It's one in the morning. Sheriffs' at the scene. Several citizens are gathered outside the yellow tapes, Zoe and I as well. Everyone is on their edge of the seats wondering what the hell is actually going on. Can everything be happening again? The woman that was attacked has been sent to the hospital to heal her massive blood loss and wound.


"Alright Zoe Miller, Ariana Grande plesse follow me." The sheriffs' will be questioning us since we were the ones at the scene before anyone else. One takes Zoe next to a car and another takes me away to another car. "Okay Ariana will you explain to me what happened? Details please." The sheriff takes a notebook and a pen out ready to write down notes.


I nod and start to explain, "Well I heard a scream and everyone from Oaks Apartment stepped out of their rooms.  We went downstairs.  Zoe and I decided everyone should stay behind.  So we um- we went.  Then the woman yall took away came runnin up to us.  She said she was hurt and that someone attacked her."


"What?" The sheriff gave me a perplexed look.


"Yeah? She said someone in a dark figure slashed her arm when she found the bones." I clarified.


"Interesting. That woman told us she tripped back in surprise when she saw the bones that a branch dug into her and scratched her arm." He jots down into his notebook. That makes me wonder, why would the woman lie? "You may continue." He looks back up.


"Oh. So Zoe called the station. Then the woman took me to the bones.  I checked it out and you guys came."


"Did you touch anything?" He asks.


"Oh yeah.  There was a note under the bones."


The officer tilts his head. "What note?"



"There was a note underneath the bones.  I dropped it though."



"We haven't found any note at the scene. There's a possibility it was blown away. Can you recall what it read?"



As I try so hard to think it pops back into my mind, "It went something like 'you were the age of those ten girls.  This is one of them.'"



"What do you mean by 'you?'" The sherrif asks.


"I don't know that's what it said on the note." I rub my arm as a cold wind breezes in the air.  I look back at Zoe who is still talking with the sheriff.


"Alright Ariana. Is that it?" The sheriff looks up at me and I nod.  He puts the pen and notebook in his pocket.  Then I start to notice the guy, he looks back up and he's not so bad, he's actually hot. He notices me staring and then I ask,  "What's your name Sheriff?"


He taps on his badge. "Sherrif Cooper. Son of the Mayor."
