As i lay in bed, my eyes get heavier with every blink. The warmth of the fire and the blanket keeps me from freeezing. As i look up at the wooden ceiling my eyes close down. “Jessica!” I immediantly jump out of bed as i hear my name called from outside. I grab my phone from my bedside table and the time reads, 5:55am. I run to the window next to my bed and rip the blinds out of the way. All i can see is the dark woods, is their someone out there? I run out of my room and grab one of my kitchen knifes. As i slowly open the door i say “Hello?” Their is no response. I then turn on my porch lights and wait for a bit before reapeting myself, “Hello!” Nothing. It must have been in my head, maybe i was still dreaming, somehow. I then cautiously turn off the porch lights and go back inside. I lock my door and walk back to my room, still clutching the knife. I then close my curtains and lay my knife on my bedside table. I switch off the lights and go back to bed. As i wake up i check the time on my phone, 8:32am. I slowly get out of bed and check out my window, nothing. I start making myself breakfast when i remember how familiar the voice sounded, like i have heard it before but i can’t pinpoint who. Once I finish my breakfast i walk outside to look for footprints or any sign of someone being there. It sounded like he called out close, but I can’t find anything. “Must of been a vivid dream or something.” As the sun begins to set i hop back into my bed and begin to drift off. “Jessica!!!” I then jump out of bed once again and grab my knife. I immediantly run outside and scream “Who’s there!” I then run back inside to grab my flashlight to begin searching. I get about two feet from the house where the dark empty forest in front of me send shivers up my spine. Who knows what could be out there. I then quickly turn back and run back inside, locking the door and i run to lock all the window. It was much louder this time, i check my phone and the time is 5:55am. The same time? What the fuck is going on. This time i decide to call the police, leaving in a cottage in the woods makes it hard to access so i only call the police in big emergency’s. 7:00am the police cars begin to pull out and begin to start fading into the distance. Am i going crazy? They found nothing. I lean on my porch pillar with coffee in hand, still dressed in my night gown. As the day goes by i can’t help but think if im going insane or not, twice at the same time, that can’t be a coincidence. It was louder this time as well. As sunset ends darkness falls over the sky. I now sleep with everything locked and my phone and knife next to me. “JESSICA!!!” My body jolts out of bed, now knowing their has to be someone there i grab my knife and phone and run to the kitchen, i then hide behind the counter, i look out at the door. I then hear a loud creek come from the porch, i open my phone to call the police. The time reads 5:55am. As i try and call them my phone has no signal. “Fuck!” I immediantly cover my mouth as i said this louder than intended. As i sit their behind the counter i begin to fall asleep, as I have barley gotten any sleep over the past few days. Trying to keep my eyes open my head flops down. I feel a searing pain in the side of my head and warm liquid begins bellowing down onto my hands and pants. It’s blood. As i try to move my body falls to the ground, I realise when my head flopped down it stabbed into the knife i was holding. As lay on the ground the knife sticking out the side of my head, i start to close my eyes. They blink for bit as i try to keep them open but they eventually close down, for good.

-Epilouge

“Sherif, there has been another death.”

“Another one?!”

“I don’t know if this is a coincidence but all the victims described hearing voices calling out their name. And they all lived out in the woods.”

“And they all suffered horrific deaths, what is going on?”
