Will and Zara entered the forest. The forest was dark and filled with scary sounds – sounds of animals that they couldn’t identify. The trees seemed to come to life, with their branches looking like skeletal fingers waiting for Will and Zara to look away so they could snatch them up.
Zara stuck close to Will while he led the way. Whenever she told Will to go back, he assured her that they would be okay in the forest.
But they were not okay. They ran in circles, running into the same rocks and same spooky trees over and over, lost in the forest. They didn’t even know how to go back anymore.
“Are we lost, Will?” Zara asked, clinging to Will like tape to a piece of paper, for she was afraid of losing sight of him and being alone in the forest.
But Will didn’t answer because, yes, they were hopelessly lost in the forest.
The sun had almost set, and Will and Zara would soon be trapped in the forest at night – when the scary monsters come out.
