Prologue
The stench that now surrounded Joanna Heartly didn't make the harbor any nicer. If she had known that her brand new Andrea Conti sandals have to face the tough reality of getting sloppy in the gutter the day she bought them, she would have impregnated them before her dare, but Joanna didn't really have the time to think about important things like that. She's a freshman in college which means she first had to prove that all the money her family owns doesn't keep her from turning away from them.
The shovel she held in her right hand got heavier with every minute and gave Joanna the feeling of safety. She wasn't exactly a beautiful or intelligent girl, she was rich and for the majority , that was enough, but Joanna Heartly had common sense, at least enough of it to understand that what she was about to do didn't only break the laws, but also every ethics. Nevertheless, she let herself be persuaded to do it. Her common sense she had been so proud of once and now warned her of coming danger wasn't enough to just say "No". Even though Joanna would rather throw all of her designer clothes out of the window before admitting that after all she was just a follower. And deep inside her, she knew it was true.
She was laying on the ground before she could even realize what was happening. One sandal fallen into the dirty water and with a scratch on her left hand, Joanna tried to get up as graceful as possible only to notice that the thing she held on to wasn't just a thing, but a human.
The scream released by Joanna could have actually woken up the dead, but the human, the corpse laying infront of her didn't move an inch and Joanna had to take a few deep breaths to force back her nausea.
After some minutes that seemed like hours to Joanna, she noticed the garment the female corpse was wearing. A beautiful strapless black dress. Thanks to the dark, Joanna couldn't make out anything else than that and though she knew that the devil would get her for her next deed she decided to do it.
The dare was to open one of the graves at the cemetery close to the harbor and get soemthing from that grave. And could there be anything better than a corpse's dress?
And while Joanna stole the dress from the young woman's body, she couldn't stop the feeling that suddenly hit her: A feeling telling her that her whole future just changed.
