Prologue
When I first came to Tashmore Lake, I had mo idea what to expect. I mean a pregnant teenager who was forced to move from New York City to a town of less than a thousand people, where everyone knows everything about everyone else. Forced to move away from my friends, Adam, and the greatest city in the entire world! Yeah, you'd be upset, too.
I guess I'd better introduce myself, I'm Cheyenne. I'm fifteen years old and two months pregnant. I've lived in the wonderful town of Tashmore Lake for about two weeks. Thank God my parents decided to move after school ended for the summer. I guess they didn't want me to make too big of a transition so quickly after moving here. We live in a cute little townhouse by the lake after which the town is named.
Even though we haven't lived here long, we keep hearing about a man by the name of Mort Rainey. He's a very successful author who has recently been suspected of killing his ex-wife and her lover. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I get chills sent down my spine every time I think about it. I just hope that I don't have an unfortunate run-in with him anytime soon.
