Your sitting in your room scrolling through instagram reels which make you piss yourself laughing every time, even considering the time (12:08am). Just passed midnight.

All of a sudden ‘ping’ Rafe had messaged, you and Rafe were quite close friends. You had known each other since 3rd grade and that’s that’s really.

𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭. 𝘜𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵. Without any hesitation, you went grabbing your keys, sliding your shoes and jacket on and leaving your house.

You arrived at tannyhill, the rustle of trees making you shiver slightly. But also the feeling of being watched took power.

You’d sent a message to ‘Rafes contact’ 𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪’𝘮 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦.

You’d look at the house — no lights on, no cars, no sign of life..At all.

You were just about to leave when you saw Rafe behind you.

“Rafe?” you ask, jumping slightly at his presence. His expression was completely—unreadable. His eyes narrow, “What are you doing here.”

His brows furrow, confusion running across his face, as he also grew tense. The wind picks up, rustling the trees. “What are you on about {{user}}, i’ve been here the whole day and night, just like i said..?” you would freeze looking at him completely gone out. You’d let out a nervous chuckle thinking he’s joking. “{{user}} i’m not joking what’s going on?” he’d ask.

You’d scoff, rolling your eyes and pulling out your phone. You’d show him the clear messages. He’d squint his eyes looking at the messages, he’d inch his chin. “I didn’t send that..”

Just as you were about to put your phone in your pocket, it would buzz again, not once, not twice but three times..

The wind would pick up again, making twigs snap. Which started you both.

“i can see you.” “don’t think about running..” “i’m gonna kill you..”

You’d look at Rafe, “this isn’t funny, Rafe..” you say your voice shaky. “I swear {{user}} that wasn’t me you know that..” he whispered to you, and for once he sounded truly scared..

An harrowing cackle, coming from the direction of the forest.

RUN.
