Chapter 1 He's 7ft tall

*Prologue:*

The veil between reality and the unknown is thin. It's a fragile membrane, susceptible to tears. In the depths of the wilderness, where the moon dips into darkness, the fabric of existence is tested. The whispers of the unexplained carry on the wind, echoing through the trees. It's a place where logic falters, and the unimaginable lurks.

In this realm, the boundaries of sanity are pushed to the limit. The unthinkable becomes possible. And when the unthinkable happens, the consequences are catastrophic.

Welcome to the abyss. Welcome to your worst nightmare, or you're wildest dream, welcome to MAKE-BELIEVE.

Episode 1

A man stands above him with a look of glee as a swarm of crickets devore him up, a scream of agony ensues the air as the moonlight hawls in the night sky and a gust of wind blows on his face pushing his hair back unvailaing what can only be described as a face of pure terror

*gasp the they say in unison as a man tells this story near a campsite

'Are you scared? But i have only begun,' mathew says while he adds more firewood to the small fire in which they have all gathered round

'Noo were not' a child about fifteen years of age calls from the gatthering as they all nod in unison

'Ok, then i shall continue,' said mathew

The man was huge about 7ft tall as he stood over the dead man, but this only lasted for a moment as the man turned to finally leave the premises. He runs towards an old hut by the roadside and settles on a wooden stool. The dim red glow of a flickering bulb provides as the only source of light as the man reaches undernate the stool and pulls a knife tapped to the underbelly he smiles as blood drips from his mouth.

Just then, mathew stops as he realises the children have become pale with fear to the point where they begin to shiver

'Well it seems it's getting late lets go inside our tents' said mathew

'Noo we want to hear the end' the youngsters exclaim

'But you are all paralaised with fear' said Mathew 'and it's actually getting really late' he adds after a slight pause

Now dissapointed they retreat to thier tents as mathew adds one more log of wood to the fire and heads to his tent. Mathew was a teacher who had gone on a camping excursion with his students and was told he would be out hear for atleast

Five days. He is a man about six feet tall, dressed like a soldier, he's eyes are bright blue, and his hair tainted with magenta. He could be described as handsome for his age.

As mathew heads into his tent, he can only smile as he adores how frickle the minds of these yougsters are. i mean, there are teenagers, after all? right? He remembers when he was a child and would always get terrified at the slightest things. He zips up his tent and lays down as he remembers the time he's father had told him the same story he now tells the children and how his grandfather told he's father and soo on he chuckles as he stares at the roof of his tent, arm's crossed and smile's

'It's only but a story, the tear maker? are these guys for real? what a dumb fucking name,' he says. This was the name of the crazed villain of the tale who was a man who did nothing but kill and slaughter troughout the story and at the end now lives in the woods. 'Typical'

' a crazed monster who goes around to kill people and now lives in the woods, really who comes up with this fucking bullshit?' He says while smiling as he srugs his shoulders, turns hes head to the side and finally drifts to sleep.

The room is humid and hot at the same time, at the same time feels cold and feels as though he is boiling. He stands up and he's eyes widen with confusion, its all white. The floor, the walls, the ceiling. Its like a room but with no doors or windows he's heart begins to race and he begins to hyper ventilate

Just then a black figour appears just out of his periherals to his right. He's head turns rapidly but nothing is spootted, then to he's left. He sways he's head as fast as he can but also to no avail just when he realises he's dreaming he looks up and spots a face that has been twisted to the very core, its eyes have been noded out like as if its been pulled out, its face covered with numerous pores and mouth driping with blood, with a dagger on his right hand the room begins to strech out and a feeling engolfs him in what can only be described as a feeling of inpending doom

'Wake up sir! Wake up!' a voice is heared as mathew wake's up with a jolt panting and sweating profusely.

He notices its bright morining what looks like 8am and all the kids are up he thanks the boy who seemed rather startled

'Mr mathew, did you have a bad dream?' Said the boy whose name is james

'Yes, i did,' replied mathew with an assuring smile like he's telling him there's nothing to worry about

'Well, i did too,' said james as he explained

'A room, right? White an..a...an' he barely finishes the sentence as he remembers the figure and begins to imprint an emotion of outwrite dread on his face.

After that, mathew tells james there was nothing to worry about and that he should get ready for breakfast.

Little did he know that mathew himself is stunned about the fact they had the same dream, and after some questioning, he realised it was just him and the fifteen year old kid who had the dream. How did he guess they had the same dream?

He tries to put it out of he's mind and he insists on not talking about it.

'its just a fucking dream mathew chill out' these are the words mathew uses to calm himself.

The day is beautiful. The distant sounds of birds chirping eco throughout the campsite. The boys and girls just waking up rub their eyes and yawn with hands streched over thier heads as they gather round for breakfast.

