Malachi (On Hold)

When I was six I woke up in the field behind my grandparent's farm. My parents were dead and everyone else had gone mad. The investigators told me it was an animal attack. Aunt Red, my only sane relative, never spoke of it. She took me away, changed our names, created a whole new life for us. Years passed without incident. Then something happened. An animal attack: killed several students, left the rest raving about wicked beasts with fangs. Like my family.

The next day Red had us heading for another town. Except something is different now. I hear them in my head, people no one else hears. That's not all. Red's been keeping secrets. Secrets about my past. Secrets about the "fanged beasts."

Secrets that will decide whether I live or die.
