"I hope he's got a blanket cause I'm freezing!"Denny says holding his arms close due to the cold night air."me to"buzz agreed making Denny snap his head towards his little brother "forget it! You can freeze"he snapped before facing forward again as the light gets closer"maybe it's a manic killer in a hokey mask who's gonna slash us"buzz says.

"Or maybe you should stay here and let me talk to him uh hey hello who's there. Whoa turn off the bright lights"Denny says walking forward before he and his brother flitch do to the bright light.

The light gets closer as a man with a hat and jacket with pants walks out the fog as he turns off the light "hello what have we here"the strange man says

"I'm buzz and this is Denny "buzz introduced them to the man"we got lost and we can't find the trail back to town"buzz explained.

"Easy road"Denny says pushing his brother back as he crossed his arms looking at the stranger"your not a ranger are you "he says.

The man laughed as he smiles "ranger no not me I'm a traveler same as you"he says before holding the flash light under his face giving him a spooky look"Flynns the name"he says with a laugh before turning the light back on to the kids.

"So what are you doing up here are you lost to"Denny asked.

"Lost me"the man says before shaking his head"oh you might say that though I suppose I couldn't be truly lost I know these woods to well"he says turning around looking off in the distance.

"Are we far from town"buzz asked the man.

"Farther than you know my friends father than you know"the man says making the brothers share a look.

Denny then looks back to the man"so can you help us get back"he asked.

The man smiles turning around "me? "He asked.

"Yeah you I don't see anybody else here"Denny says frustrated.

"You guys look half frozen tell you what "he says walking over as he puts a hand on each of there shoulders"you follow me and I'll lead you to someone who can help you."he says before walking as the two brothers share a look but it's not like they have a choice before following him as the three of them disappear through the fog.

"Why don't you just tell us how to get back"buzz asked the man as they walked.

"To far you'd never find your wan in the dark "the man says as they continue forward.

"So who's this guy you're taking us to"Denny asked as they continue to walk.

"The good doctor he's got a cottage a little ways up here"the man says.

"In the woods what kind of doctor lives in the woods?"Denny asked.

"Patients, boys you'll see by the way--"the man says before stopping suddenly making the two bump into him"how are you guys solving at riddles"he says turning to face them.

The brothers shared confused looks"riddles why"Denny asked.

The man shrugs his shoulders "just asking"before turning around and walking as the brothers share a look before following after him. After walking for a good bit as they walk through the trees the men pointed "there you go boys home of the Good doctor just like I promised you guys thought I was joking didn't you"the man says as they stop.

There in front of them was a cottage made of stone as trees over shadow it as light comes with the window and the wooden door.

"Who lives here the seven dwarves"Denny asked in disbelief at the cottage in front of them.

"There's just one thing guys before you go asking the good doctor for help, you make sure you really need it"the man says Standing behind the Brothers "why"biz asked confused on what he meant.

"Well sometimes the price he charges is a little uh...steep"the man says with a chuckle as it starts to fade."so why don't you just tell us how--"Denny starts off as he turns around before both brothers eyes go wide as the man was gone as they look around"yo Flynn"Denny calls out but you could only hear crickets.

Buzz shakes his head "this is creepy let's bult"he says.

"To where we're lost remember"Denny says reminding him before he steps forward looking at the cottage "your not going in there"buzz asked his older brother.

"What els are we going to do it's freezing maybe he's got a phone"Denny asked annoyed before both of them were walking to the cottage before they jump as twigs snap as a bush was shown raddleing as a haunting sob is heard from it."whats that"buzz says scared.

"Flynn I know it's you he's trying to scare us"Denny says as the haunting sob continues from the bush.

"He's doing a good job"buzz says as fear creeps up inside him before both whirl around as twigs snap behind them as wicked laughter and wailing is heard before soon the brothers run straight to the cottage as they repeatedly knock on the wooden door "open up!"Denny says as the noises get louder before everything goes black as the door slowly opens as the hold there hands up in the air"you boys have made a very grave mistake"a man's voice was heard as they slowly lower their hands.

An elder man with light brown grayish hair was shown with slightly shoulder length hair and a beard with a coat and whit shirt with pants was shown "I don't suppose either of you are any good at riddles"he says with a laugh as the two brothers share a look with one another.
