Thanks to SiriusEdwardLover for the advice for the chapter situation!
See, I wasnt sure whether to fill in before the prologue, or just jump right in.
So, here is some background information on the characters, and the story.
Summary before prologue: About two weeks ago, early October, there were reports of multiple dissapearances. All the victims dissapeared in about the same area: the nearby woods. Police didnt find most victims bodies, but one was found completely drained of bodily fluids. Police have no leads as to who is commiting these crimes. The locals of Rock Hill (this is the town, and it is completely fictional. If it in any real way is similar to a real location, it is purely coincidental. I believe that there may be a Rock Hill in South Carolina, but this location is in no way related to the real one.) are taking precautions; locking windows and doors, not going into the woods alone, especially at night, which is when most abductions seemed to take place.
Cindy: narrator, was training for her schools cross-country team during prologue. Not very social, had one true best friend, Zoe. Misses Zoe alot, cries over her death every night. (see explanation for Zoe below) Has two parents, one older brother who is attending college out of state. Dedicated to academics and athletics, she is a very loyal friend, and doesnt give up on anything whether it matters or not. Becomes sarcastic and touchy when aggravated or insulted. Cindy becomes extremely paranoid while alone or in the woods, or in the dark, since it brings back the memory of Zoe.
Zoe: Best friend of Cindy. More dedicated to cross-country then Cindy, ran every day. Was practicing one night, took a trail in the woods, and was murdered. Her body was not ever found, but police and Cindy suspect it was the same person who killed the other people. Very easy-going. May be referenced in further chapters.
If there is anything I left out, or you have any questions, please let me know and I will answer and/or add anything that I forgot.
