The Tire Swing

Chapter 1

On June 11th, 2015, two girls Annie(8th) and Grace (4th) were playing outside. The day was bright, the breeze was calm, few clouds in the sky, it was perfect. Annie checked her watch which read "12:02 Pm". Nothing could go wrong, "A day like this can't go to waste." Annie sighed in relief. "Oh my gosh! Annie let's play on the tire swing!" Grace shouted. Annie looked a little worried, she hadn't been on that thing in at least 3 years. " Uhm, yeah let's do that." she smiled nervously. The two girls ran to the tire swing in the backyard. A long road of pebbles led them to a large oak tree with a tire swing built in the 60s when their grandmother put it up. Behind was a hill that had been stripped of trees, originally made for farming, but that never happened. Grace jumped on the swing and a large eerie CREEK came from the branch holding the weak rope. "Maybe we shouldn't do this" Annie pleaded, but Grace would not listen to her sister's begs to not get on. "I will do this, and prove the Grey's honor!" Grace stated, standing on the swing pointing her finger out like a captain, "Now sail across the sea so I and my crew can see the world and find mother and father!" Annie started to push. "Sit down, please," said Annie. "Excuse me, that's Captain Grace to you, missy! Now push me higher we need more speed!!" The tire swing got higher, the creeks and squeaks got louder. Annie tried to stop the sing, SNAP, "AHH! ANNIE!"... Silence broke her screams. No crying. No whining. Nothing. Annie ran down the hill to see her sister's bloody forehead wound. "MAMA! PAPA! JASON!" The entire family ran as fast as they could to see what was the matter. Mama screamed and almost fainted. Pa picked up Grace within an instant. Jason stared. "W-what happened?...." Annie's eyes cried and begged for Grace to wake up. 12:10 PM, sharp...
