Once upon a time, there lived a poor wood-cutter with his step wife and his two children. The boy called Jake and the girl name tsume. They were so poor they couldn't buy any food not even a loaf of bread the father was running out of ideas seeing that growing the food wasn't helping the soil and the ground was too dry and couldn't grow anything, He groaned and said to his wife who is the stepmother of the children

"What is to become of us? How are we to feed our poor children, when we no longer have anything for ourselves?"

"I'll tell you what, early tomorrow morning we will take the children out into the forest to where it is the thickest, There we will light a fire for them, and give each of them one more piece of bread, and then we will go to our work and leave them alone, they will not find the way home again, and we shall be rid of them." said the stepmother, There was a moment of silence as the father was shock at what she said

"woman are you crazy we can't do that to our kids?!"

"I guess you don't want to live I guess all four of us will just starve to death"

"Alright you win "

"Good "

"But I must warn you these kids aren't normal," the father said as he knew the Secret of the two kids, The two children felt great and super hyper from eating candy tsume poofed up, Jake was getting a cup of water until he heard what their stepmother had said to their father. Jake got his cup and ran back to his room and saw tsume playing with her teddy bear that was a dark purple color with button eyes and a sewn-up mouth

"Somthing wrong?" Tsume asked looking up to her brother

"Gee I don't know, if you think our stepmother is trying to send us out into the middle of nowhere and leave us out to die isn't a problem then no nothings wrong"

"Your kidding"

"I wouldn't kid at a time like this"

"Alright fine, I have an idea but we have to wait until they are asleep" Midnight hit And when the old folks had fallen asleep, tsume and jake got up, put on their little coats, opened the door and crept outside. The next day at dawn before the sun had risen, the woman came and awoke the two children,

"Get up, We are going into the forest to fetch wood"

"Then your good, you don't need us," said Jake

"Yeah go get it yourself " As tsume said that they landed on the floor with a thump as the stepmother flip their beds over

"Really lady?"

"GET UP NOW !" She shouted

"You wanna go bitch let's go, " Jake said ready to fight but tsume stopped him

"Jake no, not today"

"Fine" She gave each of them a little piece of bread, Jake and tsume just looked at her

"This is something for your dinner, but do not eat it up before then, for you will get nothing else." Tsume put the bread in her pocket, as jake did the same along with the pebbles in his pocket. Then they all sat out together on the way to the forest. As they were walking Jake was making fun of the stepmother making Tsume laugh but then was yelled at by her which made him pull a knife out but was quickly taken away by tsume

"Why must you stop me? let's just kill the bitch and get it over with"

"calm down Jake let's just go by the rules"

"(Sigh) you and your rules"

"Hey don't blame me it's just a story"

"Who are you brats talking to?" The stepmother asked them annoyed from there whispering

"Uh, no one"

"Just admiring your beauty," tsume said as the stepmother roll her eyes and continued walking as the other two continue to follow. When they had walked a short time, jake stood still and peeped back at the house, His father saw this and asked

"Jake, what are you looking at Pay attention, and do not forget how to use your legs."

" Sorry, I was looking at the little white cat, which is sitting up on the roof, and wants to say good-bye to me." jake said

"Fool, that is not your little cat, that is the morning sun which is shining on the chimney." said the stepmother

"Lady ! If i say its a cat it's a cat !" Jake said as the stepmother stopped and glared back at him as tsume jumped in front of him. When they had reached the middle of the forest, the father said

"Now, children, pile up some wood, and I will light a fire so you may not be cold." Tsume and Jake ran behind a tree as Jake used his earth power to get some wood and tsume used her witch powers to make some wood appear altogether, as high as a little hill. The brushwood was lighted, and when the flames were burning very high, the woman said

"Now, children lay yourselves down by the fire and rest, we will go into the forest and cut some wood. When we are done, we will come back and get you ."

"I find that hard to believe but whatever, " said Jake as tsume and Jake stood near the fire and when noon came, each ate a little piece of candy that tsume poof up, and as they heard the strokes of the wood-ax they believed that their father was near. It was not the ax, however, but a branch which he had fastened to a withered tree which the wind was blowing backward and forwards. And as they had been sitting such a long time, their eyes closed as they fell fast asleep. When they awoke, it was already dark night. Tsume sigh and stood up with jake.

"They ditched us"

"Now how do you like following the rules tsume huh?! How are we to get out of the forest now?"

"Remember, powers, duh"

"Yeah I know but ..."

