The Terrifying Forest

Autumn has just ticked over and some people were already missing Summer, but some people were looking forward to it like Jeff and Liam. Jeff and Liam are both the same age, 25. They lived in a house near a disturbing forest apparently was really nice before something happened.

Jeff and Liam always wanted to go into the forest but they didn't know what was in there, no one did. Some  nights they’d both look out at the forest entry and try see if anything came out. One night something came out of the forest, it was too dark to see exactly what it was but Jeff said “It looked like a tiny object” and since then he’s always wanted to explore the forest.

Everyone was told to never go in the forest which made made the boys more eager, and one day there curiosity got the best of them.

One day while Jeff and Liam were walking home from University they crossed past the forest and Jeff was just to excited he pressured Liam to go with him as they stood outside the entrance of the forest they heard noises, creepy noises rustling leaves, scattering and more. As they slowly started to walk through they heard someone yell there name and they both sprinted for the entrance finding out that it was there friend who saw them go into the forest, Jack.

Jack asked why they were even thinking of going thru there Jeff told them “It would be fun” and Jack replied “Oh, no no no no no!” Jeff and Jack argued for 5 minutes and then decided to all go into the forest.

As they all kept their eyes peeled for any movement they heard noises walking noises, crunching noises and weird noises as they were now speed walking they heard crying of a baby they rushed over to what looked like a baby and tried to pick it up it was just too dark to see what it really was.

Liam picked up the baby and felt how hard it was, when he noticed what it was right before it bit him Liam screamed with all his might and power  and screamed to the top of his lungs and yelled “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” as he flicked the doll of his hand they all started sprinting to the end when all of a sudden they heard laughing and footsteps that weren't theirs they looked behind them and saw so many dolls chasing them.

As they start to see the sunlight they feel things on there back little nudges on there back which increased their speed, heart rate and fear. Running towards the light, they were all scared and tired but they were determined to get out alive, coming closer and closer to the light. The boys just reaching the end just in time before one grabbing hold of Jack’s shoes, as soon as they got into the light the dolls decided to back away.

As the boys tried to catch their breath they were shocked at what had happened. As they kept running a little further they stopped to realise what just happened. They all agreed to never go in the forest again.

WITS

Have you ever been bullied in your life, well here is a new solution and it is called WITS. WITS stands for walking away, ignoring it, talk about it, and last but not least seek help. 


 This is the first step to using your WITS which is walking away. Walking away is to be used in a situation when people are making trouble. “Would you follow them or would you walk away?”


 The next step is ignoring. You can use this if people seem to tease you, could always ignore them instead of causing a fight. If I was in this situation I would have to walk away and ignore it, wouldn’t you? 

What comes after Ignoring is talk about it. It is when discussing things with your friends. It could help you with your problems. And also if you and your friend disagreed with each other this could always help.


When it gets to hard you can seek help by getting a teacher or a trusted adult. Tell them whoever has been bullying you and it could sometimes teach the person a lesson and it will make you have a better time.


Using your WITS helps you in your future as you won’t end up in a fight or hurt. Remember to use your WITS, and always use them in bad situation. THE END :)
