Evil Obsessions (MYG)

Chapter 2

"Lets go.", he says, breaking my trance.

"Y-Yes.", I reply, lifting the camera.

All through the journey, Hoseok was blabbering about what to do and what not to do. I listened of course, but I'm not some kid who needs to be warned about every little thing.

Finally, after thirty, very long and irritating minutes, we arrived at the spot. Hoseok sprinted out of the car the moment we arrived. To be honest, I didn't have much idea about where we were gonna film. When we arrived, I was pretty impressed. "Finally!" I thought, "I get to visit a haunted location...with the prince of my drea- FOCUS!", I scolded myself. I got down from the car, the camera in my hand. The location was eerie; twisted, leafless trees surrounded the place. There were numerous crows cawing at a distance, while some were perched on the higher branches of the trees. In the center was a well, but it was in a dilapidated state. The mouth seemed to have been sealed off a long time ago, and creepers of all sorts were wrapped around it, barely making the well visible. As we went closer, a strange smell of blood filled my nostrils. But what really creeped me out, was the odd figures that hung from the branches of the trees. I went closer to get a better look. "what are they.....?", I thought. Then, a voice from behind me answered, "Voodoo dolls." I turned around to see Yoongi, staring up at the trees. "I've heard that quite a few years ago, the people of the neighbouring village had performed some kind of ritual to awaken a deadly evil sprit. Few weeks later, all the villagers were found dead. Possibly the work of the evil spirit. Spooky right? Its one of the scariest ghost stories in the country. Some say the spirit still exists, lingering in the dark woods...." Yoongi smirked, " It's been quiet for a while... but I wonder what it's scheming..." "I don't believe in ghost stories.", I said, trying to sound fearless. "The deaths were probably just a major accident." Hearing that, Yoongi grinned. He bent down to my ear and whispered, "Are you sure?. Aren't you...scared?" Before I could reply, Hoseok called out to us, "Yoongi! Y/N! Come over here!" I paused my thoughts and hurriedly went over to Hoseok, Yoongi following me soon after.

"Look at this!", Hoseok exclaimed aghast, pointing at the ground. Curiously, we looked down, and what we saw left us awestruck. "Blood trails,", Yoongi said. "They look fresh, probably done last night." But somehow, he didn't seem as startled as Hoseok and I were.

"But who could have done this?", Hoseok asked.

"I've heard there are elks in this forest. Somebody must have hunted one of those and dragged it away.", I said. "Blood spilt from the wounds, creating these trails."

"But this forest is known to be haunted by the most violent and powerful evil sprit in the country. Could it be....", said Hoseok, a hint of excitement in his voice. He too, found ghost stories interesting, but unlike me he believed in them. He wasn't scared, but got disappointed every time I told him they are not true. He dreams of catching ghosts and sprits. Stupid, who does he think he is? Ghostbuster? (A/N: I love the movie lmao).

"You watch too many movies, Hoseok. Its just another myth.", I said, but deep down, I couldn't help but wonder, are the stories true? Something supernatural exists here? Also, what did Yoongi mean by that? I noticed a smirk on Yoongi's face. What is up with him...?

"Well, who do you think would drag a full grown deer into a dark, dank forest? Anyways, we should start filming. This would be a big hit! Y/N, set the camera. Yoongi, come with me. I have a great feeling about this!", Hoseok squeaked, his voice interrupted my train of thoughts. Soon after Hoseok left, Yoongi turned towards me and gestured towards the forest, as though saying, "Why not see for yourself?". I felt a cold,tingling feeling down my spine. The odd part is, it felt like as if he read my mind....

A normal person would have probably started filming, not caring about the forest or Yoongi, but I'm not like the others. I was curious about where the blood trails lead. And Yoongi's odd reply and gesture just made me want to know more about it. It was clear that he wanted me to go into the forest, or it could just be my over-imaginative, exaggerating brain. My heart wanted to follow the trails into the unknown depths of the spine-chilling woods, but my mind told me to stay with the group. A part of me warned, "Don't go there! it could be dangerous. Forget about Yoongi, he's just playing around!" While the other part said"What's life without a few risks? Come on, don't be such a scaredy cat! The prince of your dreams wants you to go in there, what could possibly go wrong?"After a while of my mind and my heart arguing, I looked around to see Hoseok, Yoongi and Joey occupied in their whatsoever work, so I listened to my heart, kept the camera down, and followed the trails, unsure of what lurks in the shadows of the spooky woods.
