Annabelle Texas. 12:30 am.
Rachel Edison lay dreaming in her bedroom, it was a peaceful dream. She hadn't really been sleeping peacefully, since January. The Rag Man ordeal had given her horrible nightmares, which made sleeping difficult for her. That was before she, started with the sleeping pills. In this Dream she was on a picnic with Andrew, Lacy, Casey, Anita, peter, and Max. All her friends! They were all smiling and laughing. Even Andrew, he was wearing a white shirt with black slacks. He kept smiling at Rachel and laughing, but Rachel didn't feel like smiling. No not deep down she didn't, she knew something was wrong. She just couldn't think of what it was, Lacey was talking with Casey. Who was sitting next to Peter on the picnic blanket. They looked happy! Casey was giggling at whatever Lacey had said to her. Then she looked over at Rachel " Rachel what's wrong you're not eating your food" are you OK? Rachel just nodded yeah I'm OK. But she wasn't OK and she knew it. Something was majorly wrong here, Max looked at Andrew. Where's your boyfriend Andrew? What..... Huh..... That's when everything, began to hit Rachel. Casey was dead! So was peter and chris. Max was in the hospital and Andrew was missing. Just then the sky had gotten cloudy and everyone had stopped laughing and smiling. Andrew looked sad and pointed to the left of himself, he's over there watching us. Rachel looked to her left, and in the field maybe twenty yards away from them stood a man in a grey tattered suit wearing a porcelain Doll Faced mask. The Ragman, Rachel began to shake her head no no no this isn't happening. You aren't here, you're gone and you took Andrew, you son of a bitch you're not here! Just then casey called out to Rachel. " Rachel its not that bad it only hurts for a little bit at first, then it's over." Rachel looked at casey and gasped. she was no longer the pretty Green eyed blonde girl who Rachel had known for three years. Her face was ashen gray, dried blood stood under her nose and around her mouth. Her eyes were glazed over, Rachel screamed and covered her mouth. Peter sat shirtless next to Casey, Rachel could see the scars on his chest. From where the mortician had sewn him up. He smiled at her and the stitches through his chest and stomach came undone, spilling his intestines out unto the picnic cloth. Rachel gagged! Oh God why can't I wake up. Please God help me. Just then she heard Andrew say something she looked over at him and screamed. His eyes were burning bright green, The same color green as The Ragman. And the sky was all violet Rachel. Andrew said, and laughed Manically, then his face began to change before her very eyes. His face turned into the mask of The Rag Man. Rachel screamed! Andrew laughed again. "You really should've found me Rachel". Just then before she could answer she felt her head get pulled back violently, and a cold sharp blade slid across her throat. Then the metallic smell of blood. She felt like she was shaking, far off somewhere someone was calling her name. She began to wake up, Lacey Woodley was standing next to her bed shaking her. Rachel wake up you were dreaming and from the sounds of it, it wasn't pleasant. Rachel sat up in her bed, what's... What's uh. Yeah Lacey said starring at her, Sheriff Henry and Dr Anthony are in the living room. Oh God they found him didn't they? Rachel asked in a panicked voice. Just get dressed and come talk to them, OK? Rachel nodded. Five minutes later Rachel walked out of her bedroom and into the living room of her apartment. Lacey had been staying with her for a few weeks now. Dr Anthony sat in her arm chair and Sheriff Henry, sat next to Lacey on the couch. Rachel how are you he asked? Dr Anthony smiled at her. I'm alright i guess, what's going on? Well Rachel we seemed to have found something. he held up a piece of paper and let Rachel read it. " Rachel, out on the road today. I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac, a little voice inside my head said don't look back you can never look back". Andrew..... Rachel dropped the paper. Oh my God he's alive, that's our song we loved that song when we were first dating. He's alive he's got to be. "Rachel" Dr Anthony said he was alive whenever that note was written yes. But that was a month ago, we found that in the station wagon of a murdered couple. Along with Andrews finger prints and some hair! Where was the station wagon found? Rachel asked in the woods up near the Arkansas Tennessee state line. John answered, we were going there first thing tomorrow morning. We stopped by to ask if you and Lacey wanted to go with us? Lacey has already said yes. Anita can't go nor can Max, or his Dad. We haven't reached out to Andrew's parents yet. we won't until we know something for sure. Yes Rachel said I'll go we can leave tonight, right now. Let's go, Rachel..... Its a what a nine, ten hour drive from here to Arkansas? Rachel said. yes John replied it is well then I'll pack you guys make coffee and, get a rental car, Hotel rooms and whatever else.
