There's this girl.
Living on the corner of Wolfcreek Road.
She stares at the dead, crooked tree through her bedroom window.
Tears streaming down her face, she falls to her knees sobbing.
She mouths, "What have I done?"
She looks down at her bloody hands, the knife only inches away.
Grabbing the blade, she reaches for something.
Her dark frown turns into a sadistic smile as she says, "Let's do it again."
Two figures stand at the doorway looking at her in terror.
Her parents.
"Ashley?" Her mother trembles, clinging onto her husband's arms.
"Why are you staring at me?!" Yells Ashley before lunging at them.

Ashley Ravenwood is a 17 year old girl with a dark secret.
After the "accidental" death of her best friend, Raquel, and her parents, she is forced to move out of her beloved home in Norwich, England.
She now lives with her cruel aunt in Hollow City, Denver.
As she tries to make a new start for herself, she encounters situations that cause her to go back to her old self.
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
