#Forest Protectors

[kropotkindersurprise]

May 10, 2024 - Hundreds of radical environmentalists and anticapitalists have broken through police lines and fences and stormed the terrain of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg. They are attempting to stop the planned expansion of the factory, which would mean the destruction of surrounding forest and farmland. The factory also uses immense amounts of water, and all to sell shitty electric cars to give people the idea that personal consumption choices can save the environment from destruction, and make fascist Elon Musk even richer than he already is. The actions in the past days have forced Tesla to temporarily shut down production at the factory. [video]

Our New Raven Dove: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: Crowface kidnaps adopts Nicky and makes him a part of the cult.

Nicky woke up, and he felt himself sitting for some reason. That's weird, because he remembers being down on something.

Or maybe that was just his imagination.

Or maybe he fell asleep standing up.

When he opened his eyes a little more, he saw that it was dark, and the room he was in was filled with dirt and rubble.

At first, he was starting to panic, but then he relaxed when he realized where he was.

He recognized this place now.

It connected to the tunnels underneath the school.

But why was he here? Did he sleepwalk here?

No, he remembered being awake.

He remembered going into the woods, looking for Crowface because he was tired of being bullied and mentally unstable and people just turning a blind eye to it. So he went into the woods to see him and ask him to kill him, and then he fell asleep.

Nicky tried getting up, but he couldn't even move an inch from the chair he sat in.

He was tied up.

That's when he really started panicking.

Just then, he noticed a couple of silhouettes standing in the shadows.

"Oh perfect, you're awake.", said one of the silhouettes.

All of them stepped out of the darkness, and Nicky wished he could curl up in fear, but he was tied up.

They were all cloaked and beaked figures, and they all looked almost similar to Crowface. But they all had black beaks, Crowface had a dark yellow beak.

"What should we do with him?", asked one of the figures.

"Nothing yet. The boss said we don't lay a finger on him until he gets back.", said another one of the figures.

Nicky looked all around the room in a panic, and he began struggling in the chair he was tied to.

He felt a hand grip his shoulder, "Stop that, young man. If you want to live, I suggest you behave.", said another one of the figures. Nicky stilled in the chair.

Just then, he saw another cloaked and beaked figure in front of him. He recognized this figure immediately. Crowface. When the figure stepped closer, he started squirming again.

"Get away from me!", Nicky screamed, "I didn't mean it when I said I wanted you to kill me, I was just so upset!"

"SILENCE, YOU LITTLE PEST!"

One of the figures raised one of their hands above their heads, but just as they were about to hit him, Crowface stepped in and grabbed their arm.

"Don't touch him.", said Crowface. "We don't touch him until I decide what to do with him. Do you understand?"

The figure nodded, and Crowface pushed them to the floor.

Crowface bent down to meet Nicky's level.

"Are you still going to kill me?", asked Nicky. "You said if I set foot into Mr. Peterson's house or the woods again, you'd kill me. So...are you going to kill me?"

He shook his head. "Not anymore, young man.", he said. "I've put a lot of thought into it, and I've decided that making you a cult member is better."

"WHAT?!"

Nicky lowered his voice, "What?", he asked again.

One of the figures spoke again, "Doesn't that sound good to you, young man?", they asked. "This cult is dead set on making our lives better than they were before."

"By making other people's lives miserable?", asked Nicky. "By killing innocent people?"

"Dear, someone has to suffer for someone else to soar.", replied the figure.

Crowface walked around the chair Nicky was tied to, "I've never had someone so young like you in my cult. But I guess I could have some type of use for you. You're quick, smart, and you hide so well, you could be invisible. You almost remind me of myself."

He stood in front of Nicky and leaned back down to him.

"If I have you on my side, I could use you."

Nicky shook his head. "Absolutely not, you freak. I won't hurt anyone for you."

All of the cloaked and beaked figures started laughing, but instead of sounding like laughter, it sounded more like crow noises. Especially Crowface.

"Of course not, child.", said the crow man. "You're too young to kill anyone, you would only be my accomplice where you stand beside me as I do my job."

Nicky shook his head and continued to struggle in the chair. "Absolutely not!", he said.

Crowface stood back up, his arms crossed. "Fine.", he growled. "I'll take you back to your house where no one is home, I'm sure all of your toxic friends miss you so much."

