The Dark Little Secret
Hey Guys! Been a while since I've uploaded, and this is my first SP Fic! Just a random idea that popped into my head. Plot ideas are welcome. Enjoy! (I'll expand this chapter when I get time/if you guys like it :P)

Melissa Edgley pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine, turning her head to smile at Alice in the back seat. Alice smiled back, flailing her arms around.
"Out!" she cried. Melissa grinned softly, undid her seat belt and slipped out of the car. Moments later she closed the car doors, Alice supported by an arm, and locked the car with a beep with a click of the keyring. She dug the house keys from her bag and opened the front door.
"Steph?" she called, "We're home." And then she heard the cry.
"Mum! Help!" Melissa's eyes widened and she ran into the living room in time to see her daughter on the floor, blood leaking from her mouth, and a figure in black with dark hair smashing through the patio doors. She ran towards her daughter, dropping to her knees beside her.
"Are you okay?" She asked frantically, eyes looking over Steph for any injuries.
"Yeah..." She mumbled, and Melissa turned her head to the smashed patio doors, trying to get a better description to give the police, just in time to see the figure looking at her before she jumped the fence. Melissa's breath caught in her throat. That face... The dark eyes, the dark hair, the saddened eyes filled with tears. That oh-so familiar face. The face of her daughter. Stephanie's face.
