It's 11pm and I'm in bed in a holiday cottage on the Kola Peninsula in Russia, just about to go to sleep. I'm a Russian girl myself, I grew up in Moscow but I moved to Norway in 2004 and grew up there, I'm 22 now I've basically forgotten all my Russian so I can't say anything except a couple of basic phrases like "I don't understand" or "where is..." or "how much does it cost?"<br><br>This place is so cool, I've been here 4 days already. I was really excited because this trip is fun and I'm very lucky :) the only bad thing is the bears, I read that on the internet. (I did not know what they were talking about) but I saw on the map there was a waterfall in the forest, 4km from my cottage. I got bored and decided to go there. I took a wrong turn and got lost in the forest after 1 hour, I was lost in the forest for 1 hour until I found it. On the way I was walking and saw all these marks in the ground and scratched up trees, I was wondering why. This was 8am. I got back to my cottage at 1pm. 4 hours later than I expected :/. Before I left, I saw a guy standing next to the cottage, I said "Hi" to him and he smiled :) he was nice.<br><br>I came back to my cottage, ate something, drank a little bit of alcohol :) then went to sleep at 11 o clock. I was lying in my bed when I heard the door open, it was the guy from the front of the cottage. He said something in Russian, I said "What?" He said "Hello, my name is Oigal I am staying in the cottage next door. I saw you walking in the forest, I said hello but you didn't see me." I was confused, asking him "How did you get in my cottage?" He said "I knocked on the door, nobody answered. I saw the door was open, so I came in." I was very confused, I didn't hear anyone knock, but I was tired and not thinking straight, I didn't think it was odd. He said "I'm going for a walk in the forest, would you like to come with me? It's better to walk with someone in the forest."<br><br>I thought what I read about the bears and thought it was safe to walk with someone else. We walked for 2 hours, during this time he was acting very strange. Firstly, he didn't know the way to the waterfall, so even when we were walking towards it, he kept saying we were lost. But I had been that day, I knew we weren't. He didn't understand that I wasn't Russian, so he kept talking to me in Russian. He said something about food, I said "I don't understand" he said "Shall we go to my cottage, I have some food" I said "No thank you" he said "Ok, I will go and get some food from my cottage, and we can eat at the waterfall" I said "Let's just go to the waterfall first, then we can go to your cottage for food later." I was hoping he would forget about food so that we didn't have to go to his cottage, I didn't want to go to his cottage. He kept talking about food, asking if I like different things, I said I didn't eat meat. Then he asked if I like children, I said yes, I used to work with children. Then he said something like "Do you like a baby animal?" I thought he meant a rabbit or something, I said yes I like animals. Then he said "I want to eat a baby animal with you". I said no. He said "Please?" I said no again, then he said "We can eat a big animal then" I said no. He kept asking me to eat animal with him, I kept saying no. He said "If you don't eat animal with me, then I will eat you" I was very scared, I felt cold and I didn't know what to do, all I could say was "No, you can't eat me." He kept saying it, over and over again.<br><br>We were in the forest, it was dark and I had no phone signal. I wanted to get away from him, I kept walking to the waterfall, I wanted to see if there was people there that could help me. When we got to the waterfall, there was nobody. He went behind the waterfall, and I stayed in front of the waterfall. After 5 minutes, I thought "this guy is weird, I don't trust him, I'm gonna walk back to my cottage alone". I said to him "I'm going back to the cottage, I will go alone". He said "NO, I will walk back with you". I said "NO, I will walk back alone". He got very angry when I said this, I could see his face change, he was shouting at me, saying I must walk back with him, he wouldn't let me walk back alone. I decided it was better to keep him happy, so I said ok, we can walk back together.<br><br>When we got back to my cottage, he said "Thank you for this lovely walk in the forest with me. Will you go on another walk with me tomorrow?" I said "Yes, I would love to go on another walk with you" He smiled and said I was a nice girl, I would be perfect for him. I said goodnight, then went inside the cottage and closed the door. I was shaking, I was so scared, all I could think about was getting away from this guy."<br><br>I packed up my stuff and walked to the village, I didn't even lock the door, I just walked away as fast as I could. Luckily, there was a guy working at the hotel, he let me in and I explained what happened to him. I asked "What does Oigal mean in Russian?" He said "It means alone. Do you know a guy called Alone, staying here?" I said I didn't know his last name, but he was staying in the cottage next to mine. He said "I know who he is, I will call the police." I was crying, I didn't know what to do, but I was so glad I had got away from him. I didn't want to be alone with him anymore.<br><br>I didn't sleep very well that night, I kept thinking about him, I'm still thinking about him. I can't stop thinking about him. I don't understand why he would go after me, did he just see me and decide to follow me? Or did he plan it? I felt like I was all alone in the forest, I felt like there was nobody there to help me, I felt trapped and scared. I was so happy to see that hotel, I felt so happy to be in a safe place.<br><br>I hope I never see you again, Alone. But I know I will never forget you.<br><br>EDIT: I understand some people are saying this is fake, I understand it sounds fake, but it's not. All I want to say is that I was on holiday in Russia, I was walking in the forest, I got lost, then I got found ?
