It started as a joke–a game–hide and seek. The first seeker, I found Shawna hiding in a bush. The others gathered around as she told her secret–she slept with Paul, January’s ex-boyfriend.
January glared at her before laughing. “We were over years ago. But you were caught, so you’re now the seeker.”
We scattered around the forest as Shawna searched for us. A scream crashed against the sky, sending us trampling through the woods.
January hovered over Shawna’s body, blood dripping from the log she held. Her eyes darted in our direction as she smiled. “Want to know my secret?”
