David stop walking with Hope looking back to see him and noticing that she couldn't stop before the landscape started to melt into a haunted forest like location.

Beware the voices of the shadows of death for they speak with no color.said David's voice.

Hope looked back to see David was gone before looking at a tree because a strange owl add gotten her attention.

Beware the voices of the shadows of death for they speak with no color. I wonder what that could mean.said Hope.

She began to walk deeper into the forest where she started hearing whispers which got louder and louder passing someone mumbling to them self before it turned to show empty sockets where it's eyes should be leaking a black liquid before she ran off.

...

Hope was resting under a dead tree before hearing her name from a voice that sounded familiar to her.

That voice.said Hope.

She turned to see a lady standing over the distance.

Mom.said Hope

Yes sweetheart it's me.

Hope was scared and worried about her.

Don't worry sweetheart, I won't hurt you.

I came to see my daughter is there anything wrong with that.

But how.asked Hope

That doesn't matter just come to mommy.

What about dad.asked Hope

Your father will join us soon, now come to me, dear.

She hesitated before taking one step then another before slowly walking towards her.

That's it honey.

Hope stoping in her tracks after remembering what David said.

Be where the shadows of death for they speak with no color.said Hope.

Mommy waiting.

No.said Hope

What.

No you're not my mother, you look and sound like her but you're not her, are you.asked Hope.

What are you saying dear.

Enough of your lies leave me alone.said Hope

The face of her mother began to melt with the eyes turning pitch black with her jaw extending and skin turning pale before launching at her with Hope running from her before hiding behind a tree.

Come out mommy love you. The voice had changed to an unworldly tone.

The figure fazed through the tree making her fall to the ground with it getting closer to her, she looked in horror at the thing that took her mother's face.

The thing got closer before letting out a scream then turned to dust revealing Hope holding the knife before dropping it panting.

...

Hope arrived at a tree with writing carved into it before.

"If you made it this far I say congratulations for I almost forgot myself, but this is just the beginning for this forest feed of memories."

She pasted the tree leaving the forest seeing David waiting.

Both shared a moment of silence before she hugged him crying.

Hope was sitting on a log with her head before David approach her.

He handed her a pink jacket.
