Natalie sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV. She turned it off and looked at her mother, who just got back from work.
"Hey sweetie."
"Whats with you and Maggie.."
"What do you mean?"
She started putting groceries away.
"A heart in a box and not telling me things...Emma and I came to see you and you where talking about these weird things."
She stopped. She closed the fridge door and walks into the living room.
"Its something that happened a while ago."
"Well the person who's sending things to Maggie is calling and texting Emma and I."
The door bell of the house went off.
Teresa went to the door and opened it. She bent down and picked up a black plastic bag. She closed the door and Natalie got up and ran to her side.
Her mother put it on the kitchen side and read a note that was hanging from the bag.
"Surprise...who do you think is in here."
Her mother looked at Natalie and started to rip it up.
They both jumped back and covered there noses.
"What the...mom?"
She started to tear up. She looked into the bag and it was a crow, dead with a piece of paper inside it.
"Is that lungs and intestines in the crow?"
"Yes Nat...pig lungs and intestines to be exact."
She opened the piece of paper and a picture fell. Natalie grabbed the picture and her mother read the note.
In the picture was a girl and two boys In halloween costumes.
"Is that you and dad? Who's the other guy...with the..."
She paused. She saw the mask that the killer had on.
"That's Brandon...Brandon James."
Natalie froze and looked at her.
"Nat...this letters for you."
She gave it to her daughter and Natalie read it.
"There's 4 of you in your group...who's gonna get cut."
And below the text where 4 pictures of 4 girls taped on.
"Emma...Brooke...Riley and...me."
Teresa ran to the phone and called the chief and even Emmas mother.

*Time later*

"Natalie!"
Natalie was again sitting on her sofa when Emma ran in. Natalie was shaking, holding onto the note that she and her mother found.
The sheiff and Maggie where talking to Teresa and looking at what was delivered at their house.
"I heard what happened...can I see the note?"
Natalie gave it to Emma. She opened it and looked at it.
"I got a text...who should be next..."
She showed her phone to Natalie and it shown a picture with the 4 of us saying 'who's next?'
"Who's doing this to us...we didn't do anything to them."
"No...but our mothers did."
They both looked back at their mothers.
What did they get themselves into?
