*I've decided to do this one page at a time. For you don't want to read a very long entry in one sitting so I've broken it down. Enjoy!*
A chilly soggy afternoon Vivian Marsden walked home from her bus stop. It had been a frightening day at school. She looked back at the memory.
Her friend Jessica Thann and Julie Haze were walking down the tiled halls of Evergreen High School giggling and talking of nonsense. It had been awhile since Vivian had hung out with them since of all her school work and job as a waitress at Olive Garden.
’Hey Jess! Julie!” she shouted
The chattering stopped as they looked over at her, a look of unease crossed their faces as she approached them.
“hey, Vivian’ Muttered Julie and she twirled with her auburn shoulder length hair
“Hi” added Jessica looking down at her scuffed up tennis shoes
Strained smiles appeared to greet her.
“What are you up to?” Vivian inquired smiling warmly not noticing of the awkward greeting.
“Um, nothing really.”Jessica replied
“Talking about a test and stuff.” Julie sighed
“Are you guys busy? I’m free for once, let’s hang out!” Vivian gushed
Jessica and Julie looked at each other with stone grave faces.
“Didn’t you hear about the murder?” Julie whispered
Vivian’s eyes widened with surprise. “When did it happen?”
“Just this morning.” Jessica said
“What!?” she gasped
“Yeah we’re all freaked out.” Jessica nodded
Vivian shook her head as she brought herself back to the present climbing her cement stairs leading to the front door. Sadly by the end of school an announcement that the police was on high alert and were to reside in our homes at this time, so she couldn’t hang out with her friends; she dropped her heavy fraying bag, face planting into her soft bed and began to dream.
Gun shots rang out.
Fear griped Vivian witnessing a gray van screeching as it can around the corner headed for her!
She dived for the sidewalk scrapping her face on the cold hard surface
The van drove off down the street; Vivian looked up to find a body laying not ten feet from her.
She yelled a name but didn’t understand the name that escaped her lips.
She quickly made it to the person side, it was a boy, she gently leaden him to the side to reveal his face but the shadows of approaching night made it impossible to see his facial features.
Unexpectedly hands wrapped around her and felt the sting of the lacerating knife slitting open her throat.
“Vivian! You want to wake up to eat dinner?!” Vivian heard her mother shout through the bedroom door as she awoke sitting up, out of breath, prying at her neck. Nothing, just a dream.
