The Maryweather Curse

Chapter 1

She sat there crying with mud on her face, when she heard footsteps coming toward her. A dark and shadowy figure stood over her. It was so close she could feel its breath on the back of her neck. The figure moaned and nudged her as if to say "get up, get up". Repetitively he kept nudging her until she finally stood up. She turned around and hugged the figure with all the strength she had left.

5 HOURS EARLIER

Shelbey Maryweather had a perfectly ordinary life until last fall when her mother disappeared. Not like the kind of disappeared when theres a possibility she could have been murdered or had ran off with some guy, its disappeared as in she vanished into thin air. There were many witnesses to the scene so everyone had pretty much stopped looking for her. Shelbey unfortunately was one of them. Shelbey truly loved her mother bc she was all she had after her dad got arrested 3 years ago. Now Shelbey was all alone and she blamed her mother for it.

Now that Shelbey is in foster care she doesn't get a lot of freedom except for at night when everyones asleep and she can sneak out the window of her bedroom and go outside. She loves the outdoors and will go outside when ever she gets the chance. So every night she goes out the window and walks through the woods.

One night she snuck out the window as usual and started walking when she see's someone; she gasps; "no way, it cant be him." She shakes it off and continues walking then see's him again. She yells "DAD" he turns around with tears in his eyes then starts running. She charges after him but only gets herself lost.

5 HOURS LATER

Shelbey has been running for 5 hours straight and still hadnt found the man appearing to her father. She keeps running and running but then trips over something. Its a gravestone! She quickly wiped away the mud and leaves peering at the name, "Patricia Mary-Weather" this is when she breaks down completely its her mom. She sits there crying with mud on her face when she hears footsteps coming toward her. A dark and shadowy figure stood over her. It was so close she could feel its breath on the back of her neck. The figure moaned and nudged her as if to say "get up, get up". Repetitively he kept nudging her until she finally stood up. She turned around and hugged the figure with all the strength she had left. The figure finally says "I am so sorry baby, you know I love you right?" She waits a minute and then responds "Yeah I know, I love you too Dad."
