The Monster In My Town(Andley)#wattys2017

Prologue

Ashley's POV.

I sighed as i set the box i was carrying on the ground and looked up and my new house. it wasn't big it was two-story, i loved it it had a happiness like tone to it. i was about to pick up my box when one of the moves grabbed it and offered to take it inside. 

"oh yes please it's a little heavy for me" i said blushing. the moving was very good looking he had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. and you could tell he worked out, and he worked out a lot. he smiled and winked walking back into the house, i looked around the where my house was. i could see some people staring and other trying to b sneaky and look through there windows. i smiled and waved before walking into my house.

the movers where done and told me they hope i enjoy it here, the light brown hairs one who's name is Carl gave me his number. i nodded and told them all goodbye and thanked them. i closed the door and sighed, i looked at all the boxes i needed to unpack. i looked at my watch and saw that it was already five o'clock. 

i didn't have to start work for another two weeks since im a teacher and they have summer off. i let out another breath and began to unpack my stuff. this was mostly likely take me the rest of the day and tomorrow and maybe the day after but i really need to get it done.

i had gotten three boxes unpack and  i was working on the fourth when i heard a knock on the door. i frowned who would be visiting at seven at night, i walked to the door to see a small boy crying.

"oh my, honey what's wrong?" i asked getting down to his sizes looking at the condition he was in. he was covered in dirt and what looked like blood, he was crying hard and i could barley understand him. he had a envelope in  his hand that looked like it was covered in blood as well and a suitcase.

"he hurt them" he said after he calmed down a little. i was about to ask what was he was talking about when i heard sirens. they drove to the house a few down from mine and a police officer walked over to me.

"do you know what happen?" he asked me.

"no i was just unpacking my things when this little boy knocked on the door." i said pointing to the boy hiding behind me. i told the officer to come in, while i made us some coffee.

he had taken the envelope from the boy and read it, it seems as though the parents where prepared if something happened to them. the papers inside where them signing over their right to who ever could take care of him. 

the police officer told me as much as he could about the situation, i looked at the boy who fell asleep in the chair. i had more then enough room for him. so i signed the papers saying i would be his legal parent. thank gosh i had two beds and they were set up by the moves, i picked him up and laid him in his new room. i found out his name is christian coma he is so cute.

wow i have only been here for 3 hours and i already have a kid and a murder that happen just a few doors down. i hope this doesn't happen often i don't want to see anyone else get hurt.

but little did i know this was only the beginning...
