"December 21" Chelsea said while looking at the ceiling of her room "It has been 5 days since we last saw the men and the hooded guy, and it has been 2 days since i last saw Charles" She rolled to her side and closed her eyes.
After she took a nap she thought of going back to the abandoned town but she's not sure if her mom would let her, She stood up and went downstairs,
"Mom, can i go somewhere?" She was putting on her shoes but after she puts them on her mom hasn't replied to her yet "Mom?" She went to the kitchen and her mom was there, she was not in a good mood her face was stern "Mom can i go-" "No" her mom said coldly "Why- i'll be back at 5 don't worry" She went to her mom and held her hand, her mom was still in a bad mood "I said no, you're going back to that place am i right? to the town where no one lives?" She was shocked but still has her normal face on "Y-yeah" Her mom was never this cold to her, this was the first time she sounded so angry at her "Didn't you know? 5 men was found dead inside that town last night, an old lady found them while feeding some stray cats, They didn't have any wounds they're just there lying on the ground dead, so tell me should i let you go there anymore?" She was terrified, because her mom was genuinely angry AND the 5 old guys were found dead, she let go of her mom's hand and slowly went upstairs "Chelsea, don't ever think i would let you go there anymore" That was the last thing she heard from her mom before she shut her bedroom door behind her, She lay down her bed totally at shock, "I went at the willows yesterday..and and Charles wasn't there- what if he's also dea-" She slapped herself and took a deep breath "No no, i'm sure he isn't dead, his body wasn't found anywhere only the bodies of the old guys" She sat down and went to her computer, she was going to her messages but her mom turned off the wifi, "Heh" She went to her closet and took out her pocket wifi which she bought last year, she only use this if her mom turns off the wifi "Now let's see..." She began scrolling through her contacts, she and Charles became friends in messenger 3 days ago, She was actually surprised that Charles has social media accounts, not one but 5 "He's not online-" She stopped when the green circle beside Charles profile lit up "NEVERMIND" She immediately messaged him asking if he's okay:
:Hey hey, how are you?
Choorles: Oh, I'm fine hbu?"
:Fine ig, i was worried
Choorles: About what?
:You lmao, i haven't seen you for 2 days and did you hear the news?
Choorles: *insert crying emoji* Chel is worried about meeeee am i this special?
: *insert like emoji*
Choorles: just kidding, and of course i heard the news
:You still going to the willows?
Choorles: Of course lmao
:The hooded guy literally lives beside the willows aren't you scared? what if you get killed too?
Choorles: Omg you're so worried, of course i'm scared but that place is my home too so
:yeah
Chelsea stopped replying for a bit, why is he so attached to the place, yes the place is very peaceful and i want to go there again but what if the hooded guy sees us, sees me or Charles, he wouldn't hesitate to kill us too- she stopped thinking about the things, "The hooded guy didn't hurt the men though..he just talked.." She sat up and began thinking if the hooded guy is the murderer "Well even if it didn't physical hurt them, there is still a way to kill someone, by curse" She nodded, she was sure the hooded guy is the murderer "He had a book, he was hooded obviously hiding his identity and is living alone in the woods, even if he wasn't alone i bet they're a family of witches" She grabbed her phone and started typing again
