Cursed Moonstone

Chapter 1: The Legend

The full moon cast an eerie glow over the small town of Ravenwood as a group of five friends piled into a jeep, ready for a weekend of camping. Alex, the ringleader of the group, was behind the wheel, his girlfriend Emma riding shotgun. In the backseat were Mark, Tom, and Sarah.

As they drove out of town and into the dense forest that surrounded it, they joked and laughed, excited for their adventure. But as they reached their destination and set up their tents, a sense of unease crept over them. The stories they had heard from the locals about a werewolf that roamed the forest during full moons seemed too real.

Alex tried to dismiss their fears as superstition, but he couldn't ignore the goosebumps on his arms as the sun set and the moon rose high in the sky. The group built a fire and settled in, telling ghost stories and roasting marshmallows, trying to distract themselves from the strange noises they heard coming from the woods.

As the night wore on, the noises grew louder and closer. A howl echoed through the trees, making their blood run cold. They huddled together, trying to calm their racing hearts. But as they heard branches snapping and leaves rustling just beyond the light of the fire, they knew they were not alone.

Emma clutched onto Alex's arm, her eyes wide with fear. "Do you think it's really the werewolf?" she whispered.

The others managed to get away, but they knew they couldn't leave Mark behind. They regrouped and decided to try to save him, but when they returned to the campsite, he was gone. All that remained was a bloody trail leading deeper into the woods.

They knew they had to find Mark and get out of the forest before the werewolf found them again. They grabbed their supplies and set off, their hearts pounding with every step they took. They had no idea what they were up against, but they knew they had to be strong if they wanted to make it out alive.

Chapter 2: Trapped in the Forest

The group of friends stumbled through the dense forest, their flashlights barely illuminating the way ahead. They had been searching for Mark for what felt like hours, but there was no sign of him. They had heard howls and growls in the distance, and they knew the werewolf was still out there, lurking in the shadows.

Tom spoke up, his voice trembling with fear. "We have to find a way out of here. We can't stay in the forest with that thing hunting us."

Sarah nodded in agreement. "But which way do we go? We've been walking in circles."

Alex tried to stay calm, but his nerves were frayed. He knew they had to come up with a plan, and fast. "We need to find a high point where we can get a better view of our surroundings. Maybe we can see a way out from there."

They followed Alex's lead, and after climbing a steep hill, they reached the top. The view was breathtaking, but it was al