Mathew still in a dase finally gets up and begins to start a new fire for breakfast, during this he calls out for james whos now picking bluebarries near a bush close by

'James!! James!!' Mathew cries

'Yes mr mathew' replies james as he differts he's attention to the camp site and rushes to he's teacher

'Go grap me that firewood over there' mathew says as he points towards a certain direction. But he feels as tho he needs to ask this kid how he knew his dream. He grids he's teeth as he bends down and grabs a small grill and places it over the fire

'Mr mathewww!!' James calls out as he brings a handfull of wood to the campsite

'Whats for breakfast? Mr mathew' a girl named janette asks with excitment on her face

'Well today were having pork' mathew replies as he pulls out a roll of raw pork meat and places it over the grill, he also brings a keg close to him and pours orange juice into a few cups and hands it over to each one of the kids

'Don't drink yet! Wait for the pork to finish grilling' mathew says

Sooner of later breakfast was finished and the kids were ready for activitys

Mathew gathers the boys in one section and the girls in another

'Today we will look for a wildflower, its going to be a competition between males and females' he says as he leans down and pulls out a picture from he's right leg holster

'The first group to bring me this wildflower wins' mathew says as he shows the picture to them.

'Its a new England ester, beautiful isn't it? Look at its details so you know not to pick the wrong thing'

A few moments later they were off to find the wildflowers except for a girl called isabella. She didn't go with them as she was allergic to certain types of wildflowers and so she stayed with mathew. She was a cute looking girl too small for her age, her eyes were bright blue and her checks looked like you could tell thier soft without touching them. Ironically she was the oldest in class about seventeen years of age, while the rest where fifteen to sixteen.

'Don't go too far it should be close by!!' Mathew exclaims from a distance as the kids scutter accross the field.

'Ive got it!!!' Jannette says quite joyfully as she picks it up

The other girls rush to celebrate with jannette as mathew looks from a distance.

Mathew grabs isabella by the hand and looks down at her, expecting her to be happy that the girls have won but finds utter shock in her face. Almost like a dream mathew slowly looks up and hears screams. Loud enough to make every bird close by vanish in an instant.

The guys rush over to the sound and isabella lets go of mathew and runs towards the crowd of children now standing in a circle where jannete was.

'What the hell is going on?' mathew thinks to himself as he rushes where the kids where and pushes a few of them aside, he's eyes widen and he's legs begin to shake, he's heart sinks as he sees a large hole where the children circled round. Somehow janette fell into a sinkhole. Not just any sink hole no, no, no it was absolutely massive, from a glace one could guess about seventheen metres wide and nine metres deep.

Mathew dosen't know what to say or even think, why would there be a sinkhole in the middle of a field? Is she dead? What im i going to do if the school finds out? Or worse....the pare- he's never ending race of thoughts are cut off short by a scream. He squints he's eyes and spots jannette

'How the hell is she alive?' Mathew dosent seem to notice he said that out lound.

'Don't worry we will get you out!! Hang in there while i go get some supplies' mathew exclaims

'Please hurry i don't like it down here!!' She replies. At this point everyone is soo shocked by what just happened and still happening no one seems ready to speak.

'Ill help you' isabella says 'me to' james adds followed by andrew a close friend of james.

'The rest of you four stay here and watch out for jannette' mathew says. Peter a boy who looked like he was about to cry at any second, hermia who was the girl that always came best in thier class. Stanley and drake din't seem fit to be left alone and stand guard. But what choice did mathew have?

The race back to camp was haunting, no one said a word or even stared at each other, there was only one goal in mind.

Get your shit together and save jannette

'Here grab this' mathew says as he tosses a large rope towards james and hands isabella a hook

'Why do you have this?' Isabella asks, mathew ignores her and grabs some bandages and places it in his pocket looks at her and says 'look around'

Moments later they arrive at the sinkhole, atleast where it should be

The look of terror everyone that guarded gives says it all. Peter begins to rant 'sir, sir we where guarding and, and *pant,pant the the floor started shaking and, and.. and the hole closed up'

'What? How?' Mathew says. He obviously dosen't belive them and goes to see for himself. And truth revealed the sinkhole was no more.

Then there is a gust of wind so loud and strong it pushes the tress back and sends everyones hair backwards.

Nothing seems real everything is happening so fast it's hard to even process. The world starts to move around, the sky turns grey the trees crooked, mathew hears screams that begin to fade out, he becomes dizzy, the world seems to strech out and... black nothing but black

14 days later....

Police are everywhere around the campsite. There is yellow tape surrounding the entire premises forensics move around in special gloves, uniform and masks, thier feet crunch the leaves underneth as they look for evidence pointing to the class current location. But try as they might nothing tangeble is found out, you could smell the desperation. The cops have thier cars lined up just outside the site, turns out after the five days where over the school sent the bus to pick everyone up from thier excursions. Some went to the central bank, some to a factory, and some to a prison site all for five days, but when it came to mr. Mathews class camp trip no one was found.

After several days parents got worried and as to calm them down they sent the police for an investigation. Several evidences where found but no one pointing to where they were now. The entire school could be sued of everything if these people aren't found.

Days go by and the search for evidence and clues persist. This insident at this point is all over the news, on the papers, the tv, the radio. It became a city concern. The parents of the kids who were lost could be seen crying over the television. Its agony to watch, some roll on the floor as they cry thier eyes out.

All fingers are pointed towards the school, and if these people aren't found in the next month the school is to be closed and shut down by the government as no security measures where taken in any of these trip and they would be held accountable for the deaths of these innocent children and teacher. What exactly happened?
