The Legend of the Forbidden Forest
“Shh! Jack let Alex tell the story!” says Jasmine “Yeah Alex we want to hear the story” says Michael. “ Is this going to be scary?” said Emily. “You’re scared of everything so yes it is!” Michael said in a tough tone “Michael don’t be mean to Emily” said Jasmine. “Fine, I only came because you said that there would be sports.” said Michael. “Are we going or not?” said Jack “Yes, we are starting now.” said Alex. Everyone sneaks out as the parents are asleep. They sneak off to the scariest place they know the forbidden camp… Camp Red Hood. “I am scared, what if we get in trouble?” said Emily. “It's ok Emily, you will be fine.” said Jasmine. “Apparently, decades ago some kids decided to sneak off into the woods and got lost. The kids wandered around and came upon this very camp.” said Jack “I got the rest Jack.” said Alex. As Alex continued on the sun began to get lower and lower.
“The lost children went into a nearby cabin and saw a creepy middle-aged man with a gray beard on the bed. “Hello? One of the children said into the darkness”. Heavy breathing came from the inside the cabin, it was nothing but silence. Next thing you know the man is off the bed and not in the cabin anymore.” “ALEX STOP I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE CABIN,” said Emily in a serious tone. “Don’t be too loud Emily or else the gray-bearded man will come and get you. Said Michael in an ominous way. “Stop trying to scare Emily or I will punch you in the face,” said Jasmine. “Then I will tell mom,” said Michael. “ STOP ARGUING, SHUT UP!” Jack said in an angry tone. “Fine,” said Jasmine and Michael. “ Ok carry on, Alex,” said Jack. “ok” said Alex. “Each one of the kids started getting picked off one by one.” All of a sudden some strange things started to happen...
Everyone got silent except for one person…. Emily! “WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT WAS THAT SOUND? CALL THE POLICE! SOMEONE ANSWER ME! 1

MY QUESTIONS!!!! “Uh guys I don’t feel so well…” said Michael in a weary voice. *THUD* “Are you ok?” said Jack. “OBVIOUSLY NOT” said Alex. “Guys… what is this?” They now the group of four walk over to the cabin where the kids from the story went. “Wait! This is where I said the lost kids were walking towards.” said Alex. “Guys I should go check on Michael.” said Jasmine. “Ok that is a good idea. We will all wait for you here. Said Alex“ Do you hear that?” said Jack” *Heavy breathing* the kids started running towards Jasmine hearing her let out a scream “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” “RUN!!” said everybody. “OK” said Jasmine. The kids hid behind a tall building until it was safe to go out. They all went to the creepy cabins because they couldn't find their way out of the forest. The kids slept until the next morning, but one thing that Jasmine didn’t tell them is that Michael wasn’t there anymore. “Hey, didn’t you see Michael this morning?” whispered Alex and to Emily. “No? Why did you ask? Is he ok?” Asked Emily curiously. “Nevermind I will just ask Jasmine,” said Alex. Before she could make it to Jasmine she came upon a note saying *I am watching you*.
Later in the afternoon, Emily had to go to the bathroom but she was too scared to go by herself. “Jasmine, will you go to the bathroom with me please?” said Emily. “Sure,” said Jasmine. They went to the bathroom while Alex looked for berries or something edible and Jack was looking for firewood. While Emily and Jasmine were heading to the bathroom, they started up a conversation. Later in the conversation, Jasmine was tempted to tell Emily that Michael was missing. “Hey Emily I have to tell you something,” said Jasmine in a worried voice. “What is it? Are you ok? Is something wrong?” said Emily. “Um, I have been wanting to get this off of my chest. MICHAEL IS MISSING!! “Shh! Alex and Michael will hear! Also WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE IS MISSING!” said Emily frantically. “Um... Uh, I don’t know, when I went over I was looking for him but he wasn't there. And there was no trace of anything or him even being there in the first place.” said Jasmine nervously. “We have got to tell the others! NOW!” said Emily angrily.

Emily ran but Jasmine tried to catch her but she couldn’t. So Jasmine stayed behind, but that could’ve been the decision she had ever made. “ ALEX! JACK! I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU!!!” Emily said running toward them. What’s wrong?” said Alex and Jack confused. “MICHAEL IS MI-” right before Emily got to finish the sentence she tripped and fell on her face. Jack and Alex helped her up, but she couldn’t when she got up. Her mouth was bruised and she was too busy crying to even get a single word out of her mouth. Later she could talk and told them, but she forgot about Jasmine. “Hey, guys can you go find Jasmine with me please?” said Emily. “Yeah! Sure we will but are you ok?” curiously asked Alex and Jack. “I’m FINE! NOW LET’S FIND JASMINE!” said Emily angrily. They went to go find Jasmine, but one other person in the group had a secret…. Alex. “Um… guys I have to tell you something,” said Alex. “Here we go again!” said Emily frustrated. “So… I found a creepy note this morning that said “I am watching you” said Alex. Emily, Alex, and Jack started to argue with each other about keeping secrets, but what they didn’t know is that was probably the worst thing they could’ve possibly done. “WHY WON’T YOU TELL ME THIS!” said Jack and Emily. “I…I don’t know, it just didn’t feel right at the time,” said Alex.

The kids started venturing off to find Jasmine while they were arguing. “I don’t get why you can't do this by yourself Emily!” said Alex in a bored voice “Well maybe it wouldn’t be so slow if Jack were to pick up the pace!” said Emily in an angry tone “Well I can’t go so fast if you are yelling at me the whole time!!!” said Jack in an angry voice. While Emily and Jack were arguing, Alex came upon a note that read “I am watching you” . “Wait again?” said Jack “I guess whoever is watching us likes to write the same notes?” said Emily. “Yeah so basic” said Alex. A deep voice from the shadows said “I’M NOT BASIC!” in an angry tone. As they looked at each other in fright, they heard some footsteps crunch in the leaves below their feet. “AHHHHH” Emily said while running for her life. “Come on guys RUN” said Alex “Hey shadow dude I’m not scared of you… I AM A MAN!” said Jack in a confident tone “Jack now is not the time to act like a man when you are a chicken” said Alex in an annoyed voice. “Am not,” said Jack. “YES, YOU ARE” said Alex. “SHUT UP AND RUN FOR YOUR LIVES” said Emily in a panicking tone while running for her life. “MOMMY!!!!” said Emily while crying. After they ran away to a safe place and heard no more footsteps, they looked around for Jack but thought that he found a different hiding spot. The next morning, Emily and Alex went to go look for Jack because he wasn’t at the cabin. “Jack! Jack! Jack!” said Alex “Why are we even looking for him Alex he is a bully to me!” said Emily “Look Emily. I know that Jack is so rude and annoying but if he is lost then it is only us. Jasmine, Michael, and now maybe Jack are missing. We have to look for them. ALL of them!” said Alex “You are right” said Emily “Ok where did we last see Michael?” said Alex “Um when we were screaming we left him at that scary place.” said Emily “Ok let’s check over at the scary place” said Alex. As Alex and Emily went to look for Michael, the gray bearded man was following them. “Alex I don’t feel good. I feel like we are being watched…” said Emily “Emily I think you might be right for the first time” said Alex “wow Alex now is not the time to be smart with me.” said Emily “Ok Emily I know that I told you that we need to look for them but we have to save ourselves.” said Alex “Ok Alex let’s go” said Emily.
