Chapter 1 :

"Hadley you wanna go or nah?" My annoying twin sister Sasha asks. This is the 21st century, where teenage girls obsess over boys who become famous through internet. And we are trying to get tickets to Magcon.

"I don't know, Ole Miss plays against Bama that day..." I start to say.

"Stop being obsessed over those so called "sports" and learn to be a girly girl! It's so embarrassing being related to a tomboy!" She screams. I laugh and roll my eyes.

"Fine I'll go. Who's coming?"

"Karissa is bringing us." Sasha says. Karissa is Sasha's druggy friend. She's 16 and a badass. She wears all black, has piercings everywhere you can imagine (yes even there).

"Girls, Brody! Come and eat!" I hear mom yell. I jump off my bed and fly down the stairs to see our plates already made with steak and veggies on them. I stuff my face while my little brother does the same, wanting to be just like me.

"Wow you were hungry Hadley." Mom laughs dishing me up some more. My mom is very helpful. She is the sweetest woman ever. After Brody was born 5 years ago, my dad left all of us. Nobody knows why but he did. Nobody knows where he is either. Some say he got kidnapped, some say he was killed, and my biggest fear some people say he's being held hostage.

My dad was amazing. My favorite person ever. We would spend hours on the pond in the winter playing hockey, or go for walks and talk about life. When he disappeared my mom was mad. Not sad, she was furious that a man would leave her with her two 10 year old daughters and newborn son. So we helped mom a lot with Brody.

"We ordered our tickets to Magcon!" Sasha squeals.

"Cool! Who's taking you?" Mom asks.

"Karissa Donelly." Sasha says nervously. Mom doesn't really like Karissa, like me. We think she's on drugs and drinks when she's only 16.

"Okay." Mom purses her lips.

"Nash, Hayes, Carter, Matt, Shawn and everyone else is going to be there I'm so excited!" Sasha screams knocking over her glass of milk. Mom runs to get paper towels and I take this chance to run back to me and Sasha's room. I call my best friend Kayden.

"Hello?" He asks.

"Hi Kayden it's Hadley." I say laying down on my twin bed.

"Oh hey, what's up?" He asks.

"Oh nothing, bored as usual. Do you wanna come over tomorrow?" I ask, I'm getting sick of Karissa.

"I can't, sorry Hads I have a hockey tournament this weekend. Maybe some other time?" He says. I hear disappointment in his voice.

"Oh yeah sure, good luck." I say and then hang up before he can say thank you.

I sigh. I need more friends. Soon Sasha comes running in.

"Ugh I'm so mad! I spilled milk on my new skirt!" She whines ripping it off. I cover my face with my hands.

"Dude get some clothes on!" I laugh.

"Don't be silly I've seen you nakey and you've seen me, c'mon we're twins!" She says taking off her shirt too.

"Yeah... That's not weird." I walk out of the room. I think I'll go for a run to finish off the night. I put on my shoes and grab a jacket then start jogging on the sidewalk.

I run up to town, it's really dark out so I have to be careful of cars.

"Hadley." Someone whispers. I shake my head and keep on running, probably just hearing things. "Hadley, I know it's you." I heard again from the bushes beside me. I swallow hard and stop running. Bad idea. I start pounding my fist against my head to tell myself nothing's there.

"Hello Hadley, long time no see?" A man pops out of the bushes. My heart skips a couple beats and I back up. "Careful not to go on the road, sweetie." He says. It's not just an average freaky guy on the street, it's my dad.

My long last 5 year missing dad it's standing less then 4 feet away. "I thought you were dead." I say scared out of my mind. I hardly ever get scared btw.

"Now why would you think that?!" He snaps. I jump. "Just because I left you and your sisters pretty asses and your dumbass mother who decided to have another baby and didn't tell me about him until a couple hours until he was born." He says coming closer. He puts a hand on my shoulder which makes me start to cry.

"She didn't tell you about Brody?" I ask trying to keep things calm.

"No, you see Hadley, when you and your sister were born I was so happy. I had 2 little girls to watch grow up. I picked your name and your mother picked Sasha's. My plan was to wait until you were both 15, earn your trust, and hurt you." His smile is creepier then I remember.

I can't believe it. He was a liar. I start to feel hot. I stopped crying too, scared and sadness is not me anymore. I'm mad. "You son of bitch!!!!" I slap him across the face. He laughs and grabs my butt. Oh my god.

"You filled out nicely. Can't wait to get to it. See you later, baby girl." He says walking away towards town.

I start sprinting home as fast as I can. I take my shoes off and lock the doors then run up to me and Sasha's room. "Geez what's your deal?" She asks painting her nails. I calm my breathing.

"Nothing, thought I saw a... A wolf." I get out. I shut the curtains on my and Sasha's window, then run to Brody's room. I shut his too, he's sound asleep and I kiss him on his forehead.

Then I climb into bed and fall asleep thinking about him. He's watching me. I have to warn Sasha tomorrow.
