Welcome Babe, With No Mercy!

Thundering clouds,

Falling rain,

Dark nights,

Full of pain,

Miles away,

From the city,

I,

Welcome you babe,

With,

No mercy!

Ñovember 15th,2009.

It was winter and the cold wind was blowing hard and was producing a horrible voice in the environment. The leaves of the trees were fluttering and the night spread its wings all over the city.

It was 1:00 at night and at that time of a night a group of friends were hanging out,laughing and enjoying the snowy night.

"Friends, why don't we go to the forest? We've been to the whole city but haven't been there once? What do you guys think of it? "One of them, Alex, asked excitedly.

"No Alex! I've heard a terrible story about it and someone told me it wasn't a story but a truth. So I don't think we should go there. It's too risky to go there."Rose responded seriously.

"What story? I've never heard it!?" He questioned.

"I've also heard that too!" Daws looked at everyone and replied "Wait! I'm going to tell you..." Everyone turned to him,he started telling the story.

"Thousands of years ago,miles away from the city,it was the darkest night of a snowy evening (looked at everyone's face).There was a dreadful sadness in the wind as it was in real the fearful night as an American boy Micheal Martin was engulfed by the forest "The Enchanted Forest" famous for its evil trees and atmosphere..."He stopped and took a deep breath.

"The Enchanted Forest?Means the magical one!?The real magical one...!?"Alis questioned surprisingly.

"Yes! the real magic but the Bad one!"Daws replied thoughtfully.

"How can you say that,that magic is a Bad one?"Mark asked,shaking his head.

"Look! In my words the magic which is used for bad purpose is a "BAD MAGIC"Daws replied.

"Bro! These stuff are just lame.I don't believe in these so called magical stuff or even an enchanted forest kinda thing..."William said carelessly.

"Huh your thinking..."Mark murmured while rolling his eyes,but William heard him.

"You...."He advanced towards Mark to punch him but Rose interrupted.

"Why you guys always ready to fight?Can't you sit quiet and stop fighting for a bit!?What rubbish!!"She was tired of their fights.Both stared each other.

"It seems more interesting than!"Alex smiled and looked at them.

"What's interesting in the whole conversation?"Olivia was totally scared of the whole talk,so questioned.

"Look! as the "rumours" spread everywhere about that forest, no one would ever tried to go there and check for it. So, it's a chance for us to go to the forest and make a documentary on it and prove that there's nothing "That" type"Alex explained.

"Not a bad idea!!"Alis smiled.

"What do you mean by not a bad idea?You guys are talking like its a coffee shop two streets away from our town.I am totally against it."Olivia was shocked and scared.

"Ohh silly! We guys just want to check whether these rumors really true or not! If not then we would become famous"Alex replied.

"No,never!! it is very dangerous!!No"She was constantly shaking her head in denial.

"Yah! I am with Olivia.She is right."Mark said.

"I expected this from you little Coward!"William said in sarcasmistic manner.

"Hey you just shut up!"Mark shouted,William ignored him.

"Look little!"Daws looked at Olivia."Nothing will happen! I promise."and comforted her.

"Daws you are casting pearls before swine!"Alis rolled her eyes.

"I am not going and it's final"Olivia stepped back.

"Olivia Olivia Olivia!!Do you trust us?"Rose questioned.Olivia was still quiet.

"Tell me Olivia!!Do you trust us or not?"She asked again.

"Yah I do but...."

"You do right!Then what's the point of saying but?If you trust us then go with us.Just relax!Everything will be fine."Rose smiled.Olivia hardly smiled.

"Okay then! it's final! We are going tomorrow"Daws made the final decision.Though everyone were pretty much excited except Olivia.

_____________

November 16th,2009.

Clouds were thundering and the snow was falling from the sky and scattered around every where and on the trees and presenting beautiful but scary scenario.

They all were standing in front of the forest,ready to go inside it.They were excited but at the same time their hearts were racing faster (because of nervousness).

"Lets go!"Daws said.

"Guys look! I think we should go back.I don't think it's better to go inside."Everyone can see the dreadful expression on her face.

"Olivia relax! okay relax! If we have come then we should go ahead.Everything will be fine."Rose comforted her.She took a deep breath.

They were moving ahead step by step.There was silence everywhere and the forest was full of dark and green trees.The forest was getting darker and darker as the dark clouds surrounds the whole area.

"I think it would be a better a place to stay.What do you guys say?"Mark stopped at a spot which is not that much darker nor lit.

"Yah I think it's better because it is not very dark here!"Daws replied while watching the whole area.

