Winter's Claw

Chaprer 1 - Daylight

It was a cold winter morning, the glittery snow glistened at the littlest touch of light, the cold feeling crept upon me like I was some sort of prey. I stumble out of bed and stare out the window, it's 7 o'clock, I'm surprised I'm actually up, standing up in that matter.

A spider crawls into view, it's a big one, it doesn't really bother me that much. But what does bother me is the day lying ahead, everyday in that matter. I slide off my plaid pants and push myself into something I wore yesterday, there was nothing clean anyways. I slip on some shoes that I found in hide under my bed and run into the freezer outside.

Only a few laughter can be heard, for some reason, living in a small town outside of Manhattan makes us look very fashionable, talkative, flirtatious, yeah, you get the point. But it was different,

"HIYA WILL!" My friend yells, as I see a average sized girl run up to me, shes wearing a pumpkin colored dress with a black cat on it, around her neck lies a black scarf and her headphones. Her head is covered with a orange hat and it look as if all her brown, fuzzy hair is screaming to flee from the hat. Not knowing I haven't talked in a literal day, "Hey Des-" I got to clear my throat, "Hey Desiree!" I say back as she looks up at me, her sharp green eyes always catch me for some reason, It's like a cat, at some times, I swear. Sometimes I feel like this place represents things, but, I can't really put my finger on WHAT yet.

Desiree takes my hand and pulls my into the city hall, something's going I, I guess, which is usual. I swear our mayor is scared of everything, maybe this time it will be something interesting other than a yellow jacket or a gardener snake. As I go in, everyone is panicking, as I pushed myself through the crowd, there lies a pale body, and what I see is so unreal...
