Shannon swung a frying pan at my head.
I grab her wrist and stop her.
"Don't kill me!" She pleads.
"Shannon it's jacob" i hiss.
"Jacob? The boy who was looking for the suspects?" She asked.
"Yes why were you trying to beat me up" i said.
"Thought you were the killer" she mutters.
"Why would i be the killer?" I ask.
"Nothing" she replied quickly.
~~~~
I sat at my desk.
I ran my hands through my hair.
My mind raced who was the killer?
Two day i haven't found anything i know no one in this town.
I felt like i was going to start pulling my hair out of my head.
"Jacob walker?" I look up and see shannon.
I haven't seen her since she tried to beat me with a frying pan.
"Yea" i ask.
"Did you find the killer yet?" She asks.
Her fingers fiddled with the shirt she's wearing.
"No i don't know where to start" i mutter.
"Jacob meet my daughter" i see jack walking up.
"Dad we already met i kind of tried to smack him with a frying pan" she said.
He wraps a arm around her.
"She knows almost every person here anyways i know i'm putting you at risk but i have a idea" jack said.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Shannon my baby knows everyone she can help you only if you keep her safe" he said.
"I don't really want to put her in danger sir" i said.
"Do you got a lead?" Jack asked while raising a eyebrow.
"No but putting a citizen in danger is dangerous" i reasoned with him.
"Shannon can handle herself" jack said.
Did he really not see that she's blind?
"Sir i don't think this is right" i said.
"Your letting her help you" he said putting a demanding tone in his voice.
I groan and nod.
I stand up and start to walk away.
Shannon followed behind me.
I don't know how she knew where i was but she followed.
"Where to?" She asked.
"You want to get food?" I ask.
"If this is a date i'm refusing it" she says teasingly.
I chuckle.
"It's not" i said.
We walk down the sidewalk to the diner.
"So tell me. Do you have any friends here?" I ask.
"One she's my best friend her names cara" she said.
We walk in to the diner and sit in a booth.
I see a girl with blond hair with blue streaks running through her hair.
" hey shannon whose the cute dude" the waitress winks at me.
"Hi cara his name is jacob" she replys as if this is normal.
"What will it be today?" She asks.
"Cheeseburger" i said.
"Just a soda" shannon said softly.
Cara nods and walks off.
"So that's cara?" I ask.
"Yea she's very beautiful" she said.
"Your... how does that work?" I ask confused.
"First time we bonded she let me touch her face i see her personality is beautiful i think she's beautiful even if i haven't seen her. Looks arn't everything" she said.
"So you've never seen anyone?" I ask.
"Always been blind" she responds.
"How do you know when your talking to the right person?" I ask intrigued.
"They usaully tell me. For instance no one has told me i look pretty because i know i'm not" she said.
Cara walked up and placed our orders down.
"Shannon be careful in the woods okay?" She said.
Shannon reached up and touched cara's face.
"I will be. Be careful yourself" she said.
Cara walked back to the counter.
"So no one tells you your pretty?" I ask.
"I don't care for my appearences and yes they don't tell me" she said.
She feels around for her drink.
I finally slide it over to her.
"Thanks" she says softly.
"I think your quite pretty" i said.
"You don't know my personality" she said.
"Well you tried to hit me with a frying pan i think i know what it is" i said.
"Give it a go" she said while sipping her drink.
"Your kind to others you seem to know everone in this town so that means your outgoing you keep to yourself most of the time thats why you have a cabin in the woods." I said.
She smirks.
"I am all that but that's not why i have the cabin" she said.
"Going to tell me what its for?" I ask.
"Dad thinks it will keep me more protected instead of in the town" she said.
"That doesn't sound safe but okay" i said
"Let me guess your personality.
Your shy when you were in highschool you were popular.
Your ambitious because you lived in new york.
You care for others because you didn't want me to get hurt you've also got a curse so you don't feel the cold stares of the dead because you've seen them when you were younger. " she said.
She explained my entire personality.
"How did you know all that?" I ask.
"I like to know the people who burst in to my house" she said.
"We're never going to give this up are we." I ask.
"I'll give it up if you do" she said.
"Nope for a girl you got alot of strength i think thats cool" i said.
"Why thank you" she said.
I heard the door bell ding.
Cara scurried over to our booth.
"Shannnon i think its time to go" she said in a hushed tone.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" I heard a gruff voice yell.
I looked behind us and see ethan walk in.
