The Forest

My name is Jenny, Jenny Smith I am writing this story because I was told to do so. If you find my name familiar, then I suppose you read the news lately. Yes, I am that girl, the 18 year old girl, the only one that made it out of the forest alive, pity that I was driven into insanity. I'm currently in my town's asylum. I'm also writing this story with the supervision of professors. Before answering any questions, I would like to share my story with you.

"Yo! Will! Hey! How are you doing?"
"Hey Jenny! I'm cool, wanna go to the club with me? You know cranky how Jake gets when there are latecomers."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

If you're wondering what's the 'club' is, allow me to explain. The club is the school's unofficial club. Here we discuss things such as murder cases. I know it sounds kind of weird but it's really interesting. We usually discuss stuff like the white faced killer, kidney eater and "it" in the forest.

Today, Will and I are the first few to arrive. As usual, Jake is the first to arrive as he's the president of the club. He really takes pride as being president. After a few minutes, everyone arrived. Oh how rude of me, I forgot to introduce everyone else! My apologies~ Well, there's me, the ambivert with brown hair and dark eyes, Will the extrovert, the one and only dark haired surfer boy (for some reason surfer boys are always blondes. Will is also my crush!). There's also Jake with sandy blonde hair and green eyes, the boss, Lily, the rich girl with platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes (rich as in really rich. Her family owns three Ferraris and three bungalows) and Peter, the cool guy who who's a ginger. I know, I know we have very few members but who cares?

Anyways, as I was saying we discuss about murder cases and we do it in the abandoned classroom at the third level of school.

"If you been reading the newspaper or watched the 9pm news, you would know that there are now not one but two new murderers nicknamed Deadshot and The Ripper respectively. There have not been any witness to describe how they look like or determine their genders but we know that they have a trademark," Jake said dramatically."Deadshot shoots her victims wh-" " How do we know that that is a 'she'? You said that there were no witnesses!" Lilly complained. "So Mr Smart guy, how is Deadshot a 'she'?" Jake just shrugged and said, " I don't know, I just thought it's better that they have a gender, that's all." Really, Lilly? Do you seriously have kick a fuss over such a matter? She can be really annoying at times. "What great timing, it's only the fifth of January and there are already new killers?" Peter grumbled."More troublemakers to deal with! I feel bad for the cops."

"As I was saying, Deadshot shoots their victims," Jack said."Happy now?" "Better, now your England is much more powderful." Lilly teased. Jake ignored her and proceeded.

"Deadshot shoots their victims in the head, heart, legs etcetera with, according to the police, a pistol. While The Ripper kills their victims by slicing, severing and stabbing them. The police are still trying to find out what is their weapon. But they think they use a katana." "Katanas? How? Are you freaking kidding me?" Peter exclaimed. "Wouldn't that thing be blunt by now, how can that sword be a murder weapon? Unbelievable!" I myself am also surprised.

"And that's not all, the police are unable to find any fingerprints or footprints. These two murderers are really dangerous, probably more dangerous than white face and kidney eater, who both have made a few flaws. After all, the police think that they can catch them, by going to go to the forest." Jake said, looking at us. "WHAT? That's... insane! I mean no one has ever made it out of the forest alive! That's just a suicide mission!"I exclaimed. "Just like what I was thinking, unless...? Jake said with a mysterious grin on his face. "Jake.... Don't you even dare." Will said, with a worried look on his face."I say all of us, the members of the club, spend a night in the forest tonight!" Jake said excitedly. "After all, if we make it out of the forest in one piece, that means the police would not be going on a suicide mission. What our parents and grandparents have been telling us about the forest have been just rumours," Jake said. "And the police can finally catch those crooks! After all, that's what we all wanted! Right?" Jake was right, we all wanted those trouble makers in jail, where they belong. I don't even know why they even exist, they're just good for nothings. A few weeks ago, we concluded that the crooks have been hiding in the forest. Witnesses always see them run into the forest. So, that was how we came to that conclusion.

