  The drive is a long one. It's the late evening and you are barely halfway to your destination.
  
  "We're never gonna make it, the bar closes at 2:00am, and we're not even close. Everyone's gonna be gone by the time we get there." Kent exclaims.
  
  Kent's always been worrisome. You've been friends for nearly fifteen years, and tonight you've planned on going to a bar in a town called Elk Valley. It's a small town, but is an attraction to many young adults, due to it's low police rate and high night life scene.
  
  "Load up the map for a second"
  
  You load up the map on your phone and notice a detour road through a forest nearby. This looks to cut the trip a couple hours, and you'll make the bars in time.
  
  "I say we take it. Nothing bad ever happens in this town, there's nothing to be afraid of. What do you say?"
  
  [Author's Note: Your in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Traveling with your best friend Kent, you take a detour on an empty road through a forest. Your car breaks down in the middle of it, and the cold of the night begins to arrive. But not to worry, as help seems to arrive. A woman appears and tells you that you can spend the night at the "sanctuary" she lives at. You have an important decision to make, face mother nature's worst or trust a woman you've never seen before. Either way, it's going to be a long night....]
  
  > take the detour
  You are okay with taking the detour.
  
  "Alrighty, we'll be there in no time now!" Kent says in excitement.
  
  He drives onto an empty road, into a forest. The rain falls and patters on the windshield. As you are driving, Kent opens a bottle of beer and begins to drink. You take the bottle away.
  
  "Oh dude don't be like that! It's just a little pre-drink before the party, nothing to be worried about. If you let me finish it, I'll buy you a round of shots at the bar. Deal?"
  
  > give Kent the bottle
  You give Kent back the beer.
  
  "Thanks man. First round of shots is on me."
  
  As he drinks it, he does not pay attention to the road and drives over a spike strip. The car spins as he slams on the breaks.
  
  "What the hell was that!"
  
  You get out of the car to see the tires are busted. You look down the road to see the spike strip set up in the middle of it.
  
  "Who would put that there?! Damn it all! My Dad is gonna kill me, this is his car!"
  
  You take out your phone, but notice you have no service. You look up from your phone and see a person coming in a hooded grey jacket. You cannot see their face, as it is too dark.
  
  > ask the person for help
  You shout across the road at the person.
  
  "Excuse me!" yells Kent, "We need some help over here!"
  
  The person begins to slowly walk towards you. They remove their hood to reveal themselves as a young woman, about the same age as Kent and yourself.
  
  "Hi, I'm Angel. Who might you be?" she asks.
  
  "I'm Kent and this is my good bud. We hit what looks to be a spike strip and have no service to call anyone."
  
  "That's unfortunate. I'm afraid I don't know anything about fixing cars, so I won't be much help to you." she replies.
  
  "Thanks anyway. Do you know the fastest way to get out of here on foot?"
  
  "You can't walk on foot in this forest at this time of night, it's way too dangerous If you don't feel like sleeping in a busted car tonight, you can stay at the sanctuary. I'm sure Byron has room for you two."
  
  "The sanctuary? What's that?"
  
  "I live there. It's my home. I can explain more about it on the way, follow me."
  
  > follow Angel
  You decide to follow Angel to the place she calls the "sanctuary".
  
  "Excuse me, it's Angel right?" Kent asks her.
  
  "Yeah"
  
  "What exactly is the sanctuary?"
  
  "It's my home, but wasn't always. A few years ago, I lived with my father in Deer Valley. My life was horrible there, I was constantly teased by others at school. People tend to outcast someone who comes to class with a black eye everyday. My father drank, a lot. When he'd get angry, he'd take it out on me. I needed to get away. One night, I finally decided to run away. I ran into this forest and met Byron. He welcomed me to the sanctuary and said I could live there the rest of my life. I don't need to school, there's no abuse, no exclusion, no teasing, it's perfect. To put it simply, the sanctuary is heaven."
  
  "Okay then." Kent says as he looks unimpressed.
  
  "It's just up here." Angel claims.
  
  You walk on top of a hill, where the sanctuary is revealed. You see three small cabins with lots of land around them. They are across from one another, forming a circle. You follow Angel down the hill and walk towards the cabins. Each cabin has the same symbol painted on the door. It looks like an upside down cross with an circle around it. One cabin's symbol is red, the other is blue, and the other is yellow.
  
  "Stay right here, I'm gonna go find Byron and introduce you guys."
  
  Angel walks into the cabin with the red symbol on it.
  
  "Dude, this place is weird." mentions Kent.
  
  A hefty man then walks out of the cabin. He has an unkempt beard and long slick brown hair. He smiles at you and Kent.
  
  "Evening boys. The name's Byron Duke, but just call me Byron. This is my sanctuary, a place of inclusion and salvation. A long time ago, God and the devil appeared to me in a dream. They were fighting one another, trying to earn my faith. That's when I realized, I am no follower. I am a leader. I was born to lead those who need direction. People don't understand me, they don't understand us, so we stay here. All we need is each other, all we need is sanctuary. We'll watch the world burn from here."
  
  "Sure man. Is it okay if we stay here tonight? Our car broke down..."
  