Nicky looked up at the crow man with shiny eyes, "What?", he said.

"Don't think I haven't noticed how your family treats you, how your friends treat you.", said the crow man. "Didn't the following weeks of how they treated you make you so angry? It's the whole reason why you even came into the woods to find me. If you join the cult, you'll be blessed with the best luck and I'll allow you to take a little secret revenge on your friends. How does that sound, young man?"

Nicky looked down at his lap. Deep down, he knew Crowface was right. His life had been extremely miserable ever since he escaped Mr. Peterson's basement, and his friends were barely his friends anymore, and his parents were barely ever around to notice his pain.

So he nodded.

"Okay.", said Nicky. "I'll join your cult, but I won't leave my home and I won't stop going to school. I still want to be able to seem like a normal kid. Understood?"

The crow man nodded. "Of course, young man."

"Good. Now let me go. It's still dark outside, and I want to get a little more sleep."

Crowface snapped his fingers and motioned for one of his members to untie him.

That was the night that Nicky became a cult member, but the crow man had decided that he would be a different type of cult member.

He wouldn't be a raven, he would be a dove.

Hello Neighbor Fanfiction:Lose your friends,lose your life

note:Random bullshit i wrote cause the ending of Season 2 made me depressed,i hope to write something better in the future but for now i wrote by my feelings,i am Sorry if this will make feel someone uncomfortable,free to Attack me in the comments honestly.This Fanfiction contains dark elements

Summary:all the members didn't took well the end of the club

Delroy

"stupid club,and stupid girl! I risked my Life for nothing" The boy groaned alone In the corner of the garden school.

When Bales for the first asked him to join the group,he was…happier than he thought.

It didn't make sense,he was one of the popular boys,he had a lot of people by his side…but for some reason…he was attracted by these weird kids…"I am just curious to know Crapface's real identity" he tried to convince himself,but it was a lie.somehow he liked the idea to be part of something…smaller…for once…a group of people that wasn't searching for popularity…a place where he could interact with real people…he thought wrong.

That club was Just a group of idiots that liked play dectetive.

He had been a idiot too,admited,he risked his Life for some random people after all.He slowly took his phone.

Gave a look at his wallpaper:himself,Dog and Finch years ago…when the things were easier…when there were people that truly cared for him…he moved to his contacts with a dark expression,and wrote "Ehy, Uncle Marvin.I am Sorry to had called you a creepy weirdo last time.Is offer of join your adult Friends group still possible to accept?"

Maritza

She knew that she would have regret what She was going to do… or maybe not,she wasn't so sure.

The only thing she was sure was that she was tired.

Tired to act tough and tired to lose who loves… the worse part was that she knew that was only her fault.

In a normal occasion she Would have blamed Someone else,but this time,this time she couldn't do it.

That only made her feel worse.

She continued to walk, her eyes now red for the too much tears,and she was tired… tired as she never been before… finally she arrived in front of the crowfaces.

"Well well well,look what we have here? The Tough girl and Little rat of her group.Are you here for trying to stop us? Take back the black book?" said one of them,while the others started to move around her.

"No." Maritza said honestly.

"No? Uh well what's your plan then? Why are you here? Taking a ride in one of the corasel?" Mocked another.

"Yes." Maritza said honestly.

The group of Crowfaces turned in silence for a moment,before one of them said "Excuse me what?"

Maritza ignored the last one.She couldn't believe she was scared of them once.

They are nothing more than some weirdos in costumes.

But in her heart she knew why she was no longer scared.

She had lost everything,they couldn't take her anything from her now.

Lucy died years ago, Aaron and Mya were missing and problably both of them were dead,she heard from the doctors that problably her mom and dad won't survive the bites of the animals, Nicky was now just a Shadow of her old dork friend and she had heard an ambulance was taking him away from the town,The inventors club had closed, Trinity hated her and she was going to leave tommorow,And her brother…her brother…she wasn't so sure he liked be her brother…Couldn't blame him thought,no one would have,everyone in the town hated her,and she couldn't blame any of them.

She took a breath.She went to the old roller coaster and She took Place.

