The darkness of the night covered the sky. It was dark everywhere. The dense green, barren trees of the forest looked quite scary in the darkness of the night. There was a tent of stars in the black sky that were shining like lights. There was silence in every corner of the forest. Then suddenly a sound appeared that destroyed the beautiful silence of this forest.
"Kling kling"
It was the sound of a bicycle whistle that was going very fast. Breathing quickly, Caspian turned his head back and saw the view behind him with his eyes, where darkness was covered but here and there electric lights were on. Behind him were some other people who were sitting on bicycles and coming towards Caspian at a very fast speed. Seeing them coming closer to him, Caspian took a deep breath and looked ahead. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead and face. His feet were on the pedals that he was riding very fast.
"You guys will be left behind even more, look now"
As he said this with a smile full of excitement and laughter, he increased the speed of his feet on the pedals, which increased the speed of his bicycle even more. Caspian, in a state of joy, quickly moved forward and went quite far, overtaking others on the road in the middle of the forest.
While riding the bicycle quickly, Scarlett's white face furrowed her eyebrows as she ruthlessly bit the corners of her orange lips with her teeth. As if she was not feeling well, she was angry. At the same time, Aydin, who was riding the bicycle, who was trying to get ahead of the others, looked at Scarlett's angry face. Seeing Scarlett like this, Aydin's lips smiled with excitement.
"Scarlett, don't tire yourself out so much, even if you lose this race, don't worry because Caspian and I won't make you do any more work than you do."
Hearing such words from Aiden's mouth, Scarlett started gritting her teeth hard. She started looking at Aiden with her eyes that were angry and critical, widening their eyes and looking at Aiden.
"Yes, as if I don't know you and Caspian at all"
While answering Aiden like this, Scarlett increased the speed of her legs that were pedaling the bicycle and she overtook Aiden. Seeing Scarlett going ahead, laughing, Aiden said loudly in an excited voice...
"Scarlett, I won't make you do any more work than you do, just do all my school homework, carry my belongings and obey everything I say in school"
Scarlett, who had gone far ahead of Aiden, turned her face back, her eyebrows furrowed. Aydin's words seemed to put her in a bad mood. Closing all the fingers of her hand in a fist, she raised only her middle finger in front of Aydin..
"Not even in your dreams, you bastard"
As soon as she said this, she moved forward. Aydin laughed after hearing her words and started shaking his head. Another friend of hers, Elias, who was cycling with her, was bored after listening to Scarlett and Aydin's words. Because this was not their first verbal argument, they had always fought like this, but then they also became friends quickly. Elias took a deep breath and started shaking his head left and right as if he was tired of listening to the words of both of them.
"Aiden, stop teasing him, who knows, he might be serious this time"
"What, haha, I don't care if he gets angry, I will do what my heart wants, even if it breaks someone's heart, someone is seriously angry or someone wants to leave me, I will do what my heart wants"
While pedaling the bicycle with their feet on the pedals, a smooth gust of cold air fell on Aydin and Elias. All the trees in the forest started shaking slowly with the breeze. The deserted trees, which had dry leaves hanging on with great difficulty, fell and started flying in the air with the breeze.
Elias, who should have been a little upset or angry to hear Aydin's words, was neither upset nor surprised because he knew Aydin well. They had been friends for many years. Elias knew that Aydin was a person who only cared about himself and his own feelings. He would say anything in front of anyone without thinking. Then whether it hurt someone's heart or angered someone severely, it didn't matter to him.
"Yes, I know what kind of person you are. Now move forward with speed, otherwise she will win this race from you."
The hand placed on the handlebars of the bicycle, which he had been holding normally until now, suddenly started to hold it tightly. Aydin's face had a different expression as if he wanted to win this race at all costs.
The feet placed on the pedals, which he was continuously running, increased the speed of his feet even more, which made him overtake Elias.
