Prologue

It was a full moon and the stars twinkled in the indigo sky.

The town of Singing Creek was fast asleep, including the Willis family. In the big blue house, only one bedroom window was open, that of Lanore Willis.

Lanore was the couples only daughter and as such, they saw her as a precious treasure.

"Don't worry," he said. "You'll understand soon."