"What are you thinking your doing?" asked another Crowface between the shock,the rage and the confusion

Maritza looked over the cult,she had a soulless smile,and…even some of the members were creeped out

"i am old enough to walk at home by myself,i am old enough to go in a roller coaster,i am old enough to see the angels and learn to fly like them"

Then she throw her old baseball bat against the lever and her cart started to move fast…too fast…

Enzo

He couldn't believe how much an idiot he was.Of all the girls he could fell in love… why of all the people Trinity? He couldn't deny…he felt guilty to have left her like that…but he started to think that She didn't saw him as boyfriend material…or friend material…no…he felt like for her he was just a stupid pawn in her hand…he have Always trusted her leadership…but she didn't look like she trusted him or even recognized his existence for something that wasn't an investigation.

he takes a deep breath,and he slowly start to remove every photo of her from his room…she looked so Happy in that photos…so different from the girl she was now…

After Trinity then looked at her sister photos,focusing especially in the ones where She was Little… when she was Happy to have him as Brother… before she became…became…THAT STUPID SELFISH BITCH.

Enzo take off all Maritza's photos with an unnatural rage he never felt before…"I did to protect you…" She had said and that only made him angrier…what does that even mean "protect you"? How give an important object to a cult is gonna keep someone safe? True,he didn't know the full story,but that wasn't his fault…she refused to talk to him about it like she Always does…now in a new stage of rage he destroy the last photo at the wall,one where a toddler Maritza was smiling,a true innocent smiling that slowly in the years had turned in a stupid sarcastic one.

"Hope to not see that stupid smile on your stupid face ever again sister.I hate you"

He had no idea that in the next morning…he would have cried and cried after realizing he would have never see that smile ever again

Ivan

"Dear diary… 1°day of the inventors club.OH EVERYTHING IS SO AMAZING! Oh i have so much to write here.Lucy and I are excited,our dream finally became true,we have ressurect this old club and now we are ready to turn it into the best club ever"

"Dear Diary…15° day of the inventors club, finally new members had joined.Enzo and Maritza Esposito.Oh i can't wait to show them all my skills, finally i can find new Friends"

"Dear Diary…1461° day of the inventors club,A New member arrived,her name is Trinity,she looks very smart,even if i am worry Nicky could make her investigate with him….please Nicky be reasonable"

Ivan was Reading and listening his old diaries… He Always wrote this diaries since the first day of the club…and he continued to do it day by day…his diaries grown up with him…from the paper they turned digital but they were still there.

He never skipped a day of the club Just for Always have a diary to write,that led multiple times in him going to school sick, Maritza calling him an idiot and gave him a banklet.

he couldn't believe It really ended here…the inventors club had closed.

Forever this time.He couldn't believed that was happening.

The inventors club had been his second home…his second safe Place…his first group of Friends…

He Remember the day Lucy died and Enzo tried to made feel him better…

he Remembered the day he met Nicky for the first time and he had showed him every part of the club…

he Remembered every single day in the club…

His parents promised him that they Would have found an High level science group for make him feel better…but for the first time,the idea of learning new smart things and school didn't made him feel better…he just wanted his friends back.

"Ivan,honey.Dinner Is ready" called his mom

Before he joint his parents at the table he took his phone and start to recorder his voice

"Dear Diary…1521° day of the inventors club… the club closed,i think this is a goodbye…"

Nicky

"PLEASE!PLEASE!LET ME GO,PLEASE!HE IS COMING!"

he tried to willing out,cried,he prayed,he called for help… but nobody came…This was the end…he had no escape…he was coming…HE WAS COMING! The room turned dark and he started to hear it again…the breath…not his breath…but one much more sinister…one diabolical…and soon…The Shadow man arrived and looked at him with his hollow expression that didn't look fit at the tone of his voice

"Nicholas"

"PLEASE PLEASE STOP STOP STOP-" Nicky cried

The Shadow man however had other intentions,he shapeshifted into Aaron

"Why stop Nicky? Our game just started" said the fake version of his best friend,just for shapeshift in his grandmother.

