Chapter 1 - BLUE BLOOD – Episode 1

One day, deep in a forest…

Police officers were scattered across the woods, combing through the area. A few surrounded a lifeless body on the ground, collecting evidence, their faces tense and pale. Suddenly—

The sound of tires skidding.

A sleek black car roared into the scene, stopping just inches from the police line.

The door swung open. Out stepped a man.

Dressed in a sharp, tailored blue suit with a matching overcoat flowing in the wind, he exuded authority and mystery. The air itself seemed to still as he walked forward, boots crunching on dry leaves.

The officers turned, some whispering.

Officer 1 (whispering): That's him… James.

He didn't smile.

He didn't greet anyone.

He just observed—cold, calculating, eyes scanning everything like a hawk dissecting its prey. A junior officer approached, slightly nervous.

Officer: Are you Mr. James?

James (without looking at him): Yes. What's the case?

Officer: We found a dead body… We think it might be an animal attack.

James (finally turning to him): "We?" Or just you?

Officer: Just me, sir. I saw claw marks on the tree, some footprints too. Could be a bear or—

James: Hmm…

Without another word, he walked past him, heading toward the body.

He crouched down, inspecting it closely. Then, his eyes landed on something—an ID card.He picked it up slowly.

James: Olivia Joseph. Father's name: Joseph. Got an address too. Interesting...

Suddenly, a scream echoed through the forest.Everyone turned. It was a girl's scream.

The officers and James rushed toward the sound, but stopped abruptly when they reached the edge of a deep, dark cave. Just then, a large tree crashed down near them—but they managed to escape.

As James stood up, the other officers looked shaken.

Officer 1: Sir, this forest is cursed…

Officer 2: Yes! People say there's paranormal activity here. We need to leave.

James: No. There's nothing wrong with this forest. It's just your imagination... and some unfortunate accidents.

He tried to calm them, but fear gripped their faces. Then suddenly A blood-curdling scream echoed from the treetops.They looked up—and there it was.A lifeless body hanging from a branch above.

Several hours later…

An ambulance sped through the dark road, carrying the bodies.

Driver 1: What a day... This forest really is cursed.

Driver 2: Maybe. But there's no proof.

Driver 1: Proof? Did you not see those bodies? That's all the proof I need.

Suddenly, the ambulance screeched to a stop. A tree had fallen across the road. Driver 1 stepped out.

Driver 1: Great. Just great…

Driver 2: Now what do we do?

Driver 1: I think there's an axe in the back. I saw it earlier—might as well use it.

Driver 2: An axe? In an ambulance?

Driver 1: Don't ask. Just call someone—police, fire department, I don't care.

Driver 2: Fine...

Driver 2 pulled out his phone.

Driver 2: Hello? Fire department?

Fire Department: Yes, sir?

Driver 2: There's a tree on the roa—

Signal goes

Fire Department: Sir? Hello? Hello?

Driver 2: Hello? Can you hear me? Ugh… no signal.

The air around him went quiet—too quiet. A chill ran down his spine.

Driver 2: Bro? Are you listening?

He stepped out and circled to the back of the ambulance. No sign of Driver 1. But then he saw Blood Splattered across the road.

Driver 2: Bro…?

Suddenly, a soft crack of branches came from the forest.He turned. A dark silhouette stood behind the trees.Panicking, Driver 2 ran to the back of the ambulance and climbed in, slamming the doors shut behind him. He peered through the small window—trembling.

Silence. Until he felt… breathing.

Behind him. He slowly turned—and there she was. The corpse of the woman. Pale, missing one eye, with jagged, razor-sharp teeth and blood dripping from her mouth.

Outside the ambulance…

Blood splattered across the windows, steaking the glass crimson. The vehicle shook violently. Screams pierced through the air—raw, terrified. And then silence. Only the quiet whisper of the forest remained.
