Missouri is a nice place to live. You get all kinds of weather living there. Liberty, is a nice city. My neighbourhood was one of those neighbourhoods with no gates and all the kids ran around in the neighbours yards. The neighbourhood was located right next to a forest. The forest was quiet and large. Me and my friends spent a lot of time in that forest. But, when you have fun there is many important things you may miss. It was 9 o'clock and no one was in my house. I went outside and walked down the street to a friends house to see if they wanted to go hang out in the forest. They were twins, one much bigger than the other. We began our walk to the forest and made small talk. The biggest twin was a little worried about going out to the forest at night. It was his first time at night. He wasn't the night time kind of guy he either got kinda grumpy or scared when we did things at night. I wouldn't blame him for being scared there are a couple rumours about the forest. The rumours were hard to believe though the mainly consisted of animals killing people or crackheads taking a smoke down their. We had made it to the edge of the woods and started making our way in. We decided to make way to the ditch close to the entrance of the forest. "Dude do you see that?" The smaller twin asked. "Holy shit," I said. "What is it?" "Well you guys have fun," The big twin took of in the other direction quick. The thing was located in the center of the ditch. We made our way down the ditch and tried to not fall all the way to the center on the way down. As we got closer we both still couldn't make out what it was. It was pale. It was a body. The hands were tied together as were the legs. The head of the body was inside a head of a deer. On the back which was facing up towards us was a symbol cut into the back of the body. "Do you think it was a murder?" Jared asked while staring at the body in fear. (the small twin) "Of course it was," I responded quietly. "Well, we gonna go now?" "No I wanna stay longer," I snapped. "Shit man, Dude I don't think we should be down here anymore," He said.

I heard chanting off in the distance. Jared's head shot up and looked at me. I decided to lead the way because Jared was to scared. Following the chanting was hard. AS we walked deeper into the forest a scent of smoke filled the air. It was thin smoke and it was a large help of following the chanting assuming its coming from the same place. Off in the distance were large puffs of white smoke rising into the air.

The chanting stopped. Had they heard us? Do they see us? My mind raced quickly and I tried to be as silent as possible. I looked around Jared was gone. I never even knew he left. I don't know if he left or he was taken.

I got closer to see what was going on over there with the smoke. The quietness of the woods made it hard to move silently. I tripped on a pile of branches or what i thought to be a pile of branches. They were bones. I hoped the weren't human bones. I ignored them and pushed the thought out of my head.

I heard a noise. I hid behind a rock. The noise became louder and louder. It was a crunching noise. Someone was coming towards me. Sweat trickled down my face and my whole body was shaking. I felt a hand grasp around my neck. My brain wasn't allowing the rest of my body to move. I threw up.

"Jesus kid, you ate a crap ton before coming out here," The man said. "Speaking of coming out here, why are you out here?"

"I umm, I was curious I saw some stuff from a distance and wanted to get closer" I managed to speak but I struggled to get it out.

"Then you can help, I want you to stand up on that rock and make some noises" He said.

He had a gun so I did what he said. I walked to the rock and climbed up onto it. I could see what was happening perfectly from up on the rock. It seemed as if they were a cult of some kind. There was a dead man in their fire.

"Shit," I mumbled.

I turned to the man below me. He pointed the gun at me. I swallowed hard and began to shake again. I began to whistle. I began to whistle louder. The people by the fire definitely noticed me. I didn't see a gun on any of them but they were definitely holding something.

One of them pointed at me. They began to break into a run towards me. The things they were holding were long silver knives. I turned to the man behind me and his gun was still aimed right at me. I realized was bait.

One of the men from the group made it to me. He began chanting. He waited for his buddies to make it to the rock that I stood on. One more showed up and joined in on the other mans chant. Then a group of three joined the two in the chant. A gun was fired. My ears rang and my head hurt. Two of the five men were lying on the ground. I bolted the other direction.

Bushes and thorns scraped against my body as I ran. The man continued to fire the gun. There were three other shots that went off. I didn't stop running. Wind blew into my eyes and my legs were cut up by branches and thorns.

I tripped. I didn't have the energy to get back up.

"I got you know," I heard.

A hand was grasped around my shoulder. He was trying to keep me still. Something went into my leg. It began to sting. A knife was definitely in my calf. I screamed. The man twisted the knife in my leg. I screamed even louder than before. I swung up my opposite leg in anger.

My leg quickly made contact with his head. I heard a crack. The pain in my other leg was hurting more than ever. He had let go of the knife after I had kicked him. I had to do it. I pulled out the knife and screamed while doing it. Blood was everywhere.

Anger consumed my thoughts. I had the knife in my hands now. I scooted over to the man who was lying on the ground unconscious with his mouth open. I think I broke his jaw. I raised the knife and plunged it into his thigh and left him there to bleed out. It felt like the right thing to do.

I rested on the cold ground for a while. My senses began to fade. I was definitely losing blood. My vision was getting blurred. I tried to get up. My leg wouldn't let me. I began my crawl to the way out off the forest. I couldn't tell if the bleeding had stopped or not.

I couldn't push on any longer. I began to think.

I should have listened to Jared.

I am lying here dying.
