The Black Woods

|Chapter 1| Our Adventure Begun

"Peter, grab the flashlight," said Mary "You know I want to be ready for the trip." Peter, Mary, Ted and Elizabeth are a group of reckless kids that are going into the black woods and find out who (or what)  has been kidnapping the innocent people and the cause of this curse in the woods. They have been so curious with this case ever since the news slowly became more popular.

It all started when Peter's Grandpa, Grandpa Jeff told them the myth. About a forest in their town in Spring Woods. Spring Woods was a very happy charming place, good neighbourhoods, great people and very beautiful lakes. But in that town there was one forest where the light was never shined from.

The Black Woods People called it. Cause of how dark the sky was and how there was barely any colour in their, from the trees, to the grass even their ponds. There was barely any living life on there maybe only 20 small rodents and that's mainly it. Apparently one day the forest spreaded a mysterious curse and cause a lot of kidnappings. No one knows how and nobody knows why.

The kids felt sorry for the missing people, so they decided to find the kidnapper. As you may have guessed, to even suggest entering the woods is really brave.

"Don't give Peter a hard time," said Ted who was sitting in the living room. "Do we have to pack all this stuff." " Yes," replied Mary, as Elizabeth entered the room. "Are you ready yet?" She asked. "Almost" replied Mary, checking her list. " Okay,"  said Peter " that's it, the last thing." "C'mon," said Ted As he made his way down the stairs.

Soon enough, everything was packed into Grandpa Jeff's weird orange van he had. And began their drive.

The kids were thinking of who might be the kidnapper. "Maybe one of the town folks," Peter said aloud. "I dont think so" Peter said while tapping on the window of the van. "If it were one of the town folks then this entire curse, kidnapping whatever you call it would be over years ago!" he said. "Hmmm" Elizabeth thought. "What if it was......a MONSTER". "Relax, monsters don't exist silly," said Mary. "Well, whatever it is we'll find it," Peter said enthusiastically. Even though the gang was scared they felt confident and knew they would find out soon."Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

The van drove for an hour and finally arrived at the edge of the woods. Grandpa Jeff helped unload the backpacks from the trunk. Jeff came near Petter and put his hand on his shoulder "Are you sure you want to go in there?" asked Grandpa Jeff looking scared. "Nows your last chance..". Grandpa sighed and shed a small tear, he hugged Peter and then hugged his friends. "Don't worry, Grandpa," said Peter, "We'll be fine." Or so he thought....
