It was a typical summer day when a group of friends decided to escape the city and embark on a camping trip into the depths of the dark woods.

The journey was filled with laughter and cheer as they anticipated their adventure, oblivious to what lay ahead.

As they arrived, golden rays of the setting sun painted an eerie picture over the vast sea of trees.

The first night breezed by peacefully. However, the subsequent nights were filled with strange rustlings and whispers beneath the ceaseless melodies of the forest.

The friends, initially dismissing these as mere forest noises, started to feel a sense of unease creeping in.

The whispers transformed into howls, the rustlings into footfalls. Fear began to take root.

Despite the fear, they decided to venture into the forest to investigate.

Led by the beam of their torches, they found an ancient, decaying cabin hidden beneath the cloak of the forest.

The cabin seemed forsaken, but the signs of recent habitation were visible: a flickering candle, fresh footprints.

As they dared to step inside, they discovered a gruesome sight - an array of old photographs of themselves, filled with red crosses.

Terror took a firm grip as they scrambled back to the safety of their campsite. The realization was unspoken but unanimous - they were not alone in these woods.

As they huddled in their tents, the sounds outside intensified. The sense of being watched was undeniable.

Slowly, one by one, the friends became victims of the unseen predator. Each disappearance was followed by a deafening silence.

The last remaining friend realizing the fate impending, put all her courage forth and decided to confront the eerie entity.

She stepped out into the darkness, her heart pounding against her chest. The woods seemed to hold its breath.