"That's just insane!" Peter replied.
"Why not, today's Friday, we're allowed to go for sleepovers?" Jake said with mock shock.
"You want us to lie to our parents?"
"It's not really lying, we are literally going for a sleepover aren't we? But it's just not at a friend's house."
"But still..."
"Relax, if anything happens, I would do the chicken dance and the Harlem shake during lunch on Monday."
"Really?"
"Of course, when do I go back on my words? Deal?"
"Deal."
"Alright then, it's settled. I'll provide all the necessary items. The rest of you friends just tell your parents you're going to a sleepover. I mean, how bad could it be? The rumours about the forest are so fake it's funny! Trust me, nothing would happen to any of you." If only all of us knew that was like believing in happily ever after.

When I got home, I immediately asked my Mum for permission for the sleepover and she gave me permission. Oh yeah! I could barely contain myself, I was so excited despite the fact that I was slightly afraid. We're going to the forest. The one that no one makes it out out alive. Of course I'll be afraid!

A couple of hours later, I left my home and headed to the forest. I took the bus and alighted a few stops later and started walking to the forest. It would only take me about fifteen minutes to reach the forest. Just then, I spotted Lily I ran towards her direction. It was then I accidentally ran into an Asian girl. She was petite and looked really skinny. She had the most beautiful dark hair and eyes I've seen. She had bangs swept to the right. When she spoke she had a slight Japanese accent. She was wearing a torn white shirt with navy blue ripped slim fitting jeans. Despite her clothing, she looked adorable." U-um, sorry! I didn't see you there! I hope you're not hurt! Bye!" And after that, she took off running. That was strange, the looked she looked at me was like she recognised me but I haven't seen her before. Oh well, maybe I did. Who cares?

So, I caught up with Lilly and she guided me to the others. The guys had set up tents and there was a campfire. I was really impressed. At last, it was night and when interesting things would happen. "Okay guys! The blue tent for boys while the purple one for girls. Any objections?" "No!" we chorused. We ate some chips and brushed our teeth at a nearby stream. "Night guys." "Night Peter." "Night." Soon, all of us fell asleep.

"Sis, it is time yet?" "No, not yet. We still need to wait for a while more. Remember what you need to do." "Yes. I remember."

~Time Skip~

"Man, I need to pee. " Peter groaned as he got out of his sleeping bag. When he was making his way to the stream, he felt that something was amiss. He felt that he was being watched. "Sis, you go first. Stay safe." "Don't worry, I'll be fine, just like always. I'm not defeated that easily, remember the promise we made?'' Peter thought he heard voices and then he heard footsteps. Alarmed, he turned around only to find nothing behind him. Thinking he was safe, a hand covered his mouth. He tried struggling but he could not break free. Peter was then pulled away, far from the others. He then saw a shiny blade and he thought it was a knife but he noticed that it was longer, much longer. It was then he realised it was a sword, by the shape of the sword Peter realised it was a katana. Peter was definitely not expecting The Ripper to end his life. The only thing he could remember was a feminine voice whispering:"I hope you have a good night rest." Panicked seized him, so much that he could not feel the pain when the katana severed his limbs then stabbed his heart. It was a gruesome sight. Peter was now a torso without any limbs. A pool of blood was surrouded Peter as he laid on the ground with a fearful expression on his face, gazing into the treetops.

It had been a long time since Peter went to pee and Jake was feeling worried about his friend. He had been best friends with Peter since they were five so they were very close. "Maybe I should look for him." Jake whispered to himself. When Jake got out of the tent, he saw something shiny on the ground. Upon further inspection, he realised it was Peter's favourite watch, his family heirloom which was passed down from his great grandfather. Jake also found some footsteps near the watch. Not only that, the footsteps looked like it belonged to a person that struggled. Worried Peter was in trouble, he followed quickly the footsteps.