"Okay so we are camping here!"William said.They take off their bags and put them aside.

"Girls! You sit down we'll do it!"Mark said to the girls.

"You sure?"Alis questioned.

"Positive!"Mark smiled.

"Okay! As you wish!"they smiled and stepped back,sit down under a tree.

"Rose what do you think?"Alis questioned.

"Think about what?" Rose asked.

"I mean do you believe in witches,ghosts and vampires?"Alis explained her question.

"Look I am not sure about it.But may be!"Rose replied."Do you?"and questioned.

"No,these things are only in stories.I don't believe that these things are present in real!"Alis replied while shooking her head.

They both were talking and boys were setting up the camp.Olivia was sitting at a corner,looking here and there.There was nothing except tress but there was something,something very different.

"Girls camp is ready.Take your stuff and come inside.It seems like it will soon start rain!"William said while looking up to the sky which was full of dark clouds.

"Okay!"They stood up,picking up their bags.

"Olivia! We are going inside"Rose said but Olivia didn't listen.

"Olivia!"Rose shaked her shoulder.

"Yah..Are you..Are you saying something?"She returned to her senses.

"I said lets go inside!"

"Okay!"She stood up.

"Are you okay Olivia?"Rose questioned worriedly.

"Yah just little headache!"She hardly smiled and went inside the camp.

_______________

They reached the forest at six in the morning and have some rest.

After taking rest they went outside the camp,start the fire and were sitting around it.

Olivia was still in the camp searching something from her bag when Mark entered the camp.

"You were worried for no reason.Look everything's fine!"Mark said looking at Olivia and smiled.

"Yah!"she slowly replied.

"Okay now come out we are having breakfast"He said pointing outside where everyone was sitting around fire as it was winter.

"Okay just give me a sec!"Olivia replied.She was searching something from her bag.

"Okay!"Mark went outside.

"Guys we should go and check the whole area.Maybe we find something"William was saying.

"Yah I think you are right"Alex replied."Maybe we find some ghosts,witches or vampires"He laughed hard.

"Oh just shut up!! Don't scare us!"Alis stared at him.

"I was just kidding!Don't be serious!"He was still laughing.

"Listen up guys! I have heard that ghosts and witches really present in the areas where there's less population and it is a forest which is totally empty and except us and animals there is no human."Rose said worriedly.

"Oh c'mon!! These are just rumors.Why you guys don't listen?"William was tired of their talks.They were talking when Olivia came out.Her face was paled because of fear.

"Is everything fine Olivia?"Daws look at her face and questioned.

"What's wrong Olivia?"Mark stood up and asked worriedly.

"I..I saw a shadow in there."Her voice was shivering.

"What!?A shadow?What kind of shadow?"Alex asked anxiously.

"I don't know but there's someone in there I swear"She was nearly to cry.

"Okay relax I am going to check it"Mark said and went inside the camp.

"Wait Mark I am coming too"Daws said and followed him.They both went inside.

"Relax Olivia!There will be nothing"Alex comforted her.

"Alex I swear there was something"Now she was crying and looking at the camp from where Mark and Daws went inside.

"Okay okay please don't cry"Alis said for the first time.

"William please go and check is everything alright?They are still inside"Rose said worriedly.

"You guys calm down. There will be nothing. We all were here and haven't saw anything went inside."Wills relaxed them.

"Olivia drink water!"Alis gave her a bottle but she refused.

"No I don't want to."she was still looking inside the camp which is half closed and half open.

"Oh man!! Olivia there was nothing except this little Chipmunk!"Daws and Mark came out from the camp and Daws replied while catching a chipmunk from its tail.

"Oh Thank God!"Alex took a deep breath.

"I think Olivia you should take rest"Alis said to her.

"I am sorry guys! I thought... I thought there was...."

"Olivia you don't know you make us worried"Mark said angrily.She started crying again.

"I..I didn't mean that.Please stop crying"

"Olivia please don't cry."Rose comforted her.She wipe her tears.

"Okay so hurry up bring torches and umbrellas too.Because in this forest we can expect anything,anytime"Alex laughed.

"Alex be serious okay! Its not the time for laughing and saying lame jocks"Mark said while his facial expressions were serious.

"Relax bro she is fine now"Alex whispered and smiled.

"Alex just shut up or I'm gonna kill you"Mark warned him.

"Okay!okay no more words"Alex close his mouth,pretending to locked it.

"Rose,Alis you both go and bring torches.William and Mark you come with me and Olivia you go get umbrellas"Daws said to everyone.

"Where are we going?"William questioned.

