Carmen was deep inside of the forest when she suddenly hears a strange noise. She had never heard this noise before. She followed the noise and soon saw where the noise came from. She was looking at a strange bird in a tree, however she could make sense of what kind of bird it was. When she got closer something happened that she could not see coming. The noise from the bird started to hurt her ears.
But this did not stop her….
Carmen tried to approach the bird to see what it was, but the pain started to hold her back. She had a feeling she wasn't welcome here. But she decided to ignore the pain and just try to get closer. Then the pain got so intense in her ears that it almost made her collapse.
Carmen screamed in pain. Her ears were burning due to the high-pitched sound coming from the bird. This bird did not want Carmen to come closer. Carmen had to know what this was. But at a certain point, the pain in her ears became unbearable.
This was when it went black for Carmen. She did not realize until it was too late that she could not take the pain anymore. She fainted. Everything went pitch black, and Carmen was completely off the world. What had just happened?
After a while, Carmen suddenly woke up, her eyes immediately widened, and she was shocked. She did not hear the sound anymore, but she had an enormous headache. She wondered how long she had been out. She realized she did not have the strength to stand on her feet anymore.
Carmen started crawling back to safety, but immediately when she started moving, the high-pitched noise started again. Carmen started crying. This was truly a nightmare for her. She then realized it wasn't morning anymore but close to evening.
With intense pain, she managed to crawl to a safe distance to regain her strength again. She grabbed her camera to zoom in on the bird again. Then she got to the realization that her camera was broken. Either due to her fall or due to the sound. She had to get help...
But where was she to seek help now? She marked the safe spot with a hair clip she had in her bag. That way, she could easily spot it and stay safe. She needed to find someone to help her as soon as possible.
Because she had been unconscious for a while, the afternoon passed faster than she had hoped, it was slowly getting dark, and she began to see less. It was no longer a safe situation to stay here...
Carmen decided to go home. By now, it was so dark that she could only find her way back with the help of the flashlight on her phone. She was glad when she saw her car parked and could go home. But the bird continued to haunt her mind...
That night Carmen could not fall asleep. She kept tossing and turning, but she couldn't let go of the event with the bird. It also raised so many questions... How did her camera break down? What exactly was going on there?
She had so many questions that she was desperate for answers. What exactly was going on with that bird? Why was she fainting? Did she imagine it, or was something really going on? There was only one way to find out...
Before going back to the bird, she decided to go to a friend for advice. Carmen had to get someone on her side, and she had to tell her story. She went to her best friend, who she wanted to join her to get closer to the bird. But that would be a real challenge.
She told Amy, her friend, what she had found and what had happened. Amy instantly turned pale. She was initially way too scared to join Carmen. But Carmen managed to convince her. However, Amy wanted to ask some local people about the incident first.
Carmen and Amy went inside the town to talk to some older people who had lived there for a very long time. Carmen was convinced someone had to know something about this bird. When asking an old lady, she was shocked and walked away. What was going on?
Everyone they tried talking to seemed way too scared to talk about the bird. They did not let anything slide, so they had to know something that was going on. This could not be a coincidence. Amy wanted to leave it alone, but Carmen had to figure it out.
Carmen felt like she was a true victim here. While asking the locals, she got a strange feeling that she needed to leave it alone. But she would not let this go by. Amy was really scared but did not want to leave her friend alone.
