It was all of us, All 5 of us. Alone. In the seemingly, unearthly, Sunar Forest. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN8srLM2f3
“Come on Jess don’t be afraid,” Sally said to me as she chugged some more vodka. “Just drink up and everything will be better, come on... We’re sophomores!”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG9egr53mV
I looked up at Sally innocently, and all of her friends: Alicia, Ella, and Megan. This would be my first time drinking. But I needed this. I needed to be popular. So I drank up.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfBD2J1wvT
Time passed slowly and steadily. Mentally my mind was going practically insane, and physically I was just lying out on the ground talking to myself and giggling by the fire. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w6SWa0CMx
“Sally, look at Jess,” Alicia said laughing her butt off drunk.
“Jess, Alicia, Ella, Megan,” Sally said looking down swaying her arms. “Let’s go to the forest’s abandoned shack,” Sally looked up at us laughing, mocking us and our straight faces. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuf1TL7YDn
“Sally, maybe we shouldn’t...” Ella said. “You know the tale of the shack in Sunar Forest... Whoever goes in doesn’t come out because of the dark demon that haunts it.”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDma4gxUhW
After about ten minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the bloodcurdling shack. Sally went up to the door that seemed too small for anybody to even enter standing at a regular height. She put her hands on it and opened it and an eerie creaking sound disrupted the silence of the cold night.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBqP5d2Q8S
Sally walked in with all of us following. We walked into pure darkness, so we all felt the walls for a switch, but we couldn’t find one. So we all decided to feel the ceiling of the shack to see if there might be a pull switch, everybody went quiet and began scanning.
Finally, after five minutes of quiet, Alicia found a light bulb on the ceiling and pulled the string and a light turned on. Everyone felt reassured until we looked at the far back corner where Megan was laying motionless with her eyes wide. Everyone screamed and shrieked at the horrifying sight of dead Megan. But I noticed her looking straight ahead near the entrance where the door was now closed with the words written in blood, “You’re next,” Sally read out loud.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gMgPVNgv
Sally pulled out her flower hairpin and placed on Megan and kissed her cheek. “Don’t!” Alicia said cringing.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMY3KycqzT
I looked at Megan and said to myself, “You didn’t deserve this.”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro9pWHpo4E
Ella ran to the door and screamed even louder than before. Alicia followed, leaving Sally and I alone with Megan. They both banged at it and scratched at it until their nails bled.
Nothing worked to open the door so everyone started kicking the walls, which didn’t help either. So everyone sat down. Ella started crying and mumbling stuff that didn’t make sense, Alicia started rocking back and forth stammering, Sally was looking at her nails and staring at Megan, and I was just sitting in place staring off into space. After about fifteen minutes of this, there was a knocking sound at the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door. The door opened, but no one was there. Everybody got up and walked towards the door besides Ella. She raced out the door, but to her surprise she got a slit in the neck. There was piano wire that was across the door, now dripping with blood, Ella’s blood to be exact.
“ELLA!” Alicia yelped as Ella collapsed to the ground.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlfqLFnhBu
Alicia ran to her and put Ella in her arms and started crying. She began to murmur quietly but it became much louder then she howled, “IT’S YOUR FAULT JESS, ALL YOUR FAULT. WE ONLY CAME HERE TO HELP MAKE YOU POPULAR, AND NOW THEIR DEAD.”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeonpu658MP
“Alicia, calm down. We just need to find a way to leave without dying,” Sally said. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjMk0qbzsp
“Look,” I said pointing to the oak tree ten feet away that said in a dark red, crimson coloured, blood that said, “You’re next.”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty88gYMymr
“OH GOD, WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!” Alicia wailed as she let Ella go. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GZyshWgqS
“Let’s cover her up,” Sally said taking off her coat.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7qEi6hx0
Alicia took Sally’s coat and placed it on top of Ella’s head and finally stood up. Alicia was slightly tipsy but she managed to walk straight. Sally and I helped her back to the fire.
Our walk was terrifying, mostly because we were drunk and paranoid. Alicia even thought she saw the moon flying away. Luckily we handled getting back safely.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB79ax6k0V
Once we got back the fire was practically out, so I grabbed some leaves and put them on the fire and it started back up. We warmed up by it and huddled in two blankets for a few minutes when Sally finally broke the silence. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpLWcuXBYE
“Alright, we have to decamp, Alicia and Jess,” she said in a quiet tone. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYza0P3gYA
“Alright,” Alicia and I said.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK3tzLio9v
We lifted ourselves up and I gave my blanket to Sally seeing as she didn’t have a coat anymore. She thanked me and we began walking to the path that lead us to the Gregg Center and road, there was usually a few people that slept there so we had high hopes we would be safe.
