Chapter 1: A Gruesome Discovery.
Carter looked around at the golden, orange and burnt sienna colored leaves lying on the ground like a new coat of paint. When she suddenly heard the snap of a twig behind her. She flung herself around, looking for the source of the noise. She saw nothing. She turned back around only to come face to face -or rather face to chest- with her worst enemy.
"What do you want, Randy" she snapped. The five-foot-ten blonde Adonis just smirked. Carter rolled her eyes and tried to step around him to continue her walk in peace, but the boy stepped in front of her. She glared up at the boy who had tormented her ever since she came to live with her aunt three years ago.
"Nothing really just wondering, what you were doing out in the woods all by yourself ?" he asked. Carter once again tried to go around him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him painfully hard.
"Where do you think you're going missy ?" he hissed. Carter felt like she had fallen and hit her head against a jagged rock, her left temple began to throb in pain. Her vision blurred and started to form a new terrifying image.
It was pitch black outside as she made her way home, she had fallen asleep at the library studying for her chemistry midterm. If she hurried she could make her way home before her mom got home from working the late nursing shift at the hospital. She ran up the front steps of the cozy one story home they had lived in all her life. She pulled her Emily the strange keychain from her green t-rex book bag. She fumbled with the key to the bright pink door -her mothers idea- before finally noticing the centimeter gap between the door and frame. Carter pushed the door open slowly so if her mom was home she wouldn't hear. Carter never expected the sight she was about to see, a man was kneeling over her mother, she was covered in blood and she saw the man raise a knife, that was gleaming dark crimson in the moonlight that shown through the widows. Her mother turned her head slightly and half-whispered half-choked
"Run Carter" as she said that, her went forever blank … the man turned his head. No! she thought it couldn't be… Adam Rosary ,her father. Carter slowly backed away.
"Where do you think you're going missy?" he hissed.
Carter opened her eyes, all she was the sorrow filled silver-gray October sky. She sat up only to clutch her head in pain as if the blood all came rushing back at once. Once the pain dulled to an uncomfortable ache, she surveyed her surroundings until her warm brown eyes came to a gruesome sight.