"hope you realize this is all your fault boy.I had warned you,and look where you are now.No friends,no family,no one that Will save you.You cursed your soul,you did this to yourself"

"STOP PLEASE!STOP!LET HIM GO" continued to pray Nicky.He didn't want this as ending.HE WANTED A GOOD ENDING!HE WANTED AARON,HE WANTED HIS FRIENDS,HE WANTED HIS FAMILY! HE JUST WANTED HELP WITH MR PETERSON'S CASE? WHAT DID HE DO WRONG?

the Shadow man shapeshifted into Mr Peterson.

"you know what? You right.Our game would turned boring if we just stay here,i want Hunt you but i want have fun haunting you"

suddently…the ambulance crushed… and Nicky was free…he looked at himself to see if he had any bad injury but the Shadow man suddently started to shapeshift again…this time becoming bigger

"you are the prey here, Nicholas" he said with a corrupted voice.

Nicky went to panic,he started to run,and run,and run in a near wood,that unfortunately he could tell it wasn't a forest from Raven Brooks.He continued to run however,and he wasn't sure if he would have ever stopped

Trinity

"PLEASE SOMEONE! SOMEONE LET ME GO"

cried Trinity already knewing no one would have respond…she had no idea how much time had passed…her phone had fell out of her pocket before…she could just wait and hope that someone would have arrived…but she almost started to hope that no one will arrived.

This was the exactly punishment she deserved.

She had failed as a leader,she had failed as a daughter,she had failed as a person and most important… she had failed as a friend.

She Remembered that in her old town people called her "freak-nity"…she didn't know why she was thinking of that now but she felt the kids had right about her.She thought of all her friends… Now she has Lost all of them…

"guys…i am Sorry"

Then,in a desperate act,she took Nicky's mask… and she wore it… hoping that she would have feel better …

Hours later a police officer found her, laying on the floor with the mask.the mask didn't make her feel better.

Stay.Hide.Forever.Darkness.

Stay.Hide.Forever.Darkess.

Stay.Hide.Forever.Darkness.

Hello Neighbor Tag-Team

A brand new Hello Neighbor Game Idea that must happen.

So I was thinking about this cool idea for a Hello Neighbor game. You see after that Nicky's Diary game and seeing how each of the cutscenes were based on the actual lore of book one, I was thinking why not continue that trend. You see it was frustrating how the games were too abstract and didn't give off enough story and context on what is happening, so for this game what needs to be done is to base some of the events on more of the books. Maybe check on a few things from the books too. As for gameplay, here's how I feel like this should work. The events of the game will take place in between act 1 and 2. Only, instead of playing as Nicky Roth in all those games we play as either Maritza, Enzo, and Trinity who are trying to find clues leading to Nicky. We can also play as Finch, Delroy, and Ivan too.

There are several different places we should venture to. I mean yeah, Peterson's house on some occasions, maybe even make it a final level perhaps, but apart from that, there is the Golden Apple Park, The golden Apple Factory, The Forest, the Natural Grocer, and the Town Square of Raven Brooks.

Now as for enemies, we of course have Mr. Peterson, but we also have Officer Keith, a security Guard, Forest Protectors, the Guest, Mrs. Tillman, a Golden Apple Construction Worker, and Officer Leslie.

As for the cutscenes, most of them will be based off of the books and have an actual expansion and some context on what's actually happing in Raven Brooks.

Also, it would be cool to have a DLC where we play as Aaron Peterson and learn deeper about his past.

I would love for someone to make this a reality or use this idea for a mod. Seriously, someone please use this idea.

We Can Use Her: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: A forest protector meeting.

P.S., before you guys get all up in my business, I'm convinced these guys are forest protectors.

"She's onto us!", screamed Valeria.

There was a meeting going on in the Raven Brooks woods. Valeria Abanate, Gerda, Mayor Tavish, Officer Leslie, and Mr. Murtaugh were there.

While this may seem like a normal meeting to anyone, they were really a cult who were in the middle of a genius plan...that's currently getting foiled by a little girl named Trinity Bales.

"Valeria, calm down, would you?", said Leslie, seeming bored.

"No, Leslie, I will not calm down. Our plans are getting foiled by a little girl who doesn't even know what she's doing! And what's worse is that she's dragging along her little friends too.", she rambled.

"I'm with Valeria on this.", said Gerda. "If word gets out about anything, we'll all be ruined. You heard what happened to Theodore. If a bunch of kids could put that psycho in jail, then who knows what'll happen to us if she finds out about us!"

