Images of the other five pounded through her mind, excruciating pain excreted out of every pour of her body.

Was she supposed to be slaughtered in that house? Was she already dead and merely a ghost that would meander the earth for all eternity, an arduous soul with the only reminiscence of the worst day of her life? Then she saw the same hazel eyes she saw that night, the same eyes of the killer who murdered their killer.
