11 Inside the Game

11 Inside the Game "There's only one thing to do now," Sprite said, looking at the screen. "You mean... we have to go into the game?" Violet asked. Sprite took out some pixie dust. "Exactly!" I'm scared, Violet thought. But it's the only way to save Leon!

"Let's do it," Violet said. She held her nose and closed her eyes. Sprite sprinkled the pixie dust on them. Violet opened her eyes. She felt weird. Like she was flat.

Violet looked around. Green jungle plants were everywhere. Big bright flowers grew as tall as she was. Sprite had done it. They were in the video game! In the distance, Violet saw Leon running away. Jolt was behind him.

"Over there!" Violet said. She started to run through the jungle. Sprite flew next to her. "Violet," Sprite said, "look out for the—"

"Aaaaaaah!" Violet yelled. She had stepped in something soft. "Quicksand!" Sprite said. "Help!" Violet said. The quicksand was sticky. It felt alive. It felt like it was grabbing her feet. Now her legs were in the quicksand. She was sinking!

"Oh no! I'll think of something," Sprite said. Sprite flew around Violet. He grabbed a handful of pixie dust. Sprite sprinkled the pixie dust on a vine. The vine crawled toward Violet. It wrapped around Violet's waist. The vine pulled Violet out of the pit. Then it dropped her onto the jungle floor. Violet stood up. "Thanks," she said. "Now, let's go!" Violet ran through the jungle. This time, she kept her eyes on the ground. If she saw quicksand, she ran around it.
