My story it’s only the beginning but i would like to know what others think

“Mum I’m gonna go on a walk I’ll be back soon.” I grabbed my jacket and iPod and headed for the door.
“Okay but don’t go into the woods, you know what they say about that woods.” My mum put a very serious face on.
“Mum that wood isn’t “enchanted” don’t listen to all the myths.” I quickly opened the door and ran out before I got the half an hour lecture on how mythical creatures are real and that they do live in that forest.

The forest isn’t anything special. I mean no-one goes in because this stupid village believes all the myths and legends. They say that evil spirits live in the forest and there is a great battle happening between the forces of good and bad. They have even locked the rusted gate into the forest but that isn’t going to stop me.

I swiftly climbed up and clambered over the rusted Iron Gate.

I jumped down into other side began to walk through the waist high grass which swayed in the gentle breeze.

The forest was quite nice the sun was shiny through the canopy and warming me up. There was an eerie silence in the forest that sent a shiver down my spine. But I kept on walking; I was determined to bust the myths.

As I got deeper the silence was unbearable there wasn’t any wildlife around just dead trees with branches which curl round in jagged ways.

Out of nowhere I heard a whisper shatter the silence. I quietly tip toed towards the whispers.

As I drew closer they turned into voices.

Ugly voices.

Repulsive voices.

From the corner of my eye I saw where the disgusting voices were coming from. I pulled myself close into a tree and peered round at two women.

The first woman had bright orange, matted hair that emphasised her pale white, wrinkly old skin. She was wearing a dress that looked like it originated from the Victorian times; it was all torn, dirty and bleached by the sun.

Suddenly she hissed at the second woman and slapped her across the face. The second woman held her face for a few seconds.

She was a beautiful woman full of youth. She had long beautiful blonde hair which reached her waist, mesmerising blue eyes which were crystal clear and perfect skin. She made every model on earth look like a tramp.

“But mother I love him.” The second woman pleaded.

Suddenly a high pitched scream penetrated the eeriness. I clamped my hands over my ears in a desperate attempt to save my ears but it didn’t help.
The second woman just stood there screaming. When the scream finished I peered around to see that the first woman was now standing in front of a pile of ashes. She then started to walk away in the opposite direction cursing and shouting.
“When I find that boy I shall rip him to pieces and kill him! Arterez!” A ball of fire filled her place and then vanished.

I waited for a few minutes to make sure she was gone slowly crept over to the ashes, checking around for anyone else, and stared in astonishment.

In the place of the ashes was now a beautiful necklace with the most amazing pendant I had ever seen. There were four diamonds in it; they were red, blue, green, and a clear one. Detailed strands of metal curled around them and held them securely. These strands formed a Celtic kind of pattern that formed a circle. It was so beautiful. I couldn’t take it so I put it back on the ground where it belonged. I had already seen enough of this forest so I decided it was time for me to make a hasty exit.

I began to run in the direction I thought I came but it all looked so alike I think I ended up going in circles. I desperately ran for the exit. I eventually was seeking the comfort of my phone.

As I reached into my pocket to get my phone I found something that didn’t feel right.

I slowly pulled out the pendant I saw earlier.