Mayor Tavish pressed his temple like it hurt. "You're not wrong. She may be smart for her age, but she's still a dumb little child. All of them are."

"Oh yeah? Could dumb little children survive a bear trap?!", Mr. Murtaugh asked rhetorically.

They all busted out into an argument, talking over each other. Everyone's breaths stilled when they heard a whoosh sound coming from the distance, and then they saw the crow man.

"Now now, let's stop this childish argument, please? We're adults, so let's act like it.", said the crow man.

Everyone stopped talking and looked down at their feet.

"Good. Good."

Leslie spoke up, "Listen, Crowface. You know what she did. She is onto us. That girl went through all of that bullshit to save her boyfriend, and now she's onto us. Most specifically, you."

Crowface walked slowly behind everyone, "Yes, I'm very aware. But I let her know that if she loses that special little coin, she's done for. You remember the real estate lady, and the hardware store employee? Yes, they were warned, but they didn't listen.", he said. "My point is that while we're aware she knows our secrets, she doesn't know who we are behind these masks."

"And she never will.", said Gerda. "Let's just kill her."

Crowface put his hand up, silencing the baker. "No.", he said, slowly putting his hand down. "We can use her instead."

Everyone was confused.

"What do you mean?", asked Mayor Tavish.

"If Theodore was able to break Roth's mind, then we should be able to break hers. We'll make that little girl go insane, and in the blink of an eye, she'll betray all of her little friends and they'll all turn up dead."

Everyone followed along, nodding at each other, agreeing with the crow man.

"But what about the boy?", asked Leslie.

Crowface let out a deep, small, rumbly laugh. "Oh don't you worry.", he said. "I'll make sure the boy doesn't say a word."

[ghduck]

Who do you blame for the Peterson kids losing their Friendships?

1)Enzo and Maritza

2)Theo

3)Forest protectors

Well, I'd say the forest protectors mostly. They were the ones that killed Lucy (I read somewhere that they were supposed to kill Mya), which her death was the result of the damaged friendships.

Although, Aaron and Mya's friends at the time did turn on them and blamed them for the bad luck, so a little bit of the first and last option.

But mostly the last.

A Hello Neighbor Fanfiction: 31th October 1954,Raven Brooks

Note:Contains Death,Abuse and things like this

Summary:Gerda hadn't Always been the local baker and Forest protectors.Before that she was one of the bullies of the inventors club...and even before that...she was just a normal girl, that was forced to deal with big stuff,too big for her.

Principal's office-12 a.m

"Please sit down,Ms Baker" said the principal

She could tell by his voice's tone that she was in bigger trouble than usual.Not that she could really blame him for that after all,while he was a kind Person he was still a principal and that was the sixth time she was sent at his office in Just a month.New record.

Gerda sit in silence,just hoping she won't hurt him too

"Ms Baker,i hope you know why are you here" said the principal cleary dissapointed,instead of angry as she thought at first,that only made her feel even more guilty.

"i broke the nose to Andy Johnson and i have almost choked him" she said with a tone of voice between shame and guilty

He nods,now cleary more frustated "Gerda… you are a really smart girl for your age,and from what i heard from your teachers you are also very kind and polite… however your "angry issues " are a real problem.We have talked multiple times Gerda,but everytime you Always come back here.Please Gerda…tell me…why are you doing this? Why do you have these angry issues?…And if don't worry,this conversation will stay between me and you,i won't tell anything to your parents" he adds quickly seeing the girl scared expression

"I…I don't know for sure sir" Said Gerda still nervous. "Gerda…please, everytime i ask you this question you Always avoid to answer…i won't force you to answer,but i think it could be help you a lot" Gerda took a breath. "I…i… sometimes i just feel an uncontrable rage…this is clear to everyone but…i feel it's problably worse…my rage… doesn't matter how much time i supress it…i am not enough strong to control It…when someone hurt me…or my Friends…i lose control…i Just wanna hurt…make them suffer…" Gerda explained.Fortunately for her holding back the tears was her biggest skill cause she could tell she could have easily cried right now.

"From what i heard mr Johnson had made fun of your family and Mr Rossi's one too for your,humile origins…is that true" Asked The principal with patience.

