Lily, Jess, Quinn, Jason, Kody and Robin are childhood bestfriends since they were in 4th grade, now they are currently in 11th grade. They recently had a new friend called Andrea and she's a brat. They planned to go for a trip in forest near their school.

"Are you guys ready?" asks Lily.

The group nodded. "Can we go now?" Andrea asks while frowning.

"What a brat" thinks Robin.

"You'll be wrinkly if you keep frowning Andrea" says Jess.

They went to the location by car as planned on 15th September at noon. After hours of driving they got there at afternoon. They went in the forest further and further until they stumbled upon a warning sign saying "Do Not Go Any Further" and "Danger, Keep Out" with a bunch of strings around them.

"Is this some kind of a joke?" Jason scoffs

"I don't t-think s-so, Jason" Quinn stutters, "I-it says that w-we can't g-go any f-further"

"Don't be scardy cat Quinn, maybe its just a prank, someone wants to prank on us" says Jess.

The group went further and further to the forest and stopped at a familiar looking tree.

"Isn't this the same tree that I just marked?" Lily says.

"When did you marked the tree? And where did you even get a knife so sharp?" Jess asks.

"L-lets just rest h-here guys, I-I'm tired of t-this long walk" Quinn says.

They group agreed. They went to set up the tents for the night and went to collect firewoods to cook food. After eating and talking they went to bed.

The next morning and the first thing they heared are Quinn's screams getting smaller and deeper.

Lily and her friends run towards the sounds of Quinn getting dragged away and screaming.

"HOLD ON, WE'RE COMING QUINN" shouts Lily.

When they arrived to the riverside where the sound has already died down, all they could see is Quinn's body being scratched in every part, a slit on her throat and a knife on her chest, her body are full of fresh bloods. Lily gasped and tears comes down from her eyes.

"N-no, no, no, t-this can't be, Quinn, oh Quinn, why did you h-have to leave us?" cried Lily.

Jess and Robin hugs Lily to comfort her. Kody hugs Quinn's lifeless body and cried, she was his most precious girl, his girlfriend, she had to die this way, in a brutal one yet. Jason pats him on the shoulders and says "Its alright, don't be sad anymore, she's in a good place now, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you sad like this."

"You don't understand, you don't understand, Jason" sobs Kody "She just got killed! She doesn't deserve this!"

"I know but-"

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, SHE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON I HAD IN MY LIFE AND NOW SHE'S DEAD, SHE DIED IN A BRUTAL WAY, I don't want her to die like this" Kody cried angrily.

Everyone got startled and look at Jason gesturing him to try to calm him down, Jason got up and said "We care about her death too, We all do ok?", he went to the riverside and sat down on a rock big enough to let five people to sit on and sighed.

Lily went up to Kody and says "Yeah, we all do care about her, we're not a bad friend who doesn't care about Quinn", trying to comfort Kody.

Andrea just stand beside Quinn, jaw half open, horror-strucked.

"We shouldn't come here at all, we shouldn't have" said Andrea in horror, "Its all your fault Lily, why did you even want to go on a trip here?"

"I- I was just-"

"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT LILY" shouts Andrea, "WHY DID YOU EVEN WANT TO COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"

Everyone was shocked by Andrea's shouts.

"I-its not m-my fault *hics*, its not m-my f-fault" cried Lily, "I- I didn't know"

"Yeah, goddamn right you don't know, I wish you were dead, Lily, I knew you were up to something, what else would you be planning on wanting us to go the forest? Huh?" says Andrea, "YOU WANT US DEAD RIGHT?!"

"NO I DON'T AND I WOULD NEVER!" shouts Lily and tears starts overflowing with anger, "WHY WOULD I WANT YOU ALL DEAD? YOU'RE ALL MY FRIENDS"

"ENOUGH YOU TWO" shouts Kody, "DON'T YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!"

Everyone stood there quiet, Kody went to fetch a shovel and buries her body, found a bedrock and places it on top and writes "Here Lies My Beloved Girlfriend, Quinn".

After some time, they went back to their tent, it was already dark at that time, nobody was hungry as they have lost their appetite and so they all went to sleep.

The next day was a ━ gloomy and a completely quiet day. They were so quiet you can barely hear them except for the insects being noisy early in the morning. Lily was so quiet and everyone was looking for some kind of clue on Quinn's death marks before she was buried yesterday.

"By the looks of it, she looks like was being dragged and scratches got on all over her bodies and someone slit her throats and stabbed her in the heart before she died" says Jess, exhausted after looking around and founding some of Quinn's torn clothe's pieces on the trees and bushes.

