As we we're taking a night time walk around the forest, all we could see was dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second. Clumps of bushes were barely visible, black trails snaking through the undergrowth. the moon was shining through a lattice of leaves, The patchy sky & stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks. A tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows into the sky.
I could hear the wind slipping through the leaves as we walked by them, we were cracking undergrowth with each step trying to find any indications or signals. We could also hear snapping twigs as if someone was near.
Some of us could smell a slight scent of fresh flowers and the rich earth.
I could feel the dryness in my throat since we didn't have time to keep hydrated with some water, there was also a cold metallic tang since stones we're present.
We decided to follow the trails of the unknown footprints right in front of us, even though we thought it would help us get further into this case. I still had this frightful feeling inside of me and i knew that someone could be watching us or following our every move.
We were all suspicious about Jake ever since he let out details that might help us find our dearest friend, but we knew he wasn't trustworthy. Even though Igor didn't listen to every word we said this morning, i felt like he was starting to realise the reality and what might have happened.
A few minutes passed by and I could tell we we're all tired.We removed our backpacks off of our shoulders and gently placed it on to the muddy floor,drank some water to become hydrated and ate some granola bars for some energy. We knew there was no point in us giving up because Nina did everything for us and i know that she's still alive, She made a huge impact in our lives.
After gaining some energy back, I've noticed fiery eyes popping out through the bush, i didn't say anything because i thought it was normal and that it was just a wild animal lurking about.
I continued eating more granola bar's since I get weak easily,but after a while I started hearing 'Whooshing sounds' and feeling a cold breeze among us.
I heard growling sounds as if it was closer to us.I don't think the others heard it but since feeling and hearing the noises that we're unusual and unheard of before, it didn't seem like a wild animal at all.
I began to shout 'Guys let's go! it's dangerous out here.I think someone might be watching us.'
I quickly stuffed my water bottle inside my backpack and gently swung it across my shoulder to grip onto,as we were about to run for our lives.
'RAgHUhAha' the creature cried.
As I looked back to see what we we're running from, It was this scary looking creature running behind us.It looked like a demogorgan but scarier, I couldn't help but look again as i was gasping for air and breathing heavily.
The monster was faster than I thought it would be, After seeing what it looked like it made me shrivel with fear.It had a head shaped as a demogorgans ,It was full of bones and had fiery red and yellow eyes with a tint of green in them. It's claws we're sharp and if it we're to poke you , it would go deeper into ur skin.
I've never seen anything like this before and i knew that it would probably go after us again.It was Frightening and my concern was, Is that what took Nina and could the footprints be the Monsters?.
As we we're still running ,I lost balance and tripped on a dead fall. After this accident i ended up hitting my head pretty badly for it to cause a blurry vision. The blurred vision looked like a whole tape of Nina's life and how happy she was about living life with her closest friends.
It made me extremely happy to see those positive thoughts about her instead of the negative ones.
As my mind was focusing on that,I heard muffling sounds and blurred figure Infront of me.I couldn't hear the voices because I had a pretty bad fall but i knew it was my friend's.
A while has passed ,my vision was slowly coming back but it still wasn't perfect.
I heard this voice and i knew it was Liv's.
'Hey are you ok?, you had a pretty bad accident.'
I replied back with a smile on my face 'i saw her.I saw Nina'
My friends looked confused as if they couldn't understand me clearly but I knew I saw her ,in my vision of course.
'But Mila, she's not here.'
I replied back with determination 'i saw her and I'm certain'
As my vision started to clear up ,my friends looked soulless as if they've seen a dead body. I started questioning them as i was still laying flat on the pile of leaves.
'You guys don't seem ok ,is everything ok?'.
I could hear Valentin approaching me with extreme silence.
'Val?' I asked once again.
'I found something else ,It was Blood trails ' He replied with despair
What?! blood?! h-how where?
'A pile of leaves were covered with blood trails and there was a note too' Val replied
What did it say ? i started to tremble with fear as i knew something was wrong and that we might be closer than we thought.
'Ready or not here i come,If you want your friend back you'll have to do as i ask.Meet me behind the cafe tomorrow after school .'
We should probably go ,it's not safe out here after what we saw .
'I agree but what about tomorrow,what are we going to do.' Adrien asks
'I think we should go ,we're getting closer and don't forget that we're doing this to get Nina back.I mean who knows maybe they'll end up telling us the frightful truth.' Valentin says independently
Ok guys enough talking let's get out of here,it's giving me the creeps.
Olivia helps me up gently as we we're about to leave.Even though it was risky and we saw something creepy,i'm glad we found more clues .
Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow and that we'll know the truth and where she is.
