Chapter 1: The Plan
"I don't think this is a good idea." I stated while being pulled by my best friend Ashley.
"Don't worry about it. We won't get caught. Besides its Halloween," replied Ashley while pulling me along by my arm.
As Ashley had said its Halloween. I hate this holiday, only because of my history with it. Because of this I don't want to talk about it now. Wouldn't want to spoil everything in the first chapter now would I?
About Ashley, she has been my friend for seven years and through it all she has had my back. She was the type of girl who got along with everyone. Tan skin with perfect reflection fit her features, along with a birthmark on her left cheek. Her eyes were a sea blue that went well with her thick eyelashes. Soft, straight brown hair fell over her shoulders and ended in the middle of her back.
To this day I'm still surprised that she hung around me. I am the type of person who wouldn't want to be smacked with humiliation for saying something stupid. This was hard though since I stuck out for being too quiet at school.
My appearance compared to Ashley wasn't off though. I had golden blond curly hair that ended in a wavy shape on my shoulders. Along with that my emerald-green eyes seemed to pop out and I also had a tan complexion.
Ashley kept pulling me across the park rather quickly as the sand flew everywhere. The sky was going into twilight soon and I wouldn't able to see soon.
I scoped the area if anyone looked suspicious of what we were about to do. The only person that I would ever think to suspect me is my brother Chris. Right now he was my guardian since my parents were on vacation in Hawaii.
Like me he had the same golden blond hair that sometimes hung in his eyes. Turquoise eyes that he had would be covered. He was with his guy friends. I knew a couple of them but not all. One of them was Derek, the playboy of the group. The one that had wild orange hair and hazel eyes that always got the girls no matter what he did. I figured the reason behind it was because of his boyish looks.
Another was Alex, the quiet one. He came over once and at first he was hard to talk to but in the end he was able to warm up to me. Light brown hair that was short made him look attractive along with his glasses that made him look like a scientist.
Before I could make out what they were talking about trees engulfed around Ashley and I. There was a brief idea of where we were going but I might as well ask.
"Where are we going?" Curiosity filled my voice when I said this. She looked back to see if I was being sarcastic or not. Instead of answering she asked a question right back at me.
"Remember the conversation we had before fall break. You know the one about new discoveries?" I nodded in response since we stopped walking when she asked this.
This conversation was about how right now life was boring and we wanted to see something new and interesting. I didn't take this conversation seriously since…well…we talked about it at lunch.
"Well since its Halloween why don't we explore the forest and see what we can find." This didn't seem like a bad idea. I wanted to see something new. Once again we began walking again this time without Ashley pulling me. It grew darker and darker as we walked further into the deep forest until we came upon light. My curiosity overcame me as the question floated in my mind. I couldn't quite see what was going on so both Ashley and I climbed a pine tree that was close enough that we wouldn't be heard. Its branches were big enough to support us. The scene we were about to experience was something I shouldn't have ever seen.
