DARK FOREST
Last summer a group of teenagers wanted to go to Van Lake for vacation. Their names were martin, Kenny, Denis and Jale. On Saturday morning they left their city. Firstly, they had to pass through the forest to get to the lake. However they did not know the way around the forest. For this reason, they stopped their car before entering the forest and they search for someone to ask how to get to the lake. Finally they found a house and they walked toward the house. They knocked on the door but nobody answered. When they turned back to the car, they were surprised to see an old man in front of them. He had long hair and long beard. Although he was very ugly but, he seems very kind. They asked him how they can pass through the forest. He explained the way they understood and they wanted to try this. They thought that they would find the way very easily. However they lost their way a few hours later. At this time they wanted to separate into two groups. Because they saw two paths and they had to try the two ways to find the correct way. Martin and Denis went left side and the other went to the right side. One hour after separating Martin and Denis met a strange man who was a ranger. They wanted to ask something about the way but he did not ---. He was young strong man, but he looked very nervous. He just told them to go out of there immediately. They were really scared because he looked very scary and he had axe in his left hand. After they left him they continued on their way for a few minutes and suddenly they saw two dead people. They recognized them easily because they were their two friends. At that moment they heard a sound from back side. When they turned they saw the ranger in front of them. They tried to escape from there but they could not because after few minutes of running they saw the old man they tried to explain the story but he looked very crazy and he carried a rifle. He pointed his gun at the teenagers suddenly everyone heard loud sound like an axe. The old man felt to ground. They turned around and saw the ranger. He saved their life. When they tried to say thank you to him he disappeared suddenly. They did not understand until they arrived at police station. After they entered through the door, they saw a picture. It was the ranger‘s picture. They were surprised because when the police officer told them this man died 100 years ago.