As soon as Aydin got a little ahead of Elias and was riding his bicycle. Elias, who was watching him from behind, also started to increase his speed. Everything was right when suddenly a loud sound appeared, as if someone had fallen off his bicycle. Hearing this sound, surprise appeared on the faces of both friends. They pressed the brakes of their bicycles hard, which made their bicycles stop suddenly, making a noise on the road.
"What was that sound like?"
Elias's tone was normal, but there was surprise in his eyes, worry on his face, and fear in his heart. Has something happened to someone?Aydin looks ahead with his eyes wide open, there was a straight road in front of him, which was empty, surrounded by green trees.
Apart from the light on the road, there was nothing else in the place, it was dark all around. Aydin, as if he had been shocked to his place after hearing that voice, just kept looking ahead with his surprised eyes. Elias, who was behind Aydin, seeing Aydin standing silently without saying anything, called Aydin's name loudly...
"Aydin...."
Hearing the name loudly, Aydin regained his senses, he quickly turned his head back and as if he was about to say something to Elias..
"Why are you so loud..." when suddenly
"Aydin!!!! Elias!!!!"
They heard a scream, hearing the scream, Aydin immediately looked ahead...
"That scream is Scarlett..." As soon as Elias was about to open his mouth to say something..
"Aydin, what are you talking about..." Suddenly, Aydin put his left foot on the pedal of his bicycle and started pedaling hard and without listening to Elias, he immediately started riding his bicycle quickly and rushed away from there.
Seeing Aydin leaving without listening to him, Elias shouted...
"You bastard, listen to me completely sometime"
Finding himself alone in this deserted forest, deserted path and seeing Aydin walking away from him, he felt strange. He felt a gentle breeze on his face. The brown hair on his head started moving slowly with the breeze. He looked around where there was silence. Is an enemy better than a friend like you, you bastard?
"Bastard, how did you leave me here alone?"
Ilyas pushed the pedals with his feet and started pedaling the bicycle faster. He was pedaling his feet faster and faster. Something is wrong, do I feel strange? Sweat was coming down Ilyas' forehead. While riding the bicycle quickly on the road, keeping his eyes in front of him, he suddenly pressed the brakes of his bicycle hard and stopped the bicycle.
The entire road was empty, but on the left side of the road, where there were only trees, Scarlett and Aydin's bicycles were standing, but they were not there. Finding this place empty, Ilyas pushed his bicycle towards it. He parked his bicycle next to the two bicycles that were standing next to the tree. He parked the bicycle and got down from the bicycle seat.
"Scarlett!!!!!! Aydin!!!! Caspian!!!!!"
Where did these three go? Ilyas looked around and called their names, but no one answered. He turned his gaze to the forest where it was dark. Don't say for a second that those people have gone into this thick, dark and scary forest?
"Look, friends, if you guys are joking, tell me right away because this is a stupid joke, so come out now, Caspian, come out now."
No one comes out even after Ilyas speaks. The forest is still quiet. Now Ilyas starts to feel a little scared because there is no sign of his friends, only he is there alone. His face is filled with worry.
"What a drag?"
Elyas takes out his phone from his jeep and turns on the flashlight, takes a deep breath and starts walking towards the forest with great courage. He takes each step with great courage and fear. As soon as he starts moving away from the street lights and is moving forward, suddenly some large plants start moving as if something is coming out of these plants. Seeing these plants moving, Elyas stops and gets scared. He slowly starts turning towards the path. Where am I stuck?
Elyas suddenly starts running towards the road quickly, and that thing also starts running after him. Running quickly, Elyas reaches the road where there are lights. Did that thing come all the way here while chasing me?
Someone is coming out of the darkness of the forest. Elias could feel the sound of their footsteps. Elias was quite nervous. He ran towards the back and without thinking, he picked up two large stones from the stones lying next to the trees and stood in front of the forest, shouting and throwing stones...
"You will not escape today!!!!!!"
