Chapter one
The blood curdling screams echoed through the forest. The shrieks of pure anguish pierced the ears of Alina, who was fast asleep bed. She jumped up and out of bed and ran to her door. As she grabbed the handle, she felt heavy breathing on the back of her neck... and then she fell to the ground in a comatose state.
As sunrise began to approach, Alina flickered her eyes open. She was met by pure darkness, which was very unusual because her parents always left at least one light on in their house because she was always scared of the dark? Why would they change this habit after 17 years?
The smell of blood began to swirl in her nose, she reached her hand up to her forehead and felt warmth. She must have hit her head after she fainted. She reached for her side table so she could pull herself up and stabilize her balance.
She reached for her her door handle, which was icy to the touch. She closed her eyes, took a deep breathe and yanked the door open and was faced with a scene that will haunt her for many years to come. Her parents shredded and unresponsive bodies lay on the white marbled floors and pools of blood formed underneath their lifeless bodies.
Alina dropped to her knees and slowly ran her hand over both of per parents face. She knew who did this, and she knew exactly how to avenge her parents gruesome murder.
