Prologue-

A young girl, about fourteen, sat in her bed with her radio playing "How do you like me now?" by Toby Keith. She sang along quietly. A silvery white husky with a light brown backing and circles around his eyes laid at her feet with his head in between his paws. His eyes were slowly closing when a knock came at the door. His eyes shot open and his head came up to look at where the noise had come from. The girl didn't move at all, not caring about the knock.

A woman's voice called from the other side of the door. "Shut the radio off! It is loud and obnoxious! Go do something useful!"

The girl grumbled and turned the radio down a little. It had gone to commercial anyway.

The voice called again. "Thank you." It said, but obviously didn't mean it. "I'm going out for most of the night, don't leave the house. Got it Kate?"

The girl, apparently named Kate, answered quietly, "Yeah got it, bye." She muttered, barely hearing what the woman had to say.

Little clicks of heels against the hard wood floor of the hallway outside Kate's bedroom indicated that the woman was gone. The sound of a car starting up and silently fading indicated that the woman was gone, possibly until the next afternoon.

Kate sat up, turning the radio completely off as she watched the woman's car's head lights disappear. She turned to the husky and scratched him behind the ear. "Come on, time to explore the woods." She said excitedly. Glad she was on the first floor; she opened her window and crept through it. The husky leaped through it moments later and barked happily. Kate put a hand on his muzzle to silence him then ran off for the woods behind her house. Soon the two came to the edge of a clearing and sat down by a tree to catch their breath. A moment later there was a loud shouting and scream of pain. The husky perked his ears and ran towards it, fighting all instincts to howl at the smell of blood.

Kate followed, trying to be silent. She crouched beside some bushes and looked at the far corner of the clearing, straining her eyes to see in the dark forest. She could just barely make out a man lying on the ground, his chest dark with a liquid-like substance.

Her husky growled softly beside her, his eyes trained on another shadowy figure running off into the woods with two objects in his hands, what looked like a stick, and a knife. Curious to what was going on, Kate crept forward to the man lying on the ground. She trusted her dog to tell her if the other man was coming back, but the brown husky stayed silent.

From what she could tell of the man on the ground, was that he was in a light brown suit with blood pooling around his stomach, not breathing. She searched him over and her eyes stopped on his decorations. From which, she figured out what he was. Scared, she backed away slowly from the dead body then raced back to her house.
