Chapter 1
In the woods
On the out skirts of L.A. by the woods that stretched out over the hills like a lush green blanket.
It appeared to be a normal nice hot L.A day, and four teenagers were pulling up in black SUV at the car park at the foot of the wood.
Two boys got out called Jake and Zack. Zack was about 5'11 with black hair that was styled in corn rolls; he had green eyes and was of African descent. He was wearing a blue Ben Sherman t-shirt with blue jeans and Nike Air Max trainers. Jake was 5'9 with short blonde spiky hair, he had blue eyes. He was wearing of khaki coloured long shorts with a black muscle shirt and a pair of KWISS trainers. Then once the boys were out two girls got out the back seats who were called Nicole and Hayley. Nicole was 5'9, with caramel hair and hazel eyes. She had a tight baby pink spaghetti strap top on with a denim mini skirt which had a pink playboy belt around it she also had a pair of pink flat shoes on. Hayley was 5'8, with blonde hair with brown tips and blue eyes. She had a pair of tight hipster jeans on with a back vest top which had a slash on it just above the breasts which was held together with safety pins and she was also wearing a pair of Nike trainers.
The girls walked over to the entrance of the walkway up to the mountain whilst boys unloaded the SUV.
"Wow look at this place, I could just live here" Hayley said taking her surroundings.
"Well you do live here Hay, this is still L.A" Zack said.
"And your gonna be living here anyway that's why they call it camping" Jake said sarcastically.
"Oh shut up Jake, you're a moron" Hayley said indignantly.
"Oh, that's big coming from 'look at me I'm blonde' god, just because your hairs that colour doesn't mean you have to act that way" Zack butted in as he and Jake put all their luggage down at their feet.
"Leave me alone" Hayley screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Ok, we are going ahead" Jake said as he and Zack ran in front of them up the path.
Nicole and Hayley didn't care, they were fine with walking on there own, it meant that they could walk in peace.
The woods were silent apart from the birds chattering in the trees. The sun was making beautiful patterns on the ground from were it came through the canopy.
When Nicole and Hayley caught up with the boys they were standing in the clearing looking shocked.
"What's wrong with you two" Nicole said brushing past Jake.
"Um, we thought we were going camping. You know camp fires and tents" Jake said staring at the girls.
"Yea, who are you trying to kid. Like you would get us two sleeping on the floor, do you think we are insane" Hayley said appalled that the guys thought that they would sleep in tents.
"Nope this cabin belongs to my uncle" Nicole said with a grin on her face. "And we are not alone up here there are cabins in nearly every direction"
The cabin looked so peaceful sitting there in the middle of the woods. The cabin looked old and warn the brown of the wood had faded.
"Come on, last one inside is cooking dinner" Nicole declared as the 4 older teens ran inside the cabin, oblivious to what was going on in the cabin 10 minutes away.
10 minutes away there was another cabin that looked remarkably like Nicole's uncles cabin, the place looked just as peaceful, but boy can looks be deceiving. Inside the cabin in the room that would be classed as the living room, bang in the middle lied a body of a middle aged woman with blood and massive gashes all over her body. The furniture and wall were covered in blood splatter.
Outside a man was frantically crawling to his parked pick up truck. He had just reached the door of his truck when another man came out the cabin this one thou was wielding an axe.
This man was about 6'7 he was wearing a pair of faded blue jeans which was now covered in blood, he had a red and white working mans shirt on which was also covered in blood, a pair of combat boots and a Lakers base ball cap.
He walked to the guy who was trying to unlock his pick up truck; he raised the axe up in the air and swung the blade down. Then with one last cry. The man's head flew off his shoulders and the blood splattered over the grass and pick up.
The man took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the axe clean, and then he dropped it next to the man. He bent down and started to use his fingers to write a message in the blood, he stood up and walked back in to the cabin.
The message read.
A gift from me to you two K.S & S.R