Alicia was in front of Sally and I with a blanket as she murmured something under her breath. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjFyU1Z3vc
“Jess, you know this isn’t your fault right?” Sally said looking at me with content, welcoming face. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbherdBHJu
“I guess, but why did this happen to us?” I said looking back at her with my eyes hanging low. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuFuZuD3YO
“I’m not sure Jess, I’m not sure...”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHuXObyj8o
When we turned back to looking ahead Alicia was gone. She pretty much disappeared into thin air. We didn’t know what to think until we heard a loud, panicky scream from a little’s way into the forest, obviously off the path. Sally started running towards the screaming and I followed a little confused. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdALx039QW
“We can’t let anyone else die, we just can’t Jess, everyone will think we did something to them,” Sally gasped to me in an anxious voice, all I did was nod and continue running as the screaming continued.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Dl6Qpwcx
Once we finally got to where we heard the screaming there was a body laying on the ground. “No, no, no, this isn’t happening!” Sally said.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lp1IPhWB
I turned the body over, and to our surprise it wasn’t Alicia. It was a man with a mask; the mask was of a man that looked so oddly realistic; the mask of a man that we knew was going to be our downfall. We focused on the face until it turned suddenly and looked at us then up in the trees. So me and Sally looked up and saw Alicia hanging. And on a nearby tree it said, “You’re next,” and then Sally whispered in my ear, “Run.”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38zjwqOIXE
We ran so briskly and quickly back onto the path; we ran hyperventilating and trying not to pass out from fear and being distressed. Once we finally got onto the path we got faster because of a sign that said, “GREGG CENTER 2 MILES”.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9mxOZeQsu
After running for a few minutes we finally arrived at the Gregg Center. We saw three cars in the parking lot and we ran up to the Gregg Center and banged on the doors. We were hitting it so hard and when we saw the man with a mask on the path we hit it harder and Sally picked up a planter and hit the door and it shattered. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUb5kleIFr
We hopped into the building and ran to the area where the people sleep and once we got there we saw three people laying against the wall with one of their faces missing. Right above them the words said, “You’re next”.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUIgf7HJXB
Sally and I turned around to see the man with the mask, holding an axe in one hand and in his pocket there was a gun. “You better not get close to us, you son of a bitch” Sally said but the man stopped her when he began running at us.
Sally took out a knife in her pocket and I wondered how long she had that for, and stabbed him right in the thigh. He grunted as he dropped the axe and fell to the ground.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwgXC0v0P
We ran to the office where the phone was and Sally dialled 911. “Sunar County 911, where is your emergency?”773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudaFpfT6wN
“The Sunar Fore....,” Sally said as the line got cut.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKCdhV0LVW
The man with the mask was holding up the knife and axe that both had blood on them with the phone line on the ground cut in half. He tilted his head to the side and blood dripped from his human mask. Sally and I ran and went into the room nearest to us which was the supply room that had things ranging from pool toys to fencing swords.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddoWV1BDjl
We hid behind a weight set and looked at the door. It opened and the man strolled in, looking around for us. Sally and I held our breaths hoping the cops could get here and at least know we were here and save us, but the nearest police station was at least ten miles away, so we had to survive for another fifteen minutes or so.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphDA9yCCeN
We looked at each other in despair and when we looked back up at the door he was gone. Sally looked at me and I looked back at her and then she yelled, “Jess!” pointing behind me.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdiLlwppF
773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1tQXzZc5
That was when I felt a sharp object go into the back of my shoulder. I cringed and screamed and clutched my back shoulder. Sally got up and took the knife out of my back and stabbed the man right back on the top of his right shoulder. I screamed even louder because the pain was more excruciating than I’ve ever felt before.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5mdvSwR78
This time though it did not affect the man as much as before and instead of falling he grabbed his gun out of his pocket and shot Sally right in her rib cage. She crumbled onto the ground and started grunting and holding onto where the bullet punctured her.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtLY9EGmmj
The man grabbed me by both of my arms and dragged me to the office and put me into the chair and grabbed his axe off the ground and lifted it up to me.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPSMVTjbax
I was half passed out from losing blood and being tipsy so I closed my eyes and accepted that I was going to die. That was when Sally staggered into the man, toppled him over and tried choking him however he was too strong, he pushed her off of him and swiftly sliced her with his axe right in the stomach. He got back up and looked back at me and broke out into chuckle. He put his hand into her stomach and wrote the words on the wall in front of me saying, “You’re next”.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQS21gYCBB
Once he was done he lifted his axe and swiped at me, then everything went black.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7JnTf8jsy
And guess what? You’re next.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9lBGej2wl
