Ghost Of The Forest Chapter One Lyla ran as fast as she could, panting heavily. She should never have come here. But if she didn't then she would never had achieved her courage badge for the scouts. The task was to walk in the the scariest forest and collect the magic ruby. Interdite was what they'd called the forest. It meant forbidden in french. Ms Crabapple told her to do it. Everybody else had done it so why couldn't she? If she came back empty handed then she would have to stay in the little kids class whilst her friends moved up to the higher levels completing more daring, challenging tasks. Also, they would tease her, call her chicken. Lyla couldn't let that happen to her. She was all alone in the depths of the forest, no one could hear her. All except one...
