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?
