In a town in Florida, there is a odd rate of d3aths that is most odd. In the woods by the town, people have d1ed randomly, the oldest case is in 1920, when the town was first founded. The mayor's wife, Halo Vick, strolled into the forest and was gone for 2 days, until a lumberjack found her in the creek. Dead. Eyes wide open in terror of whatever they saw. From that day, the town, called Vick after the death of Halo, was best known for the rumors that Satan himself lived in the woods. Fast forward to 2024:14- year-old Ashley Smith was a gullible, easily manipulated kind of person. So, to no ones surprise (except Ashley), her brother, Max, forced her to go into said woods. As the two walked the further into the moonlit woods, Ashley started to ask if they could go back. "To late to back out now." Max said, clearly happy to see his sister so scared, Ashley then shrieked as it walked up to Max, a black silhouette on black. It was not tall, shorter than Max, and it had beady lavender eyes. Quick as light, it stroked Max with 2 long claws. His grin, which had started to become a puzzled look, was frozen on his face. He dropped to the ground. Before Ashley could run, or even yell, it touched her and her very soul was ripped from her.
