Dark trees danced in my vision as I walked down the lonely street, my tiny legs pushing me to walk faster before the sky became completely dark. That was when things got dangerous.

My family and I lived on the outskirts of our town, and save from going to school, we were not allowed to mingle with other people. From the stories I had gathered so far, the town people hated my family, my mother to be exact. With her bright auburn hair that shone against her very pale skin and eyes that never had the same color, everyone said she was perfect. Too perfect to be human.

As I took the last turn towards my house, I froze. There was a dark cloud hovering over it. As I stood watching it, I felt chills to my bone. Something was wrong.
