Welcome To The Dark Forest

Chapter 2

Alisa's P.O.V
"That's a horrible idea!" Amanda yells causing other kids to stare.

"Look we don't have to do it right away. All I'm asking-" I say but was cut off.

"All you are asking is that we look for the dead bodies of your parents." Amanda says standing up "And I don't want to see the look on your face when you find them." She adds as she gathers her things and leaves.

I sit there at a lost of words. I look at Josh to hear his response.

"I'll do it. You need all the help you can get." He says and I smile with gratitude.

"Thank you Josh." I say and look at Marisa.

"So..." I say unable to keep still.

"I guess." She says as she pushes her tray aside.

"Ok...but What about Amanda?" I ask

"Don't worry, Amanda has her reasons for lashing out." Josh says as he rubs his temples.

*Bell rings*

"Don't forget we are all going to Kia's house." I say as I grab my bag

"What?! Why my house?" He asks

"Because my grandparents are old farts." I say slinging my bag over my shoulder.

-End of day-

As I lay on my bed my phone vibrates, I look to see that Kia texted me.

Kia<3: Open your window

I look out my back window to see Kia outside. I slide open the window and pop my head out.

"Kia what are you doing here?" I yell out the window

"C'mon I got something to show you." He says running towards the forest near our house. I quickly throw on a jacket and a pair of old black converse.

I run downstairs, but before I could open the back door..."where are you going Young lady?" My grandfather asks.

"Oh sorry. I forgot to mention that I was going out with some friends today." I say eager to sling open the door and sprint out.

"Well it's ok as long as she is with friends." My grandmother says as she walks over and kisses my forehead.

"Thanks grams." I say hugging her and run out the door. I already know they are going to have an argument about this while I'm gone.

Once I get to the forest I stop in my tracks. When I was little and I was here with my grandparents they always told me to stay away from this forest...that it is dangerous.

"What are you waiting for?" Kia asks as he steps forward out of the darkness formed from the trees. His face is deepened and more defined from the angle of the sunlight.

"Nothing." I say as I walk into the darkness next to Kia. He then enter-laces my hand in his. I realize it's hot so I take off my jacket, throw it on the forest floor, revealing me in a tank top.

"Kia where are we going?" I ask as we walk the hiking trail.

"You'll see." He says

"Why are we walking through the forest?" I ask curious

"It's a shortcut." He says winking as I laugh and roll my eyes.

"What about the others. We were supposed to go to your house today remember." I say stopping.

"Yes, I texted them so they would meet up with us." He says facing me.

"Ok..." I trail off as I notice that me and Kia are getting awfully close. Both mentally and physically. He suddenly pushes me against a tree and brings his hand up to cup my cheek.
