Prologue

Jenna Starkfield was taking her dog for a walk. She knew it was dangerous, but it had t be done. Ranger, her dog, never got any exercise, and she had to get him some. As she put it, he was going to turn into a blimp. That was far from the truth. Ranger would always be a healthy dog. Besides she had thought to herself, she needed the exercise and fresh air too.

It was mid-winter, and very cold. Jenna was walking down the road. The sun was starting to set, and it spread flecks of orange, gray, and purple across the sky. Ranger was well trained so he wasn't wearing a collar. Jenna was walking with her arms folded under her head. She was looking up at the sky as a little flurry was starting to fall. She sighed. Why her, she thought. Why? She looked up. Ranger had stopped and was looking intently at a yellow car. She had never seen the car itself, but knew the model well. It was a 1983 Thunderbird. 'Damnit,' she thought. 'Now they've found me again!' She looked down at Ranger. He was slowly backing up. Even he knew to run from these cars.

Jenna turned and ran. She heard gun shots fired, and watched little streaks fly past her. That's one thing she could count on: them having poor aim. She turned her head to look at the car. The driver had switched it into drive. The car was pulling closer. She darted into the woods off to the side of the road. The car also veered to the side of the road, but could not go any farther.

She could still hear the gunshots, even though now they weren't flying past her. Jenna pulled out her walky-talky thing and called Nate, her best friend's big brother. Nate answered after about two beeps. "Yeah?" he answered.

"Nate?" she asked to confirm that it was him, even though he would be the only one to use his radio.

"Yup. Whach' ya' need, Jenn?" he asked.

"Your help. And quick," She replied bluntly.

"What's wrong?"

"They've found me again," she said meekly. "Help".

"Okay, calm down. Where are you, and where are they?" he said reassuringly.

"I'm in the woods about two blocks away from my house and they're-" she pulled in a sharp breath. "They're coming," she said quietly.

"K. Can you hold them off or run from them long enough for me to get there?"

"I think so," Jenna said. "Just hurry."

"I'm on my way," he ended and hung up.

"Okay," she said to Ranger, looking down at him. "We've got to run, or hold them off. If we run it'll be harder for Nate to find us soooooooo……."

Ranger looked up at the oncoming people. There were three of them. They were all wearing the same jacket. A blue jean jacket with some bars logo scripted in the back and their names scripted in the front. Ones name was 'Benny', ones was 'Jake', and the last ones name was 'Timmy'. Timmy's name was in all caps so Jenna assumed he might hold the most power of the three.

"Hallo, sweets," Timmy said bitterly.

"Don't call me sweets dirt bag!" Jenna hissed back.

"Ooooohhhhhhhh…," Jake added before the other two could respond. "Feisty."

"All the more to kill when they're feisty," Benny piped in. The other two nodded in agreement.

'Great,' Jenna thought. 'Just great!' 'Wait a sec,' she continued to her self. 'If I continue getting them to talk then I can buy time for Nate to get here!'

"That's not feisty," Jenna said. "But if you want to see feisty…,"

"You want to know something?" Timmy said.

"What?" Jenna said.

"You think your being clever, don't you?" Timmy answered. "Just in case you didn't know, I can read your thoughts," he continued sweetly.

'It doesn't matter,' she thought, this time intentionally.

Timmy got a look on his face. A twisted, confused, horrified face.

"Did you see this coming?" she asked aloud, as Nate came down from a tree and landed on Timmy and clearly knocking him out.

Nate closed his eyes. A yellow mist-like aura formed around him. All of the sudden, light burst out from him. Everything was full of blinding light, then, just as quickly as it had come, it died down. The remaining guys were lying on their backs, also knocked out.

"Well that was easy," Nate said.

"Easy for you to say," Jenna replied.

"Come on, I doubt that they'll stay out for long."

"Okay," she said.
