Four girls went into the woods
Only three came back
Ivy disappeared without a sound
Just her red hoodie
Just silence
Everyone says she ran away
But Lena knows better
She can still hear her voice.
See her in the mirrors.
Smell her perfume on my pillow
Ivy never left
And now someone's making them pay
One by one
They buried the truth that night
But secrets don't stay dead

Whispering Woods
In the secluded village of Fernhaven, a foreboding forest looms at the edge of town. The villagers whisper of an ancient curse, claiming the trees have voices that call out to the young, luring them into the darkness. For years, the stories have remained legends-until children start disappearing. When her younger brother vanishes without a trace, 16-year-old Ivy Marlow refuses to believe he's lost forever. Armed with her courage and her brother's favorite charm, she ventures into the cursed woods. What she finds defies all logic-a hidden realm of twisted, sentient trees and ethereal creatures, where time flows unnaturally and the whispers grow louder. Ivy discovers that the forest is ruled by a vengeful spirit, bound by a centuries-old betrayal that has trapped it-and the missing children-within its domain. To save her brother, Ivy must navigate the woods' illusions, solve the riddle of the spirit's curse, and confront her own connection to the forest's dark past. But the deeper Ivy goes, the more she realizes: the woods don't just want her brother. They want her.Complete