Jake had followed all the footsteps and there wasn't a single one left. "Man, I'm really far from the others. I just hope I won't loose my way later." Jake said to himself. "Unfortunately, you won't be able to see 'the others' once I deal with you." A soft, feminine voice said. Jake spun around and shouted:"Who's there? You don't wanna mess with me! I'm a black belt!" Jake's eyes were darting around, trying to look for the girl. "Oh really? Let's see what you're made of!" Suddenly, Jake was kicked in the stomach. After that, he was thrown like a rag doll and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. Just when he tried to escape, a girl wearing a torn white shirt and ripped navy blue jeans wearing a white cat mask stood before him. She was more than a head shorter than him. Jake could not believe his eyes. How could someone shorter and skinnier than him deal so much damage? "Trying to run away? You still call yourself a black belt? What a coward! Where's your fighting spirit? Extinguished already?" The girl mocked."Well, that's too bad for you." And with that she charged towards Jake. Unfortunately, Jake was unable to dodge the attack as his muscles refused to budge and he was punched, the girl's fist pierced through Jake's stomach! He was so shocked that he was paralysed on the spot. When the girl pulled her hand out, Jake felt a kind of pain that he had never felt before. It was so excruciating that he had to blink back some tears. The girl pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Jake. Jake's mouth went dry. How could I be so stupid? Jake thought to himself. How could I put all of my friends in grave danger? The silence of the forest was then  broken by a gunshot.

"You did a great job out there."
"You flatter me Sis. You did a great job too, better than me."
"Don't say that. A piece of advice: you need to have more confidence if you want to successfully accomplish your task."
"Yes you are correct. But now, who shall be the next victim?"
"Well, I say we choose...."

~Time Skip~

If you're wondering who's the next victim, it's Will. Deadshot and The Ripper went to deal with the boys before dealing with me and Lilly. And luckily, Will wasn't killed. Yet. Those two spared him as he was needed for the most interesting part of their plan. I bet you're wondering what's the plan. Don't worry, you'll find out soon.

Will woke up as he had a "nightmare". He dreamt that Peter and Jake had been killed by two mysterious people with white cat masks. And that's not all, the taller one wielded a katana while the shorter one used a pistol. "What the! Am I stressed or something? Why am I dreaming about those two killing my friends?" Will said to himself." Wait a minute, where's Peter and Jake? Maybe they went to the toilet or something.'' " U-um, I know where your friends are, IN A PLACE WHERE YOU'll SOON MEET THEM!" Will spun around and met face to face with one of the masked killer, the taller one. Jake knew it was a she as it was wearing a torn grey long-sleeved shirt with a medium length black skirt that had some holes with matching black leggings. "You're coming with me." With that, he was teleported to a room with a chair in the centre. On the right side of the room there were two corpses. Curious, Will approached the corpses. Upon closer inspection, Will realised they were Peter and Jake. "No, i-it c-can't be. What have you done to them you freak?"
"Killed them obviously. However, I didn't deal with them myself, I had help from my little sister. You'll see her soon."
Tears were flowing down Will's cheeks. It had been a long time since he cried, a few years maybe?
"But Will..."
"Wha- wait, how did you know my name?" Will demanded.
" With help from my little sister of course, she's really helpful don't you think?"
" Like I even care about your stupid friend! I bet she's uglier than you! Both of you just kill, kill, kill! Have you ever thought of the feelings of your victims? Of course not you pathetic loser!"
"What a naughty boy, it seems I have no choice but to punish you. Oh and one more thing, never ever make fun of my little sister."
"What what are you doing? No! Stop it! No! Noooooo!"

~Time Skip~

"Ring... riinggg" Sounded the alarm clock. ''Ugh, seriously Lily, it's only 3am. Why do you want to get up?'' I asked. Lilly can be weird at times. "Oops, pardon me. I set it too early. Sorry!" She apologised. " I'm gonna play a prank on the guys, wanna join?" Since I had nothing better to do I agreed.  "Yeah sure why not." When we stood outside the guys' tent Lily told me her plan.

