CHAPTER 1

"See me now see me no more" these were the last words Jennifer George heard from her best friend Savannah Smith. This was the most confusing text Jennifer has ever received in reality she was devastated. Jennifer's first thought was to ring her best friend and find out the meaning of the text message but Savannah never returned her calls. Quick-witted Jennifer immediately reached out to Bobby Smith Savannah's father he oddly answered Savannah was fine and with him when in reality Bobby was faced with terror and shock looking at her daughter's dismantled dead body. Bobby couldn't hold out for long he suddenly collapsed from the shock. To Jennifer's surprise, she was not talking to Bobby anymore but a stranger who suddenly asked Jennifer about her relationship with Bobby and Savannah Smith right after mentioning she was a close family friend she was told to come down to the gripping crime scene. At this point, Jennifer feels her body being almost paralyzed from the confusion and deep mystery she was now drowning at. Not wasting time Jennifer drove down to the location given by the stranger on the phone who somehow didn't introduce himself. As Jennifer drives towards the scene her worst nightmare unfolds itself and for a while, she could not breathe. As she steps out she could spot the horror as she gets closer to the scene she is stopped by a policeman asking her not to further go down the scene as she is questioning what happened she spots the forever best friends bracelet that she and Savannah gifted each other with. At this point she cannot hold back she begins to scream and shout her best friend's name thinking she will respond when she doesn't she begins shouting Bobby and again it's pure silence. The policeman at the scene tries to calm her down but she doesn't suddenly a man introducing himself as detective Jason Noah who spoke to her over Bobby's phone. For a second Jennifer can pull herself together and starts questioning what happened? why was she called here? and where is Bobby or Savannah?. Detective Noah breaks the news I'm sorry Ma'am but it seems there was an accident your friend Savannah Smith died a horrific death due to a werewolf attack she was discovered by a group of hunters early this morning and immediately alerted the police I'm sorry. Detective Noah then asked were aware of Savannah's plans to come camping here at Yellowood Ridge national park? To Jennifer's surprise, she adamantly answers that wouldn't have been Savannah's plans in a million years she hates parks and camping never mind doing it alone it doesn't make any sense. To her surprise Detective Noah didn't ask any further questions Jennifer angrily asks is that all you going to ask me, detective, how will you solve what happened to my friend? We both know a wolf didn't do this. That theory is bizarre and far-fetched Sir. Detective Noah looks her straight in the eyes and tells her ma'am I see you do not understand there is nothing to solve she was attacked by a wolf and I'm sorry for your loss that is not a far-fetched theory it's a fact. Now can you help us confirm the body of Miss Smith we believe it's her because we found her Identification card in a purse that was discovered in her pocket? Mr. Smith, unfortunately, has been rushed to the hospital as he passed out and needed medical attention before he could confirm her daughter's body?. All Jennifer can do is following the detective to the gripping scene. Seeing the almost unrecognizable Savannah Smith her only friend was gone in the most brutal way she ever imagined. The scene was unbearable for Jennifer to look at as she suddenly felt the shrink of discomfort swirl in her stomach creating a feeling of tightness and heaviness in her chest she rushed to the side until she tripped and as if that action was causing her to empty nausea congested in her stomach she vomited endlessly until the weight in her was gone and as she started to realize what was in front of her a flash of light flickering on the ground this appeared to be a technological device but what puzzled Jennifer, even more, it was nothing she had ever seen or could recognize and precisely nothing available even on the latest released developments in the technological world. She was certain of that fact as Savannah worked at the Gallows technology Inc. A worldwide technology giant company. ''This can help this could mean something I should show it to the detective''. Jennifer strode back to the crime scene as she quickly spotted detective Noah "detective! I think this could…" An immediate silence posed on her as she heard what detective Noah was talking about with a strange man. "Please secure the crime scene and wrap up the case as soon as possible I will make sure the media doesn't make any racket about this". Jennifer could not believe what she just heard. As if nothing happened detective Noah turned his attention to Jennifer. " Miss George, can I help you?". His grimaced face said it all to Jennifer. "Nothing Sir I just recalled Savannah's boyfriend Max Lawrence is not here so he might have not heard please do contact him, that's all". Quickly, turning her back on detective Noah so she could hide the device in her hand. She clenched her fist trying to contain her outbursting outrage as she walked away from the crime scene. Many thoughts and emotions clouded her. " I cannot drive in this state, where are you Savannah how did you die so brutal how could you leave me with so many questions what did you mean to see me now see me no more". Jennifer was certain a sinister pitfall befell her friend and it led to her demise. "I will find out how and why you faced such death and I will make sure everyone involved in your awry death compensates with their life".