Gerda simply nods,praying in silence that the principal kind soul didn't left him right in this Moment

"Listen Gerda,i had the chance to see you are really nice girl and i have no intention to give up with you.However i hope you understand that your rage is a serious problem.I Will help you if you need, however if this happens again next time there will be consequences…hope you understand Gerda" He said slowly and calmly

"Thank you sir,this is even more than what i deserve." Gerda said meeting the eyes of the principal for the first time.

The principal gave her a comforting smile and,hoping to cheer her up,he gives her some candies "You can go Gerda,i don't think any kid would like spend the halloween night at school.Even if i bet the math tests are scarier than any other monster"

That made Gerda giggle a Little, She accepted the candies and slowly got out from the office

Gerda's house- 7:pm

"SHUT UP YOU STUPID MAN AND CLOSE YOUR FUCKING MOUTH"

"LEARN YOUR PLACE IN THIS FAMILY WOMAN!"

Gerda was hiding herself under the table, trying to avoid being hit by a flying plate again,her scars were already enough.Her parents were fighting and She has no intention to be in the middle of their brawl ever again, especially not with her halloween costume that risked to be broken.Arlo and Wally would have arrived soon.When she heard the doorbell,she ran outside before her parents could yells against her for every possible reason.

"Ehy guys" said Gerda at her two best friends.Arlo was wearing a pumpkin as a mask, with some farmer shirt that he proudly said have stolen from His dad old wardrobe.Wally instead,as every year,decided to wear a costume based on the Raven Man, the stupid local legend

"seriously Gerd? We already looked stupid without your stupid alien costume, didn't you have anything better?" Asked Wally annoyed

"Oh shut up already Wally,not all of us have enough money for waste them in some other costume" She rolled her eyes

"guys,guys, guys,PLEASE!i skipped dinner just for have enough space for the candies.Can we stop arguing and start our research before someone else steal them" implored Arlo

"Yeah sure Arl,we need to move"

So the trio moved to the first house.No candies for them.So they moved to the second house.No candies for them.So they trued the third,the fourth,the fifth,the sixth, and all the houses in Raven Brooks.Still no candies.

"Oh Come on,HOW IT IS POSSIBLE?" Gerda kicked a trashcan in frustation.

"The other kids must have did Trick or Treath before us,i bet it was Marvin,That dirty bastard" responded Wally.

"EHY WALLY!I told you my mom doesn't like swearing so please stop it" said Arlo. "Your mom isn't here." "Still doesn't want me to listen swears."

While Arlo and Wally continued to argue about swearings Gerda noticed Something…or someone…in the woods.

"Ehy,do you see that person over there too?" Asked at her friends. "uh…Oh yes,it's look like have a similar costume to mine,what is he doing in the woods?" asked Wally

"Do you think they could have some candies to share" Arlo cheers filled with new hopes,That made Gerda giggles a Little.

"Well there is only a Way to find out"She tried to lead the way but Wally stopped her" "Woah Gerds,do you seriously i think it's a good idea? Go during night in the forest i mean…." "Wow,the Great Wally Smith is scared of some trees?" she friendly teased her friend. "What?I am not!Never mind,Let's Chase that man!" "Said like that seems we are making a crime" "Shut up Arlo! You want the candies so bad? Then let's go!" Gerda couldn't help but chuckle to her Friends discussing. "Come on Raven and Pumpink kids,If we move fast enough we should be able to reach him"

…

They weren't fast enough, they had lost too much time talking,and as it wasn't enough Arlo got stuck between the poison ivy two times.

They had even reach the new church that will be build pretty soon.However the person was nowhere.

"great,we Lost it.Say goodbye to pur chance to have candies" Said Gerda dissapointed.

"AHHHHHHHHH" "Arlo i swear, if you sre stuck again in the pois-" Wally stop talking,Arlo wasn't anywhere.The two Friends started to panic.

"Arlo!Arlo!" Yelled Gerda, feeling the anxious growing quickly. "Ehy look!" Wally pointed a very deep hole in the floor "GUYS!GUYS! DO YOU HEAR ME? HELP!" Arlo's voice arrived from below.

