Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Into the Woods

Later that evening, armed with her camera and flashlight, Mia ventured into Ravenswood Forest as twilight descended upon the town. The trees loomed overhead like ancient sentinels guarding secrets long forgotten. A sense of foreboding settled in her stomach as she walked deeper into the woods.With each step, she felt as though unseen eyes were watching her from within the shadows. The air grew colder, and an eerie silence enveloped her—broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or distant hoot of an owl.Mia paused to take photos of her surroundings when she noticed something glimmering on the ground—a silver locket half-buried in dirt and leaves. She picked it up and opened it to reveal a faded photograph of a young girl smiling brightly. Her heart raced; this must belong to one of the missing persons.Suddenly, a whisper floated through the air—a soft voice calling her name. "Mia… come play…"Startled, Mia spun around but saw no one. The whisper seemed to echo from all directions, sending chills down her spine. She shook her head, trying to dismiss it as a figment of her imagination fueled by fear."Get it together," she muttered under her breath as she continued deeper into the forest.
