Chapter 1

Year 2013

The night was cold and dark as she stumbled on the dirt road. "Just a few more blocks to go." she told herself.
Kree continued walking. There were no stars tonight, and it was somewhat hard for her to find her way.
The road was deserted, and she gasped as she noticed the house on her right. The lights had suddenly come on. Kree walked slowly towards the house, but the closer she walked, the less of a house it looked. Instead, it looked like an old, dilapidated prison facility. It gave Kree the creeps.
A cold shiver ran down her spine, and sweat started forming on her brow, "I've never noticed this before." she whispered under her breath. The chills were no longer from the cold as she continued to stare at the building.
Finally, she turned around and ran. Her mom looked up with a start when Kree slammed the door to their home.
Kree stood against the door, panting. Her heart was still pounding in fear.
Lily raced to her daughter and put her hand to her daughter's forehead, "Kree...are you okay? What's wrong?"
Kree didn't seem to hear her at first, but then she looked up as she started calming down, "There was this...house. I have never seen it before. It was so creepy." Kree shivered once again as she remembered the barred windows. She could have sworn she had seen a shadow behind one of them.
Lily looked at Kree worriedly for a minute and then led her to the table, "Sit down. Dinner is almost ready."
