Chapter 2
The gunshots raw sound echoed through the little town of Cabot Cove, ricochetting off its open land, aswell as in and around its small houses. Shortly followed by the gunshot, a piercing scream rang out.
"Oh My god!" Cried Jessica.
Suddenly she found herself falling fast towards the pavement, trying desperately to support the very weak and frail body of Seth. As they both reached the ground, a pool of crimson started to form on the cold, solid concrete beneath Seth's body. Jessica gazed down at the blood in a trance-like state. Her eyes then trailed to where the assailant had stood, only to see nothing but the distant outline of a small object fading into the darkness. Shocked at what she had witnessed, Jessica sat, almost paralysed trying to bring herself to believe what had actually just happened.
"Jess... are you... alright?" He whispered. By this time, his breathing had become shallow, and the colour had drained from his face. Jessica looked down to see a very vulnerable Seth looking up at her.
"Me?... Wh-what about you?" She cried. The tears began to trickle down her cheeks. A sudden fear of losing a dear friend and so much more flashed across her mind, What would she do without him? From that feeling sprouted a cry in anguish "Somebody help me, anybody! Please! Help Me!"
She kept calling and calling in the hope of some sign of help to appear from the darkness, but every minute seemed like every hour.
