As I drive to Santa Carla, the sun was almost up. The road was empty, so I could drive over the speed limit. Five years is a long time been away from your family, now I'm here moving in with Lucy and her husband Max.
In that five years, I finnished my schooling, finishing my GCSE's. After school I did a training course, what Gran'pa paid for. In my five years, I lived with my father Jon, and his new wife Barbara. Barbara she was okay, a little dumb, the best way we got along was to keep out each others way.
Five years ago, Lucy found my father at work. She walked into his office, stood there fully naked my father, Barbara nalked on his desk. He works as a police officer. I watched my mother brake, they broke her heart, ripped our family apart for a while. Barbara was a married woman, with three daughters, with a loving husband.
The divorce proceedings was horrible, Jon got everything leaving Lucy with nothing in her name. We went round house to house, asking if people had anything cleaning, so we could bring in abit of money in. Moving from BNB to BNB was a nightmare, we got kicked out at six in the morning, then waiting till opening time till three in the afternoon.
Spending day's at court, we heard our father say, he wasn't bothered about us kids, he didn't even want us. That hurt us, like ripping out hearts out. So Lucy got the custady of her son's, while I stayed with my father to finish school.
The other reason I stayed was that, I gave information to a friend, putting it into papers, exposing his cheating life. I got a good amount of money, so I sent the money by card to help Lucy out, with money problems.
I came to the sign, what read "Welcome To Santa Carla" in bright orange writing. I stopped the car, looking up to the sky. I grabbed my camera out the back seat of my car, taking some pretty good pictures of the view of the ocean, and the sky. I also took a picture of the "welcome" sign.
I wanted to take these picture's for my kids, in a few years time, Santa Carla might be very different. I was going to walk to my car, till I saw the back of the welcome sign. On the back it was sprayed in red writing "Murder Capital Of The World." I shrugged my shoulders, some one has a scense of humor. I snapped a good couple more pictures for my collection.

I fell flat on my face. I shook my head feeling a little bit dizzy, turning around while sitting on my bum, I pulled my knees up to my chest. Looking down to my boots, there was a red scarf wrapped around my boots. Carefully, unwrapping the scarf making sure I didn't rip it. In my hands the scarf was silk, lovley and soft. There were oil marks and dark red patches staining it. I will have to clean it later. Holding the scarf I noticed I felt relaxed. There was some sort of tug in my chest.
About five mintues later, watching the sun rise, I had to get a move on. I walked back to my BMW. Putting the camera and scarf in the passenger seat, I started the car. I was hungry, I didn't have any breakfast, I was in a rush to leave that hell hole. Pulling over to a 50s styled caf'e, I spotted a pay phone in the corner. Dialing Lucy's house number there was no answer, only rings and answer mechine.
Giving up, I ordered a large cup of coffee with extra cream, also an iced bun to go with it. Waiting for my order, I started looking around. The caf'e had lemon coloured walls, the tiles on the floor were white and black. The table's didn't take much room, the cloth covering the table was white and black palka-dott.
Then I remembered, I felt so stupid. Lucy owned the video store with Max. Sam told me they don't get in till about's half four in the morning, so they sleep most of the day. But that's no excuse for Michael and Sam not to answer the phone. There both grown men, lazy. Well Sam will be nearly eighteen next week, I hope he still likes comic's, I brought him Batman number fourteen. It cost me an arm and a leg. I looked at the clock, shit the time is only seven thirty. God I'm so early.
I drove around for fifteen mintues, following the instructions what Lucy has gave me. Finally I had made it to Max's house. The house was nice, big looking and beautiful decorated in white and cream. The garden was covered in different types of flowers what I don't know the name off. Also, there was a swing hanging from a big willow tree. I could hear sound of a pond, Sam had told me the pond goes all the way round Max's home.
I got out the car, slamming the door a little to hard causing the car window to vibrate. I wince. Sometimes I don't know my own strength.
"Hello." I shouted.
God I sound so timid.
No answer.
"Mom. Its your only daughter." I shouted again.
Still no answer.
"Sam...Mike."
Nothing.
I groaned, stomping my feet like a spoilt child. Opening the gate, it creaked when it closed behind me. Walking slowly towards the house, no one opened the door to welcome me.
What welcomed me was a big white dog. The dog ran at me, barking and snapping it's teeth. I started running back, I was so close to jumping over the gate, the dog bit at my ankles. I screamed in pain when I fell on the floor. The dog started dragging me back to the house, shaking it's head, shreading my skin and bone, they pain was unbearable. I never seen a dog with so much strength.
I used my free leg, kicking the dog in the head. The dog let go, then attacked me again biting my back leg. I never felt the pain this time, I think I was in shock. Blood covered my leg, and the wooden path. The dogs fur was covered in my blood, covered in pink and white patches where my blood has stained.
The dog stopped biting when I heard another growl, great probably the alpha mutt.
"Great. I'm going to become dog food." I thought.
Squeezing my eyes shut tight, I waited for my fate, but nothing came. Slowly opening my eyes, Nanook had the white dog by the throat pinning it down.
I managed to climb over the fence, pain eating away at my bones. Jumping in the car, I pulled my leg on my leg it was awful. Bits of muscle was hanging out, my skin was ripped to shreads, and started to go numb. Teeth marks covering all my leg ankle to knee.
"Great. I good day to wear shorts." I thought.
Starting the car, heading to Santa Carla hospital. Before heading of I opened the car window and shouted...
"Pissing hell hound."
