I looked at the map once again for like a thousand times in confusion.Am I reading it wrong? But I'm hundred ten percent sure I'm not because this was not my first time reading a map duh.

I am a perfectionist after all.

Or am I having the wrong map? Maybe? I don't know.You tell me.

I heaved a heavy sigh as I rubbed the back of my head,scanning the whole area from the place I'm standing.Thick mists and fog swirled,which limited my view but the silence was killing me.

Well,for what I was seeing.In front of me were trees,behind me were trees too or more precisely everything around me were trees!

"Useless map!" I grunted angrily with gritted teeth and tore the map into shreds.

Yup,that was obviously a stupid action.

Now,how am I going to get out from this trees no...forest! I thought the idea to experience a solo trip would be great but look at me now.I'm lost!

If Adam,my annoying brother knew this,I guaranteed I would be a laughing stock for years! Serve you right,Allen.This was what will happened when you got cocky.Damn it.

I glanced at my silver-coloured watch on my left hand,it was five o'clock and if I couldn't found any nearest town in time.I would be sleeping here,in the middle of nowhere.

Great...

Allen...
Allen...

My eyes quickly fluttered opened once I heard the whispers.This was odd,did someone called out for me?

Numbly,I pulled myself up to stand on shaky legs.After having a minute nap due to hours of walking through this endless forest;really depressed me a lot,as if the mother nature was playing trick on me.

Before I suddenly realised,I could feel that a pair of eyes were staring at me,watching every movements I was doing but I can barely seen as the darkness were consuming the light,replacing it with the pitch black sky.

"Who..Whose there?" I breathed deeply,I could feel anxiety had overcame myself.

Silence.

"Are you the one whose calling out for me?" my voice shaken but like a moth to a flame,I took a step further to the voice as if I had been hypnotized with it."Hello...?"

Again,no answer;but why my stomach was hurting like hell? It felt like something was eating me alive from the inside and out of the blue,I heard a demonic laughter came from behind me and it was close.

I froze.

"How does it feel? To be stab in the back,huh?"

What?

I was trembling in fear as I peered down to my stomach which nearly drawn me a shock to death.My face turned pale-white for what I was witnessing.

A knife was piercing through my very own flesh,my sweater was blood-soaked and I was experiencing emotions which weren't mine.

Anxiety.

Betrayal.

Fear.

I had no clue,I did not even know who was stabbing me.

I felt weak,I could not bear the pain anymore and my vision was blurring before everything turned pitch black.

The windy breeze gently caressed my skin.In a moment my eyelids flickered,then opened slowly.

Where am I?
