They started to run deeper and deeper into the woods. At a certain point, they stopped.
“Hey, will we be able to find our way back?” asked.
“Should't be much of a problem, we just followed the path, didn't we?” replied. They both started to look around.
“Maybe it's better if we just went back for a bit, this is too far away.” thought about it a second time.
“Yeah, maybe. But let's just walk instead of run.” suggested. She agreed. They didn't realize that they already were holding hands for over 10 minutes. They started to walk back, hand in hand. When they walked, they looked around a bit.
“Ne, it's quite a beautiful wood, isn't it?” asked. nodded.
“Yeah, unlike others where there just are trees. There's a lot of moss in here too, look, like there at that tree! It's like if the moss is making a giant hand surrounding the tree!” They happily kept talking about the 'objects' they could see in the moss, when suddenly
“Hey, isn't that that hand again?” asked. “Are we lost?”
“We were just walking in a circle. Don't worry, we'll find a way out.” said. He took another path, one that went deeper into the woods. But ofcourse, they didn't knew that.
After walking for another 10 minutes, the wood started to became more beautiful and beautiful. But still...
“Hey, it's getting quite cold, isn't it?” They looked up to the sky, which started to get darker and darker. Little rain droplets started to fall from darkened clouds. The trees seemed to moan and groan under the impact of the weather, for the wind shook the branches violently.
“It's the wind.” said. He let go of her hand and undressed his sweater, giving it to .
“Here, for you” he said.
“But aren't you cold then?!” questioned surprisingly.
“No, I'm okay.” he said. helped her to put on the sweater. “Here you go.”
Only now noticed that they were walking hand in hand for some time already. He already started to miss the feeling of 's hand holding his one, keeping it really warm and a wee bit sweaty. They proceeded walking to wherever they felt was right. While walking further, started to shake a bit.
“What is it?” asked.
“Are we still in the same forest?” she asked.
“Ofcourse we are.” he replied. “Why?” The wood was no longer beautiful, the sun started to go down, they already knew they were lost but still really determined to find some outway, and it started to rain, but that made no difference. The forest's very aura seemed to have changed.
“Naah, just... it's nothing. Never mind” said. Since there was always a cut between their talking for several minutes, started to think about asking her what he wanted to ask. It was silent between the two of them. They were just walking next to each other, not saying anything.
started to collect his courage. There was something he had to tell.
A little deer sprinted noiselessly in the shadows of the trees, barely grazing the forest floor. The only think that could be heard was her light breathing as she dashes around bushes and branches.
“Did you hear that too?” asked, right when already had opened his mouth waiting for words to come out.
“What?”
“Are there animals in here?” asked.
“Of course there are. Birds, wasps, little insects, ...” He laughed at himself for a second for his stupid answer. on the other hand didn't hear his response, since she saw a book 5 meters in front of her. It was a white book, with 2 drawn open coffins on it.
“The complete manual of suicide by Wataru Tsurumi” she read.
“Eh?” didn't knew why suddenly said those words. He looked around and saw the book too.
“Who trashes stuff like this here?” he asked. raised her shoulders. “I don't know.”
They both proceeded walking, already forgotten that he wanted to ask something.
“Ne, the others must be wondering where we are right now, how long has it been since?” asked.
“I think about an hour and a half?” he guessed.
“Maybe we should call them?” suggested.
“Why didn't I think of that earlier!” was happy to take his cellphone and to get out of this stupid wood. He looked at his cellphone.
“Oh no.” he started. “No reach”
“WHAT?” was quite shocked, although if you'd look around you, it was quite logic that there was none.
“So we're really stuck here!” pouted.
“At least we're with 2 of us.” tried to calm her down. on the other hand wasn't really 'easy' to calm down. She started to walk fastly towards a different direction.
“I don't want to stay here any lon..” didn't finish her sentence. A dead person hanging on a chord on a tree was right in front of her, the body partly leaning against the tree. On the floor there was a bag, like if this person 'packed' everything to take with him to heaven.
How will she react?
1.Scream like hell
2. Run away
