And you believe they can only come after you when it's dark._x000D_You don't expect them to look like everyday people or that they may be someone you already know. . ._x000D_The summer in question started out with hot fun-filled days and new friendships. We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us. But that was before her. . ._x000D_Before we became known as the Hixton Six and our lives become defined by one night._x000D_It's hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away.

Because the monster is back and I know she has a score to settle with us.
