Chapter 5
I reach the Black Forest at 7:33 p.m. It's pitch black and I HATE the dark. I use my phone light to look through my bag to find my flashlight. I grab the flashlight and flick on the switch. All I see is trees everywhere. I use the compass on my phone and use it to go north since that is where the old factory is.
I walk for about 2 hours getting scratch from branches I can't see even with my flashlight. I start hearing things, scary things, but I can't see anything around me. The noises get louder and I get more panicked. It sounds like they are coming from all directions. I stumble over and lean against a tree so I don't fall over. The noises aren't going away! I need to get away from them. Where can I go? In my panic I just start climbing the tree I was previously leaning against. Oh my gosh I'm so stupid I hate heights. I find myself on a decent sized limb so I just try to relax. My head is spinning but I think will be okay. I'm super tired and I don't think I will be able to travel for the rest of the night. I am give or take over half way there so I'm just going to hope and pray I don't fall of this limb and I'm going to take a nap. I close my eyes and become instantly drowsy. I fall asleep without a care in the world.
When I wake up I need to squint for the sun is shining in my eyes. I look down and panic because I forgot I was in a tree. I climb down and check my phone which was at 20%. It was 10:45a.m. Wow I must have been extremely tired to sleep for 12 ½ hours. I sit down and take out a granola bar and eat it. Sadly, as I'm eating the voices start to come and haunt me. I fight back against them but the tears and voices still come. WEAK, BROKEN, NOT WORTH IT, GIVE UP, STUPID, NOT STRONG ENOUGH, VIOLET DOESN'T DESERVE YOU! No! Stop over thing Raven! You aren't stupid or weak or broken. You ARE worth it and strong enough! I can and will save Violet! I can be scared but I am strong enough to overcome my anxiety just for a few hours because she is worth it.
I walk the rest of the way to the old abandon factory and gasp at the sight. It looked rotted, broken, and brittle. Almost all of its paint was chipped off. Covered in vines and brush I hear a scream from inside that makes my heart drop. All right Raven, it's go time.
