PROLOGUE

Sheriff August Corbin finishes the last few sentences on his police report. As the long day comes to a close, he realizes how tired he is. Also, not to mention the fact that he feels like something is terribly wrong.

On instinct, his eyes flicker over to the set of filing cabinets a few feet away from his desk. Sighing, he gets up and walks toward it. He takes out a key from behind a picture frame and fits it into the lock. The top half of the cabinet is pulled back, revealing a secret drawer full of folders. Clicking his tongue, he searches for the designated file. He takes it out and heads back to his desk, flipping it open.

MILLS SISTERS FOUND IN WOODS, MISSING FOR FOUR DAYS

His eyes scan the article, landing on a certain paragraph.

Jenny Mills, 17, claimed to see a blurry figure, identified as a demon near a group of four trees. Her sister denied seeing such things.

He sighs, running a hand through his hair.

"Abbie," He whispers.
