*3rd pov*

It's a nice day in Crystal Grove, a small town in the middle of nowhere.

Winter has fully set in as the snow falls gently upon the streets and homes of the town, a slight breeze carrying the whispers of horror and terror across the area.

For weeks now the murders the town has been experiencing has been picking up, whizzing through the town we see the plethora of missing persons posters lining street corners and telephone poles.

Some of them being from just down the road, others being from a few towns over.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Except for one little girl.

Moving through the town and into the forest we zoom into a decrepit and decaying mansion, a girl being seen on the porch of the mansion cutely putting on some white boots before zipping up he rpink puffer coat before only her eyes were visible under her beanie, coat and scarf.

With a cute "Hnph" she sets off towards the town, oblivious to the fact that Jess was tailing her from a short distance away.

Like before we cut back to the town, the girl now being seen talking to everyone she sees on the street asking about the dissapearences, a large map of the surrounding area and even a few other towns in her hands making her look even more tiny.

Before just like that the hours pass Sally dotting down each murder and dissapearence on her map, getting quite sad as she does... Finally night falls making her hurry back to the mansion and to her room.

Peering into the room we see the girl now sitting crossed leged with a carton of apple juice in her hands, a pair of novelty glasses on as she examined the map.

Sally:Hm, where could he be...wait.

Suddenly getting an idea she gets her crafts box out from her corner, placing pins on each location she starts joining them with pink glittery string, Eventually the mass of string converging on one spot quite a while away from Here.

*Somewhere else in the mansion*

Cutting to another room we see slendy in her office, the entire place being neat and orderly, looking like a normal office apart from the large digital whiteboard behind her a similar map to Sally's being displayed on it.

Possible hiding spots being dotted along it.

Slendy:Now where the hell would a scarecrow stay?

Pacing around the office nervously she jots notes down on the board, the thought of never finding that thing again making her stomach fall. What would Sally think? The first sleep she's has in years without any nightmares and she ruined it.

Slendy:No, he's still about i can-

Abruptly getting cut off the door to her office bursts open with Sally running through and up to her desk, excitedly placing her map down on the table her smile widens to her ears.

Sally:I found him!

Surprised the woman peers over to the map, the spot Sally thinks he's in being a good hour maybe two hour walk from their house.

Slendy:I don't think he'll be there.

Sally: but-

Slendy:Sally there's nothing there, it's just miles of forest all around that area.

In a huff Sally crosses her arms.

Sally:I'm gonna go look anyway.

Slendy:Okay okay fine.
