林中小屋
几季前的一个夜晚一个打完了几场硬仗的士兵走在回家的路上。他决定省点钱,于是决定直接走出这松树林。
旅程的第一天什么事都没有发生,士兵一直沿着大路走,步子也很轻快。当天快黑的时候,他打开了铺盖,生了堆小火,烤了些自己抓的兔子。“不错的一天”他想着想着就睡着了。
半夜,士兵被远处的哭声弄醒了,他觉得是强盗的诡计,于是把剑抓到手中,但仍然假装在睡觉,想等他们靠近了再迅速出手。几分钟之后,哭声开始离开他的营地,直到他再也听不到了。在夜里剩下的时间里他都睁着只眼睡觉。
第二天,士兵从糟糕的睡眠中醒来,加速穿出这片森林,想要拉开与他昨晚听到的那个“东西”之间的距离。走着走着就下起了大雨,所以士兵搭了个挡雨的地方,以免晚上睡觉的时候把身体弄湿。
他想着前一天晚上刚经历过的事,没能像昨晚那样很快睡着,但最后他还是进入了梦乡。
这次他又被外面哭声惊醒,声音听着好像就在他睡的地方外面。士兵拿起他的剑,爬了出去。在火的正前方,他看到了一个把脸埋在手里不断哭泣着的女人后背,这女人看着像鬼。
士兵壮起胆,问她出什么事了。
她没有回答。
他开始慢慢接近她,但还没等他靠近,那女人突然转过身,对着他尖叫。这个女人像鬼一样,举起了一把手斧,朝着他跑来,但在她靠近前就消失了。
士兵顾不上其他,拿着手中的剑就开跑。直到天边出现第一道光他才停下来,然后沿着路尽可能快的走。
第三天,天气晴朗,但这个士兵被吓坏了,加上睡眠不足,他根本没注意到这些。他一直以最快的速度走着,想要在天黑之前走出这片森林。
夜幕降临时,他看到了路边的一间小屋,他想着这真是个晚上休息的好地方。进入小屋后,他花了些时间把门和窗户都抵住了,这样就没有东西能进来了。
虽然他做了这些预防措施,但还是睡不着。他坐在小屋原来的卧室里,盯着不断晃动的被抵住的门。最终,他眼睛再也睁不开了,他睡着了。
这次他是被抵住的门外的笑声惊醒。听着就像先前的哪个女人,但他不愿相信那就是她。
士兵冲出门外,进入主厅后发现了前两晚的那个像鬼一样的女人,她正拿着手斧盯着地面歇息底里地笑着。
他开始无情地攻击那个鬼女人,但他能感觉到他的攻击没什么效果。于是他拿出了火焰箭卷轴对她使用了,引来那女人的一声惊叫,接着爆炸消失了。
煎熬结束了,鬼消失了。
那晚士兵睡的很好,在接下来的一天他在树林中走了很远。当太阳快落山的时候,他从森林的另一边走出来了,向后看去,想着前几天发生的事。
当他转过身,开始走离树林的时候,他可以肯定,他又听到了那阵哭声。
The Cabin in the Woods
Late one night a few seasons ago, a soldier was returning home after several bloody battles. He decided he would save some gold and decided to cross the pine forest on foot.
The first day of his journey was rather uneventful, the soldier stuck to the main path and kept a brisk pace. When it started getting dark he setup his bedroll, built a small fire and cooked up some rabbit he had caught. "A fine day indeed" he thought to himself as he fell asleep.
Partway through the evening the soldier was woken up by soft sobbing in the distance. He grabbed his sword assuming it to be a bandit trick, but pretended to sleep so he could get the jump on them. After a few minutes the sobbing started moving away from his camp until he could no longer hear it. For the rest of the night slept with one eye open.
Day two the soldier awoke from what rotten sleep he could catch and started off through the forest at a quicker pace, intending to put distance between himself and whatever he had heard last night. As the day went on it began to rain heavy so the soldier built himself a little shelter for the evening so he could remain dry while he slept.
It took him a little longer to fall asleep with thoughts of the previous night fresh in his mind but he eventually slept.
This time he awoke to sobbing that sounded like it was right outside his shelter. The soldier grabbed his sword and crawled out of the shelter. In front of the fire he saw the back of a ghostly woman sobbing into her hands.
The soldier mustered his courage and asked her what was wrong.
No answer.
He began to slowly approach but before he could reach her she turned and screamed at him. The ghostly woman raised an axe and began to run at the soldier, disappearing before she made contact.
The soldier took off into the night with just his sword in hand. He ran until the first light of dawn where he started down the road again, as fast as he could move.
The third day was bright and sunny, but the soldier, rattled and sleepless, didn't even notice. He moved as fast as he could trying to get through the forest before nightfall.
As darkness began to fall he saw a cabin just off the road and thought to himself it would be a good place to hunker down for the night. After arriving at the cabin he spent some time blocking the doors and windows, nothing would get in.
Despite his preparations, he could not sleep. He sat in what used to be the cabin's bedroom staring at the barricaded door shaking. Eventually he could keep his eyes open no longer and fell asleep.
This time he awoke to laughing on the other side of the barricaded door. It sounded like the woman from before, but he refused to believe it was her.
The soldier burst through the barricaded door into the main room to find the ghostly woman from the night before staring at the ground laughing hysterically with axe in hand.
He began to relentlessly attack the ghostly woman but he could feel his strikes were less effective. He used a scroll of firebolt which drew a scream from her and she exploded, disappearing.
The ordeal was over, the ghost was gone.
The soldier slept well that night and the next day made excellent distance through the woods. As the sun began to set he came out on the other side of the forest and looked back, remembering the days before.
As he turned and started walking away from the woods he could swear he heard the sobbing again.
