PART II
`The Blood Stained Axe of Count Leaguegolf`
...Michelle thanked
FRB for the cooked sausages and headed on her way. After a few miles she noticed the forest start to darken in the dusk light. She had an eerie feeling that she was being watched !!! Then behind her she heard the
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP of something following her. She quickened her pace and pretended she`d heard nothing. Then louder this time, she heard the
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP,THUMP of something following her !!! With her heart pounding she started to run to evade her pursuer.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP came the noise even closer this time...until
CRASH... Michelle tripped on a log and landed face first on the floor...her axe falling beyond her reach. She turned over and awaited her fate as something was approaching her through the forest !!
Then out from the bushes emerged a little white rabbit and a grey squirrel...
" I`m ever so sorry " said the rabbit "...did I startle you?" he asked Michelle.
" Of course you did Jackamo " said the squirrel " For a rabbit you run like an elephant".
" Oh yeaaaaah Frichissin " said the rabbit, " Wellllllllllll I`d rather be an elephant-like rabbit than a glorified rat with a bushy tail " taunted the rabbit.
" Who are you calling a rat ?" shouted Frichissin.
" Why....you....Frichissin....or should I say Mr Ratty " said Jackamo rabbit with his paws on his hips as he leaned into Frichissins face.
" Right, that`s it Jackamo" and with this the squirrel leapt onto Jackamo and the pair locked themselves into combat rolling around on the ground.
" Stop it" shouted Michelle as she lifted the pair off the ground and separated their flapping limbs. " Now tell me, why are you following me" demanded Michelle as she lowered them to the floor. Frichissin stood bolt upright, his arms folded and with a deep frown as he glared at Jackamo. He said nothing. Meanwhile Jackamo brushed the dust off his fur with exaggerated slow motions whilst giving Frichissin a snooty look.
"Wellllllllllllllll " said Jackamo " I smelt hot dogs in your knapsack, and decided to follow you, I hope you didn`t mind!"
"These are homemade sausages Jackamo that
FRB made for me" replied Michelle. " Would you like one?" enquired Michelle.
" Too right " said Jackamo. Whereupon Jackamo sat down to enjoy the sausages that Michelle offered.
" So " said Frichissin " What`s a nice girl like you doing in a forest like this?" He asked.
" Well " said Michelle," I was looking for a way out of this forest but, I`ve now decided I need to go to the castle of
Count Leaguegolf and steal the magic red axe off him...but I`ve lost my way and need a guide to take me there".
"WHAT" said Frichissin "Are you mad

, no-one has ever escaped from
Count Leaguegolf`s castle...ever" shouted Frichissin, and with this Frichissin leapt to his feet and ran off into the woods!!!!
Jackamo looked suprised and said " I`m sorry Michelle, but Frichissin is right, no-one`s ever escaped from Count Leaguegolf castle...and there`s no way I`d take you there..uh, uh... no way....not for all the carrots in China"
"I`ll make you a deal" said Michelle " If you take me to the castle then I`ll let you have the rest of these `hot dogs`...!".
Jackamo scratched his chin and thought about the tempting offer.
" I`ll tell you what " said Jackamo " I`ll take you to
Waz the Wizard....he`s a virtual neighbour of
Count Leaguegolf he`ll show you the way to the castle, and you`ll probably find
Stlcard with
Waz the Wizard too...I`m sure
Stlcard will help you."
Michelle weighed up the offer for a moment. " Okay Jackamo, take me to
Waz the Wizard then.
...and with this Michelle followed Jackamo as he (loudly) bounded ahead of her. Somehow or other Michelle truely felt that
Waz the Wizard and
Stlcard would be very helpful in her quest to steal the red axe of
Count Leaguegolf off him...!
Coming soon...Part III... When Michelle seeks the help of
Waz the Wizard &
Stlcard for her meeting with the
FEARSOME Count Leaguegolf on Halloween !!!!!
