FOREWORD

The 13th of November, Friday, 6666. Is it a coincidence or fate? At this particular evening, three teenagers went looking for advanture in an abandoned house, which was located in the middle of the forest. Adam,Catherine and Arman are the three best friends. Once in the house they coulden't find a way out.

***

The sun was shining through the window like never before. Having opened the window slightly, Arman's mom woke him with a gread surge of light"Mooom" - Arman murmured sleepily, "Let me sleep a little bit more ." Trembling, but at the same time, confident voice of his mother answered "Stop lying, it's time to go to school. Your friends have come and they are waiting in the living-room. After school come back home immediately. Today is a special day" But he heard mother's last words badly, because after his mother had told him about his friends arrived, he remembered about their adventures.

Down in to the living-room Arman appeared in Catherine's arms ,which wasn't typical of her.

"Oh my God! It has happened! You are awake. We have been waiting for you for an hour!" said Adam angrily.

"Well, we usually wait for you for two hours . As you can see nothing bad can happen if you just wait! Diligence is the mother of success. Let's go to school. And then ..."

The school bus came and three friends sat on their favorite places by the windows. Wearing headphones, they and other children started to school. There was nothing special and unusual at school,except the appearance of a new chemistry teacher. He limped on one leg, his face was scarred and his eyes were as the bottom of the well. You couldn't see the bottom when you looked into them. His name was Mr.Gabe. The first time the children saw him, they had goosebumps. But some time later everyone had got accustomed to him and treated him like an ordinary person.

Finally, the school finished and everyone went home. And three friends stopped in the middle of the road and tried to catch a taxi to get to the forest. Catching a taxi, they were at the entrance to the forest. The forest looked like all other forests, nothing mystical was in it.

"Why are we standing at the entrance to the forest? Shall we go?" said Adam confidently

"Let's go. If you are hero, then lead us," answered Catherine snidely.

Here they were in the forest. At first sight the nature seemed to be unusual, it was difficult to describe it in one word or one sentence. Arman noticed the changes in nature and light. The sunlight wasn't so bright birds stopped singing. The farther they went the worse they became. Adam was scared and had butterflies in his stomach. When they wanted to come back home a house appeared in front of them.
