They looked older than you: wiser, scarier. They towered above you like you were some kind of bug they could squish with the bottom of their shoe anytime they'd like. And technically, they could. You were strapped down, immobile, and they seemingly had a cart full of torture devices.
The blonde Creepypasta that had originally dragged you here in the first place was no longer beside you to provide protection.
What were you going to do?
Escaping wasn't an option, was it?
You stared in horror as one of the boy's hands gripped the bloody scissors tightly and brought it close to your face.

Adrenaline rushed through your veins as you ran, in a direction, any direction, until you reached a point where there was nothing but trees and leaves.
They can't find me here, you thought.
And so, with your heart still beating as hard as a drum, you collapsed, hiding in a pile of leaves.