"WE ARE COMING!" Gerda took Wally's hand and they jumped. After their fall, they found themself in a strange room.It was full of golden shining coins,Arlo was in the floor in pain. "Gerda,give a look at the room, I try to see if Arlo can walk at all" said Wally with a serious tone in contrast to his normal personality,that didn't matched at all. She stand up and look at the coins,then with a quick move put it some in her bag.She felt like a thief but after all her family had too much financy problems while whoever owned these coins was problably rich,he wouldn't have mind.

she decided that only if she would have find the owner she would have give them back.

Then her eyes moved on an old broken door

"Guys i think i have found the exit,Arlo can you walk?" "Y-yeah,it hurts a Little but i can"

The trio slowly opened the door but they then stopped at the sight of the person in costume before… with many many others

"Seriously, is my costume so unoriginal?" Wally Whispers.

But then they all stopped,they were trying to listen what they were saying but it was very difficult.However the few words they listened… were only making them feel worse.

"genocide" "Our lord" "Flood" "Physical form"…every word worse than the other...

"Guys,we must escape from here,let's return back and find another exi-"

"KYAAAAAH" A raven were looking and screaming at the trio.All the creepy weirdos turn around to look at them "RUN"Gerda screamed.

They tried to return back,but Arlo's leg was too hurt for running,He strumble making all the children fall on the floor,and the weirdos in Raven Mask had took Wally,and one of them put their hand on his Neck

"please… please…please stop it" implored Wally,his breath was rapidly faiding and the weirdo grasp was becoming stronger

"L-Let him g-go…p-please" Gerda implored but no one them gave her even a look

"p-please… please…" She tried again,her frustation growing.But they still ignored,And Gerda was Just even more in panic,until…her rage and frustration took over her mind. She push the weirdo against the wall.

"LEAVE" Gerda punched so hard the weirdo that the mask fell off, revealing she had made the man's nose bleed "US" She gave him another punch,his face was becoming purple and he was looking at her like he was praying her mercy "ALONE!" Without control Gerda…broke the man's neck,she realized what she did just too late.She had killed a man.

The room turned in silence,.Wally,Arlo or even the other weirdos didn't said anything,and Gerda could only imagine in fear what her Friends's faces could be under the Masks.What was worse Is that…she felt powerfull for the first time in her life, and this strange feeling was now mixed with her sense of guilty.She started to cry.

As the situation wasn't enough tragic a new voice shattered the air

"LET HER STAY! FEED ME WITH THE OTHERS''FRESH" the voice said.Gerda turned pale,looking at her Friends and at the raven weirdos.in panic she tried to find a way to escape,but there was any other door. "HERE" Wally took Gerda and Arlo by their hand and they quickly entered into vent.They moved faster than they could in that Little place and then After some minutes…they were out.Again in the woods. "WE ARE ALIVE" Yelled happy Arlo. But it was too soon to talk…A storm… One of the worse storm that Raven Brooks would have ever seen…arrived.The skyes turned quickly purple and the clouds covered the starlight.And before anyone could say anything the wind's Strenght separate the three Friends. "GUYS" was the last thing Gerda had said before she hit her against a tree, making her feel unconscious

????-????

She woke up, don't knowing where was she…but it looked…like an hospital

"you are a tough girl i see,you woke up pretty fast"A man in a police suit was at the right of the bad

"W-what happened? Who are you? Where are my friends" Gerda had millions of questions to ask Fortunately the young police officer didn't look bored

"Pleasure to meet you Gerda,I am Keith.You fell unconscious during the Storm and i rescued you.As for your friends…the police department Is still looking for them" Keith said with patience. Gerda turned pale…Arlo and Wally…where were they?did that strange group of people…

"Listen Gerda,i won't force you to speak with me…but if you are comfortable, please,i need to know what happened the last night"

Gerda started to sweat in panic at the Question.

She stayed in silence.

She was scared of every possible consequences.

She had killed a man and in part enjoyed it,she had found a some type of creepy cult,she had stole coins… She was scared…it was her fault,she had convince them to go to the woods…and now they were missing.Her skin turned pale.

As if Keith could read her thoughts,or at least her emotions,left the room giving her personal space.Now All Alone Gerda started to cry,and cry,and cry… without realizing…a raven was looking at her from the hospital Window.
