The campfire crackled, casting dancing shadows around the group of friends seated in a loose circle. They were deep in the heart of the woods, miles away from the nearest town, enjoying their last night of summer camp. Beer cans littered the ground, and the smell of roasting marshmallows mingled with the scent of pine. It was the perfect night - or so they thought.
Mark, the joker of the group, stood up and stretched. "Alright, who's up for one last adventure? Let's explore the old cabin at the edge of the forest. I heard it's haunted."
"Haunted my ass," Jake scoffed. "But sure, let's go. Might as well end the summer with a scare."
Elena, feeling a mix of excitement and dread, grabbed a flashlight. The rest of the group hesitated but eventually followed, curiosity outweighing their fear. They trudged through the dense forest, the moonlight barely penetrating the thick canopy above. The deeper they went, the more oppressive the darkness became.
Finally, they reached the cabin. It was a decrepit structure, half-collapsed and overgrown with vines. The windows were shattered, and the door hung loosely on its hinges. Mark pushed it open with a loud creak, and the group stepped inside.
The air inside was cold and musty, filled with the stench of decay. Dust motes floated in the flashlight beams as they scanned the room. Old furniture lay in pieces, and strange symbols were scrawled on the walls in what looked like dried blood.
"Fuck, this place is creepy," Sarah whispered, hugging herself.
"Let's just take a quick look and get out of here," Elena said, her voice trembling.
They moved deeper into the cabin, finding a staircase leading to the basement. Mark, ever the fearless leader, led the way. The steps groaned under their weight, and the air grew colder as they descended.
The basement was even darker than the rest of the cabin. The flashlight beams revealed a crude altar in the center of the room, covered in melted candles and more of those strange symbols. Chains hung from the walls, some of them stained with old blood.
"Shit, this is some fucked up stuff," Jake muttered.
Suddenly, the door at the top of the stairs slammed shut, plunging them into darkness. Panic set in as they fumbled with their flashlights, the beams flickering as if the batteries were dying."Who the fuck did that?" Mark shouted, but no one answered.
A low, guttural growl echoed through the basement, sending chills down their spines. Elena's flashlight flickered and died, plunging them into complete darkness. The growl grew louder, closer.
"Fuck this, we need to get out of here!" Sarah screamed, but before anyone could move, a heavy thud sounded, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
The flashlight beams flickered back on just in time for them to see Mark being dragged into the shadows by something unseen. Blood smeared the floor where he had been standing. They turned to run, but the basement seemed to stretch endlessly, the exit nowhere in sight.
One by one, they were picked off, screams echoing in the darkness. Elena felt a cold hand grasp her ankle, pulling her down. She kicked and screamed, but it was no use. The last thing she saw before the darkness consumed her was a pair of glowing red eyes.
The next morning, the camp counselors found the cabin. Blood stained the walls and floor, and the bodies of the friends lay scattered, mutilated beyond recognition. The only clue to what had happened were the symbols on the walls, now glowing with an eerie red light.
As the counselors backed away in horror, the cabin door slammed shut behind them, sealing the darkness within. The forest fell silent once more, the only sound the whispering of the trees, carrying the souls of the lost.