"We are going to get some pebbles because we don't have enough pebbles to start a fire."Daws replied.

"Okay!"Everyone went to done their jobs.

_______________

It was evening and they were moving ahead,talking,laughing and enjoying the journey.They captured the pictures where they are staying and also recording the places coming in their ways.

"This forest is so scary."They were going ahead when Alis said.There were big dark green trees everywhere which were making the whole scene more terrible.

"Yah I agree!"Rose said while looking here and there.

"Guys! For such adventures one's has to suffer alot"Daws replied while raising his one eyebrow.

"I think we have adventured alot.Now we should go back!"Olivia whispered.No one heard her.

"Guys look there."William surprisingly pointed towards the house surrounded by the dark green trees.

"Oh man! Who built this house here?It seems like it was built thousands years ago"Alex laughed.Everyone stared at him.

"How much situation get worser but you still can't be serious!"William taunted.

"Sorry guys but I don't know why I am like this!!"Alex replied while putting his hands in his hairs and smiled.Everyome stared at him. He contract his lips.

"Should we go inside?"William questioned.

"No"Alis hurriedly said.

"Why?"Alex questioned.

"This building is very scary from outside and you are saying to go inside?"Rose questioned worriedly.

"That is what an adventure called"Wills replied while smiling.

"Now without wasting anytime let's go inside"Mark said and move towards the door of that building and opened it.They were amazed.The building was very big and full of statues,ornaments and mirrors.

"Oh that's cool! Look at the statues"Alex said surprisingly.

"Yah..these are amazing!"Mark also said.

"Guys there's an ornaments too"Olivia was shocked.Everyone smiled.

"Let's take a picture in here."Alis said excitedly.

"Stand in front of that statue.I will take a group picture"Daws said while pointing towards the biggest statue in the whole area.

Everyone make a queue and then Daws click.

"Haha this place is very cool"Mark loudly said and his voice spread in the whole area and then returned back.

"Lol check this out!"He laughed again.

"Come here guys look what I've found!"Rose shouted.Her voice was coming from the room.

There were skeletons of different rare wild animals.But they didn't see the human skeletons as it was hidden in the back side of the room.

"Whoa!! This building is wondering us! I can not imagine it would be so worthy to see this"Wills said surprisingly.

"Yah true!!"Olivia replied.

They recorded the whole building,ornaments and statues.They enjoy the whole day watching and commenting on the statues and skeletons.

They came back before it get dark and eat canned food.Everyone can listen their laughs.It seems like they were having fun there. As I said, that there's no human except these seven so you can imagine who "Everyone" is!

_______________

The howls of the jackal's can be listened.They lit up the fire and were sitting around it.Daws were looking at the pictures that they took yesterday's evening.Wills,Alis and Rose were talking about yesterday's and Olivia was sitting quiet and having coffee.

"Olivia! Did you enjoy?"Mark questioned.

"Yah! It was fun though"she smiled.

"Oh my...." Before they say anything about it,Daws shouted while looking at the screen.

"What happened Daws?Is everything right?"Rose hurriedly questioned.

"Look....look at this picture"His eyes was widened and he turned the screen towards them.

"What happened bro? Why are you shouting while looking at this picture?" Alex questioned him.

"Look carefully there's someone else in the picture" He looked at them and replied worriedly.

"Relax bro!"Wills comforted him and everyone focused on the picture that he was zooming in.

"What are you shouting at Daws? It's just a picture that we took in the morning.You are screaming like you saw some Ghosts"Wills laughed.

"There was someone in the picture right behind Rose"He pointed towards the picture where they all were standing in front of the statue and rose was standing at the end.

"There?"Alis questioned and put her finger at that spot.

"Yah..."He hesitantly replied.

Rose fully zoomed the picture but there was nothing.

"I think you are tired so talking like that. I think we should take rest!"Wills replied as it was true they were awake from many several hours and did not sleep.Daws wanted to say something but remained quiet.

"Yah guys Wills is right.We should take rest now"Alis said while Olivia was shocked on hearing him.She who feel relaxed that there is nothing of "That type",again get hesitated.

Suddenly strong breeze blow and put off the fire.

Girls suddenly screamed from fear.

"G..Girls relax! it was just wind that put off the fire"Mark comforted them but his own heart was racing so hard.

"Guys let's go inside."Alex said while watching here and there and without wasting even a second they went inside the camp and zipped it.

"There is something...."Olivia said but William interrupted her.

"No Olivia! It was just wind,nothing else"

And they remained silent.

"Okay so I think we should sleep"Alis said normally but this small incident had made their hearts beat faster.