  "Say no more" Byron interrupts. "Like I said, this is a place of inclusion. All who want to be here are welcome. There are two beds in the cabin behind you, you can sleep there tonight. Sweet dreams, boys."
  
  Byron walks back into his cabin.
  
  "Dude, that guy is way far out. Do you think we should stay here?"
  
  > spend the night
  You walk into the cabin with the yellow symbol over it, where you will spend the night.
  
  Inside the cabin is two beds about three feet away from each other,a lit fireplace, a mini fridge, and a filled bookshelf. Kent walks towards the mini fridge.
  
  "Just because we can't make the bar, doesn't mean we can't get drunk tonight. Lets see what they got to drink."
  
  Kent opens the fridge to reveal a garbage bag wrapped around something.
  
  "What is that?"
  
  > open the bag
  You move towards the fridge, and remove the object in the bag.
  
  "I'm seeing what's in there" says Kent.
  
  Kent grabs the bags and turns it upside down, causing a human hand to fall out.
  
  "Holy shit! That's a hand! Why would there be a hand in here!" Kent shouts.
  
  The hand looks to have been sliced off from an arm using a knife. The grey shade of it shows it was cut off much later after the person had died. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door of the cabin.
  
  "Hey guys, can I come in?"
  
  It is Angel.
  
  "One minute please!" replies Kent. "Dude, we gotta hide this, quickly".
  
  > hide the hand back in the fridge
  You grab the hand using the garbage bad as a glove, and put it back in the fridge.
  
  "Come on in" says Kent.
  
  Angel opens the door and enters the cabin. She looks at you and Kent.
  
  "You guys look like you've seen a ghost. Everything okay?"
  
  "Everything's peachy, never better." Kent replies.
  
  "Okay. I just wanted to make sure you were settling in alright."
  
  "Oh yeah, we're fine. As a matter of fact, we were just getting ready to hit the sack."
  
  "Alright then. I'll let you get some sleep. I'll come back in the the morning when you're up. Goodnight."
  
  Angel leaves the cabin.
  
  "Good thinking hiding it in the fridge" murmurs Kent. "I don't feel safe here though. How did a hand get cut off and why was it in a fridge? This whole place is messed up, I say we check it out. Who knows what else is around here, we should search the grounds. Imagine we uncover more secrets, then when we leave here tomorrow, we go straight to the papers and tell them all about this place. I bet some reporters will pay good money for a story like that! What do you say, should we search the grounds?"
  
  > search the grounds
  You and Kent leave the cabin to search the grounds of the sanctuary.
  
  "We have to be quiet, I don't want to know what happens to us if that guy finds out we're searching his land for murder evidence." Kent says.
  
  You take slow paces, and the dark of the night benefits you're sneaking.
  
  "Where should we look first?"
  
  > The red cabin
  You silently walk towards the cabin with the red symbol on the door.
  
  You sneak around it to find a sole window on the backside. You peak in the window and see Byron sitting at a desk, writing something. You look to the other side of the room and see Angel sitting on a bed. She looks to be talking, but you can't read her lips.
  
  "Let's keep moving" reminds Kent.
  
  You sneak to the side of the cabin, but don't find anything suspicious. Suddenly, you hear the door to the cabin open, and someone walks out. You hide at the side of the cabin, and peak over the corner to see who it is. You see Byron walk out with a garbage bag, with something inside of it. You are losing sight of him as he moves.
  
  > follow Byron
  You follow Byron, but stay far behind him so he cannot see you.
  
  Byron goes to the cabin with the blue symbol on the door, and knocks. A naked man answers it.
  
  "You're later than usual" the man says.
  
  "I promised I'd feed you, I never promised anything about when I would" Byron responds.
  
  The man takes the garbage bag and closes the door. You quickly sneak back to hide behind the cabin as Byron makes his way back over. He goes back into the cabin.
  
  "Tell me that looked as fishy to you as it did to me, we should see what's going on in there" Kent utters to you.
  
  > investigate the delivery to the cabin
  You go the cabin with the blue symbol on the door, and sneak behind it to peak in the window.
  
  You see a naked man and woman sitting on the floor, with the bag in the man's hands. The man reaches into the bag and pulls out what looks to be organs. It is confirmed they are human organs after the man dumps the remains from the bag on the floor, revealing everything. He takes an eyeball from the pile and puts it in his mouth. The woman moves over to him and kisses him, then shows that the eyeball is his her mouth, then proceeds to eat it.
  
  "Son of a bitch, their cannibals!" Kent exclaims. "Quick, take a photo with your phone so we have proof!"
  
  You pull out your phone and take a picture, but the flash accidently goes off. You and Kent duck under the window.
  
  "Oh no. They know we're out here, what do we do?"
  
  > go into the bushes
  You silently walk over to the bushes.
  
  As you walk through them, you are not paying attention to where you are going and accidently step in a bear trap.
  
  The snap is very loud and you let out a bloodcurdling scream. Kent approaches you, but sees something behind you and runs away. You hear a voice getting louder behind you:
  
  "Obey! Obey! Obey!"
  
  You turn to see a large bearded man with an axe charging towards you. The bear trap doesn't allow you to escape, and the man swings the axe and gets to in the side of the head, killing you.
