The Woods And Eyes
It was a normal day like any other. Me and my friends went to school, met up afterschool to play games, and left to go home. We had been   bored of our normal routine and decided to explore around our neighboorhood. One of my friends, we’ll call her Allison, is a bit of a fiesty person who likes doing dangerous things. My other friend, we’ll call him Jacob, is more shy and reserved but will still go along with dumb stuff we do. It’s just what he does. Me on the other hand I’m kind of a mixture of both. I’ll go along with some dumb ideas but will sometimes be the parent of the group.

We had decided to go to the lake that nearby our school then make a pit stop to a nearby ice-cream grill place. We all brought our fishing rods and buckets just incase we got lucky or saw something. I brought a camera, fishing rods, a bucket, and my phone to record if one of us fell in or something. We sat on the ledge of the wooden dock and started to fish. A few more hours, I’d say about 3 we had a good load of fish and other creatures in our buckets and started to head to the other place. We asked the man up front to cook the fish and ordered 2 chocolate and 1 mint ice cream. After that he handed us our fish and ate at a table nearby. We talked about random things until sunset came. We all knew it was dangerous to stay out late and we walked each other home one by one dropping each other off, never splitting up. Eventually it came to just me and I facetimed my friends so they could make sure I got home safe.

The next day, we came into class early with few students reading or playing games or talking with their friends. We talked about how fun yesterday was until we heard a nearby conversation that sounded creepy. It went something like this.

” ‘ Did you hear about the news? They said they haven’t found the yellow eyed killer yet. ‘ “

” ‘ It happened yesterday, right? I heard they were a student here. ‘ “

” ‘ Yeah, to be honest I think it was the quite kid. You know how they always are. ‘ “

” ‘ I heard they went into the woods and struck again last night on some group of kids that went around pranking people. ‘ “

The conversation slowly began the freak us out seeing as how we were out last night and lived close by the woods. We then began to make dark humor jokes about how it could be us next and we would be the next ghost story. We all laughed thinking it was some prank the “killer” was also in on just to get fame. There was however some serious tension about the though of it though. Allison asked if we wanted to explore tonight just to prove the theories wrong.

” ‘ Absolutely not! I’m not risking my life for some entertainment.. scare.. joke.. whatever Al. ‘ “

“ ‘ Why? Are you scared. ‘ “ she teased.

” ‘ I’d rather be scared than dead. And I don’t want any of you going to that forest because gosh darn it I am not loosing you if this is real. ‘ “

” ‘ Whatever. ‘ “ Allison groaned, turning away.

” ‘ I’m serious do not go. I will tell your parents your on drugs if you do. ‘ “

” ‘ Alright alright fine. I guess your my parent now. ‘ “

Jacob laughed quietly as he had been sort of quiet this whole time.

“ ‘ Yeah Allison. I’m not trying to see you on the news ‘cause you got slashed or something. ‘ “ Jacob said half-joking.

We all laughed as more of the class started to pour in and we continued with our day. We went straight home but this time decided to stay together and tell our parents we are staying over until they could pick us up. We sat on the couch playing multiplayer games then cleaned up our area when it was time for one of us to leave. Allison had left because her mom picked her up, and now it was me and jacob watching popular youtubers. I decided since he was still I’d draw jacob. He had medium skin with short light cool brown hair, and amber eyes. I finished early as it was only his face I was doing. After I had finished drawing him, his dad came to pick up and we said our goodbyes. I noticed that once Jacob left, Allison had called me so I decided to call her back but it went to voicemail. When everyone was gone and my parents were upstairs, I heard a rustle outside. A wounded fox came out with one of it’s legs bitten and some flesh was torn. It was holding something in it’s mouth. When I went outside the fox was gone and I assumed it just ran off. I guess It was one of those moments where your brain tries to reason with panic and fear but I didn’t question it and headed back in. Then I got a text from both of my friends saying, “don’t look” spelled in a weird font. I opened my phone and went to my messages but it was gone. I was thinking if I should tell my parents or ask my friends but just as I was about to head upstairs I get a text from Allison.

“ Hey are you still with Jacob? “ the text read.

” No, he went home with his dad. “ I responded.

She then took another minute only to reply frantically with a series of questions.

