I ran. That's all I could do. I hadn't found the first note, yet they were after me. The demons. I had been trying to record everything, but my iPhone just showed static and made a horrible noise.

Even though it was a cloudy night, the moon and some stars cast light on a huge oak ahead of me. Pinned to the tree was a white piece of paper. In large letters, it said:

CANT RUN

X

I tried to stay calm, and snatched the paper, carefully folding it and putting it in my pocket.

Snap.

I turned, ready to run. I didn't see anything. Did they make a noise?

Run. I needed to run. And fast. A path on my right seemed the easiest choice, so I followed it. I kept thinking I heard them following me. After agonizing minutes, I reached a large boulder. A second note. This one should a stick man and pine trees. I didn't look at the note long before placing it in my pocket, but I saw the stockman had no face.

I needed to find the other notes before they caught me. It was crucial to the Ayla.

I followed another path, this time until I found four walls, making and X if I could see it for the sky. A glint of white caught my eye... But not the note in front of me. The white I saw was from a faceless man, eight feet tall whearing a black suit and red tie. He was too my right, and six feet away. While he didnt walk, yet he moved forward. I felt my mind clouding with darkness...

I tried to move forward, grab the note, but I was tired... So tired. I needed sleep. And thats what I got, eternal sleep.

I remember the sensation of being thrown through space and time, landing in a storm of agony. And that was the when I finally fell asleep.
