1 CHAPTER ONE: A CHILDHOOD MEMORY (PROLOGUE)

IN A PLACE OF RAVENSWOOD, THERE ARE GROUP OF FRIENDS WHO ARE PLAYING THE GAME HIDE AND SEEK AT THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST NEAR THE DOWNHILL RIVER WITH THE ABANDONED HOUSE OF THE DEAN FAMILY. THERE ARE EIGHT CHILDREN WHO STAY AND PLAY EVERY AFTERNOON UNTIL SUNSET.

BUT BEFORE THE GAME STARTS AND SOME OF THEM ARE NOT YET ARRIVING, THE REMAINING CHILDREN ARE PLANNING TO MAKE A PRANK JOKE TO THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE GROUP.WHEN THEY ARE COMPLETE, THE GAME IS STARTING BY THE ONLY AND ALWAYS BE THE VICTIM'S COUNTING FROM ONE TO FIFTY. THE THREE CHILDREN WHO PLANNED A PRANK JOKE WENT TO THE BIG TREE UPHILL NEAR THE RIVER TOGETHER WITH THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE GROUP. THEY RECOMMENDED THE YOUNGEST TO CLIMB AND TO HIDE AT THE BIG TREE. THEN, THEY LEFT THE YOUNGEST ALL ALONE AND HID THEMSELVES SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE YOUNGEST CALLED THEM WITH LOWER VOICE JUST TO AVOID SEEING BY THE VICTIM BUT NO ONE RESPOND.

AFTER COUNTING FROM ONE TO FIFTY, THE VICTIM OF THE GAME IS STARTING TO SEARCH AND TO FIND ONE BY ONE OF THE GROUP EXCEPT FOR THE YOUNGEST. THEY KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNGEST BUT THEY NEVER EVEN HEARD THE VOICE. SO THE THREE CHILDREN WHO PLANNED A PRANK JOKE TELL THE OTHERS WHAT THEY DID TO THE YOUNGEST. THE OLDEST OF THE GROUP GETS ANGRY FROM WHAT THEY DID TO THE YOUNGEST AND THEY CONTINUE SEARCHING TO THE BIG TREE WHERE THE YOUNGEST WAS HIDING. THEY NEVER FIND THE YOUNGEST UNTIL THE VICTIM OF THE GAME SCREAMS AND THEY NOTICE A A FLOATING BODY TO THE DOWNHILL RIVER. IT IS THE YOUNGEST'S DEAD BODY. THEY ASK FOR HELP. THEY NEVER PLAY HIDE AND SEEK ONCE AGAIN.
