Fiction Teens & Young Adult Friendship

Ahh nothing like walking in a empty forest area peaceful and no worries whatsoever Zak told himself. Zak was enjoying his time in the deserted forest and decided to stand by a creek for a bit. With water flowing and birds singing nothing could ruin the moment for until everything went silent. Zak was a bit confused, it never went dead silent out of nowhere, that’s when he saw a light coming from a cave. He had been in this forest, and he had never seen a cave there. So, he decided to do what any dumba** would do and explore where the light was coming from. As he entered the cave it was quiet, but he did see a lot of glittering quartz and jewels which he liked a lot. There were also profice painting there too, he was amazed of what he was seeing. Then he saw the bright light with vines covering the entry. As he moved the vines and entered it was like a different world. There were people that looked like gods and goddess and there were even mythical animals in one area as well. But there were a few people that looked like him with diamonds on their neck or face. He felt like he was home but wasn’t home at the same time. He was a little concerned if he was from this place. And out of nowhere a woman pops up. HELLO WHAT’S YOUR NAME said in a very happy curious voice. Zak looks behind him and there he sees a beautiful woman with a rose in her hair and a few on her outfit. He thought she might be a rose goddess. Where am I like pls tell me I’m mostly confused, and I don’t know what to think of this place mean it looks so recognizable Zak said. Well, if it looks recognizable then you should know your way around," the goddess replied. Zak looked at her like she was crazy like he had never been there before at least that’s what he thought until he looked to the corner and saw a huge group of diamonds. They all looked so cool he wanted to talk to them and also wanted to be part of their group. Hey, what’s that group over there? They kind of look like me Zak mentioned. Oh, there upset because a human kidnapped a person from our world and the young born was part of their tribe, she told Zak. "What is your name by the way," Zak asked her kindly. Oh, my name is Hannah I will soon be queen of rose’s around here, but I need a diamond to rule beside me but that diamond guy I told you about yeah, he was the one that was kidnapped Hannah told Zak in a sad voice. "I have refused every diamond that has been offered to me because I believe we will find him eventually," Hannah said. As she walked around and showed him all the cool stuff and buildings, they came to the stop. Until one person from the diamond tribe recognizes Zak. "Um excuse me sir, are you around here because you look like my son, I lost 23 years ago the lady asked gently. (23 years ago, is when he went got kidnapped and Zak’s age) Um I don’t know what you mean I may have diamond powers an all but I was just told it was a blessing from the gods, so I don’t think I’m your son Zak told the lady Zak told the lady. The lady goes on and how her son went missing and what he looked like what his future would be like etc. The more and more she talked the more Zak got confused of what was going on. Finally, Hannah got into the conversation and handled it but the lady was the one of the queens so Hannah couldn’t talk back. Because the lady that was talking was the diamond queen and Hannah was scared that the lady was going to tell her mother about the attitude, but sept Hannah was possibly her future daughter in law she wouldn’t tell. Should I trust her Hannah mean she does give a good description of how I was when I was younger, Zak asked. Hannah thought for a moment and agreed. Yes, Zak you should go meet your tribe and we can see each other again soon Hannah replied. And off Zak went with the diamond queen he was obviously worried that he may be making a big mistake but how bad could it be. So uh if you really are my mother then where's my father Zak asked the lady. I’m taking you to him but say what your life was like while you're growing up in the human world the lady asked. Zak knew he had no choice but to explain so he talked about his childhood all the way to where he is now. Some of the parts he felt bad for him because some of the moments sounded very dramatic. But finally, they arrived at their area and Zak was nervous He was not going to believe that he was a prince an less he was told by the king because he was warned some queens like to lie. Hello my dear your back and who is this you brought with you the king asked in curiosity. This might be your son remember our son who got kidnapped 23 years ago the diamond queen said. (aka the lady from earlier) The king was surprised that he was seeing his son again he have missed out on 23 years of life Zak’s life. The diamond kingdom bowed down and the king told all the kingdoms and towns folks about that he was found and back. Zak was so pressured and confused because he really he didn’t want to be a prince or king he wanted to go back home. But he was told that he was now trapped back there. Because that’s where he was born and that’s where he would live for now on. He ran back to the town because he was feeling way to much things at once and it was scaring him and he felt like he was going to have a panic attack. He ran and looked for Hannah because he needed help on getting out of the situation. A few moments later he eventually found Hannah and decided to ask or even beg on how to get out of the place. But Hannah told him that her and her friends have wanted to leave for years but they have no luck. So it was useless plus there parents were going to force them to get married in a few days. Then that’s when Zak really started to panic. Yes he liked Hannah but he wasn’t ready to get married to her. That made the situation even worst. But Hannah told that there still a way that they can both escape without getting caught but they will have to bring there friends with them. Zak was desperate so agreed to those terms. So Hannah gathered up all the rest of her friend made them meet Zak and they got to traveling together. Now some of them did not get along but they had to get through it an order to leave. But Hannah and Zak also did have some love dove moment’s. Which Hannah’s sister’s and her other friends but to be honest they didn’t seem to care. DUDE HOW FAR IS THIS BORDER YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT Tommy complained. (Tommy is one of there friends) WOULD YOU SHUT UP MY GOSH Zak told him. All of them really stayed silent because there was a new member but finally Zak had no choice but to open up to them. Told about himself because if they were going to be friends then they at leat needed to know a little bit about him. So he explains but they didn’t care as long as if he’s not a complete jerk then they don’t care. (A few days later) Alright guys we have been riding for a few days but I think today is day we might make it by sunset if we leave now Hannah told them. You have been saying that this entire time Caroline pointed out. (Caroline is one of Hannah’s sister’s) Oh whatever I can feel it Hannah told Caroline. Well you definitely felt something lat night Wilbur chooses to point out. Let’s just say Hannah and Zak were dead silent after Wilbur said that. The rest of the friends talked while Hannah and Zak still were completely embarrassed after what happened. (ANYWAYS I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A SQURILL MOMENT PLS DON’T CENSOR THAT PART) Hey what’s that shiny thing up ahead Niki asked. (Niki is also one of Hannah’s sister’s) Oh that’s it that’s the border we are finally going to get out of this place Hannah said. As they all ran to the exit they all stopped. And Zak realized that they were nervous because they have never been to the human world. Hey guys it’s alright I can help you get through it there are so many opportunities on the other side Zak pointed out. They all believed him and they all walked through together. Now yes it was just the very hollow forest that Zak was in but Zak showed the way out. Showed them the all through out the city and explained everything through out the year and they got the hang of it to the point where they got to start there own career paths. Hannah and Zak well they got to have a happily ever after. But also during the year Zak was helping them get used to the human world Zak and Hannah brought a little one into the world which wasn’t surprising to the other’s and Caroline wasn’t to happy about it but she had to accept it. They did miss there old home time to time but they found life in the human world a lot easier than the god and goddess universe. But they all lived at peace and didn’t have to deal with royalty life ever again.
