After setting up there tents with magic the girls sit down to eat dinner. Katrina was not in camp as she had disappeared like she did every night. After dinner the girls from cackles sit around the fire
"Now girls I would like to say well done you are all doing well," says Miss Cackle
"Yes it's a shame we lost Fennella today thou" says Mildred
"Yes she's probably back at the temple willing us all to win" says Griselda forcing a smile
"Yes she's in a worm temple and we're out here in the cold," says Ethel
"Oh stop bitching Ethel," says Maud
"I'm not I just can't sleep out here" says Ethel
"What you scared that something will get you," says Enid
"No I'm not scared of anything," says Ethel
"Everybody's scared of something Ethel," says Jadu
"Well I'm not" says Ethel
"Yes you are your scared of losing" says Mildred
"Why do you say that?" says Ethel
"Because you were scared that we would get eliminated from the tournament," says Mildred
"Yes I'm sorry about that I thought you would mess up aging like you always do. But you didn't" says Ethel
"That's ok," says Mildred
"We should be getting some sleep," says Enid
"That will be fine thing with you snoring all night" says Mildred
"I don't snore," says Enid
"Yes you do," says Mildred
"Don't worry Drusilla snores as well I find if you just smack her bottom she shut up" says Ethel
"I'll bear that in mind" says Mildred
The next morning after breakfast the girls put their tents away and stand in their teams
"Good morning girls" says Katrina
"Good morning Katrina"
"Now today will be the last day for one of you. For at days end the team with least caldrons will be eliminated from the tournament. Now not only can you gain caldrons from now on you can also lose them. At this moment Weirdsister are in last place 63 caldrons behind. You also have only three members left. If they are eliminated from the tournament then your team is gone. It will then put Pentangles I last place. So Pentangles will have to do there best to catch Blackbroom who are 14 caldrons in front. So let us go on to the first task today shell we," says Katrina
Katrina leads the five teams on following the river then in land till they come to a large rock. In the rock is the entreats to a large mine
Task 13- mine kart ride
"Welcome to the mine of lost soles girls and today's first task. Many years ago this was a gold mine and the people of this island mined it. But the people moved out when Demysandra came to this island and took all the gold for herself. Now the mine is empty except for caldrons that is. Demysandra has put them there to tempt you to go inside and collect them. To do this you must ride the mine kart. Three girls from one team will get into the cart and will be pushed down the track. As you go down the track there will be boxes hanging in the air that have caldrons in them. There are 500 boxes all containing caldrons. You must collect as many of them as you can. Now one team will not collect them all. So one team will go down then next will go and collect the boxes that they missed and so on. There are five mine karts. One of you must use the brake to slow you down while the other two collect the boxes. Now I know that there are many caldrons in their and these are what you will find"
Black caldrons 100
Brown caldrons 100
Yellow caldrons 75
Green caldrons 75
Blue caldrons 50
Red caldrons 50
Silver caldrons 25
Gold caldrons 25
"As you can see the are many caldrons to get and some of you need them one the others. Now be careful in the mine as if you full off the track you will are eliminated from the tournament. So do you best to stay on the trek? Now Weirdsister College you will go first as you are last. Now as you only have three members left only one of you can collect the boxes. So when you are reedy step into the kart" says Katrina
The three girls from Weirdsister College get into the kart. Katrina then waves her hand and the mine kart moves down the trek in to the mine. At the end of a tunnel the kart flays down a drop and they are on their way. As they go along the two girls gabs as many boxes as she could trying not to look down into the dark sight ether side of the trek. The trek had nothing holding it up. It was there in mid air. The three girls soon retch the end of the track. As they come to the girls get out with the boxes they had collected. Pentangles were not fare behind. Then blackbroom and Redwitch laving Cackles the last to go. Sybil takes the brake while Ethel and Drusilla would grebe the caldrons
"Good luck girls" says Mildred
"Thank you Mildred" says Ethel
The kart goes into the mine down a deep drop at 50MPH. But thou the kart was fast Ethel and Drusilla were also vary quick grabbing the remaining boxes. The track goes into a left then a right and another left. Sybil dose well to keep the kart on the track. The track goes left then right once more then down a steep slope at 70MPH. but Ethel and Drusilla are still able to grab the boxes. The track then has five more turns and two slops in it before coming to a stop at the bottom. The girls are now deep with in mine Sybil, Ethel and Drusilla get out of the kart with there boxes. Katrina the appears with the other girls from the five teams
"Oh good we did not lose anybody then that's good but I see that some of you have not got as many boxes as you would like. So lets see Weirdsister you got a nice 65 boxes there. Pentangles you only got 25 boxes that not good at the moment. Blackbroom you got a big 120 boxes, Redwitch you got 260 boxes and Cackles who may I add went last 130.
