PROLOUGE
I didn't ask for any of this to happen. Never in all of my 16 years of life, did I expect this. They're coming. They're coming for me, and for you, friend. If you don't want to be a part of this nightmare, close the book immediately. You're safety depends on the choice you make right now. Don't say I didn't warn you.
CHAPTER 1 – THE BEGINNING
My name is Anna. I am 16 years old, and I used to live in Salem, Virginia. I can't tell you anything else. The more you know about me, the more dangerous it is out there for you. Anyways, everything started on a normal day. I was getting ready for school that morning. Just out of the shower when I heard it, a horrible crash through one of the downstairs windows.
My mother screamed. My little sister, Lily, started yelling, "Who are you? Get out of our house!" I hurriedly got dressed and half ran, half jumped down the stairs. "Mom! Lily! Where are you?" I ran through the kitchen and saw where the intruder had come through. Breakfast dishes lay broken on the floor, orange juice spilt on the table. Where are they? I hadn't heard any screaming in minutes. "Anna? Anna! We're in here!" Lily cried. I ran to the broom closet, and opened the door.
"Anna!" I heard Lily's voice. It was coming from behind the TV, no, from upstairs? It sounded like she was everywhere. "Lily! Where are you?" I screamed. Her voice was everywhere. I wasn't just hearing it in the house; I was hearing it in my head. Stop. I thought. Stop! "STOP!" and it was quiet. There were no sounds. All around me, the colors started to blur. They started to blur together until it was all white. Everywhere was white. I don't remember fainting, but when I woke up, I was somewhere else. Somewhere much worse.
