Cycle of The World's Abuse.

Chapter 2 [The investigation]

It was kinda like Marble Hornets but much different. We entered the woods without a second thought but I thought very ahead. Ross was..acting strange lately, but I got that off of my back. We listened to the howls of the wind and the cracks of the leaves, as I looked at the trees they were weirdly shaped, I noticed that. As I turned to Ross, he wasn't there. I panicked and looked around if he was anywhere to be seen, then fog surrounded me, I couldn't see anything after that I heard a male scream. "ROSS!" I shouted, then I took out my camera and recorded, and ran after the screech of a wounded man.

After that I saw mud trails, foot trails, they were human that's for sure. I followed the tracks to see Ross sitting down beside a tree. I ran up to him and bent down, I saw his wound and it looked like a stab wound. I took out my bandages and wrapped it around him. He turned to my and spoke weakly "Kathy, please...continue the investigation.." I looked at him with worry and spoke, "No, Ross! Please! Don't die on me!!" He lifted his hand and caressed my left cheek, after that, his hand fell down and he shut his eyes. I was about to burst into tears but suddenly I heard a twig snap. I spun around to see a man with a mask, and a dark yellow jacket. I widened my eyes and stood up, backing away. He looked at me with curiosity but never spoke. I blinked to see him properly but, he mysteriously disappeared. I looked at my camera and checked if anything's wrong with it. All I've seen is just static. I started to wonder who texted me in the evening. I turned back to look at Ross but he mysteriously disappeared as well. I felt sins crawling down on my spine. I took out my torch and flipped it on, I looked around and walked randomly in circles.

This is getting ridiculous I thought grumpily. But then saw a dark figure in the fog, it was about to fade away but I followed it, leading to a lake, a fresh lake. I looked around to find the figure, but it was gone. I walked towards the lake and looked at it, the reflection staring at me back. But then, my reflection morphed into a blonde elf, looked like a faker of Link from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask but the eyes were...inverted coloured. The iris was red, glowing red and the cornea was all black, the reflection bled out blood and smiled at me. I screamed and backed away from the lake. I stood up and whimpered, thinking if would come out. After 5 minutes of just standing doing absolutely nothing, I ran off without a thought and was lost..again. Why does this happen to me? I thought full of fear. I dropped my camera, forgetting about it and sprinted at full speed, I continued to look forward but then I tripped my a tree root and fell, rolling down. I couldn't stop myself from rolling until I grabbed a tree branch to stop it. I looked behind me and saw a huge hole. Holy shit! If I didn't grab this tree branch then I would've fallen down! I thought for a moment until I heard cracking from the branch, I lifted myself up and the tree branch snapped, falling into the giant hole. I didn't hear a thud, after that I got up and walked away from the hole, hopefully never seeing it again.

After that incident where my friend died and mysteriously disappeared without a trace and me almost falling into the giant hole, I started to finally realise my camera was missing. I panicked and thought of what would've happened to it. What if it fell into the hole without me realising it! Did I drop the camera into the lake after I screamed?! I started to feel cold. I didn't bring a jumper with me because I checked the temperature and it was -20*C. I shivered and looked around for warm shelter. I saw a mansion and I thought Who would even live in these woods? I walked towards the mansion and saw the lights switched off, I felt that someone lived there. I went to the front door and knocked it. No reply. I went to look at the window, and just saw a luxury room or, the Dining Room or Living room, but it was all together. I saw nothing but some furniture I turned around and left, but I stopped moving. I saw a figure coming close to me. It was a male wearing a mouth-guard, orange goggles and a stripped jumper, with some sneakers. He was holding two hatchets and a axe behind his back. I started to run to the left side of his direction, hopefully not following me, I looked behind me and he wasn't there. I looked in front of me and bumped into him. HOW THE HELL DID HE GET TO ME THAT FAST?!  I looked at him and nervously laughed. "Uh, um." I was struggling to speak. He just stared at me. After that he swung his hatchet to my face but I ducked, rolling off. Then I got up and took out my knives. He smirked at me and finally spoke, "D-Did you get my m-message,Kat?" His voice was so deep but yet, so scary, it sounded like you were in the depths of hell and you heard a fucking hungry pedophilein there screaming in pain. I finally realised who messaged me, this man. Or whoever he is or was. He was the one who texted me to get into this forest.
