ahem also i'm sorta fixing up "A Twisted Kind of Love" or whatever i called it with some uh "deleted scenes". i'm not done yet but i'll let you know when i am!
ANYWAY ON WITH THE STORY


Most of the sunlight couldn't break through the cover of tall auburn trees that blanketed the crusted ground below them. Grass, bugs, and leaves crunched with every step they took into the noisy dim forest. One man laughed boastfully, stabbing at the ground with a stick, a branch he found a while back, as he led the small pack. The two younger people, who lacked the man's exact sentiment, lagged behind and had wryly smiles on their faces. They made sure to grin just a little wider when the man turned to them, joyful and excited.

One of the two asked, "How long do we have until it's all over?"

"I don't know. I just want to go home," the other answered in a low voice, then shivered. "Why did we come anyway?"

"Because, one, we didn't know we'd be hiking over here of all places. Honestly, if we actually knew, we wouldn't be here, right? And two, we were bored…"

"But not this bored, right?"

"Right…"

The leader halted in his tracks to gaze at them. "Why are you two so slow?! Hiking is an exciting thing! I can't believe the both of you are way back over there!" Then he laughed loudly, just as they knew he would.

The two trotted a few steps to catch up and groaned. One placed a hand on their hip, "Hiking is fun, don't get me wrong. Trust me, I love it. But not in here."

The other person spoke, "Yeah, don't you know? There's always something in here, namely animals… like, oh, I don't know, mountain lions? Coyotes? Bears?"

"You two worry too much!" the man laughed again. "And if there is, we'll run. Nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Right, I guess the other people who were attacked didn't run away. Or, maybe they did but they weren't fast enough. Let me tell you, we aren't thrill seekers like you. We'd rather be safe. I mean really, you're the kind of person who'd rather be skydiving off a plane than having a relaxing afternoon."

Laughter, then, "Oh, look over there!" He pointed, and eyes followed. There was a dark circle in the distance surrounded by shadows. "…A cave? Ha, just what we need! Come on!" He started to take off, but the other person grabbed his arm, causing him to halt.

"W-Wait, didn't you hear what I just said to you? We, we, we aren't thrill seekers. With that said, I'm not going near that cave!" The other person agreed beside her noiselessly.

"Oh come on you two, nothing can happen! Really!"

"Right, and that's why this area is… uh… off-limits? Because really, there's no danger here, right? Oh wait, there is!" She waved her arms to emphasize her sentence. "I mean, a cave? Really?"

The boastful one sighed playfully, "Alright alright, after we check out the cave, we'll leave. Okay?"

The other person scowled. "Didn't I just say—"

"Just a peek, then we'll leave. Promise," he finished with a smile.

The two looked at each other and one exhaled loudly. "Okay. Fine. Fine! Let's just get this over with." The very moment they finished their sentence, the boastful one took up both of the person's arms and dragged them along his trail like a child dragging their parent to a candy store. Leaves were kicked, shoved, and pounded on while on the path to the cave. Complaints, grunts, and laughter echoed through the calm wooded area.

Once there however, the environment around them suddenly became gray and moist. The woodland creatures, the birds, and even the insect noises that called so loudly now became deaf in their ears. No streams of sunlight broke through to light their way.

One of them felt a chill down their spine as they swallowed hard. "Hey, maybe we shouldn't…"

"Heh, this is pretty thrilling isn't it?"The boastful one laughed to break the unexpected silence, but it only made the three of them jump from the sudden loudness.

"Maybe we should go. This is pretty damn creepy." The person slid their arm around the boastful one's waist. "Right? We're here; you see the cave, so let's just go."

"Y-Yeah," the other person nervously agreed.

"No no, I said I wanted to take a peek. That means go inside and see what's in there. It'll be fine! Hey, if you two don't want to go in, you can stay out here. I'll go look. Heh, don't leave me now!" He pulled out a flashlight from his pocket and switched it on. Although it was still day, the light lit the surroundings so brightly as if it really were nightfall. The other two nodded without a word, and watched as the leader moved stealthily into the darkness.

Each soft step made a loud tap that resonated down the cave. His light flashed to every possible movement he could see or feel. Although the outside was quiet, the cave wasn't. Insects were squirming on the walls and ground, and all watched the human tread deeper and deeper.

Tap.

Tap.

Deeper and deeper he went. He felt like he could almost taste the blackness in his mouth and touch it with his hands.

Tap.

Tap.

The cave started to reek, and the deeper he went, the more the smell became rancid and almost insufferable.

Tap.

Tap.

Crunch.

He looked down and saw that he stepped on a trail of maggots, and maybe a beetle or two (he couldn't tell, he was never the insect expert). He then focused on hearing other noises besides his own footsteps… Humming, buzzing noises entered his ear, followed by tiny crawling noises, and for a moment he swore he could hear many things eating at something. Pointing the flashlight down at the trail, he followed, this time avoiding the maggots. And not before long, he stopped in his path to raise the light up the maggot's trail and what it led to.

There was a bag.

He breathed out for what it felt like hours. Silly him, he thought, getting all worried. It was only a bag. An average grocery bag you could almost anywhere at any store. Someone must have thrown away some trash, he concluded. He inspected it; it was black, and worn, and…

The bag was ripped. Whether it was from someone else or it was just that old, he couldn't tell. He'll just throw it away in a proper trashcan. He's such a recycle freak after all. The bugs weren't a big deal, he shrugged. The man flicked away some of the insects on the tie and proceeded to pick up the bag. He expected things like banana peels, cans of soda, and leftover foods to fall out the bag. However, only one thing fell out, and tilted to his direction.

He yelled.

There's traffic on the 45 freeway up to the 96. And due to the sig alert, it will take a while for the traffic to clear up. And that's all from me, back to you Sonika."

"Thanks for the traffic update Miriam... Yesterday, a group of hikers came across a decapitated head in a cave located in the woods. When finding the head, the hikers immediately called 911. The same hikers are being held for trespassing an off-limit area. As for the head, forensics analysts have concluded that this is a part of what the officials call, 'The Lovesick Murders'. The head in question, which has been missing for four years, belongs to the body of ___________. Although they finally found the head, there are other parts of the body missing, namely the arms and one leg. As we all know, _________'s body was cut into pieces, and are either thrown around, or hidden in places. In fact, it was the only body to be hacked apart multiple times. The other bodies however, had common missing body parts.

"The arm and hands.

"Officials are still searching surrounding neighborhoods for them, so their families can rest in peace... The detectives are asking for any help on this cold case. If you have any information, please contact them at the number you see on the screen… In other news, our basketball team has broken a record this evening…"

He heard crazed laughter reverberate from the stretched white hall. Not being surprised at this, seeing as this place is for such things, he smiled to himself peacefully. He's waited so long. He's waited for four years for this event. His heart didn't beat loudly, he didn't tremble at the thought or become nervous; he knew this day was coming sooner or later.

He licked his lips in anticipation.

He followed the laugh, and although there were about three people laughing (or even more), he knew that laugh. The laugh he could never mistake for someone else's.

He stood outside the door with a smooth grin on his lips. The person on the other side of the door, however, was still laughing hysterically, unbeknownst to his presence.

He opens the door, and he's greeted by the sight of the person, wrapped in a tight straight jacket, lying on their back. Then, the person's smiling face instantly disappears, and they turn mute and wide-eyed at the very sight of him.

He smiled coolly, pleased by their shocked face.

"I'm back. Did you miss me?"
