school, and by the way, you have to take us to school, so wake up,” Jessica shouted loudly until Patrick woke up. Sleepy Patrick carefully looked at his daughter and smiled, here it is happiness, children, they are his happiness, his joy and the meaning of life.. He did not even remember even once about the night incident. Although, he will remember that adventure more than once. He did not even suspect that soon he would be one of the first to know the secret of the forest, the secret of the noise, the voices that came from the side of the forest. And the reason why he will know about everything will be the person closest to him, about courage, courage, the kindness of which, he is to learn. A lot will happen beforethan Patrick will be part of these events. After preparing breakfast, Patrick opened his laptop, a cold shiver ran through his body. He opened a news site, there was an article about a strange noise that one of the inhabitants of the neighboring village heard yesterday, the man claimed to have heard this noise at eleven o’clock, almost an hour before Patrick heard it. He felt uneasy, but he didn’t show it. He sat down inchair and thought about what was going on. He asked many questions, but he could not answer any of them. Without drinking tea, Patrick drove the children to school in a terrible mood, when he arrived home, Patrick opened his laptop and began to look for articles about voices, noises that came from the forest. If he had not personally become a witness, had not heard the noise, would not have believed these witnesses, thinking that they simply heard all this. Patrick believed himself, what he heard. He found several articlesabout such cases, so he was not the only one who heard the noise. This forest was called forbidden, no one dared to enter the forest. Fear was stronger than curiosity, Patrick was no exception. Judging by the dates, all these oddities began to happen recently. Now the main thing for Patrick was to keep the children safe from all this, until it became clear what kind of noise it was and who or what was the source of this noise. Jessica and Charlie at school have already made friends with several classmates, even seemingly closed and serious Charlie began to change before our eyes. A smile appeared on the boy’s face, his face beamed, he mentally thanked Patrick. Robert, Alice and Sammy, with whom Charlie became friends, were good guys, peers and classmates of Charlie, became his best friends. Robert was a nimble boy, a brunette with blue eyes, a brown-eyed red-haired girl, with glasses, blond, serious, he stood out for his physique, the girls ran after him and Alice was no exception. And Jessica tried to be sociable and polite, as her dad advised, shecommunicated with everyone, but mostly they were girls, including those from a parallel class, one of Jessica’s best friends became Alice, the teaching staff was delighted with the success of Jessica and Charlie, and Patrick was proud of the children. They didn’t fail him, he didn’t have to blush in front of Mrs. Fisher. And the latter praised them and thanked Patrick for bringing gifted children to her school. Patrick realized that it was not in vain that he gave advice and instructions to children. Meanwhile, Jessica, having heard Charlie and Alice’s dialogue about a strange forest near their village, remembered the article she was reading when she entered her father’s office. Noticing Jessica, Charlie waved his hand, inviting his sister to join the discussion of the oddities going on in that forest. Curious Jessica did not refuse, she was very interested and wanted to figure it out. First startedgive an opinion on what’s happening in the forest, Charlie: “Well, they say there are talking trees, people heard voices, I used my dad’s laptop and there were articles about the noise of one hundred sides of the forest. They say that there aren’t even any animals there, so it’s all trees, they make noise and talk “” – well, Charlie, of course, tried his best to convey all the information that he owns to the others, but Alice just laughed and didn’t say anything. Jessica was unhappy that Alice reacted with laughter, she decided to support her brother. Jessica did not like to argue, even Patrick could not argue with her. She looked at Alice and said something that made Alice think. And if you do not believe Charlie, then doubt your innocence. Jessica started with the most important thing: ““I also saw the articles, you can not believe them, but it is unlikely that several people from different villages decided to agree, I’m going to find out what’s wrong, I’m going to go to that forest and find out what’s going on there, I’ll film everything on my phone camera and prove that my brother is right. Charlie, don’t look at me like that, I’m almost fourteen now. I’ll explain everything to dad later, he won’t scold me, he loves us. When I first saw those articles, I became curious about what was really going on, who was scaring people and why. I want to find out and no one will stop me!” Having said everything, Jessica waved her hand to the guys and ran down the long corridor, what is really happening, who scares people and why. I want to find out and no one will stop me!” Having said everything, Jessica waved her hand to the guys and ran down the long corridor, what is really happening, who scares people and why. I want to find out and no one will stop me!” Having said everything, Jessica waved her hand to the guys and ran down the long corridor, the lesson had already begun, but the girl’s thoughts were busy with other things, after the end of the lessons, Jessica decided to talk with her brother, at dinner the children did not say a word, only nodded their heads. Patrick was puzzled by this, he always felt when the children were worried or had problems. It seemed to him that even now something was happening to them. While all three were thinking about their own, the doorbell rang, they were neighbors, they came to invite Patrick and his children to Alice’s birthday, because she was not only Charlie’s classmate, but also a neighbor. Now the first priority for Patrick was to choose a good present for Alice. But he had an assistant who could tell him what to buy so that he would not have to blush in front of everyone later. Charlie also decided to ask his sister for help, so that she would help him choose a gift for a classmate. Jessica understood all the responsibility, she only had to go for a gift, she also had to postpone everything related to the forest, although she was determined. There are a few hours left before the birthday, choosing a birthday present is not easy. It wasresponsible mission, besides, it was necessary to buy not one, but three gifts. But she knew almost everything about Alice’s tastes, her preferences. They went with the whole family for gifts, Patrick did not know where to buy gifts, but he heard that there is a special hypermarket. He searched the internet and within minutes, the family was on their way. They drove up to a large, red building, there was a shopping center nearby, Patrick had to go there too to buy clothes for the children and food, he also had to buy a new TV. There were many things to do, as well as responsibility, they had to be in time everywhere, on this day they were not up to the forest, with its oddities. It was not difficult to find the department with gifts, it was on the first floor, Jessica insisted on buying a dress and sweets, Patrick had only to obey his daughter and buy a dress and sweets, a large basket, Charlie asked to buy a house, leaving the gifts in the car, Patrick and the children went to the shopping center: a large yellow and blue building with three floors, on the first floor there were clothing stores, household appliances, office equipment, a cafe, almost the entire second floor was a grocery store, with the exception of a few shops, in which were cosmetics, perfumes, household chemicals. The third floor was mainly for fishermen, those who like to read and stationery. Patrick and the children went to a cafe, Patrick ordered pasta in sauce and green tea, mashed potatoes with pieces of beef for the children, this was their favorite dish and juice. Patrick rarely went anywhere with the children, be it a park, a cafe, a shopping center. Leaving the cafe, they headed towards the children’s clothing store. The choice was huge, but there were only four hours left, the beginning of the holiday. Jessica and Charlie were trying on clothes. It was summer on the nose it was necessary to buy summer clothes for the holiday, a festive dress for Jessica and clothes for Charlie. For almost an hour, the children chose clothes and finally each of them chose clothes for himself. Jessica chose a pink dress, and Charlie a T-shirt and jeans, the clothes were certainly not cheap, but Patrick did not feel sorry for any money for the children.The kids were delighted and Patrick was happy. But there was one more thing to be done. Buy a TV, the family went for a TV. Patrick chose a small TV because they rarely watched it. Charlie read books almost all his free time, and Jessica also kept up with her brother, tried her best in terms of studying. Arriving home, Charlie and Jessicahelped his father install the TV, Patrick did not notice how an hour and a half had flown by. There was not much time left before the holiday, Patrick was already ready, however, like the children. Though tired, but joyful, they went to the neighbors.
