Hello and thank you for reading my book 'Help'! Wether you were randomly scrolling through your 'interested' page and this popped up or you just found it cause a friend told you, I appreciate that you took time out of your day to read my book! This is my first book and I am currently writing the sequel to this book so once your done check it out! I know that the first chapters are pretty crappy since it was when I first started on Wattpad. I promise my writing skills have improved A LOT since then and it will get better further into the book! Secondly, please no foul comments or language. I would appreciate it if maybe made a suggestion on the book or any ideas but no commenting that I wrote a word wrong because I am editing this book a lot now. Finally before you start reading, if you like love stories I would encourage you to read my other book (A completely different story line and characters) 'Normal'! Thank you once again for choosing this book and enjoy!

OK Now you may read!!!

"Strike 3 batter out!" The referee yelled across the crowded field aggressively as I flick my old wooden baseball bat at the ground creating a small cloud of dust around it.

"Go Robert you can do it!" My little sister, Jess, screams from the metal bleachers with her tattered brown teddy bear bouncing beside her as she jumped high.  The teddy bear was old, very old, it has no ear and has been with her since before she was even born, it was passed down to all the girls in my family, in short it was ruined.

I walk over to my the bench with my red and white shirt that might as well be brown from the dirt splattered on it.

Huffing, I sat down in the dug out, and waited for this seemingly never ending game to finally be over.

5:00 the game ends my team had lost again.

You'd think that I'd be disappointed but we've lost so many games it kinda came an instinct that we were going to know that we were going to loose considering my team hasn't won a game in over five years.

It's as if our team was doomed ever since I had joined which didn't surprise me either.

I wasn't the best at baseball but I've improved, only my coach seemed to ignore that and focus on my flaws and not my strengths.

Our coach had always been rough on us considering we have been all on the same team for a while and we've yet to win a game.

My mom and dad had gone already, knowing the ending of the game before it even began, leaving my sister and I to walk home deep darkness of the night.

I love my sister - sometimes - but most time she would blame everything on me and everyone would believe her because she would always puts on a 'cute'  pouty face and wears a little outfit or dress that my mother had bought for her, even though she hates them.

We walked past many different shops as the sun began to set and the light poles began to cascade a ray of light onto the black street.

My sister and I enter the driveway, the cold winds brushing past us, whispering small inaudible nothings into our ears.

Just as we were going to our steps something stops me. Rustling sounds emit from the dark bushes beside me, the fluorescent lights projecting against the bush, making it look even creepier then what it actually was.

Jess tries to walk past me not noticing the strange phenomenon in the green trimmed bushes. I put my hand out in front of her causing her to stop and let out a quiet gasp.

It continued to move, making small grunts and growls as it did, causing Jess to cower away in fear.

Our neighbourhood didn't normally have any animals roaming around it.

Sure on rare times there would be the occasional stray may wander in but it never hurt anyone really it just sat there staring at you with deep dark eyes.

Which got me wondering.

What if it wasn't a cat that lost its way?

What if it was something much worse?

What the heck?
