They had to cross the forest. As they were deeper into the woods than they were before, they noticed the trees were so big and so high that there was less sunlight than when they had got into the forest. After a few minutes the trees completely blocked the sun and it felt colder at each step they took. Suddenly, there were no more sounds. Duncan had a bad feeling about this so he took out his sword. Marvin was reaching for his wand when he heard strange noises in the distance. His heart beat faster every second as the noises grew more threatening second by second. Marvin saw a horrible creature. It was staring at them with evil looking eyes. The noises became gradually more frightening and the situation was becoming more dangerous every second. Soon, they realized they were surrounded by bloodthirsty monsters. And they had no way out.