They all lay down at their places,remained focused.

Night was melting slowly.They fell asleep but Olivia was still awake.

She closed her eyes but opened immediately.She felt that someone is in the camp.Her heart started racing faster.

She can hear creepy voices and it was coming from near.

She gripped on the comfort tightly and now she feel that someone passed by her.She felt that she is nearly to her death.She wanted to scream but from fear her voice was stuck in her throat.She tightly gripped at her mouth, not to scream and from fear she tightly closed her eyes.

She was breathing hard and her grip on the comfort and eyes was tight.

And then everything became normal. She opened her eyes and looked at the camp. No one was there she took a deep breath and tried to fall asleep.

________________

November 17th,2009.

They all woke up.It was 5 in the morning.

They all came out from the camp.They all feel relaxed.

But suddenly their facial expressions changed.Olivia was no where.

"Guys do you know where is Olivia?"Mark questioned.

"What do you mean?She must be inside the camp.Where will she go?"William replied.

"She is not inside the camp even Alex and I checked the near area also but she is no where!"He facial expressions wasn't looked well.

"Relax Mark! Maybe she must go for a walk.Relax"Rose comforted him.

"No Rose.Something had happened to her I know that.Something had happened"He was constantly saying this and sit down on the floor and began to pull his hairs.

"We'll find her Mark...Please Relax"Alis comforted him.

Daws was standing blank minded.First he saw something in the picture and now Olivia was missing.It means there is something that would surely harm them too.

"Guys let's get torches and umbrella's .We have to go and look for Olivia.She must me here somewhere"Alex said and he was sure that they will find her.

And without wasting time they get torches, umbrella's and string.William didn't forget to get his camera with him.

There were two ways which were divided by big, broad green trees.

"Guys where should we go?"Alis questioned.They were confused.

"Do we have to divide?"Daws also questioned.

"Yes!"Alex replied.

"Okay I will go that way you guys go from the other side"Wills pointed towards the right side.

"No Wills! We have to go in pairs.It is not safe to go alone.We had already lost Olivia."Daws replied and he was right.

"Rose you,Mark and Daws go that way I Alis and Wills will go from right! Right!??"Alex explained.They nodded their head in positive and went ahead.

"Olivia! Olivia where are you?"They were moving ahead and calling for her name.

Cold breeze started blowing.Leaves on the trees were fluttering and they were producing horrible voice.The clouds surrounded the whole sky and it seems like it is 6 in the evening.

They turned their torches on and it's flash can be seen on the grassy ground.

There were bushes fallen here and there on the ground so they were moving ahead carefully.

Suddenly a bird flew from behind the trees.Rose screamed and tightly gripped on Mark's jacket.

"Rose it's just a bird and it flew away"Daws comforted her.

She took a deep breath and started walking again.

On the other side:

"Guys I think we are still there from where we started walking"Alis said while examining the area.

"What?no it can't be happened.I think it's just your illusion"William said.

"Maybe or maybe not"she whispered.

"C'mon guys! Don't lose hope.We had just started"Alex looked towards them and said.

"Alex I think it's exactly the same place"Alis said again and then they heard voices and the voices were coming nearer.

Alis closed her eyes and fist tightly.

Wills and Alex remained focused and then they saw Daws,Rose and Mark coming from the front.

They surprised.

"Weren't you guys supposed to go from the other side?"Wills questioned confusingly.

"That's exactly the same question i'm gonna ask"Rose said.

"I think we are at the same place from where we left"Mark said.

"Yah I also think so..."Alis also said.

"But guys how could this happen?"Daws asked slowly but before anyone answered suddenly a body hung with a branch of tree fall down and its foot was stuck with the leaves.

Their faces became paled.And the last thing that was heard was their screams.

____________

Their faces became paled.And the last thing that was heard was their screams.

"Guys run.....!!!!" Their hearts were beating faster and they were shivering from fear.

But now,they have to save their lives,so started running.

"Guys run! We have to save our lives"Wills hurriedly said.They kept on running without seeing back.They were out of breath.

Rose and Alis stopped and were breathing hard.

"I can't run anymore!"Rose bowed down to her knees and said.

"Rose!! You have to! We are in danger!"Alex said to her,and now Rose started crying.

"I can't please!!"she sat down."I want to go back!"She was still crying.

Mark looked here and there anxiously.

"Help! Somebody please help me!!" Before they started running again, they heard the voice which was coming from near.

"It's Olivia's voice!!" They were shocked and before thinking anything Mark run to the side from where her voice was coming from.

