Chapter 1
Dear Theo,
My name is Dr. David Marrow, you may or may not remember me. It has been two years since our meeting, the day after we got out of the house on the hill. I heard that you got counseling, as did I, but I remember. Do you? Anyway, the house on the hill, it has just sat there for these last two years. No one has gone back- no one understands that the house is safe now. There is a letter going around to the small towns that lie somewhat near it. They want to tear the 300 year old home down. I didn't enjoy my stay there, you didn't enjoy you stay there- but its safe there now. Please help me, please help save this home, where Lili still lives. Please.
-Dr. David Marrow
"Frank! C'mon!" Theo yelled at her boyfriend.
"Oh shut up" he mumbled as he picked up the mail running to her in the car.
"God, finally" she put the car in gear and zoomed off. He quickly looked through the mail- throwing the parts he didn't want behind him, into the back seats in the car.
"Anything for me?" she asked zooming around people.
"Uh, yeah here" he put a letter in her lap. As she came to a stop light she picked up the letter to see who it was from. Dr. David Marrow.
"David Marrow. That sounds familiar." She thought aloud.
"What does babe?" he asked as the car behind them honked. She dropped the letter on the floor, but didn't have time to fish for it. She zoomed off trying to remember the name- and why it was so familiar. Then it hit her. She was frozen, she couldn't move, images of the house, and Lili, as the two-ton truck got closer and closer till it hit…
"I need twelve CC's! Ready?"
"Charging"
"Clear!" the shockers violently shook Theo.
"Pulse?"
"Steady"
"Breathing?"
"Starting" a group of paramedics called to each other. Theo started to wake. Everything was blurry- and she felt dizzy. She closed her eyes as they brought out the stretcher.
