Audrey didn't know what she'd been thinking when she entered the woods. She could've much easily followed the main road leading up to Dark Creek…or the general direction of Dark Creek.
Aunt Marissa's revelation had brought on a wild anger that shoved her better judgement aside.
Unable to control the mixture of rage and grief pulsing in her veins, she ran into the woods. Her goal had been to reach Dark Creek to do something…anything to quench that feeling of injustice.
Instead when she arrived at the clearing she broke down. Tears streamed down her face as she thought about her parents and the brutality of their fate.
It hurt that she never got to know them beyond her childhood, that they didn't see the woman she became.
All because of the monster. Xander Blackwood and his thirst for power and control.
"I'm sorry, father. I'm sorry, mother. You deserved so much more."
Her shoulders quivered as she sobbed.
