Chapter 1
To Alex life was her friends, New York city , her school...but everything was changing. There are ups and downs in having two very dedicated doctors as your parents and sometimes worse when one works around dead bodies but she never thought she'll have to move because if it.
The last year of high school, you've just turned eighteen and the world seems so full of interesting stuff and suddenly your mom breaks out to you that you are moving to some place in the middle of the woods where people talk to each other than text and have no idea what instagram is.
"Mom please it's my last year, I can't leave. I'll stay with Julia, I'll call you everyday. Mom please I'm a straight A student and I haven't gotten in any trouble at all, please just let me stay." Anger was boiling inside her but somehow she kept it in.
"Alex we have to, I know it's hard for you but we can't just leave you here and your dad can't refuse this offer. Just give this town a chance, who knows maybe you'll like it there, maybe you'll find some new friends."
A mocking laugh escaped her lips"You don't get it do you? I don't need any new friends and you know what, I HATE YOU" with that she stopped fighting because she knew there was no point in arguing. She loved her family but sometimes it's frustrating.

With the headphones plugged in, she pretended to avoid her parents' try to talk to her. She stared out the window and slowly the city faded away from her view and all around her the dark woods surrounded her and the feeling of leaving everything she ever knew enveloped her heart.
She had slipped away into a sleep and when she opened her eyes she saw the sign it read 'Welcome To Devil's Creek' and she knew she was a long way from New York. The town came into view, she was taken a bit aback, she expected dark and a dire town but it was somehow different. There were people on the streets, there was a small pack where children played there were no malls like in New York but there was shops and small boutiques and the town was definitely more cheerful than she imagined it to be. 'Maybe' she thought 'Maybe she could like it here.'
The car entered a small path through the woods to a house. A two storey beautiful house, not like the fancy ones in New York but vintage. The floor boards creaked as Alex stepped on it. It was bigger than the one she lived in New York. The hand rails had a thing layer of dust on them. She climbed upstairs, there was a door right to her left. She opened it and found her self in a well lighted but dusty room. "Wow" she said to herself. Their furniture was already there, covered in white clothes.
"It good isn't it?" Alex turned to see her father standing at the door. They had the same blue eyes but unlike him he had dark black hair like her mom and she liked it long, her dad dark brunette hair like her grandma's. He walked into the room. "This is your room, you like it?''
Alex nodded her head but she kept silent. "Look Ali I know it's hard but.." he sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the place right next to him for her t sit down, Alex sat down and her dad took her hand." But stuff lie this happens in your life, you just have..Okay I admit I'm sorry but.."
"Dad.." Her dad had never been that good at any kind of talks and she knew it. "It's okay, I mean it's not that bad actually. I might like it here. She put her on her dad's shoulder "I love you Dad. "I love you too Ali, you mean everything to us.

Somewhere in the darkness of the woods two red eyes stared at the blue eyed girl and somewhere a dark shadow was waiting for it's chance.
