“That’s true. If Ms. Fiona hears about it, Ms. Patty wouldn’t be amused.”
At this point, Nina was pleased, but Maya grew worried.
“That witch doesn’t even leave her room. How am I going to use the stink bombs?”
Kyle, who had been quiet all the while, suddenly spoke up, “That’s even better. You sneak in and use the bombs on her!”
Juan nodded his head in agreement. “Yeah, bring in a few bombs and burst them all. She’s sure to suffer.”
Maya gave their suggestion some thought and blinked, asking, “What if I smell them and faint?”
Nina pondered over her sister’s worry for a while. “You can wear a hood over your head and shield yourself completely. That way, you won’t smell anything.”
Maya thought it over and decided that it was a good idea.
“When it gets dark, we’ll go in and see her. You will sneak in and hide. We will cover you.”
Maya nodded her head vigorously, certain that she could carry out the mission.
In the evening, Juan, Kyle, and Nina went in to see Sylphiette, trying their best to distract her so she would not notice Maya climbing in, heavily armed and wearing a hood.
The plan went smoothly, and Maya crawled under the carved mahogany bed. Her plump little face was full of joy as she found a comfortable position and settled down happily.
Then she took out the stink bombs and arranged them neatly, one by one.
Witch, you will surely suffer the horrible stench of these bombs.
Sylphiette looked at the three kids, who had come to visit her, and after a few greetings, she asked them to go out and play on the grounds that she wanted to rest.
The three kids came out smiling happily when they saw that their plan was succeeding.
“It’s all up to Maya now!”
Just as Juan finished speaking, they saw Evan coming their way.
“Uh-oh, Daddy is coming to see the witch.”
“No worries, if Daddy can’t stand the smell, he’ll definitely come out!”
“That’s right; we’ve got to keep calm.”
The three kids were taken by surprise. But they reacted quickly by greeting him as if nothing had happened.
Evan’s gaze swept over Nina. Did Nina trick the woman inside, knowing that she isn’t her real mother?
Before he could talk to Nina, the three of them greeted him by screaming loudly, “Daddy,” and ran away.