Along with Elias's shouting, those people also started shouting loudly. Elias stopped when he saw them shouting because he had heard these voices before. Those people came out of the darkness of the forest. They were none other than Scarlett and Aiden.
Scarlett: "You scared me, Elias, were you going to make us mincemeat?"
Aiden: "What kind of action was that, Elias? You could have even crushed our heads with this action of yours."
Both were quite angry. It was clear from their faces that they were scared and angry. Elias calmed down after seeing them both. The fear and anxiety that had been on his face were now gone. He slowly lowered his hand and dropped the stones he was holding in his hand. He bent down and took a deep breath, which calmed him down. Do they even know what happened to me just a short while ago and they are talking to me like this from above?
"Bastard, your head hasn't been cut, has it? And your head hasn't been minced, where have you guys gone? Do you guys know what it's like to be alone in a deserted forest?"
Speaking of loneliness, Elias looked at him, he didn't see Caspian with the two of them. He tilted his head slightly to the right where the three of them had their bicycles parked, but Caspian's wasn't. Caspian's bicycle isn't there either, has he gone home?
"Being alone reminded me, where is Caspian? Why isn't he with you two?"
Scarlett and Ayden's faces become anxious as they start looking at each other.
"Why are you two looking at each other? Where is Caspian?"
Scarlett: "Actually, we are also looking for Caspian, but we can't find him."
Ilyas: "What do you mean, Caspian can't be found? I don't understand."
Aiden: "Look, I don't even know what happened. When I reached there, Scarlett was standing there alone, shocked and scared. Scarlett says that suddenly Caspian turned his bicycle towards the forest and he went inside the forest. Scarlett and I went inside the forest, but we didn't go too much inside. We thought that since the three of us together, we would all look for him together. It would be good for us to look for him together and stay together."
Elyas was quite surprised to hear what they said. Where did his friend Caspian suddenly disappear to? The three friends were quite worried and anxious. They did not want to leave here empty-handed. If they did, what would they answer Caspian's parents? They did not fulfill their duty of friendship and left Caspian there in the forest. They did not want people, Caspian's parents and Caspian to know that his friends had left him alone in the dark forest of the black night. Is this what friendship is?
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go, Scarlett and Ayden, find Caspian before it's too late."
Scarlett and Ayden shook their heads. The three of them turned on the flashlight in their phones and took their steps towards the dark forest. The three of them entered the dark forest.
.....
It was like a big deep cave, but in reality it looked like a temple where it was very dark. Four big ancient coffins were placed behind a big and majestic throne that looked like a king's. That majestic big throne was black in color, as if someone had burned it in a fire. There were big stone statues placed around it.
There were different types of lines on those four big ancient coffins, which were made on these coffins with great beauty and fineness. In these coffins, there was a big sign in the middle of the top of the lines, different signs were made.
There was silence in the entire temple, when suddenly the top of one of the coffins started shaking. The wind started blowing in the temple. That coffin started shaking even harder. Strange sounds started resounding in the temple. This atmosphere seemed quite scary.
Old things kept in the temple started falling here and there. A tornado of wind started in the temple, in which all the things started getting covered. The ancient coffin began to shake violently with the storm. Things were spinning around in circles with the storm of wind. The big black door of the temple, which looked many centuries old, on which strange people, animals, weapons and images of the world were painted, slowly began to open. With the opening of the door of the ancient temple, the storm of wind disappeared and all the things that were covered in the storm of wind fell to the ground below, making a noise.
The ancient coffin, which was shaking restlessly earlier, suddenly stopped shaking. The whole place was silent as before, as if nothing had happened here. The big door of the ancient temple, which was slowly opening, now opened completely.
From the ancient coffin that had suddenly stopped moving as if it had frozen like ice, a dark, thick but eerie, soft-toned voice came out, as if no one had spoken for years and was now doing so, but only slowly...
"It seems someone has stepped into our zone"
