Willow Hasten is dead.
Found in a nearby lake near her school.
A twelve year old girl and yet- something worn on her body stood out.
A gray scarf enclosing and choking her neck.
That scarf belonged to her best friend- Ria Rouse and she has been accused of the murder.
Yet- Ria didn't kill her best friend. At least, she doesn't believe so. She's the same age as Willow and had no reason to kill her.
However, her small town community, parents, and neighbors don't seem to believe so.
They find a journal that seemed to have belonged to Ria and in it- consists of thoughts of killing Willow.
That isn't her journal. But- the handwriting looks identical to hers...
Who is framing Ria? If she is even innocent and-
If not, why doesn't she seem to remember writing, killing, or giving her gray scarf to Willow?
Can a girl her age even trust herself?
How can she prove herself innocent before time is up?

(A/N) This is written by a 14 year old, who somewhat knows what she's doing. Paragraphs, periods, comma's, spelling, and many other things might be wrong. As I said, I'm practicing. Updates are whenever; I've also started school. I'll try to update once a week? But, it probably won't happen. I was inspired by the show "Erased" to make this story, but in my own way. All artwork is either from Angela, or online, the plotline is also all mine. The name will probably change later on. Enjoy this wacky story of mine.Complete
