wondering who I would share them with." Autumn had to say this old hag had style. Some people used chloroform, but no... it was cookies that this old witch used as a lure.

"Tell me how did you make your cookies?"
