Chapter 1: What's happening

The last thing David remebers was stumbling into the back ally of his favorite pub to take a piss. He woke up in a dimly lit forest. He got up and dusted off the dirt on his jeans. 'I must have blacked out' he thought to himself. Looking around he notice little things that seemed off. There was no stars in the sky just a full moon above him. What was weirder was the trees looked identical to each other.

He began to walk forward not knowing where he was going. After walking for a few minutes he noticed a dim light peeking through the trees. As he approached he could smell burning wood. 'Campers! Maybe they can help me out' David thought as a small smile spread across his face. Picking up his pace.

As he reached the campfire he heard laughing and talking of people his smile grew larger. He reached where the trees stopped and a clearing ahead of him. A fire stood in the middle and around the fire sitting on logs where people talking and laughing. He approached slowly trying not to startle them.

"Hey could someone possibly help me, I got drunk and must of blacked out." David said smiling putting his hands in his pocket. The people fell silent and looked to the young british man in front of them. He noticed some people around the fire looked shocked while others gave him a almost sad look. A man with a thin body and thick glasses got up and approached David.

"Hey my name is Dwight, what's your name?" The man called Dwight asked reaching a hand out. David grabbed the hand and shook it giving the man a smile.

"Name is David, I was hoping someone had a cellphone or could point me in the right direction to get out of here." David said happy to see the campers.

Dwight looked down and slumped a bit. David noticed this and a bit of anxiety settled in his stomach. A dark skinned woman from the fire made her way over and out a comforting hand on Dwight's shoulder.

"My name is Claudette." She started looking at David with a slightly sad expression. " Would you like to sit down and we could explain what's happening. David didn't like the sound of this but simply nodded in reply and followed the two to the fire. He sat first as the woman and man sat next to him on the log. David shifted a bit starting to feel uncomfortable.

"So are you guys all friends?" Davide stated to try and start a conversation. He looked around the fire all the faces glued on him. He looked to Dwight and Claudette next to him. Claudette laid a soft hand on David's knee in a comforting gesture. Dwight coughed and began.

"No, no we never knew each other before we came here." Dwight said with a shaky voice. Not looking to David. David raised a eyebrow at this statement.

Claudette looked to David seeming to be as anxious as him. Dwight looked up and started again.

"Uh to put it simply, uh David you wont be able to get home." Dwight trailed off seeming to try and pick his words carefully. David began to feel his anger rise in his body. He clenched his fists in confusion. "None of us can. We were brought here by something." Dwight finished looking back at the ground shaking with anxiety.

"David I'm so sorry" Claudette said in a sad shaken tone. She squeezed David's knee harder trying to comfort him in a way.

David stood up angrier than hes ever been.

"If you guys didn't want to help me that's fine but dont go lying to me!" David yelled looking at the two. Dwight and Claudette looked down knowing he was going to react this way. "Fuck this I'll find my own way out of this bloody forest. Fuck you twats." David stated with a angry look in his eye. He began to huff and walk from the fire. He felt the warht of the fire leave him as he stomped back into the dark thick forest ahead.

"David please come ba-" dwight started but he was already gone.

"He will be back don't worry." Claudette said as she watched him disappear.

David has been walking for what felt like hours. He began to feel tired. He looked ahead and saw a small glow of light. Hope filled his chest and he began to speed up. 'Fuck those twats back there' he thought to himself. A smirk ran across his face.

"Welcome back." A red headed woman at the fire stated not looked up from the fire. David looked around the fire and saw all the familiar faces. His own grew pale. His heart sank to his stomach. Something felt very wrong. He looked to Dwight and Claudette they both had a small smile. He froze in place. He knew he was walking in a straight line so how did he wind back here.

"What the fuck?" David whispered to himself. His heart began to beat faster.

"Dav-" Dwight began but it was to late David began running back. He had to get out. Running as fast and he could away from the fire. His anxiety began to pound at his head.

As he ran he saw the familiar faint glow of fire. His heart sank again. 'This can't be happening' David thought. He ran faster to the glowing light ahead of him. He saw the familiar faces again and dropped to his knees. His heart pounding faster.

"Are you okay?" Dwight said getting up and putting a hand on the large man in front of him.

"Of fucking course not." David snarled looking at Dwight with rage in his eye. Dwight got the message loud and clear. He walked back to the fire leaving David to collect his thoughts.

Before Dwight could sit down a thick mist started to surround him. He quickly looked around seeing two others around the fire has the mist surrounding them as well.

"What the fuck is happening!" David screamed as mist surrounded him. Dwight turned to the man with fear in his eyes.

"Shit. David whatever you do don't get caught!" Dwight yelled to the man looking him in the eyes as the mist blocked him from seeing anything but darkness.
