4:00 A.M:

Brian was lost.

He was still in the same spot as before, in the forest, but for some reason his friends weren't next to him anymore. His friends called out for his name, and Brian could hear it, but they couldn't hear his response back to them. After multiple attempts to call out for Brian, the ghost tormented the rest of the group and they were forced to flee, and then the ghost went back to where Brian stood, paralyzed with fear.

Jonas dead. Brian now dead.

Group is now: David and Diane.

They were running as fast as they could north, to where the exit out of the forest should be. That's when Diane disappeared.

"No! No! Where are you?!" David called out.

Too late.

The exit out of the forest was in David's view. Suddenly, David felt tormented by the ghost again, and he could feel its presence. The ghost kept appearing and disappearing around David, and at this point, David was sprinting as fast as he could with tears in his eyes.

David reached the exit, and blinked once.

That's when everything changed.

The moment David opened his eyes again, the forest had no exit. There was just a steep edge of a cliff in front of him.

He turned around.