“ His dad said he never came home. Are you sure you saw him leave? Should we call the cops? Did you tell your parents? “ She continued to ask questions until I sent a reply back calming her down.

” I’ll call him, relax. Although after I have something weird to tell you that I think might be slightly connected to this. “

I called Jacob, sweat rolling down my face as I start to panic at the messages, Jacob leaving, and that fox. Was I sure that car was his dad’s car? As I call him I just keep thinking about rational answering but keep going back to that story the students kept telling about the “yellow eyed-killer.” Finally on the 3rd call the phone picked up, but I only heard what sounded like tree branches snapping, leaves crunching, and a faint static. I invited Allison and my parents on the call to hear what I was hearing but the invite button along with all the others were gone. I asked if this was Jacob and there was no response, but whoever it was on the other end had stopped moving and hung up. Now I was very nervous, the fact that someone other than Jacob picked up the phone made me want to vomit.

I quickly lifted the phone from my ears and began to text Allison when I looked up again. It was that same fox except this time I saw it better, it was holding Jacob’s phone. I knew this because Jacob was the only person I knew to decorate his phonecase black with blue flames sticking out the top and a dual sword painted on the bottom. I sighed in relief thinking that the fox must have picked up his phone, mistaken it for food, and called me. Allison had begun to text me asking if I called him yet and I told her about how he left and must have dropped his phone, but then I paused. Why was his phone in the woods?

I felt my stomach drop as I know I saw him get in the car.

“ We have to call the police, he’s in the woods with the killer. “ I texted quickly.

” Why- you know what, I won’t ask questions. Tell your parents and call the police. “ she responded back.

I was glad she didn’t question it so that we didn’t waste time. I put my phone on the charger, told my parents the story and the called the police. Eventually a search team came and we went into the woods. I was explaining the weird texts, the fox, the car, and the rumor of the killer. Just then someone yelled that they had found something and we all rushed over to see, praying it wasn’t Jacob’s corpse.

It was a torn up version of the school uniform of what he was wearing, but only small bits and his neck tie. We began to worry and call out his name louder. After a few calls I heard someone yell back my name. They started to get closer and it was Jacob but parts of his clothes were slashed and he was bleeding a little from the shoulder.

“ ‘ Jacob what happened, I thought you left in a car! ‘ “ I asked.

“ ‘ I did but it turns out it was just some guy who stopped to take a phone call. He asked me if I was ok because I just hopped in like I was in a rush and then dropped me off near a bus stop. I tried to call you but some fox stole my phone and ran off. And then I got lost and injured my knee, but then I saw something. Or someone. It was just 2 fully yellow eyes, and then a guy he looked about 14, stepped into the light and I saw he had a mask on. He wore a brown jacket with black jeans and boots and I think I saw our school shirt underneath. He spoke in a weird, soft, yet unsettling voice telling me he was harmless and that he’s just lost. I almost believed him but I saw a knife covered in I think was blood and I ran away. He got a few hits on me but he climbed into the trees when he heard you yelling. Either way I think he’d still here so we should leave. ‘ “ he explained.

Just then we heard a rustle in the leaves above and quiet ticking. For some reason I wanted to scream, cry, vomit, or run away but my body was frozen. We heard a heavy thud before looking behind us and seeing one of the search volunteers dead on the ground with the outline of where her heart should be, gone. We shuddered in fear before seeing another one drop to the ground this time a male with his head removed. My legs started to shake as Jacob, Allison, the other volunteers, and I all decided to run with my parents having to help me move because I was frozen in fear. Just then I saw wanted to look back, and I saw him, just barely. Standing with a menacing grin playing with weapon, then went back into the trees. Something told me I would be next, and I vomitted when we got out the woods. Everyone else was in shock reacting to many things, I turned around half reggretting going in there but also wondering what could have happened to Jacob if he didn’t run. I became scared of walking to school alone and sometimes got on Jacob or Allison’s bus just in case. I learned that the killer’s name was Axoe Woods who had been in our class before but got kicked out due to getting angry and attempting murder on one of his hated people. I didn’t know much or didn’t pay much attention to Axoe before but whenever we talked he was always nice to me so I’m not sure why he did it. Either way I’m glad we made it out alive.

I decided to draw what Jacob described and what I saw that day.
