previously: The kids are in Mr Grim's office office and are listening to Mr. Grim's tale.
" Are you sure? Do you really want to learn the truth?" "Yes we do." said Ajay and Lena in unison.
" When I was younger me,my mom,my dad and my elder sister Julie used to live together, As I mentioned before I was your age when I first visited the dark forest. That day started like any other day, our school had just left us and as was our custom we visited The moon forest." narrated Mr. Grim " Yes we loved moon forest as much as you both loved it." said Mr. Grim in response to Ajay's questioning stare, " Anyways We loved moon forest and visited it every single day. One day we went deeper than was allowed by law without realizing. Eventually we realized but then it was too late. We were hopelessly lost and were very scared. We shouted for help but no one came, we were too deep in the forest. Finally my sister realized that nobody was coming. She told me that we were too deep in the forest to be rescued and that we would have to find our own way home. So there we tried to find our own way home but all in vain.Finally Julie decided to pitch a camp in the forest and try again tomorrow morning. All we had to do was to get a fire running,thankfully we hadn't finished our lunch boxes and could eat the leftover food,so we had food. We had filled our water bottles before leaving the school building and hence had water. We had torches and matchsticks(Yes we used to carry matchboxes and first aid boxes everywhere) a first aid box,an extra pair of clothes and our emergency candy box. All in all we had enough food for a night. We were scared to get fire wood but just as we were leaving Julie saw a bundle of logs which had magically appeared back were our school bags were. I was puzzled but neverthless grateful. We had everything one needed in the wild except tents , but we weren't troubled in the least, we were used to sleeping on grass courtesy of our scout club. That night was beautiful,after our supper Julie and I lay on the ground and gazed at the stars,shared stories,talked about school and gave each other advice. Julie always wanted to be a nurse you know? The only things she wanted was to leave Pennisota and help others. It is a very sad thing indeed that she could never achieve her innocent dream." " Why? What happened to Julie?" asked Lena who till now had been silent. "She disappeared!" said a tearful Mr. Grim "How ? " asked Ajay,, "The next morning when I woke up she had just disappeared. The only thing she left was a note saying ' Louis I want you to go home right now. It is too dangerous in here, I will come home soon,so don't worry and go on without me . I have drawn a map that will tell you the way home.
Your sister
Julie
p.s love you Louis.'
So I went on my way thinking that she would be home soon. As soon as I reached the town I saw my mom frantically waiting for me. As soon as she saw me she came running to meet me and asked me how I was , she didn't ask a thing about Julie and I assumed that Julie was home. When I did reach home I didn't see Julie anywhere. I asked mom about her but it was as if she didn't remember Julie at all. The first time she just thought I was joking but when I kept on repeating the question she worried about me and took me to the hospital thinking I was hallucinating.I asked everybody who knew her but nobody remembered her. Even her best friend Teresa didn't know her! It was like Julie never existed. I have finally accepted the fact that no one remembers her and have tried to get on with life.
Till date I know not what happened to her." ended Mr. Grim with a sigh. The kids felt bad for Mr. Grim but also felt proud of him, because anyone who had gone through something like this would never be happy nor would he have the courage to act happy,but this man despite the trauma he had gone through put on a brave face everyday and acted happy for the students. Ajay and Lena hugged him and bid him goodbye and went on their way their minds occupied with the information they had got from Mr. Grim
