Meet the Challenge!
Survival can be summed up in three words – never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

“Why are you saying that?” Dylan was interested to know.
“Because tonight there is a full moon. I am pretty sure that these black clouds will appear again.” the aged woman went closer.
“What?” Jack was taken aback.
“For two days, the forest has swallowed everyone who walks down to its paths under the moon light.” The old woman’s words sounded weird.
Jack and Dylan were laughing while Lilly and Alicia were trying to pay attention to the old woman. The lovely girls kicked them on their ankles and stared at the old woman again. She was serious and didn’t seem naïve. She didn’t seem to joke. After a few seconds, Dylan looked pensive; he couldn’t stop scratching his nose. Jack decided to walk back toward the bus, giving her his best smile. He looked at Alicia, and she acted the same while Lilly was next to Dylan ready to talk.
“Yeah right…” Dylan didn’t believe her words.
“You can laugh as much as you want but I am not kidding, young man.” The old woman pointed at him.
“Whatever you say, miss.” Jack nodded at the old woman and then he shook his head.
“Come on guys, let’s go back.” Lilly looked back and, after a while, she started walking toward the school bus.
The four kids left the canteen looking only straight ahead, admiring the green beauty and the numerous birds.
“What is that? What happened to them?” Alicia hadn’t seen something like that before.
“I have no idea!” Only Lilly was able to answer. The rest carried on looking upon the birds.
They noticed that their teachers and the driver were watching the sky.
Dylan turned back and observed the woman who was obviously disappointed by their reaction. She sat on her broken brown chair, and the wind began a battle with her hair. The woman sealed her lips and shook her head until two black eagles flying above them managed to steal her sight.
“Did you see her eyes?” Jack was still curious about the aged woman.
“That woman made me chill, look my hand! I got really scared!” Lilly wanted to forget her…
