The Woods

The Faint Voice

"Mackenzie, help us."

That's what we heard for a while, over and over again. I looked into the distance and saw a whole group of white figures. Jake stared in awe and pointed.
"W-what are those?"
I replied, "Spirits, a whole group of them." Jake said nothing until one of the spirits came closer and closer to us. He screamed "RUN!" Then the spirit chased after him, with all the other spirits following. I started to run after them too, with Jake's pet squirrel and my pet fish creature. "STOP!" I screamed.
Jake and all the spirits stoped running and looked straight at me.
"DONT MOVE!" I took out my hammer and held it out in both hands in a threatening way. Silence filled the air. With Jake's heavy breathing, I couldn't tell if he was out of breath, or if he was scared because I had the hammer pointed straight at him. I put the hammer on the forest floor and approached one of the spirits that looked fairly familiar. I put my hand up to it, shaking with fear. It put it's white, foggy hand up to mine. "Mackenzie."
I stood there for a minute not responding, then Jake put his hand on my shoulder. I brang my hand down to my side and the spirit did the same, just like a reflection in a mirror. Jake took his hand off my shoulder and backed away behind me. The spirit then said my name again.
"H-how do you know my name?" I stuttered in fear.
"You have not met me before and never will."
Then the white, foggy spirit turned to dust and blew away in the wind. A couple seconds later, all the other spirits did the same. I looked at Jake and then smiled. "See I can also talk to spirits." then we started laughing. The laughter then stopped very quickly, like someone turning a lights witch off. Except it was us that stopped our selfs and the thing that made us stop was right in front of us. The 10 foot man with the red tie and slick black suit. We panicked and started to run. We both looked back and saw him running after us, then "THUMP". The last thing I saw was the forest floor, Jake beside me looking at me, and darkness. Then, I blacked out.