"I'm just going to do the typical going up to you then shout at the top of my lungs prank." Lily explained.
"That's all? You gotta be kidding me? Can't you do something more... less cliché?"
"So you're telling me you can do better?"
"Of course!"
"May the better prankster win!"
"Challenge accepted!''
The truth was, I had no idea how to come up with a better prank than Lily, I was just boasting."You shouldn't tell lies" said a familiar voice."Huh?" I replied. " Who are you talking to?" Lilly asked.
"Nothing. My mind is just playing tricks on me."
"Alright then..."
"You know what, why don't we prank them together? You know teamwork?"
"Aww you chicken, why didn't you say so? Pride huh? Oh well, doesn't matter. On my count we shout pizza delivery got it?"
"Yeah."
"Ready one,two, three!"
"PIZZA DELIVERY!" Lily and I shouted at the top of our lungs.

However, we couldn't hear any noise that came from the tent. "Huh?" Lilly asked, clearly confused. I opened the flap of the tent only to find an empty tent. It seems that the guys either went for a walk or went to pee. "Oh well then, back to bed. We'll prank them later." Lily said."Can I play too?" An oddly familiar feminine voice asked, that voice sounded so familiar, I just can't remember who had a voice like that. "Aww little sister ~ You wanna to toy with them. How cute~" Another feminine voice cooed. "What in the wo-" "Remember me, I'm the girl whom you bumped into earlier. We're gonna have so much fun, I'm so excited!" The girl said excitedly. "Come on then both of you!" Said the other voice. Suddenly, the world turned dark as I fell into a deep slumber.

When I woke up, I was chained up to a chair. It took me a while to adjust to the new surroundings. "Ah! Your awake! Please call me Ripper, you can call my little sister Deadshot. You'll see your friends soon, please be patient." Said 'Ripper'.
"Jenny, w-where are you?" asked Lily.
"Over here, on your right."
"Oh. Any idea where are we?"
"Perhaps a basement."
"Really? I can't tell, my head is spinning and everything around me is blur."
"Oops! Guess Deadshot knocked you out too hard."said 'Ripper'.

"Who the freak are you? Jenny, who is she?"asked Lily. "Our kidnapper, duh. Who else can she be? The tooth fairy?" I answered sarcastically. Suddenly, the chains that held me became undone, same for Lily. Lily attempted to run away but 'Ripper' held onto her arm. To be more accurate, 'Ripper' was crushing Lily's arm. Lily screamed as her arm was being crushed. At that moment, a short person entered the room. That person was also wearing a cat mask and she was holding a kitchen knife. The knife the person was holding was long and sharp. "Ok, tell me what's happening!" Lily demanded, gasping for air. It was then she spotted something on her right. "I-is that Peter and J-jake?" asked Lily. There were two corpses at the right side of the room- Peter and Jake, but no Will.

Tears started to flow down Lilly's cheeks. She was sad and heartbroken that Jake was dead. She had a crush on Jake for over a year when she first joined the club. But now, he's no longer around. It was then Lily gave in to her inner demons. Her eyes became filled with hatred. "Why y-''That was Lily's last words as someone suddenly stabbed in the heart. However, that wasn't enough for the killer, Lily was then being stabbed in various parts her body such as her arms and legs. Lily was looking at me with accusing eyes while crying in pain. I don't blame her. After all, I did not even attempt to stop the killer nor feel sad that my friend is gone, I just felt, empty. When the killer was done, she looked at me and removed her mask. Those dark eyes, I seen them before. Yes, the Asian girl from before was standing before me."Someone wants to see you." she said.

