Happy Halloween!
Jessica, Shannon, Talitha, Ranko, Leila and Alanna were all together at school. But one by one, they have vanished. Only Cici and Hikousen are left, and they’ve set out to rescue their friends.
But they need YOUR help. The nefarious Haunted Halloween minions have trapped Jessica and her friends in ensorcelled cages hidden somewhere around the LadyStar web site. Each time you discover one of the ensorcelled cages, you will be able to read another chapter of the story of Cici n’ Hikousen’s Haunted Halloween Hunt. If you can find them, you will be helping Cici and Hikousen solve the Halloween mystery.
Starting Monday, October 15th!
Starting Monday night, October 15th, you have until Halloween night, October 31st, to help rescue all six of Cici’s friends. Then, on Halloween night, the seventh and final chapter of the Haunted Halloween Hunt will be published exclusively right here on the Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar. Can you defeat the Halloween minions and rescue Cici’s friends?
The Haunted Halloween Hunt Rules
The ensorcelled cages and story chapters are on the Ladystar.net site only. It is not necessary to click any off-site links or links provided by any site other than LadyStar.net
You may find clues hidden around the site as well.
Be observant and read the Halloween story chapters carefully. There might be clues hidden there.
Are you up for the challenge? Prepare yourself. The minions are waiting, and they know what scares you . . .
“Alanna! What’s wrong? My timepiece said something was enchanted, and. . .”
“Thank goodness I found you. Listen carefully to me, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Something is terribly wrong. We went to look for Leila, Talitha and Shannon earlier today at Doubler’s. I thought they might have all gone there together for lunch. On the way there, Ranko and Jessica both vanished.”
“Where did they go?”
“I don’t know. I can’t find them anywhere. I’ve got one more place to check. Ranko might have gone over to the athletics building to look for them. I need you to be ready to transform, because I have a bad feeling this has something to do with that Sorcerer.”
“I got my timepiece. Me and Hikousen will go with you!”
“No, Cici. We can’t take a chance that both of us will be attacked. I’ll be right back. Just stay here in the band room, okay?”
“Errrr… Ranko called me and said there wasn’t anyone to do updates today, so uhhh… well, here we be. I’m Tara Blaylock and this is my pal Irina. Let’s see here I wrote down what Ranko
said. . .”
