Group B

When I finally reached the party I was quite shocked. The loud music and clattering beat was hurting my ear after the silence. I asked myself how I did not hear that before? The most shocking moment was when I saw Jim and I went towards him to ask where he went. “Finally you are here!” he said, with a big smile on his face. “Where have you been?” I asked angrily. “Haven’t you recieved my sms?” he asked, while staring at me, with his big blue rounded eyes. I quickly searched my pockets for my phone, but I suddenly realized that I left it in the car. “We have to talk!” I said, while my heart was beating faster because I remembered what just happened. “Oh come on. I’m sure we can talk about it later. Enjoy the party!” he said, while he was walking towards the beertap.

I sat down on small brown bench not far from the edge of the glade. The music was still loud and it hurt my ear horribly. I was really confused with my thoughts. I did not know wether it was real or not. I did not feel safe anymore. I have tried to remember but I felt too terrified to do that. I want to bury these in myself but there is something which bothers me. Who or what was that in the forest? I just got a quick glimpse of it but it’s hard to define wether it was real. If it was, are we truly safe up here? The nearest town is 60 kilometers away from here. It’s more than far, considering I left my car at the barrier and something is wrong with it. I was too terrified to deal with the problem. “What time is it?” Pete loudly asked while he was coming towards me. I quickly looked on my watch and told him: “It’s half to 2 A.M.” He noded and sat down next to me.

“Are you okay?” He asked. I was hesitating wether I should tell him what I saw. When I thought about it, I felt my stomach, which was wrestling with my heart. I didn’t know what to say, so I noded yes. After our small conversation, we were sitting on the bench as silent as the dark forest itself. Pete broke the silence with a suggestion. “Maybe we should go and enjoy the party. If we a drink a bit, we will feel much better.” he suggested, while he stood up and smiled at me. I slowly lifted my head to look at his face and I saw the shining in his eyes. I saw a man before me who was offering me salvation in the grace of alcohol. “Okay let’s go!” I replied and we were already on our way into the direction of the beertap. I did not even anticipated that everything which happened to me in the forest is not over and it could be worse. When we were almost at the house, the electricity went off completely. The music stopped, the lights were out and the whole glade was descended into the darkness.

Everyone was confused. Patrick who was the host, told us to carry the booze inside and search for some candles in the kitchen. There were only six candles in the house but it was enough to give some light to see the house from the inside. When we were about to go out for the rest of the booze, we started to hear screams from outside and we saw Jim and Patrick running into the house with two girls and quickly closing the door behind them. ‘What’s happening?” I asked loudly. Patrick stared at me with the most terrorized look on his face and collapsed. In the next moment the light of the candles fade and there was nothing but complete darkness in the room. At the same time the screams stopped and somebody or something was trying to break the door. We quickly hid but that somehing managed to come into the dark house. I could only see his feet but I was quite unsure wether it was human or not. I slowly started to sneak towards the broken door. The thing spotted me and I ran into the woods.

It was so dark and quiet. When I saw that nothing is after me, the adrenaline in my veins started to decrease. Before I could clear my head I started to feel again the same feeling while I was in the woods. Somebody is watching me from the dark. I was paralized from the fear and I couldn’t move even one step ahead. I heard footsteps behind me but couldn’t see anybody. The wind was still blowing and the forest surrounded me with it’s darkness. Suddenly I felt an arm on my shoulder and felt a presence next to my ear, when I heard the whisper again: “He is Here with us.”
