Chapter 1
Hi. My name is Lauren Michaels and I am 14 years old. I have a pretty rough life. My mom killed herself and my dad went to jail for life. All I have is my pet dog, Cupcake. We roam the streets looking for food to eat. My favorite place to take a walk with Cupcake is Dead Run Ridge. I think it is kind of creepy in a way because there is this mansion that has been abandoned for 20 years. Sometimes, I see a woman in the window staring out at me. The REALLY scary thing about it is that NO ONE lives there. Not even a mouse. My best friend is Naomi Nickelson. She is 15 years old. I am in 8th grade and she is in 9th grade. Oh! I have to go meet up with her and explore the mansion. Bye!
