Disclaimer: Don't own the OC. The characters that I borrow from Texas Chainsaw were created by Scott Kosar. The lyrics at the beginning of each chapter belong to Eric Balfour's (Eddie and Kemper) band, FredAlba.

Author's Notes: I have not forgotten my other story, I'll back to it soon (I promise). This story is the first time I've ever used Anna in a fic and is my explanation of why Eddie and Kemper look alike (not that anybody was wondering). Enjoy!

Revelation

Chapter 1

You gotta bob and weave cause they try to deceive

You gotta cover your wounds don't let 'em see you bleed

August 18, 2004 was a boring day for Anna Stern, until she found the box.

She shouldn't have left her dream world in Newport. During her short stay in Newport she had felt normal. She had a boyfriend, even through he had been in love with another girl the whole time. She had friends, that didn't know her mother had been in and out of mental institutions since the early seventies. She envied her friends for their normalcy. Normalcy that she had never had the luxury, until Newport, of enjoying.

She'd thought that she would stay in Newport until she had graduated from high school, but that didn't happen.

Her plan for normalcy was shattered on a Saturday early in February. Her mother called her, just like she did every Saturday since Anna moved with her father from Pittsburgh.

The phone call started ordinary until her mother asked the question, "So President's Day is coming up soon, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I think it's another few weeks or so," Anna replied calmly. She had learned early on that she always had to come to calm with her mother. Not the easiest thing for a five year to grasp.

"I was wondering if you might want to come out for the long weekend," Her mother suggested. Anna was silent for a bit. Sure she missed her mother. But did she really want to go back to walking on egg shells and sleepless nights?

"Yeah, I'll come," Anna answered knowing that in a few weeks she'd be leaving Newport for good.
