Anya P.O.V

As both of us walked side by side the path became more illuminated showing us the way as if the forest knew what we wanted . Rumours have it that the dead witches spirits watch and care for the creatures of the forest nourishing them like a mother does for her children . The Forbidden forest did lived up to its name from outside it can be described as one's worst nightmare but from inside it was beautiful , extincts species of birds chirped around the trees , the trees were luscious green with thick branches and beautiful flowers of colours so exquisite that one can lost themselves in there beauty .

( Imagine the inside of the forest as this )

( Imagine the trees as this but with a blood moon in the background )
The soil was soft beneath our foot but our footprints were no where to be found in the soil . The only rule to survive here is to respect the forest and obey the witches .

Breaching the exit

I didn't know why the spirits gave me the solution or why did they even interact with me while running I asked violet the same and unfortunately she didn't have any answers either . I knew what Violetta meant for her that's why I had to drink the solution but I do not feel any different neither do violet all these question were spiraling my mind as I ran through the trees hoping to not bleed anywhere what seemed eternity but was only 15 minutes I exited through the maze of trees and found violet standing there for me her eyes frantically searching for me . The moment she saw me we ran into each other arms and she cried while I laughed it was one heck of an adventure . The morning sunrise was taking place as we both made our way back to the town wanting to catch our bus for our way back home .

Violet P.O.V

I never knew that Forbidden things are can be such beautiful , the wind , the blood moon at its peak was shining among the sky filled with glitter of stars in majestic constellation patterns , it seemed otherworldly but I was cautious the spirits have tested our friendship which we passed hence they showed us the entrance but survival still remains . It been two hours of various twist and turns since we are following the north pole star Violetta lies in the north direction ; the spirits tried to tricked us by showing us two paths but we succeeded in choosing the correct one . Coming through yet another crossway in the forest , Anya and I both created a circle using the twings found in the surroundings and collected the flowers we didn't plucked anything from the trees we are not the owners and caregiver to take something we take what we are giving , after the completion of the circle both Anya and I chanted the spells used to reverence of the dead in Sanskrit time seem to stopped as the atmoshpere changed gone were the beautiful skies and trees in there place stood a place where even monsters would scream for mercy . A cold shill went through my spine as I noticed the movement of a spirit through my peripheral vision it was happening the spirits were summoned , dropping to our knees in submission and respect I watched in horror as the spirits multipled shrieks of pain and yells echoed in the air , the air smelled metallic of blood the soil turned red and it rained blood on us from the clouds our body could only tolerate so much the sudden weather change made both of us shiver and our teeth chattered due to cold . I could not longer feel the rain dropping on me ; my fingers had turned blue , my clothes soaked in blood but we stood in submission but I kept asking for Violetta speaking with my ancestors in our tongue showing them my truth my vulnerability after a long time of just asking tears ran through my eyes my knees wobbled as I realised that the spirits were not going to help me . Suddenly thunder Crack in the air the atmoshpere returned to normal but we remained on our knees with blood on our faces and clothes . Just when I thought I had lost this chance one of the spirit came forward we could see they were five of them standing in front of us in a line while we remained in a bowed position . A gentle touch on my shoulder made me and Anya stand ; Anya kept her eyes closed but I kept mine open she is human the spirits didn't want them to see her for now . I looked at her ; her long hairs were flowing freely as she was dressed in purple dress hands which were cursed her veins black and her eyes white she smiled at me and took my hand . Time seem to stop as she put a small herb of vibrant purple colour in my palm Violetta . Fresh tears ran my eyes and I began sobbing , I had done it . I was free , I watched as the spirit
