Chapter 1:
This is the story of a small town called Yandeltown and all the things that happen in it that will make its inhabitants go crazy, from the outside it looks like a normal town, like the rest, but if you go inside you will see its deep shadows and darkness.
To be honest this is not the typical novel with love and heartbreak, soccer team and cheerleaders, (although also) the truth is a mixture of that and a little murder and who knows, even magic, because what would life be without adrenaline.
Well it would be nice to start with the last Saturday of the summer when everyone in Yandeltown could see only the first measly layer of the darkness that actually consumed them, there were several families there (obviously), one in specific, one of the most powerful ones: the Wilsons.
They were known for being very superficial and for having conflicts with almost the entire town, although they were the ones who sponsored most of the events.
As already mentioned it was Saturday to be exact, September 20, all citizens were surprised when they learned that the Wilson's youngest daughter had disappeared without a trace, no one knew how, when or even why, they only knew that this would greatly affect the family and therefore the whole town ("we will find her, sooner or later" some said to themselves, but they had no idea what had happened to their daughter or what was coming to them).
Abby Wilson was quite tall for her age, with silver hair with blonde highlights, she had incredible gray eyes that one could get lost in and she was incredibly kind and sweet, unlike the rest of her family members, she was 16 years old when she disappeared.
At first everyone thought two things: the first was that either she had run away from Yandeltown because of personal problems (the poor thing had many to decide on, which would be discovered late and would make the people of Yandeltown feel disappointed) and the second was that maybe there would also be murderers among the humble inhabitants of that town (this idea did not excite them much to say).
