BACKSTORY
This is the story of Greenville. Where nothing or no one is safe. Greenville is more than a murder mystery town. You see...it's also a place of magic...a place of fantasy and wonder...where secrets are kept...where the connections happen...where love descends...and goes to someone else...where darkness comes to life...and in all reality you have to ask yourself these questions...is it real?...is it fake?...is it the truth?...because, when you think you might know something in Greenville...think again.
My name is Quincy Baren and this is how our story begins. It was a stormy night. And four Elementry kids were in a garage telling stories.
"And that's the end of my scary story. Andy smirks.
"That wasn't scary. Let me go." Rj says next.
"No me." Rege says third.
"Actually i think its time to head back to my house, my mom might come looking for us soon. And remember we have school tomorrow?!" Quincy says lastly.
Rege makes a mean face at Rj. "Fine."
The 4 of them headed out into the stormy night. When they walk out and look to see Quincy's house they noticed that it wasn't his house. Fear and confusion started to get them. Except Rege, he always tried to act tough even if he was really scared.
"Guys...this isn't my house. Where are we?" Quincy reacts quickly.
The Lighting got a little loud where they were standing, and Rj started to get closer to Quincy for protection. He's the smart one and nice one to Rj. At least that's how he felt.
"No...wait." Andy pauses for a minute, "this is my house." "Really? But we were at my house." he says convinced.
"why don't we just walk up and find out instead of getting wet in this storm?" Rege says.
When they get to the door step of the house the four of them all stood there soaked and a little worried. They had made noises on the steps that creaked from they wet shoes they had on.
"I agree with Quincy, im a little confused and scared even if this IS your house!" Rj says.
"Shhh," Andy hisses and walks up to the door a little confused but confident.
Before he opens it, Mrs.Baren (Quincy's mom) flings the door open fast in tears as she hugs each and every one of them in worry. While hugging Andy, he looks at Quincy until she gets to him and he shrugs his shoulders giving the sign he doesn't know what's going on.
"Oh my gosh im soooo glad your all alright." she cries, shutting the door fast before they can look in.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Quincy asked with a serious look.
Mrs.Baren had tears that she couldn't hide. Her face watery feeling with pain and agony. It took her a moment but she finally spoke,
"Andy...i don't know how to tell u this but...yout parents...are dead.
1 week later had past. It was a calm night in the garage this time. And we were telling stories as usual. Andy was there as well.
"And that's the end of my story. So who wants to go next." Quincy asked."
"Me, Quincy your story was ok but i can do better." Rj says.
"No me. I can do better." Rege says out talking his voice.
They both go on back and forth.
"Guys , can we not do this like we always do, someone just go."
Rege and Rj give each other mean looks.
"Fine. What about Andy he hasn't said anything." Rj suggested.
They turn twards Andy. He was sitting in the conner watching without saying a word.
"Is he ok?" Rege makes another mean look still annoyed with Rj,
"Of course he's not ok, don't you know what he's going through?!"
"Rege dont say it...he doesn't need to be reminded of that." Quincy says.
Andy interupts. "But does it matter?! Cause i dont think it does. Listen...Every moment im here im gonna think of it. My parents are gone and i dont know why, or who killed them...and now...i ran away from foster care....for you guys. Im pretty sure they'll find me here soon as well, i can't hide here forever. So how much worse can it get huh?!"
They stand in silence feeling bad for a moment. None of them could imagine what Andy was truly going through.
"Andy im sorry. We all are." Quincy says.
"Don't be."
"But still, dont you wonder who did killed your parents and why? I mean how much do you actaully know your parents and their personal life?" Rj adds.
"Not much...but it doesn't matter."
All of a sudden a strange noise came from outisde.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
They all jump in fear. "Ok now im sacred." Rj says still looking where the noise came from.
"You always are." Rege sighs annoyed again.
"Aren't you?" As they look where the sound came from Andy starts to walk twards it.
"Andy what are you doing?!" Quincy says still freaked out about the noise.
"Goodbye guys. I think its time for me to leave. Look i don't know whats out there, it could be the cops coming to take me back to foster care. Or...even worse...the person who killed my parents is now after me."
Blank stares fill the room. Everyone was really terrified by now. Even Rege couldn't hide it. Andy continued to walk twards the door.
"WAIT ANDY!!! DONT GO!!!" Quincy yelled.
Without hesitating Andy turned one more time and looked waving goodbye, then headed out.
"NOOOO!!!"
The wind gets strong from outside as it stars to shake the garage and throw things like an earthquake.
"WE HAVE TO GO FOR ANDY!!!" Rege says facing Quincy.
"WE CAN'T!!! WE HAVE TO TAKE COVER NOW!"
The wind gets stronger and harder as the three of them try to hide but a big box falls on them as it goes all dark. BOOM.
When Quincy wakes up he sees his mom crying in front of him. In his mind he couldn't make out what was going on but whatever it was, he knew it wasn't good. His mom was crying again.
"Please...wake up. Are you alright?"
"Mom...what, happened???"
Rj and Rege have tears in their eyes as well. she looks at him with a serious look.
"Your friend Andy....he's dead." (To be continued...)
