Darcy turned her head back and found a middle aged man, wearing brown suit and hat, called her name.
"Yeah?" after Darcy answered the man spread his hand out for a hand shake.
"Mr. Philippe! Your travel agent." Darcy shook hand and kept her phone in her pocket.
"Sorry for being late ma'am. There was some problems with the first so I had to replace it." Darcy nodded.
"Do you need a driver ma'am?" Darcy was thinking about staying here but then she changed her mind and decided to continue her journey.
"No, no.. I'll drive." After this word Mr. Philippe asked for some of Darcy's ID which was needed to complete some formalities. After all Darcy was handed her car key.
"Have a safe journey miss Johnson." And Darcy drove off. She learnt driving just some months ago.
She drove off straight on the highway. The view outside of the car started changing. She left the city Grecdiff behind and drove through some small towns beside the city. She left some more towns and the view changed into greenery. More natural, more trees, more grasslands. After a hour of driving, the view changed into forest. Sun was going down but still there was sunlight. Now she was driving through large pine trees. A stream joined her way.
After another half n hour, she saw a sign board of 'WELCOME TO RAKENWOODS'. Suddenly she remembered that Christina forbade her to cross Rakenwoods after twilight. Sun didn't go down completely so there's still some light. She thought to herself that she can cross Rakenwoods before it gets totally dark. So she continued her ride.
After the sign board she could see that she came far away from human life. It was so silent that she could feel that there's only her car engine sound in that whole forest.
While going a little far, her eyes went straight on a pickup truck stood still on a side of the road. She noticed that a tire of the truck was punctured. Darcy thought to herself that there could be anyone who's waiting for help. So she parked her car beside that truck and got down from her car. She went near the truck and found no one was around.
"Hello!" she called out but got no answer. She noticed some footsteps on the wet soil that was going in the pine forest. At first she was hesitating to get in but then she thought again that if the driver of this car needs any help. Without overthinking, she went in the forest following the footsteps.
No other lights were there beside the light of setting sun that was coming through the gaps of pine leaves. Darcy was getting help to see from that much light. She looked side to side and found no one. She went a little deep in the forest through the uneven path.
Suddenly she heard a voice that was coming from little far in the forest. She decided to follow the it. She hurriedly followed the voice. As she was getting closer she found more voice talking over. She went a little closer.
Suddenly she saw a bunch of people shouting, laughing and talking. She went close and stood in a distance from them and hid herself behind a pine tree.
She found a middle aged man was hanging on his one foot upside down from a pine tree. And two boys were holding a middle aged woman. There were so many boys like more than 10 but one of them looked superior by the way he dressed and he looked quite tall. Looked like maybe he's the boss. He was standing in the middle of them and was speaking in a different language. But the odd thing is, everyone of them is wearing black capes and are so pale except those middle aged man and woman. Darcy saw the woman was crying so loud but those boys were laughing. Darcy thought to herself that it could be a robbery.
Suddenly she noticed that the woman was handed to the boss. The boss said something to the man who was hanging and then to the lady and the man cried out. He was yelling help but no one was there to listen to them except Darcy. She thought for once that she could help them but how? She has nothing to protect herself or them from the group.
Suddenly a yelp of the lady dragged Darcy's mind and eyes to herself. She saw that the boss was assaulting her by kissing her roughly. The man was crying for 'help' helplessly. He ripped that woman's blouse, revealing her brassiere in front of everyone. Looked like the other one was cheering him for doing this kind of thing.
Darcy couldn't take it more and decide to stop them. She found a long and thick pine brunch near her so she took it up. As she was about to come up her eye noticed something which made her trembled from head to toe.
The boss moved his mouth from that woman's to her neck. But suddenly blood started streaming from that place and the woman started shaking. She couldn't yell anymore. She was kind of choking. In a blink he took his mouth up ripping the flesh from the lady's neck. Darcy stopped in her place. That sight brought her heart in her mouth. She couldn't breath for a moment. Her stomach started aching and she felt vomiting so she put both of her hands in front of her mouth.
"Who's there?" Her eyes popped out as someone yelled that. Darcy looked up nervously and found they were looking at another direction. Darcy looked at the other side and found two men were hiding behind the bushes. But after this word both of them started fleeing off the place. Suddenly one of the man stopped and Darcy noticed that a sharp thingy was stuck in his head from behind. It broke through the skull and came out a little from his mouth. This view shook her and she couldn't stand in one place.
"Get him!" the other one ran away and a boy ran after him.
Darcy didn't wait but turned back and ran as fast as she could. She fell down on the uneven ground but again got up and ran. She came to her car and unlocked it. She quickly got in, locked the door, buckled her up with the seat belt and keyed the car. She looked up after starting the engine and found the other one of those two men was limping towards her car. He was injured. His leg was bleeding.
"Help me!"
