"Wait a minute! I'll make some salad sandwiches and hot carrot tea for you," Molly the cat added.

Ron said quietly, "I'm not going. It's unwise to leave Polly and Molly all alone. I'll stay here and appreciate Sunny keeping me company. Will you, Sunny?"

"Sure," said Sunny the cat. "Fargo, you can have my hat with the fake rabbit ears. It will help you feel safer in this town."

"In our company, time flies, Sunny. We know lots of amazing stories!" Polly giggled. "This will be fun! I'll bake an apple pie!"

Ron tried to warn Hopper. He said, "Beware of the nasty golems on the way. They use ice cubes to block the road."

CHAPTER SIX

A golem’s attack

The road was rough. The car swayed and slid as they drove up and down the snowdrifts. Olivia felt dizzy and sleepy. The girl looked out the window and saw a strange creature. It gave Olivia a mischievous grin and moaned. Its only eye burned with dark flames. The frightened girl recoiled and screamed, "It seems we've met a troublemaker! A golem is on our way."

There was silence. Olivia turned to see that no one was in the car. Her heart was pounding like crazy.

"Hopper? Where are you?" Olivia yelled, grabbing the wheel. What for? She couldn't drive, anyway.

The girl noticed that the golem had blocked the road with huge ice cubes. She yelled, "Stay away from me!" But the ugly creature approached the vehicle, its angry eye glowing maliciously. The golem reached through the window and grabbed Olivia's wrist.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" the girl screamed, waking up.

Fargo the cat shook her by the shoulder. He looked at her fearfully and said, "You cried in your sleep. What's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes. I saw a golem chasing me. It grabbed my wrist. Look at these bruises!" Olivia cried out in fear.
