Chapter One
Driving down a dirt road in the woodland area outside of the city, Danielle Holland, the daughter of a prominent scientist, was heading in the direction of her new home with some of her belongings in the trunk of her little red Pontiac she had for the last six years of owning it. Her father had recently gave her ownership of a cabin deep in the woods that the family used a lot but had stopped going to it shortly after the death of her mother several years ago. Her father had kept it going with doing work around it to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the exterior or interior, but he couldn't bring himself to stay there a lot since her memory was still fresh in his head. She missed her mother a lot as well, but she was glad that she had been given a chance to own a place that brought her such happiness when she was alive and towards the end of her existence before cancer took her.
She pulled the car into the driveway in front of the quaint, two-story log cabin home and brought the vehicle to a gentle stop prior to parking it. Danielle eased herself out of the driver side door with herself wearing a chocolate brown sweater to go with a denim jacket she had put on due to the cold weather that was in the air, a pair of denim jeans she was comfortable in, and black loafers. Her brown eyes scanned over the appearance of the place from where she stood while several strands of her curly, black hair hung down in front of her face. She made the gesture with one of her hands to brush it back behind one of her ears so her eyes could gaze fully upon the place that was to be her home.
It has been a long drive from the city to get here, but it is so worth it. Just knowing that this is going to be my forever home means the world to me. I will make mom proud with me having this instead of letting dad sell it to someone who might not treasure it as much as I will.
Her eyes glanced towards the sky to find the sun not in the heavens anymore but having dipped behind the mountains in the distance. Night was approaching and she needed to get herself inside of the place to see about getting her things unpacked and herself settled in for the evening before there was any attempt at her placing an order for some food for her to eat.
Removing herself from where she had been standing, Danielle walked to the back area where she had some of her belongings in the trunk of her car. She had her back towards a section of the woods that the place was located in the heart of while her hands worked her trunk to open up and reveal where a couple of large duffle bags were inside of it. Each of her hands got a hold of them by their handle, and brought them out to rest on the ground beside her feet. She got a hold of the lid and brought it down to close with her hands when her ears picked up on what seemed to be a light clicking sound from behind. Turning herself around, her attention focused in on the wooded area and watch for any sign of something being there.
Nothing. There was no sign of any of the tree limbs moving around or any noise of someone trampling on the private property that her family owned in the region. Not only that, but all the noises the animals usually made around this time of the day going into evening had become silent. It was as if the entire area had went completely quiet.
This is really weird. The woods are normally not this quiet. There is usually at least some noise going on inside of it. For it to be dead silent, there must be a predator in the area that is looking for its next meal and that is a cue for me to get my ass inside before it makes a meal out of me.
There were reports of bears, coyotes and mountain lions in the area who had went after campers and hikers. The couple that had lived through their ordeal had mentioned that the woods had gotten dead silent shortly before they were attacked by the animals. Her first night in her new home didn't need to be one where she was found a bloody mess from an animal attack.
Danielle gathered up the handles on the duffel bag and made her way to the front door of the cabin. She dug into a pocket of her jacket for the house key and slipped it into the door knob. Once she had heard the click, her hand on the key guided the front door to open up for her. She moved herself over the threshold of the cabin and put her bags down on the ground beside her feet before her attention moved back to the woods. Although she couldn't see anyone or anything, it felt like she was being watched by something that was remaining hidden for the time being. Her eyes lingered on the woods for a few more seconds before she closed the door, cutting herself off from the woods outside of her home.
