IT HAS BEGUN CH 1

A terrified scream echoes throughout the Nowicki household.
"Kerry what is it what's the matter".

All that Kerry could muster was a panicked " What ...".

"I heard you scream and came running".

"Dad what's the matter with Kerry" Kerry jumped at the sound of her younger brothers voice.

"It's OK Ian Kerry just had a bad dream that's all buddy let's get you back to bed. You o.k. Kerr"?

"huh Oh yeah Dad I'll be fine I uh just had a bad dream silly me that's all" Kerry was so disgusted with herself after Ethan Michel she reminded herself, left she got better at lying by mimicking him. How could she lie to her own father that way but how would he respond to such a dream *shudder*. That dream will haunt me till the end.

"Well Kerry if your scared I'll leave footy with you he'll keep you safe".

"Well thanks Ian but I think ill be fine." Kerry glanced at the clock next to her bed *ugh* 6:10am only 50 minutes till Michel would be falling sleep. Well that is if he was still in the US hmm do they change sleeping habits when they go to areas with different sunrises. "AH wait IM late I got to get ready for school!".

"Kerry calm down did you forget it's the weekend" what was her Dad saying it wasn't oh wait it was Saturday. "Well you two get out I've got to get ready for work then". As she shut the door behind them images of her covered in the blood of her father and brother flashed before her eyes. *Shudder* *sigh* "what was that dream about" she shook her head in disbelief. Maybe because it's that time of year so close to the anniversary of her killing Marsala its only been a year. "Michel" Kerry whispered wondering if he had dreams like that. Get it together Kerry we got to make it to work before Jeff writes me up . . . Again. Kerry stuck her head out her window and clicked the car starter. She laughed silently to herself when she looked at her car it was a dark blue Skylark "It's his fault him and that stupid color". *Knock*, *Knock* Kerry jumped with a start

"You going to come out for some breakfast Kerr you need to eat."

Ugh Dad ever since the Marsala incident he wont stop smothering her *roar* whoa was that my stomach lately I can't seem to get full. "I'll be right there dad Just one moment".

The fluorescent lights shined brightly in Kerry's eyes as she walked in to the supermarket she worked at. "Late again miss Nowicki" Jeff sneered. God she wish someone would just abduct him " No Jeff I've still got 5 mins I'll be on shortly" Kerry replied . The rest of the day went just as bad as the morning had she mixed up change and over loaded bags thank god she'd be off of work shortly. Jeff came striding over to Kerry's register. "Well miss Nowicki it looks like Sarah is sick today we need you to stay for her shift". UGH sick again I bet that sickness' name is Dan damn Sarah and her boyfriend. "Well I would rather go home"

"Well then miss Nowicki I may then be forced to write you up for this mornings series of fiasco" Jeff replied smoothly.

"Well then put that way then I guess I'd love to stay for Sarah" Kerry replied through clenched teeth.

"Remember service with a smile miss Nowicki" Jeff said over his shoulder as he walked away. Other than the panicked phone call from her father the rest of her day went uneventful. It was a quiet drive home Kerry found herself day dreaming about a certain undead person she hadn't seen in for a while. She pulled into the drive way pulled her keys from the ignition. " Huh the lights are out I wonder where everyone is tonight, Well at least I'm home now" Kerry unlocked the door and caught sight of a note next to the door.
Kerry Taking Ian to his friend's house be home later Diners in the fridge call if you need anything Love you Kerr Dad Well at least they're slowing getting back to normal. *roar* Ugh "I've eaten all day I'm so going to get fat" Kerry grumbled. Kerry stumbled her way to the fridge only to realize that the fridge was sitting open. She backed up slowly from the kitchen door way only to have someone wrap their arms around her and stifle her scream. A very familiar voice whispers in her ear" Trust me" she froze "Im not going to hurt you" she slid to the floor tears welling up in her eyes as she glanced back to see two piercing blue eyes staring at her.

"Michel" Kerry exclaimed through sobs. "What are you doing here". His face went blank and then a Predatory smile crossed his face

"Just tying up some loose ends".
