Angelica and The Wizard

By: Yuni Safitri

          Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who lived in the village. Her parents named her Angelica, because her face was like an angel, not only her face, but also her manner. So, everybody liked her so much.

One day in the midnight, Nancy, a black witch who didn’t like her, came into Angelica’s room and kidnapped her. Nancy brought Angelica to an old castle in the middle of the cauldron and cursed her. So, Angelica would change became a monkey everynight.

The only way to break the curse was that Angelica must be kissed by someone who could save and brought her out of the castle. But everyone who would save her was always prevented by The Black Witch, Nancy and her dragon.

 Angelica was so sad, she cried everynight in her room on the second floor, because she missed her family. She was always hoped that someday a handsome prince would save and freed her from the curse.

Early one morning, Angelica woke up because she heard a noise from the first floor. She went out of her room, seeing two wizards fighting using their magic wands and casting a lot of spells and the dragon was spraying the flame from it mouth. Everything looked so messy and horrible. Angelica was so scared, she hid behind the barrel near her.

Nancy cast a spell to a wizard, but the wizard could avoid that spell and attacked Nancy with a spell and he did it. Nancy fell over and banged her head until she was fainted. After that, the  wizard cast a spell to the dragon and made it frozen. He went upstair and looked for Angelica.

“Miss, where are you?” the wizard asked. But Angelica didn’t respond, she was too scared.

“ Don’t worry, don’t be scared, I won’t hurt you, I just want to help you. Please get out !” said the wizard, hopeful. Then, Angelica showed herself.

“ Oh really? You will help me?” asked Angelica.

“ Of course. So, come on before Nancy come to realize!” said the wizard.

Then, they ran towards the door on the first floor.

“ What’s your name? and who are you?” asked Angelica while they were running.

“ My name is Fred, I’m a wizard from the village.” explained Fred. After they was arrived at the door, Fred asked Angelica to ride his broomstick with him. At  first, she felt so scared but that was the only way to go out from the old castle. So, she rode the broomstick.

They flew away the old castle, passed the cauldron beneath them. At the safety distance, Fred cast a spell to the old castle and made it sank into the cauldron.

In the village, Angelica’s parents and the people were waiting, and when Fred and Angelica came, they cheered loudly. Angelica’s parents ran towards Angelica and hugged her tightly.

“ Mom, Dad, I miss you so much!” said Angelica.

“ We miss you too, honey.” said her Mother.

“ Thank you for your help Fred, you’re still young but you’re very brave.” said Angelica’s Father.

“ Never mind, Sir.” said Fred.

Angelica was still unhappy, because the curse didn’t break yet, and the day was going dark.

“ Mom, the curse…?” said Angelica and she cried.

“ Oh yeah, Angelica, this is the potion for you to drink, it can break the curse, drink it at night.” said Fred while giving a bottle of potion to Angelica.

“ Thank you Fred, you’re so kind. But, the only way to break the curse is you have to kiss me.” said Angelica.

“ Yes I know, but I have gathered a potion for you. So, with that potion, I don’t have to kiss you.” explained Fred.

At that night, when Angelica turned into a monkey, she drank the potion. Then, the magical thing happened, she became a normal girl again. She and her parents were so happy, they went to Fred’s house to be grateful and asked him to married Angelica.

In the next day, Angelica and Fred were married and they lived happily ever after.
