Prologue.

The sun had begun to set in the distant hillside that surrounded the small market town of Middleton on the Northern Coast of England. The town was quietly starting to settle down for yet another dark, cold and dismal night which quite frankly was nothing new to the Judgmental residents of the small unknown town, especially for the children whom lived there with their more than what people were able to class as over protective parents and guardians.

How could you possibly be able to describe a group of people who seemed so self centered, that seemed to need constant involvement in the everyday life of their so called 'Friends and Neighbors'? To watch their every set of movements with a eye of sheer disgust and Judgement to which it did not concern them what so ever. Well what ever the word was you could use to name that crowd sadly was not enough for the townsfolk who lived in Middleton as they seemed to top these people on a whole other level. It's all the town seemed to attract to society.

Middleton in sight looked as though it was the near picture perfect place to live. Well who could not make that mistake seeing the perfectly straight rows of modern houses standing tall above a road of old and grey cobble stone. The air was perfectly clear from any sign of fumes and pollution. In general the town seemed to fit the scene of a fairytale story far more than reality. Cars and other motor vehicles were no where to be seen around the town all that was scene was a beautiful park with a pure blue lake just of to the left hand side, the edges covered with woodland swarmed with wildlife.

Although Middleton was not a known town to many of the English folk, everyone who resided in the town seemed to know everything about the place. Not just what was going on in the every day scenes but the past as well? How the small town once had played the home to one of the greatest tragedies of the near recent times. For not too long ago a deathly scene occurred on the western side of the silent town. Though as mentioned it seemed like no such tragedy was imaginable to have corrupted the town sadly that was far from the truth.
