As I pondered upon the paper, there was a poorly drawn man with a suit and lengthy arms. His face was what stood out the most, there were no features present. No eyes, nose, mouth or anything at the most. Was this a mistake, or was it intended? I didn't know, but something deep in my heart advised me to stay away from this mysterious man. Then it hit me! My hand quickly fumbled as they ripped through the fabric of the back pack and saw that paper. Could this be one of the hidden 8 papers? Is this my ticket out of this nightmare? I quickly snatched the small paper off the rugged tree and smiled at the sight of it. My smile was soon wiped off of my now pale face. Drums, the sound of heavy tribal beating filled the silent air; which ceased to exist. The pounding of my heart matched the rapid rhythm of the drums. I was shaken by fear, causing adrenaline to flow furiously through my veins. My only instinct was to run, and so I did. With no direction I ran as fast as my feet could take me. I didn't know where I was heading or what I was running from. Looking over my shoulder, I saw the familiar boulder. Nothing was there but the large rock, there was nothing following me, but the pounding of drums did not seem to end. Whatever directions I ran in, it did not seem to change. Was there no source for this music?
Finally, my feet came to a stop after minutes of unnecessary running. Unfortunately, I couldn't take it anymore. Without warning my knees fell to the ground with a loud thump. I attempted to rise again, but failed miserably. Using the nearby tree as support, I managed to get back on my pain gorged legs. The feeling of oxygen filling my lungs made my body go limp. Leaning on the trunk of the tree I began to take slow and steady steps. After walking for what seemed like hours, I saw a rather large tree in the distance. Nothing but an empty circle surrounded the tree; it seemed out of place. As if it was placed here intentionally. Approaching it slowly; its trunk appeared to get wider with every step I took. "This has to be the largest tree I've seen in my life" I thought to myself. The closer I got to it, the more intense the pounding sounded. Was it just my imagination? I wasn't sure. I stood there, undecided whether I should move forward or not. Gaining my courage, I jogged to the mysterious tree only to find another one of those notes. Sadly, this time it was different. As I pondered upon it, I let out a breathless gasp. It was more terrifying than the last. In clumsy bold letters it read, "ALWAYS WATCHES NO EYES". Is he watching me? Is this all a game to him? Twisting my neck to observe my surroundings for this man and… There he was. Staring at me with his featureless, snow white face, I froze. Strangely enough I was mesmerized by him. His face appeared too white, it didn't seem human. Was it just a mask? I had no time to observe the remaining of this slender man. He was beginning to approach me.
My heart sank and my breathing stopped. I snatched the paper and ran for my life. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" I screamed at him, but there was no reply. Don't look back. Don't look back! DON'T LOOK BACK! The thought flooded my head. But, I couldn't resist. I looked back and there he was, only a few steps away from me. His arms began to stretch as if they were made of rubber. Buzzing rang in my ears as my vision began to cloud. What was happening to me?! There's no more time to think. Just RUN! And so I did. I ran for as long as I could while glancing at the monster following me every few seconds. Thankfully, he seemed to disappear between the dark trees. Running quickly became an effort with every second. My lungs felt flat out of air, and my legs were near the point of collapsing. I can't take this anymore! I thought exhaustedly. Looking ahead I saw what appeared to be a small shack!
