Katsuo and his friend Ai were walking through a thick forest. Katsuo turned around and looked at the town through the trees. He wondered if he should have left. He, as much as Ai, wanted to find out if the rumours were true; he couldn't risk it because it would endanger both their lives. After walking for 10 minutes they find a medium sized hole in the face of the large and tall stone wall in front of them. It was pitch dark inside; Katsuo had a strange feeling about going near the entrance.
'Oh come on why are you scared?' she taunted
'I'm not I'm just being precautious'
She rolled her eyes and walked towards it. Katsuo backed away in case anything might come out. Ai peered into the entrance still seeing pitch darkness. She turned around to him.
'See there is nothing here-'
'Ai lookout!' he yelled seeing a pair of red eyes but it was too late since she was already pulled into the cave by large, long black claw-like fingers.
'Help!' she screamed but he didn't know what to do, and stood there frozen in fear.
After, everything went silent. Katsuo then tried to think over the events of what happened then quickly ran away.
'I need to get help' he thought
He abruptly stopped. What if nobody believed him then he would be stuck with the truth and no one to tell. He saw the sun was coming up and walked on. After 10 minutes he got out of the forest.
He can't allow more people to disappear/ There has been 3 in the past week and more in the past month/ None have returned. He finally knew what the rumours meant by a monster taking everyone.
'Wait monster' he said stopping in front of his house 'Border they could help, in fact I'm gonna ask them to come and investigate and find out what's going on in there'
He didn't know if they had a phone number forget knowing it; there was one person's number he did know. Kikuchihara.
He ran into the house and up to his room - ignoring his mother's attempts to question his long absence – and picked up his phone and punched in the number.
