Dear Diary,

Ida wanted me to write in here for her in case something happens.

Things aren't going well, voices moan in the dark and Ida has been running a fever. I tried checking around the house for anything unusual, but I couldn't muster the courage to check the basement.

Ida told me the forest was calling her. I don't know what that means, but I can't leave her. I tried calling for a doctor, but the phone line is dead. When Ida wakes, she only mumbles that she can "feel them coming after her."

I don't know what she means, but I don't want to be here any longer.

I'm sorry Ida.
