Mystery in the Woods
It had been years since Mary left her small town for the big city. Now a successful criminal attorney, she had no intention of ever returning. That is, until she received a call from her childhood friend, Ellen.
"Mary," Ellen said. "I need your help. I know you don't really believe in this sort of thing, but I'm sure there's something strange going on in the woods. I've heard stories of strange lights, and lately I've been seeing them myself."
Mary was intrigued, and despite her better judgement, she decided to take a trip back home. When she arrived at the edge of the woods, she felt a chill run down her spine. Something was definitely off.
As she ventured deeper into the woods, she noticed an odd pattern in the trees: a large circle with a pentagram at its center. She had seen symbols like this in her legal work, and the discovery made her uneasy.
As Mary approached the center of the circle, she heard a voice from behind her. Startled, she turned around to find a figure shrouded in shadow. "You shouldn't be here," the voice said. "This is a sacred place, and only those who are chosen may enter."
The figure led Mary to a clearing, where she found a group of people gathered around a large bonfire. The figure explained that these people were part of an ancient cult, and that they were there to perform a ritual. To her surprise, Mary was invited to join them.
After a few hours, the ritual was complete and the group dispersed. As Mary left the circle, she heard a strange noise coming from the trees. She quickly realized it was the sound of a gun, and before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her back.
Mary awoke in a hospital bed, surrounded by her friends and family. She soon learned the truth: the cult had been performing a ritual to summon a demon, and the gunshot had been meant for the figure who had led her there. Thanks to her quick reflexes, Mary had been saved.
It was a mystery and a surprise, but Mary was relieved to be alive. She had been chosen to save the day, and she was glad to have returned to her hometown.
