I woke up to a strange tapping noise. I looked at my alarm clock and groaned, it was 6 am on a Saturday. The tapping noise kept getting louder. As I listened, it sounded like the noise was coming from my window. I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the window to see what it was.
It was a bird, more specifically, a pigeon. I noticed that the pigeon had something in its feet, and the closer I got I realized that it was an envelope. Confused but curious, I went to open the window, but as my hand reached the latch, the bird grew impatient and broke through my window. I screamed but quickly covered my mouth so I didn't wake my sleeping family. I watched terrified as the bird looped around my room, dropped the envelope on my bed, and flew straight out without a scratch. I stood there stunned for a moment, then I quickly picked up the letter, thankful it didn't break anything more. I was now wide awake, so why not open the letter? Either way, it was addressed to me.
This is what it said:
DO NOT SHARE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WITH ANYONE UNLESS DIRECTED
Hello Bethany,
Yes, I know your name. I know plenty more about you, in my opinion probably to much. No, I am not a stalker, sorry if this is freaking you out. Anyways you are probably wondering why you received this letter. If you continue reading you will find out, but I am warning you, you will deeply regret it.
I used to live in Pretty Lake, but back then everything was much different. It has changed so much and I still love it the same. It changed for the better, but things are about to drastically change all over again.
In the 14 more letters to come, I will be explaining the events that have happened and the events to come. I wish to guide you through this journey you are about to go on. I don't blame you if you don't believe me, I had a hard time believing some of it myself. Once you start to see proof, you will wonder why you ever questioned what I am saying.
With all that said, you can either stop now, or continue on.
I see you are going to continue, so let's get started...
Nothing ever happened in Pretty Lake, it was always peaceful. It's a small town, isolated, and basically unimportant, it's the kind of place movies are based off. I always felt safe in Pretty Lake, in my home. Nothing bad ever happened and I loved it so much. I never assumed anything bad would happen, or that there was even a possibility that we could be a target. I mean, why would someone or something target us?
I apologize if this is confusing or I am giving you suspense. I cannot tell you now exactly what happened or how it happened, but I assure you you will be able to piece it together in the time to come. I will be leaving clues for you if you are ready to be the hero you truly are. For the future is in trouble, and you are the only one who can help.
Your Friend,
Elizabeth from The SSCF