Kody was quiet all day, he sat on a big rock near the riverside and talks to himself while sighing, "How I wish you were still alive, it would be a happy day and we could've stargaze and see more of the forest"

Lily watches Kody from afar thinking that if she should go comfort him or try to find some clues as to why Quinn was killed yesterday.

She hesitates for a while.

"Just leave him alone, Lily" the voice came from behind her back and she jumped, scared and surprised. She turns around to see Robin, he was looking at her all day. "Let's go find some clues, heartbroken people should be left alone more. Come, follow me, I'm showing you a place which I just found" . She followed him into the forest, deeper...and deeper...

Alas, they were here, the place looks so majestic, the way the trees were hanging and their colors of night. "How did you found this place?" asks Lily.

"Oh! Uhm, I stumbled upon them and I think it will be better if I show it to you first" he said.

"Ok... We should go back now or the group's gonna be worried"

He hesitated, nodded and agreed although he doesn't look so happy now that he's dissapointed about it.

He looked back, then left the place after a few hesitations.

"Have you found any clues yet?" Lily asks the group.

"I found a few, here" she gives all of the stuff she discovered to Lily. She looked at them, then Lily spoked "Not enough, we need more, we need to know who killed Quinn" .

"We were all there Lily, can't you tell?" says Andrea, feeling annoyed.

"Even so, there is still something off, why did she stopped screaming when we arrived?" asks Robin "It could be a recording or... something"

The wind was blowing hard Lily can barely hear Robin's last words and next thing they knew, they heard a loud splash, it was Kody.

They hurried and went there to see Kody in the river, drowning. Jason appeared out of nowhere and went in to save him. Lily looked at Jason, suspicions on her face, something in Jason doesn't sit right. Where were he yesterday? How did she not noticed that Jason has been missing since the day they passed the warning sign? Where did he go?

Questions were all over her head, where were Jason? Where we he when Quinn died? How did he appeared out of nowhere just to save Kody now? Did he do something?

Lily was shocked to even speak. Robin looked at her, concerned. Almost everyone was shocked.

"Hey guys, how are you?" Jason turned around to talk to them, smiling.

Lily turned to Robin, she looked like she was going to burst to tears then Robin hugs her tight and asks "Where were you, Robin?" looking at him, feeling concerned, eyebrow raised.

"Oh well, uhm, I went to check some stuff in the car before I went in with you all through the sign" he looked away, "Where were you guys? I were looking for you all since yesterday"

"Didn't you hear Quinn screaming yesterday?" Andrea asked, rolling her eyes, so annoyed.

"No...?"

Lily looked at Jason in disbelief, turned away and started crying while hugging Robin.

Robin flushed but changed his expression after and asked again "Why leave us then? You could just found us from miles since we didnt went that far and why are you only here now?"

"I- I didn't mean to, I tried looking for you all but its so hard to find you all since we're in a forest-"

"No, you mean you did it on purpose, you just don't want to meddle in these stuff and ran away" Robin cutted him.

"What happened to Quinn?" confused, Jason asked.

"She died" Lily said, her eyes were red now.

"Sorry" Jason said, without any expression on his face.

Everyone went quiet, horror-struck except for Andrea she was too shocked to even speak. "You killed her did you?" Kody asked, trembling in fear, "thats why you left us and killed her secretly right?"

"I-I didn't kill her, Kody" Jason said

"YOU DID AND YOU ADMIT IT" Kody shouted, "WHERE WERE YOU THEN WHEN QUINN DIED?"

"I-"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP AND CALM DOWN" Jessica shouts, angrily.

Everyone quieted down, Lily hugged Robin tight, sobbing and says, looking at Jessica "W-We should *hic* go b-back to the t-tent *hic* Jess"

Jessica looked like she was about to disagree but changed her mind after seeing Lily's expression the nodded and looked at everyone, they agreed. Everyone went back to their own tent, about to sleep after a quiet lunch. Lily went to Robin's tent and sees Robin taking off his glasses.

"Can I stay with you tonight, Robin?" Lily asked "I'm scared that I'll be the next" her eyes were red and tired-looking

Robin hesitated, "Sure, just don't get too close, I might think you're my pillow" he smiled, a bit worried

"Ok" Lily was flustered. She lied down beside Robin. "Its another quiet day isn't it?" She turned to Robin.

"Yeah it is, quiet..." Robin said.

"Do you think Jason is the killer?"

