The Stone Witch (2013)
“Mary and Mr Blood went back into the tomb.
The statue had moved a little way along the ledge. It was moving towards the mouth of the cave.
Mary looked at Mr Blood and gasped. His hair was white. His skin was pale and wrinkled.
Mr Blood said, “The witch’s statue is starting to move. Her magic is working. You have to get her to the water before she comes to life. After that it will be too…”
He stopped talking. His skin went grey.
Mr Blood had turned to stone.
Mary ran outside and looked down ...to the village.
Edgar was running back. He was pulling a barrow with him, but he was alone.
He ran up the slope. All around him there were people who had turned to stone before they could get home.
How can Edgar run so fast with a heavy barrow? Mary thought.
As he got closer, she noticed he had a beard. He’s a man now, she thought.
“You look different, Mary,” said Edgar in a deep voice.
“So do you,” said Mary. “Hurry, or it will be too late!”
They pulled the barrow into the tomb.MoreLess