"Olivia! Olivia where are you? It's me Mark!!"He shouted again and turned to look for her and at last he saw her who's sitting on the ground with her back to the trunk of the tree.

"Olivia! Are you alright...."He run towards her and before completing his sentence his eyes widened while seeing her condition.

There was a blood at the corner of her pink lips and scratches at her neck. Her jeans was ripped off from the knees and the wound was clearly seen from there.

"Oh my god! What...what happened to you?"He knelt before her and asked anxiously.

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

He can see the pain clearly in her eyes and face.

"Olivia...." Daws, Alex,Wills,Rose and Alis came here and run towards her.

After seeing her condition they forgot what just happened few minutes ago and worried for her.

"What......happened??"

And before answer anything, she fainted.

_________________

She opened her eyes and found Rose bent over her.

She hardly opened her full eyes and see where she is?

But now she was safe and sound laying at her place and her friends were sitting around her.

Her eyes became wet and tears started coming out of it.

She placed her hand on her lip which was bandaged and the wounds on the nack and the knees were also bandaged.

"Olivia relax! You are safe now" Alis comforted her and place her hand on her cheek.

"How you went there Olivia?" Alex questioned her.

"I...I feel suffocated in the camp so went out for the fresh air but....but then I don't know how I reached there and then..."She stopped, and remembered what had happened. "And then a girl with a long literally long nails came to me and hit me on my neck and then I don't know what had happened!! I was fainted and then, when I woke up I was sitting back to the trunk of the tree and I felt that I had no soul in my body!!" She told them the whole scenario.

"She will kill me. She won't spare us." She was crying and saying these words while everyone looked at each other worriedly.

"Guys I think we should go back now before situation get more worse" Daws said while examining Olivia's condition.

"Yes! You are right. Hurry up packed your stuff. We are leaving now!" Alex said and look around the stuff and their camera which was scattered around.

"Olivia are you in the condition to go back? I mean can you walk?" Daws questioned worriedly. She nodded her head hardly in positive.

They hurriedly started packing their stuff because they wanted to leave the forest as soon as possible.

"Guys our luggage is packed! Hurry up. I'll go check for the situations ahead. You guys hurry up come out!" Mark said and run outside the camp.

"Olivia stand up slowly"

"Careful..!"

Rose and Alis helped her to stand on her feet. A layer of pain spread through her body and she groaned in pain.

"Olivia! You alright?" They hurriedly asked her. Her eyes were wet but again she nodded her head in positive.

"The way is clear. Let's go." Mark stepped in the camp. His breath was out of order.

"Olivia isn't feeling well." Daws said sadly. Mark looked at her who was hardly standing on her feet.

"Olivia! Please try. I know its too hard but we have no more option!" Mark sadly replied.

"I... I am alright...."She hardly said and they went outside the camp.

"Guys we have to run. Because we can expect anything,anytime from here" Alex said while looking around. They were walking very fast.

And without wasting any time,they started running. Olivia was in pain but now she wanted to save her life and also everyone's life.

"Where's the exit point????" Alis questioned while looking here and there because they were running for long but there were trees everywhere and seemed like the way out were lost.

"Oh my goodness!! How could this happen!? I just came here and checked the way out, it was there..." Mark said surprisingly while pointing towards the trees where he saw the way out just before.

"Where is that,Mark? We are asking for it?"Wills shouted .

"I don't know it was there....." He also shouted in return.

A fearful expression came to their faces.

"Guys now what are we gonna do? How can we go back home?" Rose asked them.

"I want to go back home, no matter how...!!!"Alis also said while the girls were about to cry.

"Relax! We will find way out. No need to be worry..." Daws comforted them but it wasn't the position to be comforted.

Escaping out from the forest was now just a hoax and nothing more.

"Mark you sure you saw the way out of it?" Alex questioned him seriously while Mark stared at him.

"What do you think I'm lying?" He questioned in a loud tone.

"Guys please stop fighting! It's... it's not the time to fight. We have to sit together and think about the way out of this forest. We have to control our nerves for our best." Olivia said to them and they stopped scolding and shouting.

They sat where they were standing. And look here and there for the exit.

"Guys why don't we call the police station and asked them for help!?" Wills excitedly said

"Not a bad idea! Hurry call them"

And he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number.

"Invalid sim or no sim card installed!" He received a message from the server.

"Shit!!!!" He punch his thigh.

"What happened Wills?" Alex questioned worriedly.

"There's no Sim signal" He hardly controlled his nerves.

"Look..look behind you..." Alis said while her voice was shivering.

Everyone turned back and what they saw was no less than a call of death.
