Chapter 9
Meet the Trix
The next day Maddie felt better about her parents' death, but something seems to be bothering her. Maddie's friends could tell that she was scared.
"Maddie, is something bothering you?" Luigi asked.
"Yeah," Maddie said. "I had another dream last night."
"What was it about?" Prince Dreambert asked.
"I have to fight three witches," Maddie said sounding scared.
"When do you have to fight them?" Mario asked. Maddie was about to reply when they heard someone laugh. Maddie and her friends turned around, but saw no one. When they heard the laugh again they looked up to see three witches flying in the air. One witch has long white hair that is up in a ponytail. She's wearing a blue jumpsuit with an "I" in the middle of it and blue boots. The second witch has short, purple frizzy hair. She's wearing a dark pink mini dress with a "S" in the middle of it. She also wore dark pink tights and boots. The last witch has long brown hair. She's wearing a purple jumpsuit with a "D" in the middle of it and purple boots.
"Who are you?" Maddie asked the witches.
"I'm Icy," the witch with blue clothes said.
"I'm Stormy," the witch with the dark pink clothes said.
"And I'm Darcy," the witch in purple clothes said.
"Together we're called The Trix," all of them said at once. Maddie felt really scared.
"We're looking for Queen Maddie," Icy said coldly.
"I'm who you're looking for," Maddie said shyly. "Why are you looking for me?"
"We're here to steal your powers," Darcy responded.
"You will not take my powers," Maddie yelled as she shot ice shards from her hands. The Trix dodged them. Stormy, Darcy, and Icy started to use their powers on Maddie while she used her ice magic. Maddie kept dodging and blocking
The Trix's dark magic and vice versa. Maddie as getting tired, but she kept fighting. This time when Maddie shot some ice shards, The Trix reflected them back at Maddie. The shards went too fast for Maddie to defend herself. The ice magic struck Maddie in the heart and she stumbled backwards.
"She's too strong," Icy said. "Let's wait till we get stronger. Then we'll fight her."
"Good idea," Darcy said slyly. "Let's get out of here." Then The Trix disappeared. Maddie slowly stood up feeling weak. Maddie's friends rushed to her side.
"Are you okay?" Prince Dreambert asked.
"I'm good," Maddie said. Then Starlow noticed something.
"Maddie," Starlow said, "you're hair is turning white." Maddie looked at her hair to see that she is correct.
"Is it because you got struck in the heart?" Mario asked. Maddie nodded her head in agreement.
"Won't you die?" Luigi asked sounding worried.
"I guess," Maddie said quietly, "but I feel fine right now."
"If you say so," Starlow said. "Let's go back to Wakeport." So they walked back to Wakeport, but Maddie felt like she's in danger.
