Whispers

Chapter 3. The Forest

I started to feel sick again, the buzzing in my head came back for a few minutes but went away.

SNAP!

I turned my head, it sounded like someone was behind me. I called out "hello?" But, no one answered. I walked up where I heard the snap, I looked down and it was just a twig snapped in half, but next to it was a locket necklace.

It was all muddy and looked old, I opened it and there was a picture inside. It was a little ripped but as I looked at the picture I froze...it was her, the one I kept seeing in my head and in my dreams, it was Mika. I felt chills all over my body.

As I was standing there in shock. I heard foot steps behind me, then they started getting louder and faster as if they were running towards me. I started running, my head was pounding and my heart was racing. I just kept running and running, until I was back on the street. I felt myself shaking.

Im gonna walk home now, I need to process everything that's happening. As I got home I sat at my desk, I pulled out the necklace and my phone. My phone was working again surprisingly, but it still had some small cracks on it. I kept staring at the picture from the necklace, is this really Mika? Did she want me to find this?

Suddenly my phone turned on, but when I looked at it I noticed it was opened on my maps app, and had a location marked. What the actual fuck is happening to me right now? I kept the location pinned, it was also in the forest just deeper in. I don't know if I should go back there. I should probably sleep on it, I need to get some sleep.

6am
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!

Great I gotta get up for work, I feel so exhausted from yesterday, it felt like a dream. A really bad trippy dream. I opened my small desk that's right next to my bed to see if the necklace was still there, if everything that happened yesterday was real. I slowly opened up my desk drawer... It was! The necklace was still there!
