The Beauty, The Beast and the Not-So Fair

In The Woods

Darling's P.O.V

We sneak out through the corridors without waking anyone up. We then sneak out the back of the school and we run into the Dark Forest. The Dark Forest is creepy at day, but is even more creepy at night. The tall dark trees tower over us as we walk along the path. Owls hoot and wolfs howl. I am not scared but when I look over at Briar she is terrified.

"Don't worry it's going to be alright" I tell Briar ask we continue to walk.

Briar: "..." 

Briar doesn't answer, she just hangs her head low. We come to a stop. There are two paths ahead. We stand there and think about what path to choose. While thinking I feel like someone is watching us. 

So I tell Daring to take out his sword "Daring take out your sword"

Daring: "Why?" Daring asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Just do it alright!" I say almost shouting.

Daring: "Geez fine!" Daring says as he takes out is sword.

I scan the tall, dark trees surrounding us with my eyes. I see a little shimmer in the dark behind a tree. 

"Come out" I say looking at the shimmer in the trees.

We weren't ready for who was going to come out. Somebody stepped out of the shadows and came into the light of our lamps. It was Faybelle.

"Faybelle? What are you doing here?" I asked stepping closer towards her. 

Faybelle: "Uh nothing". She says not very convincingly. 

"Do you know where Rosabella is?' I asked

Faybelle: "No, sorry" Faybelle lied.

"Oh, ok..." I said while stepping back. I turn around to read the signs while holding up my lamp. I read where both paths lead to and I look back to Faybelle, who had disappeared.
