The Forbidden Forest

Callum Ward

Deep in the forbidden Forest of frosted trees stands a run down house with broken windows and broken wood panels, it also has a really really bad history. What makes it’s history so bad you may wonder?

Well 25 years ago it was believed that there was a mass murderer living there, she was a witch, anyone that entered the Forest was never seen ever again. But of course someone wanted to prove the theory wrong, and this time it was three boys; Caelys, Ali, and Jadath. They were planning it for weeks now and ‘the giants’ as they were known at school, decided tonight is the night to explore the forbidden forest.

They had lots of confidence following the path of darkness leading up to the outskirts of the forest, but soon nervousness was creeping into all three boys as they are taking their first steps into the forest itself. They gulp in fear, and are regretting their decision but still continue on their quest, hoping to prove everyone wrong. Even though Jadath and Ali think they are tough at school, here they are at the back of the group letting Caelys lead them.
“Woww,” Caelys whispers as he points at the house that appears in front of them. The house has no lights just darkness.

They all take a deep breath as they approach the house. It is two storied with all its paint stripped off, with blood running down the pillars, it has a porch with a little brown rocking chair on it, and around it is lots of overgrown grass and weeds, it also has leafless trees towering over the house.

As Jadath knocks on the ancient wooden door Caelys and Ali scream,“ What is that!” as they pointed towards the window upstairs. Jadath looks to see what it is but he misses it. The boys go inside all hoping to make it out alive. “Woww,” Ali whispers. Inside is ugly all the curtains are ripped and some of the stairs are missing, there is mould on every piece of wood, it is a mess. Eeeek creaks the wooden floorboards. With every floorboard they stand on there is another creak. After one minute inside they face their first decision, either to go upstairs or to go to the basement.

Immediately Caelys warns them not to go upstairs because he thinks he saw something when he was outside, so the giants agree to go down to the dark basement. Caelys still leading pack takes the first steps, he is anxious to explore the house but he is still scared from what he has seen from outside. As they go down the unsteady wooden stairs and peek around the corner, they see a mountain of dead people with pools of blood on the floor. Suddenly BANG! The door shuts behind them. They all run to the door and yell “Help!” as they are bashing on the door, crying in fear but it is no use they are locked in.

They hear a noise it sounds like a wicked witch laughing from upstairs. As they turn around Ali noticed a vent, It was their only choice, so one by one they climb on top of the mountain of people then enter the old vent. The vent is rusty with lots of fresh spider webs and when you are in the vent you can hear the echoes of all the rats while they are running.

During the trip through the vent Jadath farts and it echos and the rotten smell follows them through the rest of the journey. Finally they see light and jump out and celebrate their escape but their celebration is rudely interrupted by an engine from a voracious chainsaw that is being held by a horrific looking witch. She has hair that looks like it hasn't been washed for years and a nose that is pointy, and on the point is a brown wart. Seeing the Witch sends a chill down their spines. They quickly run to the door but the awful Witch stops them in their tracks, so they change direction and run to the back door it is open, as they run to the front of the house the Witch is still there, so they run to the other side of the house and they make it out, sprinting like their life depended on it all the way back to the outskirts of the forest. Turning back they see the house, above is the green moon like mouldy cheese, soaring the night sky like a superhero protecting the town.

It’s over, normality is back. 

The Boys make a plan to go to the house in the forest to try to prove a theory wrong they pack food and torches. On their trip the giants face challenges, they try and find ways to get past these challenges. Will they succeed? Will they make it out alive?...
