[[A/N ...yes i am well aware that this story has many grammatical and spellical(?) errors. i am NOT a genius...and i hate to revise. i actually have no idea what this is going to turn into. im sorry if this is really sucky, i am not perfect.]]

The girls walked down the street, talking and bickering about boys, academics, and sports, simultaneously blocking out the sounds of the night. If they hadn’t been quite so loud, December might have been alerted to footsteps behind her. She might have noticed the soft squeak of their rubber shoes, or the soft sound of their heavy breathing. But she remained oblivious to the sounds the the night, and of the killer. 

The pair of girls reached Cemy's friend's house, hugging and saying goodnights, confirming plans that would probably now never happen. And the last sound Cemy heard was the slamming of the front door, and a muttered word of farewell from behind her. And then she was dead. 


Several days later, Cemy's brother Drew sat on the steps of that same friend's house. The last place Cemy had been. The place they had found her, dead. His face was blank, and for the first time since anyone could remember, he was crying. People passed by on their way to school. No one stopped. So he sat there alone, not wanting to stay but not wanting to leave. Cemy’s body was long gone, but the yellow caution tape was still hanging loosely around scene. Her friend cleared her throat from behind him. Drew hurriedly wiped away his tears and turned around. 

“Hi,” The girl said weakly. He nodded his head at her, not able to trust his voice.
“Sorry,” He finally muttered, voice hoarse from the crying. "I'm leaving." Her eyes widened.
“No! You can stay.” He shook his head solemnly and stepped down off the porch. He hoped he didn’t have to go back to that place again. And as tears welled again in his bloodshot eyes, he, like his sister, didn’t notice that he was being watched.
