In a Violent Nature

In the deep, whispering woods of a forgotten forest, an old fire‑tower tomb looms like a relic of past tragedies. Its weathered stones hold a rusted locket that locals speak of only in hushed tones, a silent promise that some relics are best left undisturbed. The landscape itself feels alive—tall pines that sway with secrets, mist that clings to the ground, and an ever‑present sense that the past is never truly buried.

A tight‑knit group of teenagers arrives for what should be a carefree weekend, each bringing a distinct edge to the dynamic. Troy carries a restless curiosity that often propels him toward the forbidden, while Ehren provides the uneasy folklore that keeps the fire crackling with uneasy stories. Aurora moves with quiet confidence, her steady presence soothing the more jittery members, and Brodie adds a playful counterpoint that masks a deeper unease. Colt and Evan argue over the smallest details, their bickering a comic relief that thinly veils the mounting tension, and Kris watches everything from the periphery, her observant nature hinting at an inner resilience.

When the locket is taken, it awakens a presence long held at bay—Johnny, a spirit whose fury is anchored in a decades‑old tragedy. The air shifts, and the woods seem to close in as an invisible weight settles over the camp. The group’s laughter fades, replaced by a shivering anticipation that something unseen is circling, waiting to test the bonds they thought unbreakable.

What begins as a simple escape into nature quickly becomes a test of courage and camaraderie. The forest’s shadows conceal more than just trees, and every rustle suggests a hidden watchfulness. As night deepens, the teenagers must navigate both the external wilderness and the growing dread within, discovering that the true horror may lie not in what hunts them, but in the secrets they carry with them.
