The tree.
They all say that's where they can finally have peace...

That's what they all say...

That's what they all want us to know...

Do they know what is really happening there?

I don't think so =)

----------

  Its was around sunset when Alyssa got home from school. Exhausted. She went to her room right away.

There she jumps onto the bed and pulls out her phone. (mood-) Even though she knows that if she is doing homework right now she would have more time later on.

But who does that?

   After awhile on her phone she found something...interesting to put that simply.

"The tree? What's that?" she thought to herself. Without a thought she went deep into the post.

Oh how she regret that~

~a few months later~

  "Hey have you heard of the news of the girl that got traumatized by something the Internet?" said one of the girls in the group.

"Her name is Alyssa right?" She nodded. "Yeah of course I do, everyone knows that"

  If you don't know (I'm sure you don't)  the group consist of Jessica (the furry—) Jenna, Galaxy and Savannah.

  "I think I know what traumatized her" said Galaxy. "What is it?" asked Jenna. The purple and blue haired (Galaxy: I HAVE A NAME— me: shut up) answered "Have you ever heard the myth called 'the tree'?"

  Jenna thought for a moment..."Maybe you are rig—" "GUYS" it was from Jessica...I'm not surprised (Savannah: rip fourth wall) Being so done with life Jenna asked "What?"

  Jessica frown a bit "I found the post of the so called myth—" "HEY THATS MY PHONE" turns out Savannah scratched Jess' phone.

  After a small bit of reading Savannah gave back Jess' phone. "It says there's a tall tree in the middle of no where that is conveniently not that far away from here" said the only one who haven't dyed her hair.

  Galaxy glances at Jessica "oh I know that look..." "Can we go there pwease ÓwÒ" said the tik tok dances addict. "No!" Jenna suddenly said. "BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OUR JOB TO FIND MYTHICAL STUFF" she exclaimed.

She was right unfortunately. Their job was to find the truth about mythical stuff.  (idk what to put at this point)

~a few hours later~

Oh boy do they regret going there. Why? It was a hot sunny day and no one likes that. Especially Jessica since she despise it.

  "Are we there yet?!" Savannah asked out of the blue. Sighs,Jenna replied "We're almost ther—" Jeez why is everyone getting cut off? "LOOK WE'RE FINALLY HERE" shouted Jessica.

  "Uh— why are there dead people hanging on tree?" asked Galaxy.

"um...why is it suddenly dark?"

---

  While we're still alive as for right now let's talk about the history of the tree shall we?

  It is the place where people hang themselves to end their lives...

Their oh so precious lives.

Why? Its quite simple to have peace. To finally escape from this hell hole called society.

Yes, it may sound lovely on the text books.

B̶u̶t̶ t̶h̶e̶y̶'e̶r̶ l̶y̶i̶n̶g̶

All the tree really does is control them to end their lives by force.

=)

--- (play the song)

Screaming can be heard from the distance

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

"JESS WHERE ARE YOU GOING" shouted Jenna.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

Slowly Jessica walked towards the tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight

"COME BACK HERE YA STUPID TIK TOK ADDICT" another shout

In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight

There she was...holding a string (y'know the thing they use to self uninstall themselves? idk what its called)

In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight

"no...NO JESS FOR FUCKS SAKE STOP"

In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight

but its too late

In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

  she's g̶o̶n̶e̶...
