Chapter-12: Entering the black forest.
Hero was sitting on the field and his friends were taking care of his goats and sheeps.
"Hush."
"Hush."
This time Hero was sitting on the ground holding one dead plant in his hand and he was trying to give him a new life. Angel was also there and she was looking at him. She asked Alice and other friends. They told her that he is trying his best to control his powers. She wondered because no one can make dead things alive.
Meanwhile, they all heard the sound of horses and chariots. There was a muddy road which separates the field from the villager's area. They all stopped there and called him in a loud voice. They told him that very soon he will get his first lost in a chariot race. Hero knew that they knew about the king and he had challenged him for the race.
… They again shouted and asked him to look at them but Hero looked at him with an angry facial expression.
"Get lost."
All the horses shouted and they started running away from there and they were all trying their best to control them.
Isabella also reached there and she started irritating him but it won't distract him from his work. She found that Angel was also there and she was looking at her.
"I hate her." Said by Isabella.
"What happened?" Asked by Hero.
She starts giving him a fake smile and asks him to do his work. … They all heard the sounds of goats and sheeps. They looked around and found many goats and sheeps were coming towards them. They all were controlled by a group of small girls. All the girls were looking at them and they found out from their dressing sense. All those small girls belonged to the backward class.
All sheeps and goats started running towards Hero and Isabella was sitting with him. She stood up and shouted at them to take them all away from him but all goats were running towards him. She was about to hitten by those sheeps but Hero moved his head towards left and all the sheeps moved towards left and entered inside the field.
"Thank you, Hero."
… She shouted at all those girls and Angel had seen her anger for the first time. She knew that she was angry but never saw her anger.
"Isabella… take a seat." Said by Hero.
Angel was surprised to see those sheeps and goats were running towards him but Daniel, who was sitting behind her, said that they also wanted to know about that. Angel was shocked because without saying anything, they knew her question.
After some time, he threw down that dead plant because he was tired from doing the same thing. Sun was setting down and everyone started collecting their sheeps and goats. But when Hero stood up and was about to call all the sheeps and goats, they all heard the screaming sound of a girl. They all looked around and found a girl who was shouting at a baby goat. That baby was walking towards the black forest, that girl had no idea what to do. She looked around and saw Hero, he was looking at her. She quickly ran towards him but Isabella stopped her because she was from a backward class and they can't touch them, if they do so then they will be punished.
They beg him for the baby goat but that goat has entered inside the forest. They again shouted and requested him to save him but Isabella told them to go away and she asked everyone to go.
They again requested him and Isabella grab his hand and start pulling him. Hero saw their feared face and tears. He can't hold himself because he knows that he is the only one who can do that.
"Ok… I will go."
… Everyone was shocked at him but Isabella shouted at him and asked him not to go. But he does not listen to him and starts walking towards the forest. All his friends were looking at him with shock and because they knew that if someone used to go inside that forest then he can't come back. Daniel ran towards his home and told everything to Mary and Joseph. They both were shocked when they heard that their son was going inside the forest.
Within a second, this news spreads all over the village and Thomas gets scared because he knows that her daughter is mad and if he is going inside that forest then she will also go along with him. He also ran towards the field and found that all the goats and sheeps were standing in a group and all boys and girls were looking at the forest. Mary asks them about Hero but they point their finger towards the forest.
… Thomas looks around and notices that his girl is also missing, when he asks everyone they again point their finger towards the forest.
She started crying and got angry with those small girls because this all happened due to them.
Hero was walking around the forest and there was everything in black color. Lights were passing through the leaves and branches. When the air used to blow that time he had goosebumps all over his body but his heart beat increased because he heard some footsteps behind him. He made a fist and his fist was burning with fire and he quickly turned back to hit that thing but it was Isabella. She was shocked because she saw him in anger.
"You!!" Said by Hero with shock.
"Yes… me. I thought you need help."
… He was in shock. He moves his head and starts looking around. Without knowing anything, he kept moving inside and co-incidentally, he stepped inside the area of that mansion where four witches were living.
He steps inside their area and a huge earthquake comes inside the mansion and Hena's chair starts shaking and they all feel a huge shock wave. All four witches were shocked and want to know the reason behind that shock wave. All three witches came in front of Hena and that time she was standing in front of her mirror.
… All three were standing behind her but they were scared of her because she also knew about the wave.
"He… Hena."
She raised his hand and called them all to stand around that mirror. They don't know what she wants to show them all. She waved her hand over the mirror and that mirror showed them one boy and a girl was walking inside their area in search of a baby goat.
Three of them recognized them both and they told Hena that his name is Hero and due to this that night they weren't able to touch anyone.
… "Oh… he is that boy. Hmm." Said by Hena.
She again waves her hand and asks them to come along with her. Four of them changed their looks and went out in search of them. They had taken the body of an old woman. She waved her hand and all the bones disappeared from the forest and Hena asked them to find that baby goat because that goat will take them to him.
Isabella was getting scared because she noticed that the color of the trees had changed and now, all the trees were getting darker.
"He… Hero… I am a little bit scared."
… He looks at her and makes his eyes big. It means to stay quiet. He was walking forward and stepped on a dried stick and a cracking sound appeared.
"Ahh!!" She shouted and grabbed him.
"You are making me scared also."
Now, the sun set down and all the villagers were standing there and waiting for them. Thomas had called many people and asked them to go inside that forest to find them but they all refused because they knew that no one could come back from that forest. He offered them more money but then also they all refused. After this he started blaming Joseph but he told him that their son is along with his daughter and nothing is going to happen with his daughter. But Thomas told him that this all happened because of his son.
Mary requested him to stay silent. She was worried about both of them but she was thinking about his son's powers because if he gets out of control then who is going to stop him.
Hero was walking around and he was using his power but could not find anything.
"What is happening?" Said by Hero.
He wasn't able to see properly, it was like something was stopping his power to go further but he was trying his best. This all happening because Hena was stopping his powers. She was standing at one place and looking at him. She was trying her best to stop his power to reach his place but she couldn't hold him for a long time. She contacted other females to find that goat quickly because he was too stronge.
Finally they found the goat and came back to her.
They give that goat to her and she holds that goat in her hands.
"Now… let him come."
Suddenly, his power saw four old women's holding their goats in their hands.
"Follow me."
