I. First Mysteries
4) The Murderer in the Woods
Author's Note
Hi there, word of precaution, don't get the wrong idea. This is not a horror episode where there is a blood scene or anything creepy like that. It's all just a mystery with surprising suspense. With that said, enjoy.
Prologue
Everything's quiet in Kuyoku Forest. The trees and bushes were all standing still, until…
Tch! Tch! Tch!
A man with facial hair and glasses wearing an explorer's outfit with ripped scratches on it runs through every bush and tree branches. He was covered with scratch marks and blood all over his body. He was also huffing and puffing, feeling like he had been running away for hours. He looks back as if someone or something was chasing him, but he sees nothing in his sight.
While he wasn't looking, he slipped and fell down on a hill. It was a shortfall, but he struggles to pull himself back up on his feet and scratches his head. "Huff… Puff… Huff… Where's the exit!?" He cried while he is panicking. He kept running through every bush and tree branches hoping he would escape and exit out of the forest.
Then he saw a light, hoping that it was the exit. When he popped out of the trees and bushes, he found himself that he wasn't out of the forest but in a clear opening field. He looks around feeling he's hopelessly lost.
Snap!
Suddenly, He heard the sound of a twig that broke and turns toward the direction from that sound. Then he heard something rustling in the bushes as he became more scared than ever. He was breathing very hard and became so frightened. "Please! Leave me alone!" the guy cried. Unbeknownst to him, something watches the man behind his back. It races toward the man and leaps out of the bushes. The man turned around and…, "AAAAHHHHHH!"
Crows from inside the tall trees started to fly away into the sky.
