Inside the Forest

consequences always come on time

Harris Blackwood, a genius. That was what his parents thought when he was born. But to their surprises (disappointment even), he was a troublemaker

The Blackwood had always been known as one of the most ancient and intelligent bloodline. Every single person (except Harris) had the last name "Blackwood" was always the wisest, smartest and the most intelligent.

Harris was the youngest. Different from his older siblings, Lily and Sebastian, he was sucked at every subject had numbers in it. He didn't like having a girlfriend. "I still love my freedom, thank you" was what he said when his father told him to find a girl. He was (unwillingly) the heir of the Blackwood. And now, he was trying to find a way to escape that fate.

Lily was a gorgeous woman, yet untouchable. She was like the stars, beautiful but untouchable. She was Harris's oldest sister and his first idol. She was strong, caring and a bit stern and scary. She often scolded Harris for the troubles he caused, but she supported him. Not only that, she just let him do whatever he wanted. She was now in Russia with her fiancé

Sebastian was Harris's older brother. He was strong, brave and smart. He was a bit stupid sometimes. He was the one who taught Harris how to fight. They both caused troubles, but Harris caused more, of course. Same as Harris, Sebastian didn't waste time on girls, but he wasted time with his lads. Sebastian was now in Canada with his lads.

There was a forest near his town, which was known for being one of the most dangerous forest. Once you went into that forest, you would never come back. For years, rumours about it spread across the village like fire, terrifying children and even adults. But that didn't stop Harris from entering it (he is the main character of course, he can never die). He and his friends decided to enter the forest and discover whatever was in it. They would have 3 weeks to prepare. And when Harris's parents knew this, they weren't very surprise at their son's decision, they were kind of concern.

One peaceful day, with the bird chirping outside, Harris's parents decided to talk to him. And the bird suddenly stopped chirping, and the sky became a bit dark.

"Harris, my son, are you sure about this?" asked Harris's mother

"yes, mother" said Harris

But his father then scoffed

"a bit ridiculous, ain't it? You decided to risk your life for a tree?! Lily and Sebastian would never see this coming!"

"They probably did" Harris muttered under his breath

"Shut! I didn't ask you to talk" His father said

"you're being dramatic, father" Harris said, rolling his eyes

"You will die out there" His father said

"I won't" He grumbled

"alright. You two" His mother decided to speak up

His father cleared his throat before speaking:

"Harris, think about our bloodline. You're the heir, the last hope. You should find a girl-"

"Oh, you mean flirting with girls until I get slapped? Very good idea, father" he said sarcastically, crossing his arms

"But you can stay at home, have a cup of tea and a peaceful day" His father said but was cut off again

"and a bunch of boring ass paper work" Harris added

His father rubbed his eyes with index finger and thumb, muttering something like "stubborn as always"

Harris then grabbed his backpack and said

"if there isn't anything else, then excuse me. My friend is waiting"

He then walked out of the house, leaving his parents standing there.

"Stubborn like always" His father grumbled

"hope he stays safe out there" His mother sighed

"more like hope he realises the consequences. Because they always come on time" His father said

Dumb decision?

"WHAT?!" Exclaimed Andrey as he stood up

"Everyone is looking!" Louis said

Andrey looked around then sat down

"it's true, I could have a lot of money by just being in my house and be the heir" Harris said, taking a sip of his tea "but I chose to be with you guys instead" he added

"well. I would choose money though-" Andrey said but was cut off

"yes, yes, Drey, I know. It's quite obvious though" Harris said

"Look, Harris, I appreciate the fact that you gave up all those wealths just to be with me and this idiot" Louis said as Andrey made an offended look "but you can't just leave your mother and father like that" He added

"oh, spare me 'the family is everything' lecture. In my opinion, blood doesn't make those boring people my family" Harris said

Louis raised an eyebrow at how the rich guy described his family "boring?" He repeated

"well. Only my father is boring" Harris said

"Oh, Harris, just listen to me for once, eh?" Louis said, but Harris chimed in

"I always listen, duh" Harris said, crossing his arms

"but not to me-" Andrey said, but Harris shushed him

"you two-" Louis let out an annoyed sigh before continuing "listen here, you could have a peaceful day at your big and luxury mansion, you could have a cup of excellent tea, and listen to music" Louis tried to convince Harris but sadly, this stupid guy didn't give a damn

"and I could be friends with paperwork, hanging out with them instead of you guys. Such an excellent excuse, Lou" Harris rolled his eyes "and beside. This forest adventure is MY idea so I can do whatever I want" he added

"fine. You win" Louis grumbled

Harris smirked then stood up, drinking all the remaining tea in his cup before saying "then let's go, lads"

And their adventure started, they would explore the... Dead forest?! Well, that was new

"you sure about this, Heir?" Louis asked as they entered the forest, the trees now slowly covering their surroundings

"absolutely" Harris said

"if we die, I will haunt you first" Louis said

"typical" Harris chuckled as he shook his head slightly

"I don't think this is a good idea" Andrey spoke up

"Harris' ideas have never been good" Louis said, glancing at Harris

"I'm offended, my dear" Harris faked an offended look as he placed his hand on his chest

"what? Ain't it right, heir?" Louis said

"it is, but no need to point it out" Harris said

"because you're stupid, so I feel the urge to point it out" Louis said

"you two look like a couple" Andrey finally spoke up 

Harris and Louis looked at him with the "what the fuck" look

"forget what I just said" Andrey said as he looked away

They slowly walked deeper into the forest, both afraid and excited about the journey ahead (only Louis and Andrey). I hope they make it out. Because they're the main characters and if they die, the story will end. Get it? No? Okay

an announcement

Dear my lover readers,

Guys, I have tests this week, like A LOT. I have to study for the next week exams. It will take me a whole weekend. So, maybe I will post a few new chapters when I finish tests and exams (it will take a few weeks). Please be patient because I can't understand a single crap in Chemistry. And I can't focus in class. I'm trying to write chapters for y'all, but I can't because I have to study. Sorry for making you guys wait. Hope you guys are doing better than me

Bonus: I just had 3 cans of Monster this week to stay awake during class. I'm addicted to it, I swear-

From the writer,

T.Vy Mayfield
