Chapter 11

Now, the wolf knew that Lessie had a way of communicating with the animals. He also knew that there were many animals frozen or trapped in the ice world on the ground outside the castle.

He was hoping that with melting snow, the animals would be freed.

“Lessie, go and check if any of the animals have been freed. Tell them to come in and help us. “

By now the melting snow was at such a high rate that a river was being formed outside the castle carrying the melted snow.

At this point, they saw the white soldiers coming towards the mirror room led by a white wolf. The wolf quickly came up with an escape plan. He shouted to Lessie,

“Look girl, they are here to kill us. I want you to get to that door and jump into the river and get away from this place! Go now!”

But Lessie would not have any of that. She replied the wolf,

“No! I’m not going without you. We go together or we die together you hear?”

‘Just do it you stubborn girl! Why are you so stubborn?”
The wolf shouted in desperation!

Soon the white wolf and the white soldiers arrived. They stopped and looked at the two who had destroyed the ice world.

“Well well well! Welcome back my old brownie!”

The white wolf snarled as the rest of the soldiers surrounded Lessie and her friend. Then he continued,

“What, is that all you have---a girl as a friend who, even now is going to leave you to your death?”

The white wolf continued teasing his brown counterpart.
Lessie turned to face the white wolf and without any fear in her voice, said,

“No! you don’t touch my friend , you hear!’

At this point, the white witch arrived at the scene, looking very angry and serious, she interrupted Lessie,

“Then you come forward to me and this ugly brown wolf will live.”
“Don’t listen to her Lessie! Go and save yourself and the other animals!” shouted the brown wolf!

The white witch let off a wild screech of laughter, and the other soldiers followed her.

“Hahahahaah! Awwww, how touching! They are such great friends! Go---get them now. Kill the brown wolf but I want that girl alive! “

The witch commanded the white wolf and the soldiers.
The brown wolf took a stance, ready for any eventualities, ready to fight and die as he growled at the soldiers. A fight soon broke out. A terrible fight!

The witch started to approached at the retreating Lessie. She was soon at the edge and looking down, climbed up the parapet and looked down the flowing river and the melting snow. Turning around, she saw the evil witch approaching her with her long fingers and long nails.

Lessie had no choice.
‘Take care my dear friend. We will meet again.” She shouted to her friend.
The white witch screamed,”No no no no! Come back here you silly girl!!”

With that she jumped down the 20 meter high castle wall as instructed by her friend the brown wolf.