"I don't know, Lily" Robin said "We don't have that much clue or proof to prove that Jason is the one behind this"

"Mm, ok then, let's go to sleep now" Lily said, changing the topic "Goodnight, Robin"

"Night"

The next morning, everyone woke up to smell something oddly weird

Lily and Robin woke up wi themselves hugging each other, then they got flustered and lets go. They got up and smells the scent of ...

"What's this smell?" Lily asked while trying to figure it out by sniffing around the place. Suddenly a scream was heard, it was Andrea's scream of horror. They went to her direction and saw something horrible —

Lily's face turned horror-struck, Robin was shocked too. Then tears start coming down from her eyes

"No not again, Kody you have to wake up, don't leave us like Quinn did, please..." Lily said and at that moment, her world became blank ——

A white flash on her mind, she thought she died but then Quinn and Kody appears out of thin air

They said together "Leave this place, Lily" then dissappears into the void she starts crying out hard, tears overflowed "Nooooo! Don't leave me! Please! Please!"

She woke up to see hearself being wrapped around like a pillow by Robin. Is it gonna happen? She asked herself, is Kody still alive? Don't die on me please Kody

She closes her eyes, the thought of it makes her trembles in which makes Robin wakes up and he looked at Lily straight in the eye, he asked half blushing "Why are you trembling?"

"Ah no, its ... Its nothing, should we check out Kody?" She asked

"Why?"

"I-I dreamed about him and Quinn" she said

"Oh what did you dream about?" he asked, abit concerned

"I dreamed about him dying then Quinn and Kody said about telling us to leave this place" she said, feeling down

"Ok then lets go check him out"

They got up and went to Kody's tent. When they got there, they saw Kody sleeping soundly like a pig, Lily was relieved to tears

"Lets go wake them up" Robin said, patting her on the head then she nodded, she went to wake the others up, Andrea and Jess woke up in the same tent and went yo the fireplace, waiting.

Lily went to notice that Jason's is not in his tent and was worried again, she then went to Robin and asked him if he has seen Jason anywhere but he shaked his head.

Just at the thought of him going missing they wanted to find him but then Jason appeared out of nowhere, holding a bunch of raspberries in his basket and looked at them curiously then asked "Looking for me?" he smiled holding the basket up

Both of them was relieved and put out a sigh of relief and Andrea asked "Where's my breakfast?" yawning, hairs messed up into like a beggar's hair that has not been washed for like months.

Lily laughed "let's start making breakfast then" they chats and laugh happily while cooking together as a team...

By that time Lily had forgotten about the warnings in her dream —

After breakfast, they went to the river, playing around the water happily

Lily was the only one that doesn't join, she sat on a rock

beside the river, looking at the others as they play with water, splashing each othe

Robin joins Lily after a while sitting beside her, he says "No more kill today?", Lily shook her head "No" she says

They went back and cook lunch to eat, Jason and Kody was gone in the woods finding materials and wood for fire

Hours has past, Jason was the only one who came back, he was trembling in fear and his clothes were all bloody, when he saw Lily, he rushed towards her

"YOU! IT WAS YOU WHO KILLED KODY, I SAW YOU KILLED KODY INFRONT OF ME" Jason said, grabbing both Lily's shoulders "YOU KILLED HIM, YOU KILLED HIM" He said again

Lily looked so shocked and terrified that she just went quiet while Jason keep shaking her by her shoulders "YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM" He shouts

Robin rushed forward, pushing Jason hard to the ground, ppinning him "Stop it, why did you say she killed him? She was here the entire time!" Robin said

"Why would you think she killed him?" Robin asked again

Jason shook his head hard "It was really...her..." he said, still trembling "I saw her..." he said

Robin looked at Lily with confusion, Lily shook her head "I didn't kill anyone, if I really had, I would have been long gone" she said, she looked weirdly calm with Kody being dead, is it because she knew this would happen? Or has she been very prepared for it?

"Hear that, Jason?" Robin said, looking back at Jason "If she did kill, she would've been long gone" he repeated Lily's sentence

"But...but I did see her kill him" Jason says, tears coming down from his eyes to his face

It was night already by the time Jason calmed down, "Take us to his body tomorrow, we will help bury him beside Quinn" Robin said, patting him on the shoulder, Jason nodded

"It's already nighttime, we should go to sleep, others has gone asleep too" Robin said, Lily was currently in Robin's tent, sleeping soundly, Jason nodded again, he went to his own tent and sleeps there

Robin goes inside his tent in which Lily slept in, he took off his glasses and turned out the light and sleeps too ——
