CHAPTER ONE:The Night
Amelia's pov:

The dark also speaks but I guess we do not pay utmost attention to the whispers of the night or maybe we can't decipher it,maybe because we are too scared to even try to interpret it.
Silence had taken over the town,when I decided to set out on my very dangerous mission,the birds chirping, the cold breeze hitting my pale skin as I surged on,the sound of my worn boot on dry leaves was a refreshing sound,I was walking briskly like a woman on a mission to meet her forbidden lover....vanity of vanities,saith the preacher;all is vanity.My mom always told me to choose my vanities wisely,funny right........as I surged on I also payed attention to the whispers of the night...and as crazy as i sound to you right now,it told me to keep going,so I listened,treading the dangerous part of the woods, I knew there was no turning back,I was desperate for answers,I was desperate for the truth but as we all know desperation is a deadly disease,I knew I was getting close to where I was going,my heart beating frantically, beads of sweat trickling down my skin even though it was so cold.
Then I looked in front of me to my destination; the cementary,finally,i am here.On my quest to get the truth I never thought it was going to result to this but as I said desperation was really a deadly disease,i got to work and started digging,just a little more,just a little more,I told myself until I hit the coffin,i smiled at my little accomplishment,opening the coffin I brought out the corpse....Jesus forgive me for grave robbing but it's the only way.
Wrapping the body in a bag I walked briskly to the car I dumped the body in my booth and zoomed off.
I know you think am weird but living in a town like this was enough to mess with your head. I had to get the autopsy result because believe it or not,I knew there was a killer on the loose and I needed to get answers before he or she strikes again. So i drove all the way to Dr.Allen's to get answers.
"Good evening doc",i said.
" Evening you say Amelia, to what do I owe this pleasure".

"I need your help doc,I have a situation. I was hoping you could help me with something", and I brought out an envelope and stretched it out to him and immediately he knew what I wanted.

" Where's the body",he asked me,I was smiling triumphantly because I was going to get what I wanted, so with his help I got the body out of my car and i excused him as he carried out the autopsy... Forgive me abby for disturbing your peaceful sleep but I need answers, your death is the first and I am damn sure it won't be the last,some hours later the doc called me and identified the body as Abigail Smith's body and all the scars on her body pointed to murder and my greatest fear was confirmed.

"This is evil in flesh and blood",said Dr.Allen.whoever did this is out for blood.

I thanked the doc after he told me he was going to take care of the body and as I drove home that night a lot of thoughts crossed my mind, Who did this, for what reason,was the killer coming back for more, was the death a warning or was there more to it. I needed to sleep on it and seek more answers tomorrow but as of now I know this town is HAUNTED.
I know you are lost so let me refresh your minds by explaining who abby is and why I am so bent on finding the killer.
24th of March.
"Get the fuck out of bed lazyass",my friend abby said,dragging me out of bed.
"I hate mornings", I growled,she should know that by now,abby has been my best friend since high school since some random bitches decided that picking on me was the new black(permit me I think black is a really cool color). Now abby and I are still friends even after we finished college,talk about friendship goals,now abby was the life of the party while I was.....well I was me Amelia andrews, the nerdy one and I w.........splash!i opened my eyes to find myself in my bathroom.
"Why do you hate me so much",abby I asked shivering.
"Of course not Amelia,i don't hate you,i just want someone to follow me to the mall and that someone happens to be you".
After twenty minutes of death threats from abby I finally got ready to go out with abby. Getting into the car and planning to sleep through the ride,well don't blame me, as I said I am not a morning person.

"Rise and shine baby girl,we are here",I looked up to see that she were finally at the mall.. Ugh,I hate my life,well after hours and hours of shopping we finally headed home.

"Gosh abby why did you have to shop so much",i said massaging my swollen feets.

"Um,I have to visit my uncle and I want to make a good first impression because we have never met"....well that was weird,abby never talked about her family members. So the next day I had to see abby off to the airport for her flight to new York,God I was going to miss her but she Promised she wasn't staying long.
3rd of April

Abby called me in the morning telling me to pick her at the airport, so I drove down to pick her and as I saw my friend abby,I was shocked,ok maybe mortified,she had dark circles,she was looking rail thin,she had some scars on her face..

"Oh My Gosh,abby what happened to you",I asked her.

...."Um I am fine just a little bit stressed that's all",as I drove her home I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances at her,she looked so liveless.
When we got to my house,she went straight to bed while I made breakfast after few minutes,I went upstairs to call her, as I got there I noticed she was talking in her sleep,quietly at first then she started yelling,"please don't hurt me,please,please...
Abby,abby,Abigail and she woke up frightened with sweat all over and I pulled her into my arms and she said "he's coming for me,I don't know how long I can hide anymore,he will burn the whole world to get to me". Briskly she grabbed her things and stormed out of my house

Abby,please come back,we will figure this out
"No, she said, I just need to be alone for a few days,I will call you,I promise and that was the last time I heard from my friend at least before the police called me to identify her body.
Name:Abigail smith
Cause of death:suicide.
But deep down I knew they were hiding the truth because they were too scared to admit that our once peaceful town had become a hellhole.

Now that is why I am so interested in Abby's death.My only lead was to go her uncle's place in new York but I sat down to think I realised something abby never told me where exactly her uncle's place was and she never told me who was after her and why the person was so hellbent on hurting her,now that I am sure that it was murder.
A month ago all that mattered to me was finishing college and getting out of this town but now I really wanted to stay,if not for anything for my friend,abby.
Getting home,peeling off my clothes,I jumped into the shower to let the warm water do its wonders...i wish you were here mom to see your lovely daughter playing detective....I laughed to myself heartily, my mom died when I was still in high school, she taught me everything i know about life and she was my best friend before abby,she(my mom)always said"family most always come first,you have to do everything to make your family happy,you have to fight tooth and nail if it comes to that....and in the final analysis,Always choose family. Abby was my only family and she was taken away so I have to fight tooth and nail to get her back.
Finishing my shower,I laid on my bed thinking about what tomorrow will bring,but nevertheless I was sure of two things, two things that heightened my fear, two things that send chills through my body:
One:We have a killer on our hands
Two:He's coming back,maybe not to kill but to cover his tracks because my mom always told me "there is no perfect crime".
But I slept anyways not minding the tiny voice at the back of my mind telling me it wasn't over it was just the beginning................