"But nothing lets go ! " tsume said as he pulled tsume next to him as he wrap his arm around her then started surfing along a self-made wave of earth to the house once back and the sun up They knocked at the door, and when the woman opened it she saw that it was tsume and Jake

"You naughty children, why have you slept so long in the forest? We thought you were never coming back at all."

"Yeah right lady, I know your games !" Jake said giving her the I'm watching you sign,tsume and jake walked into the house with a basket

"Where did you get that basket of food?" asked the mother

"God gave it to me," tsume said as she poured the food on the table, the stepmother was so surprised at the amount of food there as she said she will make somthing good . as she was cooking the dad came over to the kids

"Tsume I'm..."

"No need to speak dad it's alright, me and Jake understand," She said with a smile as he looked sad for what he did to them, of course, he knew they could take care of themselves selfs but he still felt bad. Not long afterward, there was once more great dearth throughout the land, and the Jake and tsume heard the stepmother speaking at night to the father

"Everything is eaten again, we have one-half loaf left, and that is the end. The children must go, we will take them farther into the woods so that they will not find their way out again. There is no other means of saving ourselves." The man's heart was heavy, and he thought,

"It would be better for you to share the last mouthful with your children." The woman, however, wouldn't listen to anything that he had to say but scolded and yell at him. As for tsume and Jake they were still awake and heard the conversation. When the old folks were asleep, tsume and Jake made another plane as tsume took the broom from the corner of the kitchen and told Jake she would be back but as she touched the door nob she found that it was locked

"What's wrong?"

"It's locked," Tsume said looking to her brother as he cracked his knuckles

"Not for long," he said as he walked over to the door and quickly tsume put a silence spell over the mom and dad as Jake kicked the door off the door frame

"Jake !"

"What? It's not locked" He said proudly as tsume sigh and roll her eyes as she Got on the broom and flies up in the air and went off in the direction of the forest. Jake had to keep watch if the stepmother wakes up, an hour later tsume came back and looked dead tired

"Are you ok?" Jake asked as he let her lean on him as she landed and on the ground

"Yeah let's just the spell I cast was much harder then I thought"

"Good job, now let get some sleep," Jake said helping his sister to there room as the two went to bed and fell asleep quickly, Early in the morning came the woman, and took the tsume and Jake out of their beds. Of course Jake was about to kill her with an ax he hides under his bed when the stepmother back was turned but put it away when the father came in and greeted them, the piece of bread was given to them, but it was smaller than before. On the way into the forest Jake would stop at times and look around

"Jake, why did you stop ?" Asked the father

"um I'm looking back at tsume's little pigeon that somehow got on top of our roof, and wants to say good-bye to me...should we be worried?"

"Should we be worried?" Tsume asked the dad as he looked to her with a smile petting her head

"Fool." Said the woman, "That is not your sister's pigeon, that is the morning sun that is shining on the chimney."

"Lady if you correct me again it's going to be..."

"Jake" The father called to him as he stopped what he's about to say and sigh Tsume however was busy watching the path they take as she hopes the spell she cast will actually help, The woman led the children still deeper into the forest, where they had never in their lives been before.

"This isn't good" Tsume said

"What's wrong?"

"She knows"

"What ?!" Then a great fire was again made, and the mother said

"Just sit there, you children, and when you are tired you may sleep a little. We are going into the forest to cut wood, and in the evening when we are done, we will come and fetch you ."

"Again, I find that hard to believe, " Jake said When it was noon, tsume and Jake eat some fruits and played wizard 101 on the iPad that tsume proofed up, Then they fell asleep and evening passed, but no one came to the poor children. They did not awake until it was dark out

"Great we fell asleep and we got ditched"

"It's not all that bad," Tsume said as she got comfortable in the king's bed she made for them to sleep in

"Let's just go home"

"We can't"

"Why not?"

"Just wait until the moon rises, and then we shall see if my magic did work, it will show us our way home again." tsume said playing with her teddy bear

"You do realize you can fly right?" jake asked

"Yeah but I'm Going by the rule of the book," Tsume said as Jake fell backwards on the bed with a big sigh making tsume giggle, When the moon came they set out a pathway of blue light lantern flowers popped up from the ground that seem to be leading a long way

"Ready to go?"Jake asked as tsume nodded

"But let's have some fun shall we ?" Tsume said as then the two was zipping fast threw the Forest on hoverboards laughing and whopping until they saw that the path of flowers lanterns was cut off as a big house that was made out of cookies stood in there way

"Yay cookies !" Tsume screamed as she jumped off the hoverboard and started eating it making Jake sigh as he knew how much tsume loves cookies, he also took a bit from the house as he broke off the window

"Nibble, nibble, gnaw Who is nibbling at my little house?" Asked a voice from inside the house

"nobody," Jake said as his face was stuff with cookies and Suddenly the door opened, and a woman as old as the hills, who supported herself on crutches, came creeping out. Tsume and Jake just looked at the old woman not scared at all as they took a bite out of the window cookie

"Wow, your old" Jake said as tsume hit him telling him to shut up, The old woman, however, nodded her head and said

"Oh, you dear children, who has brought you here?

