"Mabel!" Tes shouted once more.
She broke down in tears, wondering why Mabel suddenly vanished. She walked about frantically with tears flowing, trying to figure out how she could find Mabel.
"Let me search for her, yes maybe I'll find her, wait, no, what if I get lost? Mabel please where are you?!" She thought to herself and cried more.
A cold wind blew once more, there was absolute silence apart from the rustling of the leaves. Tes shivered once more and sat down on the ground. As she noticed the quiet environment she became more scared and worried. Knots got tied in her stomach, she bent her head downwards crying and wishing for Mabel to come back.
The wind blew again but this time it was more fierce. Tes looked up at the sky, it seemed like it was going to rain. The bright sun had suddenly disappeared and dark stormy clouds stood in its place. She could hear little sounds of thunder.
"Aaahhhhh!!!why are all these happening to me?, Why?! I came here to get the answers to my nightmares and all I've gotten so far is a strange banging door! No clues, nothing at all, just from one problem to another, why me!"

"Jake why did you send me here?! I'm tired! I want to go back home!"
Tes screamed the more whilst angrily throwing stones at the river.
She broke down into tears again, letting the tears flow freely. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.
"Mabel"? she asked while slowing raising her head up.
She quickly cleaned her tears with the back of her hands and turned back with a smile but immediately screamed as she saw the human standing in front of her.
Her brother!
He looked scarier in reality, with blood stained tattered cloths and hands.
Some part of his flesh were falling of. He lost an eye, his left eye socket was empty and blood was slowly dripping from it.
Part of his skin had been burnt off leaving only his exposed blood dripping flesh.
Tes screamed once more and stood up immediately.
"Mabel!"she called out in fear as she watched her brother slowly approaching her.
"Please don't kill me Jake please I beg you"Tes begged with tears flowing freely from her eyes.
He stretched forward his right hand to her. Blood was dripping from it. It skin was burnt off, revealing his flesh.
His bloodshot gaze met with her's. Tes immediately started moving backwards as he slowly walked forward towards her.

"Jake please...don't..hurt me..I'm... I'm begging you please" Tes stammered in fear with shivers running down her spine.
Her heart was beating so fast and she immediately started feeling nauseous. The cold fierce breeze blew once more. Everywhere became extremely silent apart from the rustling leaves.

Tes continued walking back as he walked slowly towards her with an evil grin plastered on his face. She suddenly tripped on a stone and fell backwards hitting her elbow on a hard rock.

She winced in pain as she injured her elbow. The rock had a sharp edge which cut into her elbow making it bleed. She looked at her bleeding elbow and faced her brother who was now standing right infront of her. Horror was written all over her face and she suddenly started feeling dizzy.

"Jake please..umm..hear me out ok?" Tes said in tears as she suddenly started gasping for air.
"I came here for you, I came here because I want to please you. That's the only reason I came and since then I haven't even gotten any clue to what you want from me".

He just stared her.
"He isn't attacking me, maybe he wants to tell me something"Tes thought to herself. She sighed and stood up.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at her younger brother.

"Just tell me what you want me to do, I'll do it, please just forgive me, I know I caused your death, please I'm sorry for those harsh things I told you, I'm sorry for telling our parents that you commited suicide, I just couldn't bring myself to tell them about our argument. Jake please forgive me" Tes voiced out her emotions in tears. She cried so hard that she started shivering.

Jake stared at her. The evil grin was no longer on his face. He just stared at her blankly.
"Get to the light"he said finally.
"That door"he added plainly and he then turned back, walking away.

Tes stared in amazement and confusion, "what does that mean Jake?, 'Get to the light, that door?"

But he didn't answer her instead he kept on walking.
"Jake!!!what tf do you mean by that, Jake you can't just tell me those phrases and vanish, Jake I'm in this house because of you, I'm gonna leave, I'm serious!!" She yelled at him.

He then stopped walking and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Tes.
"If you leave this house without doing what I want, I'm going to kill you" he said plainly.
Tes gasped and stared at him in shock.
He turned back and kept on walking till he vanished.

Tes broke down crying again and sat on the ground. She buried her head under her knees and kept on crying as the breeze blew against her.

She felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw it was Mabel.
She immediately stood for joy and hugged Mabel tightly.

"Where were you, do you know who I encountered?My brother! Mabel I'm tired I really don't know what to do, where did you go, why did you leave me? I thought we were friends"

Mabel looked at Tes smiling and cleaned her tears with her hands.
"I went somewhere" she replied.

Tes stared at her in disbelief,
"You went somewhere and left me alone in the woods??the fuck!! Couldn't you tell me?!"

Mabel looked pale and held Tes' hand"you really want to know where I went?"
Tes nodded in affirmation. She was fuming with anger.

Mabel then held her hand and led her deeper into the woods.
"God, we are going deeper into the woods"Tes thought to herself. She didn't like it.

After about 20 minutes, they approached a secluded area. It was fenced around with a small iron gate. They stood outside and Tes looked inside it, it looked like a little private burial ground.

After a brief silence, Mabel finally spoke up "welcome to my grave"
