My name is Luna Burgess and growing up I've always found myself attracted to the woods by my house. Everyday on my way to school I would wonder into the woods and sit in front of the really big, really old Oak tree.
The tree was probably 80 years old you could tell by the way it drooped forward and had I would say hundreds of screaming faces all over the tree.
Growing up I remember hearing rumors about a group of people who lived in these woods and would come out at nightfall and kidnap the townsfolk and thier screaming faces would be carved into the tree so there soul would be entrapped in the tree.
Some even said you could hear the whispers of the dead coming from the tree they were tied to when they died
I was told if you can hear them your next. That they are coming for you and the scariest part is that I've heard them even when I'm not by the woods. I hear them everywhere and now I see people standing outside my house at night waiting and watching and I think tonight's the night I'm gonna disappear forever!!!

She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.Completa

Ending
A town with no history. A girl with no name. An end with no beginning. My oldest memory of this place was blurry. It faded in and out of my dreams and subconscious. The details edges had been rubbed smooth long ago, but the feeling of complete and absolute terror had remained as distinguishable as the day it happened. fifteen or so years back... That fear has always kept me grounded to the forest that isolated me from the rest of the world. It kept me safe from whatever I had to run away from. Tricking me into thinking what was best for my survival, was to stay hidden. But when dangers from the outside seep into the safe haven I had created, all sense of security shatters. Suddenly the safety net is gone, and other people exist again... Some that had definitely thought I was dead. (as of 2/25) Hello! I have been writing this book for like 6 years and some parts may be iffy. I still have to finish and revise the final draft, but it is very close to being done. The plot and story beats will remain the same from here, while details may be subject to change in the final edit. If you enjoy a good mystery (and romance), I would ask you to please consider reading. Thank you so much!)
Back At The Park ✔️
"That day at the park had been strange. I sat their alone with the sense of someone watching me swing on the swingset. My house was right down the street and my parents gave me a small cellphone to call them in case I ever needed. My neighborhood wasnt safe, lots of kids were stolen from this very park and some even killed while being held captive. Police never found the killer and legend has it the ghost of kids killed from this park will follow you home and kill you, making you suffer worse than they themselves did. They believed that If they couldnt be alive, no other kid should be too. Why I decided to go here alone? Reason unknown... Typical Me. Murders and any suspected kidnappings hadnt happened in years but who knew when they were bound to happen again? That was why I was running home. Alone, scared, and soaked in rain water. Even better my parents had left to a nearby market with a note on the door saying they'd be back soon." -JadaWesley copywright 2015Completa
