The Sinister Woods

My father left us. My mother was taken. Everyone I care about could be gone. Forever. I think somebody took them, or maybe something. I don't know who they are, or what they want. But they're coming for me next. I'm sure of it. And I'm running out of time.

Jacquelyn Paulline Kieth is a strange girl. People tend to think of her in that way, but she didn't ask for any of it. But the reason she is so strange, isn't because of her weird name, or because she speaks with a funny accent, or because birds follow her. Not even because she only has half a family. You see, Jackie herself, is no stranger than you or me. It is because of the woods. The Sinister Woods.
