Chapter Four: The Notes

After opening the chest, I had spent a long time examining it, but it took me a while to find another secret hidden within the chest. There was a false bottom. And under the false bottom were 9 papers. One had an actual message, while the other sheets had crude drawings with very short messages on them. They all seemed alike, with short sentences such as "HELP ME," "DON'T LOOK," and "IT WATCHES." After this discovery, I began to come into even closer encounters with the figure. Once it had even appeared over me in my sleep. The music box now seems to be working, but it never turns on when I turn it on. Every so often, it just goes off in the middle of the night, just repeating the same song, over and over. It only began to play music again once I had uncovered the notes hidden under the false bottom. The message was from the man from the picture, and he was saying that the figure started haunting him once he had found these papers while hunting in the woods surrounding his home. He tried to get rid of the papers, but somehow, they were always in his room once he awoke.

*Sorry for making this event short, but it is what happened, and if I tried to make it any less mysterious or any more exciting, I would be lying about it. What people want is the truth, right?"
