Deep in the Forest

I had a rather vague dream that I was in a deep forest with what seems to be an old church hidden in the woods there where what looks like people there but some how i knew they weren't... 

In my memory flashes of people talking about this forest a rumor a legend of people coming in and never getting out. Ofcourse as a journalist I had to find out the truth to this rumors so I went to the forest and so I went there. God, trust me when I say I got what I want,,,,,

Let's start over my name is Vanilla, yes I know almost as if i was named after the first ice cream flavor they saw... but I never thought it was that unusual of a name ofcourse travelling around you'd names you'd probably thought would never be given to a child. Anyway I'm a Journalist from Rebard City it was a gloomy city, noisy and dirty. At my job with the publishing I find scary stories and urban legends I have made a few but this certain story got my fascination. 

A forest that take people away... no back story, no legends, no history... just a long record of missing people going in the forest and never coming out. I thought it was my shot for an original horror story a new legend to start.. this new story would change my life.. so I went to the city near the forest and did some research, I didn't get much though just vague things like '' do not go there'' or different stories like ''dwarfs lve there'', '' evil spirits took those people'' and the like. So I decided to go to the forest myself but no one was willing to guide me, for some reason everybody in that town is afraid.

That is my last memory, going in the forest. the next is I was in the middle of this forest near the old church with people who are not people....I felt fear as I stare at them they seemed normal people but felt different, one of them noticed me. approached me and asked me to come inside and I did... I was treated much like a guest there and it became comfortable, and I forgot if days had passed everything was a blur but I was suddenly reminded of my job... ''I came there to research! I haven;t done anything at all'', so I went around the place asked around but everyone seems to be ignoring my questions,  I asked them who they are, what are they doing here and what's this place. all answered by a creepy smile, then I have looked at every inch of the church except for one... a fancy door looks new and out of place for an old church, I wondered why I never noticed this door before was it there the whole I time?

Slowly I went to the door as I approach it I thought what is on the other side... as I reached my hand to the knob, another person took my hand and I stopped ''You shouldn't be here'' said the lady who took my hand ''I don't know if what you'll return to but you can still get out!'' as she said this she dragged me through the hallways as if we are being chased, she was in such a haste that I can barely keep up. Then as we go through the halls I noticed the exit to the church, I struggled and said '' I still dont have anything for my story let stay a while longer'' as I said that she stared at me with cold eyes and said ''forget your story''. but as she pushed me out a few more of the residents in church saw us my memory went blank again... the next thing I knew was I was in a room other are with me too... kneeling some are crying some just look scared and I just felt scared too. 

I saw the people before me.. they kneeled in the front the lasy in front did some enchantment... and those people lost their face... but I can feel their faceless head smile at me... and I trembled in fear! the lady next to me looked me then eventuallyy it was my turn.... I saw the lady in front of and this time i ccan hear here enchantment.. but as i heard it was my name repeatedly I felt nausea and my vision start to blur then  I felt a strong jolt and saw the lady next to me attacked the enchanter... she ripped some sort of paper and told me to run as fast as I can...

And I did run through the door I was running in the hallways and I dont know when I started running to the forest then to some mountain stairs.... it was all a blur I couldn't figure out what was happening then I saw a giant door and I ran through that. then i saw my city the City of Rebard I was surprised a lot has changed there are establishments that was never there before and when I looked back I saw a wall nothing but a wall the door I through from was gone.... 

I walked down the city and saw a newspaper.... it's date written 90 years after I left for that odd town... I was devastated didn't know what to do.. so I did what my journalist instinct thought of first we headed down to a library and went to the newspaper room they ahve this machine that lets you view all the printed news papers from years back.... and there I saw it my own unique story that headlined the newspaper... a jounalist lost in a forest... no body found.....

Then I was lost i just went out to library stared at nothing and walked aimlessly think of nothing.... then suddenly it hit me.... why I thought the residents of the church wasn't human.... it's because none of them had faces... why didn't I realize it at the time was a mystery to me... it was all so bizarre that I just started laughing I didn't know why.... maybe I thought it was all over...

as I walked down I bumped into a nun so as I turned to apologize.... I saw her face..... and there was nothing I can see......
