“I’m soaked through!” said Rosa, shaking water droplets out of her hair.
“Let’s get dry,” Nutmeg said, magicking up two large towels. The girls quickly rubbed away the water. Luckily the sun was shining and their clothes soon started to dry out.
“So someone’s put spells on the ship,” said Rosa, looking out to sea. “How are we going to get on board then?”
Nutmeg looked thoughtful. “Maybe I could conjure up a small boat and we could row over?”
“The pirates would be bound to see us coming,” Rosa pointed out. She wracked her brains. They couldn’t swim or row to the ship, or use magic to get there. If only they could get the ship to come to them! Her thought gave her an idea.
“Could you magic up a treasure chest, Nutmeg?” asked Rosa. “A really big one the pirates will see from the ship?”
“Yes, I could. But why?”
Rosa grinned. “Because if the pirates see it they’re bound to come over in their rowing boats – the ship would run aground if they brought it any closer. And then maybe we can pretend to be in their crew and get on to the ship that way.”
