CHAPTER 1

It started out like any other shift.. Nice and quite around this little speck on the Map.. Manville, Tx population 500.. Everyone knows everyone round here.. Close knit, hard workin folks.. Neighbors helpin neighbors kinda thing.. I always start a shift with a fresh cup of coffee and a smoke..

I sat down at my desk.. To enjoy the early Morin alone.. Then the phone rings.. I set my coffee down and picked the line up.. Hello, Manville police department.. Hello are u there?

Ummm yes! There's been an accident.. There's been a what? A accident you say? Yes.. There's a car off to the side of the road and It looks pretty torn up.. Ok are you hurt?

No.. It's not my car.. Ok.. Does It look like anyone's hurt? No.. It's empty.. What do You mean It's empty.. I mean no ones Inside.. Alright Stay with the car and I'll send a couple units..

I hang the receiver up & scratch my head.. This Is new.. I mean accidents are common n the big city's but around here It's strange.. I get on the CB radio.. Trent u out there? This Is sheriff Brannon..

I was commuting over the hill and I seen smoke so I slowly pull next to the car.. I noticed right away It was empty.. I looked around & didn't c anyone around..

It looks awful torn up.. Ok Trent I'll stay here with Tom you go take a look around.. Alright sheriff I'll look.. Minutes pass as I talk with Tom.. All of a sudden Trent comes Runnin up he's sweating and out of breath.. What's wrong son..

Give Tom a flashlight Were gonna need all the light we can get..

We start to move through the woods.. Tom behind us.. Stay close Trent says.. What was that? Did y'all here that? No.. We didn't hear anything Trent..

Just stay calm son.. This time of night and these ol woods can play tricks with ur mind..

Lets Just keep movin so we can get the hell out of here.. Upon arrival at the crime seen I noticed blood everywhere.. So much blood! The body's Just mangled and torn apart.. What the hell done this sheriff..

I don't know I've ever seen anything like this before.. Could It be wolf's or a bear? I'm Just not sure yet guys..

Give me a second to think! In the distance I here What sounds like footsteps so I shine my light towards the woods..

Who's there? Come out now or I will be forced to engage my firearm.. So I suggest you come out now!

Oh.. Okay sheriff please don't shoot.. Kenny what the hell are you doin all the way out here? I was curious sheriff.. Curious my ass young man..

Oh my god! Tom cover Kenny's eyes now.. No! Don't I wanna see to! What Is It? How many do you think there are? I'm not sure maybe 10 or so.. No way these are all from one car..

Where did they come from then? I hav no idea Trent.. I have no freaking idea..

Do you think we should call the boys from the town over? Mayb they could help.. I'm pretty sure they've never seen anything like this either..

We should get out of here until day break not anything we can do now, In all this darkness.. Trent, take Mr. Benson home and I'm gonna take Kenny to his parents..

No.. I don't wanna go home.. I hate that place! They beat me! You shouldn't say that stuff Kenny I know your parents and they care about you very much..

We'll maybe they do.. But I still don't like It there.. Upon dropping Kenny off.. I stumble In my ol house.. Eyes are so heavy.. Can't help but think about those poor souls..