"Uh the devil, and by that i mean are stepmother" Jake answered

" Poor kids, Do come in and stay with me. No harm shall happen to you."

"Uh no thanks I believe we're good," Said tsume as she and Jake dropped what they had and turn to leave but a hand was placed on there shoulder's stopping them as they turn to the old woman

"Please, it will only be a minute," She said as the two look to her then each other

"Sorry, but are mom told us not to speak to strangers," Tsume said

"You are clearly violating the stranger part," Jake said as the old woman laugh then She took them both by the hand, and led them into her little house. Then good food was set before them, milk and pancakes, with sugar, apples, and nuts. Afterward, two pretty little beds were covered with clean white linen,

"Tsume is this save?"Jake asked

"I can't tell but it's good so what's the worst that can happen?"

An hour later)

"I freaking knew it !" Jake screamed as he was locked In a little stable, behind a grated door. And tsume was playing servant. The old woman had only pretended to be so kind, She was in reality a wicked witch, who lay in wait for children, and had only built the little house of bread in order to entice them there, When a child fell into her power, she killed it, cooked and ate it, and that was a feast day with her. Witches have red eyes, and cannot see far, but they have a keen scent like the beasts and are aware when human beings draw near.

"You, go fetch some water, and cook something good for your brother, he is in the stable outside, and is to be made fat When he is fat, I will eat him." The witch said making tsume cross her arms

"Your kidding right ? do you know what i can do to you ?!"

"yes i do, but you're in my world now girly and the powers you have won't do anything to me, now unless you have a death wish you'll Do as i say or else" she said taking out a knife making tsume growl as she did what the ugly witch told her to do, pretty much Jake already knew how this was going to end so he didn't eat any of the food tsume was forced to make for him as jake figured out that the old witch was not good at seeing from far away so tsume would toss food out the window or make it disappear with her magic when the witch wasn't looking. four weeks had gone by, and jake still remained thin, the witch was growing with impatience and would not wait any longer.

"Now then, tsume, stir and bring some water. Let jake be fat or tomorrow I will kill him and cook him." The evil witch said laughing Wicked making Jake throw down the comic that he had

"that's it I can't take it anymore I am putting my foot down !" he said as he kicked open the iron bars that held in the stable making the witch turn to him and shocked at how easily he broke out

"didn't your mother ever teach you it's not nice to kill little children!" Jake said as he formed into his Rock Golem form making the witch scream in fear as he grabbed her and threw her in the oven and slammed it shut turning it on as the Flames burned her alive as she screamed and died

"Now stay there and think about what you did!" Jake said as he changed back into his normal self and look to tsume who had a satisfied look on her face

"Wow Jake you got rid of her and less than a minute"

"I know, I couldn't take it anymore I'm sorry I broke character"

"No no that's fine I was getting tired too I was going to take her but it looks like you beat me to it," tsume said as she held up her teddy bear

"Okay ...so I guess it's time for us to get back home now right?"

"yeah let's go"

"I'm gonna kill that bitch when we get home," Jake said as he and tsume got on there hoverboards and zoomed off to the house, from afar they saw there father standing outside looking sad. they began to run as fast as they could calling to there father as he looked up surprised at the two kids, as they threw themselves round their father's neck. The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the children in the forest. The woman, however, was dead and Jake wasn't happy about that but tsume was

"Father now that we're rich I think it's best if we move to a place that doesn't involve witches living in gingerbread houses and trying to kill little children," tsume said

"Yeah"

"Hold on tsume if we leave then what about other children that do find a gingerbread house and end up getting killed, nobody will be able to save them but us," jake said

"Hold on I thought you said you hated living here?"

"I do but since the old bag is dead there's nothing better for us to do other than become the huntress and Huntsman of Hansel and Gretel," Jake said as he held up his AX standing cool in the ray of the Sun

"You know what, I like that, but instead of that we should be known as grim skull and purple violet," Tsume said as she stood by him with her dark purple and black hammer resting on her shoulder

"That sounds much better, "their father said in all anxiety was at an end, and they lived together in perfect happiness.
