Chapter 1: The Trip Begins & lost
It was a summer vacation. One day a group of six college friends —Zyan, Liya, Elena, Julian, Diana and Leon—decided to go on a road trip deep into the hills.
Liya: Hey make this journey on Monday afternoon, ok. Cause my mom is not home right now . She is in my grandparents home. After she came we will talk about that. Does that is on a business trip. I can't leave my home like that.
Zyan: Ah,ok. I also have some work to do that will be great.
Elena: Is everyone agreed or do anyone have any problem? You can say that no problem.
Julian:Nah, I don't have any problem with that.
Leon: yeah let's do it. I am also getting bored in my home.
Diana : I also don't have but I am little bit scared of hills.
Elena: what? Wait are you afraid of hills? So you disagree right?
Diana: No no it's not like that let's do it I don't have problem to .
Leon: why are you afraid don't worry I will be there too. I will protect you.
Diana : No need. I can protect myself.
Liya: Ok ok , don't start again so we gonna make this journey in Monday okay.
Elena: Yeah yeah, that's right.
(In Monday afternoon)
Zyan: Why this two always late at everything.
Liya: Yeah, they must be fighting again.
Elena:It just a normal thing. They are always late at college too.
Leon:Yeah, I know.
Liya: I can't wait. Leon call Julian.
Leon: Ah, ok.
(In the call)
Leon: Hey, where are you?
Julian: I am at Diana's home.
Leon: What are you doing there? Did you forget about our trip?
Julian: Ah, ofcourse not. Diana is doing her makeup and I'm making her bag.
Leon: Tell your girl to do it first.
Julian: Yeah she is trying to look like a monkey.
Diana: What did you say? Guys I'm ready. I'm coming. Wait for me.
Leon:Yeah, we are not leaving. Get ready fast. Don't do so much Makeup.
Julian: Yeah, bye. We are coming.
Leon: Yeah, ok.
(The call ended)
After 30 minutes they came.
Zyan: So finally you both are here.
Julian:Yeah, don't tell me. Tell her.
Diana: You make me late. You told me to do this hairstyles, don't wear this dress, don't do this.
Julian: Yeahh, now it's my fault. You told me say how that looking on you.
Liya: Hey, guys. Stop stop. Don't fight.
Elena: let's go we are already late.
Laughter filled the car as music played loudly and they forgot all their worries.
Liya sat beside Zyan to steal glances at him. She had liked him for a long time, but never confessed.
As they moved deeper, the roads became narrower, darker, and strangely silent.
Diana : Are you sure this is the right way? [Nervously]
Julian laughed and said,
Julian: Relax sis, it's just a forest. I am not a kidnapper. This is obviously a right way.
But something about the forest didn't feel normal.
The air felt..... heavy.
Liya: Hey bro, are you sure that this is the right way? Cuz this doesn't seem to .
(Suddenly the car stopped)
Zyan: Hey what happened? why you stop to the car in a middle of the forest?
Julian: Something happened. The car is not moving.
Diana: That's why I don't like hills and forest together. Now we are stuck in a middle of the forest.
Leon: That's hard to find a garage right now cuz this is too late and there is no garage in hills. We have to go down to repair our car.
Zyan: What should we do now?
Elena: I think we need to find a hotel to stay tonight because I don't think that our hotel is close to us. And also the forest is not safe for us to stay.
By evening, their GPS stopped working
Julian: yeah you are right. And also GPS is not working.Let's leave the car behind the tree and marked that tree so we can find out our car in the morning.
Night fell quickly. The forest turned pitch black.
They did the same word Julian said.
And moved on from that place finding a hotel or something to stay tonight.
Liya: Hey look what's that?