I can't feel anything anymore. I don't care about anything or anyone anymore. All I want to do is to kill them; bathe in their blood. They took away the only person I care for apart from my family. But, I grew distant with them since I was 13. Will, I only care about him. I won't let anyone take him away from me, not even my family. If I can't be with him... no. That would never happen. We are meant to be together. Will and Jenny together forever. And now, they took him away. But I can't kill them, yet. The time is not ripe yet but I will kill them with my own two hands.

Just when I was thinking about Will, he was standing in front of me! I was elated that he was alive. However, happiness soon turned to anger as I saw some bruises and cuts on Will's face and hands."Will! What did they do to you? You're hurt! Don't worry, I'll make sure that they pay for what they done, to you! I'm gonna stomp on them, stab them like how one of them stabbed Lily I don't care whose blood I have to spill to be with you Will!" I said with determination in my voice. I could feel a sadistic smile creeping on my face. At that moment I snapped. "Jenny... You've changed... Stay back!" Will said, stepping away from me. Like I would harm him. Oh Will, you silly boy. Why would I ever harm you? You're the reason I live.

"May I please join in the chit chat session?" A dreaded voice asked. It was that stupid and ugly Asian girl. I glared at her for acting so innocent and for trying to talk to my Will. Despite my glare she started to talk to Will about random topics such as the weather and how he was feeling. As she was talking, Will tried to find the opportunity to run away. How dare she make my Will feel uncomfortable! I heard a 'clang' noise on my right like something was being dropped or thrown on the ground. Just as I wanted to strangle the girl, I went to check on the object dropped. The object was the long kitchen knife that was used to kill Lily. The knife was stained with blood, Lily's blood. It looked so beautiful. At that instant I knew what I had to do. I grabbed the knife and charged towards her.

Just when the knife was about to make contact with that girl, she pulled Will in front of her so that he could shield her. Unfortunately, I was unable to stop myself so I stabbed Will instead! No! My precious Will! The knife pierced into his heart and he was gone. I can never forget the look on his face. He looked like he saw a monster. And I was the monster who killed him. I could make the excuse that it wasn't my intention but I was the one that stabbed him. I was so heartbroken and I started to cry. My Will was gone and it was her fault. I will kill her, and to do that, I'll throw away my humanity and sanity.

Just when I thought she was distracted and unarmed, she jumped 2 metres away. Why didn't she arm herself? I don't know. Maybe she hid weapon. I can't be bothered. She's gonna be a tough nut to crack but I'm not afraid, I don't even know what is fear anymore. I charged towards and she dodged the attack. Next, I did a series of punches and kicks and all that girl did was to step aside. I was getting frustrated and I aimed for her heart. Bad move. Instead of dodging, she countered my attack by punching me in the gut. I was taken aback by the strength of my opponent. Unfortunately, I did not have quick reflexes unlike my opponent so I got hit again, this time I got kicked in the back. I stumbled a few steps and this time I was being shot at various parts of my limbs. I did not have the energy to fight back anymore. I failed. I lacked the strength to avenge Will. All I could remember was the girl looking at me until I passed out.

Breaking news!!
  Jenny Smith  found outside of the forest!
  She was found unconscious by a tree at the perimeter of the forest with three corpses. It appears that they spent the night there.
Finally woke up after 8 hours but became mentality unstable. Started talking about retribution to some unknown people and laughing manically. Doctors decided to put her in the local asylum.

So here you go, the story of the girl who made it out of the forest alive. I because insane because Will was gone. However, I did not write this story alone. The girl and her her companion helped me. I didn't know how Peter and Jake died, only they did and guided me in my writing. And police, be careful if you want to catch them. They're the world's most dangerous crooks to ever live. They were also the ones who told me to write this. I had no choice but to oblige. Even though I wish to harm them I do not have the strength to do so. They would harm my family if I don't write this letter, without them, I'm nothing. Through this experience, I realised how much family means to me. Forget about Will and the others. My family is still alive and I must make sure that their right to live would not be taken away. This testimony is to serve as a warning to those who wishes to venture in the forest. You may pay a visit, just be ready to pay the price.
