Prologue:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed as my best friend lifted me in the air and onto his shoulder. "Colt put me down! I have to go!" I giggled. 

"You cheated Faye! There is no way you are this good at Uno!" Colt replied.

"I did not! You just suck at it!" I said as he spun around.

"Not true!" 

"Too true" replied his mom. 

"Fine you win." Colt said as he set me down "But I'll bring my A game next time"

"That wont help much," I giggled as I grabbed my bags. 

"Hey take this" Colt said as he handed me flashlight, "It's dark out." 

"Thanks" I smiled and gave him a quick hug good-bye.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He laughed.

"Ugh Finals." 

Colt laughed as I shut the door. 

I turned on the flash light and began to walk home, which was down the street. I took a deep breath. The smell of freshly mowed grass and cold, bitter air filled my nostrils. It felt as if I was already home. I'd always felt safe in my neighborhood. I lived in a small town where everyone was friends. The whole town knew who was doing what, or who....

I walked down the street, the familiar asphalt beneath my feet.  I got close to home quickly. I was five lots away when I felt a hand go around my face.  I felt a broad body lean against mine. I tensed and then I heard:

"Scream and I kill you."
