Jake dissapeared after that night and nothing has happened since. I have a really bad feeling.

I went to play at the park with my friend from school. His name is Alex. When he left, I started to head back home, whrn I passed the Jake's house. I saw a big tree with thich branches and there were marks all over it. I will go check it out tomorrow.
