It was supposed to be one last trip before everything changed.

Four friends. Graduation week. A hidden lake miles off the map.

Ravelin Lake was meant to be quiet. No service, no crowds, no rules. Just water and stars.

But the woods are too still. The fire won't stay lit. The air grows colder by the hour in the heat of summer. And the lake... keeps moving closer. 

And the water-
it doesn't just wait.

It moves. It hunts.
And once it finds you, there's no escaping the current.All Rights Reserved

The Things You Will Never Know by httpthatrandomgirl

If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner... Let's see who makes it to November 1st.

But when Riley, Zeke, Harper, Mason, Ivy, and Drew hear a scream in the darkness, their lives are changed forever. One of them won't make it out. The others will be forced to bury the truth. Now, a year later, guilt haunts their every step. The woods are silent, but their secrets aren't. And the past never stays buried for long. When someone starts digging into what really happened that night, how far will they go to protect the lie? A gripping YA thriller about trauma, guilt, and the monsters we become when the truth is too dangerous to face.

One by one by WorthyReading

It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.

Eye by baileewitt9

Spring break was supposed to be simple. A group of friends. A remote lake cabin. No parents. No rules. Just sun, water, and wild nights. But the longer they stay, the more things start to feel wrong. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Whispers echo through the woods. And one by one, they start to disappear. Like someone's crossing names off a list. Now, the question isn't who will make it out alive... It's whether any of them were ever really friends to begin with. Warning: This story contains substance use, mental health struggles, and intense scenes of gore.

Stillness isn't empty by Airface

On a seemingly ordinary school trip, a group of high school students is thrust into a series of inexplicable and eerie events that force them to confront death... Unless of course, they can work together to defy their fate. *** Ciel point of view*** I agreed to go on a two days long school trip and then come back home. It was supposed to ease off my mind, reduce my stress and improve my mood and wellbeing. But this school trip was different. The forest had been watching over us and scheming our demise. Soon, we were trapped inside of it, like bugs caught in a giant spider web with no other fate than to wait for our death. Or so, it seemed.

Mark of the Wolf (mxm) by Forever_Be_Loved

Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Beneath The Red Sky by TheMouringPresss

The forest was supposed to be a peaceful getaway. But when the sky turned red, the birds stopped singing, and their family started tearing itself apart... Eli and her sister realized the woods weren't woods at all. They were a cage. Now hunted by the very people who put them there, the girls must uncover the truth about the experiment they were trapped in-and decide if they'll ever be able to go back to the world above. Because some survive. And some... are chosen.
