Chapter 1
"Fine! You know what? You can go to hell Jace!" Lauren slammed the door behind her and ran into her small apartment screaming at the cell phone she gripped in her hand. She aggressively clicked the end call button before her now ex-boyfriend could continue trying to reason with her.
"God, he is such an ASS!" she yelled out as she collapsed onto the ratty old couch in the middle of her living room. If he thought that she would come back to him after she caught him with Jessica, he was wrong! After getting up off of her couch and shrugging off her favorite leather jacket, she walked over to her small, vomit-green colored refrigerator. Maybe some of the emergency Jack Daniels that she kept there would help drown out this feeling of murderous rage she felt in the bottom of her stomach.
After she had filled up her flask, she poured some of the liquid down her already burning throat. It caused some pain, but it was no comparison to the pain she felt in her heart at this time. After about an hour or so, Lauren felt reasonably drunk and decided it was time for her to hit the sack. She slowly staggered into her bedroom, nearly tripping over the piles upon piles of dirty clothes that littered the bottom of her bedroom floor. Just as she climbed into bed, she remembered; "Crap, I forgot to check the closet."
Lauren walked over to her small closet and flipped the light switch on. She reached into the back of the closet and unlocked a small, hidden cupboard that was hidden behind her coats. She opened the cupboard to reveal a small arsenal of knives and handguns that she owned. After taking inventory, she decided that no person OR thing had payed her apartment a visit while she was gone earlier. It was really quite difficult, being one of the only hunters in Michigan; you couldn't call anyone for backup if anything were to happen to you, you had to fend for yourself up here.
She slowly shut and locked the cupboard before returning to her warm cocoon of blankets. Once her head hit the pillows, It was only a matter of seconds until she began to drift off into a world full of nightmares...
