Ethan Bennett listened to the song playing on his phone , his ears only listening to the latest song by the Korean kpop group that went by the name SEVENTEEN. He always found the name ironic given there wwre thirteen members in SEVENTEEN.

"You do realize it's raining right?" His best friend , Alicia Olivar said giving him a weird look.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqksrlj8fU
Ethan merely smiled , "that's why I'm sitting under the tree." It's impressive height structure and elongated branches and lucrative leaves shielded him from the rain around him.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptw3j036SV
"What is with you and this tree? Of you love it why don't you marry it?" Alicia teased him
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kQKq4yPcg
"Very funny."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFcRXnw6lL
This tree was his favorite spot in all of Mill Creek , basically one of the oldest monuments in the town as well. Ethan always enjoyed reading or sitting under trees . He was even part of his school's Stop Global Warming and Save Trees program. unlike most teenagers of the 21st , he was an outdoor kid which made sense him and his dad were always the type who preferred roughing it.

This tree grew on his neighbor's field. The woman let him hang around it time to time. The tree always offered The Bennett boy a serene atmosphere.

Alicia plugged the other headset in her ear , "urgh.. them again . Your taste in music sucks. What is with you and this Korean boy band."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv68axwxYUJ
"First they are a kpop idol group."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURt1MXgBDR
"Nerd."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCp9i7vUzD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqcrRx6dxA
Ethan ignored the jab and contuined. "SEVENTEEN is awesome you don't need to diss them."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yrjMwU6bC
Alicia scoffed , "yeah because thirteen men sound so melodious ."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdq5DGHTuY
"That's the vocal unit you're referring ."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIVkcYmG08
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zNtoVO3kT
Alicia scolwed , "I hate your sunshine personality. It takes away the fun of mocking." Yet she still had the headset plugged in her ear listening to the kpop group as well.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYcCF4cCt
Ethan chuckled ; he and Alicia had been best friends since Fourth grade and for as long as he could remember she was always blunt and moody . If he was sun she was a dark gloomy cloud.

"Isn't Mrs Harris back yet ? "
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JL5lO1eQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQiYHOP3yR
Ethan looked at the house ahead - his neighbour's. He just shook his head .
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhOyZ8dHNP
"How long has it been anyway?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2JOFAHjzN
"A week ," Ethan said and frowned , "I'm worried. She left without saying anything."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymJKWAaeu
"Would she have told you if she was going somewhere. I'm pretty sure she's visiting a sister or friend or whatever it is old grouchy ladies do out of town."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM62b4dBqYA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjCDT8jtgA
Ethan listened to his best friend finding her nonchantly opinion plausible. Mrs Harris wasn't exactly the typical sweet dotting elderly woman who lived by herself next door. She nagged and complained alot and didn't put up with shit.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K8TOMwAkx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIvm60ckqf
Though the Bennett boy liked to believe Mrs Harris must have had a soft spot for him otherwise what grouchy antisocial lady allowed a boy to hang around the tree in her fields ? True she did reject and chase him away the first time he asked politely but like the parable of the widow and judge she relented seeing his stubbornness. She could still be grouchy was less nasty about it over the years . Besides getting access to be in her fields , he was glad she never made crude remarks about him light brown shade complexion.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6J0WMW1Jb
As much of a bat Mrs Harris was , Ethan couldn't help missing her presence . It was strange for her house to be this silent without hearing a complaint or the sounds of pots and pans clinking.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHRbakxvhd
Alicia had a point , he doubted Mrs Harris would have said anything if she was leaving. It just felt off to Ethan that she did .
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrQJWRLUlv
"I heard another body turned ...an animal this time ," she said while adjusting her specs.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJgfofyzW
Ethan could feel the atmosphere become awkard. The only sound was the rain pouring around them. "When will they find this damn thing."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIdH9qzx3B
The last seven weeks , all he was hearing was mutilated bodies were being found - toren for that matter. Various body parts were , last week the mayor and sheriff Arnold , a man whose face was so tired and exhausted and looked like it had seen everything and still seeing everything in the world , had declared that some mountain lion or tiger was behind the attack.

"I don't know ," Alicia shrugged , "but im not surprised. I mean who situates their town so close in the forest."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03WjSsCr4P
Ethan had to admit his best friend was right sure their town was modern however Mill Creek was filled with vast forests , it was almost encompassed by them. Naturally certain animals like bears would even find their way into town.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyy3h3ScTn
He looked at the rainy sky and muttered , "i hope it's just stopped soon." Although he wouldn't remember this untill much later , a small voice in Ethan's head knew theweren't commiteed by some ravage animal.

Ethan received a text from Win , his friend in the Stop Global Warming Group that they were organizing another meeting soon and he replied . Saving the earth was Ethan's vocation. Ever since he was little he liked associating with those who shared his fundamental beliefs about deforestation and global warming.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsiMPy2Yy
It wasn't easy meeting people who shared his beliefs about helping the world become a better place .
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrlu8UiDAq
As Ethan approached his home , That's when he saw a red truck in front of Ms Harris's house . "Is she back already?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVOi8jPeC
The closer he walked over to his house the more he was met with unfamiliar faces - three blonde strangers were taking in stuff into his neighbor's house.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQD4KGFtMj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmh2FMx6Hs
"Can we help you?" A girl with long blonde honey hair with flashed him a smile.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzN4ABFnp
Ethan noticed the attention on him from the blondes which kind of disturbed him - talk about intense looks. "Uh..I don't mean to sound rude , but who are you people ? Is Ms Harris back?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXB4pUJk6h
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdbkvG9RHP
"Like you mentioned , it's rude ," one lady with shoulder length blonde brown hair said giving Ethan the stink eye.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5FUU6fbk
The blonde guy , the tallest , shook his head and smirked , "We are the Mclains."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHuAjjqjYR
Ethan noticed that the three attractive people looked very similar , "Siblings."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ1r4vPUwZ
"Exactly ," the other girl with blonde honey hair said in a quiet voice offering him a small smile . Her Amber eyes seemed to sparkle.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElmXDIh1yP
The one who was bluntly honest looked like the eldest as far as Ethan observed probably not older than twenty three. As if sensing him , the lady turned to scowl at him.
"Excuse me , but if you've noticed we are busy . We need to move our stuff ."

"Don't mind Crystal ," the younger blonde girl said ,"she's always rude with everyone. " The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear , "I'm Dove and that's our little brother , Elias."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASP6g1i9So
Ethan smiled , "I'm Ethan . I live behind your house." He then looked at the house , "I know I sound nosy but is Ms Harris back?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNgIoftoQM
"You mean aunt Hari?" The blonde male , Elias smirked . "Oh , she's out of town for a few days and she invited us to look after her home."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWol4COZKXu
"Aunt?" Ethan murmured ; Ms Harris never mentioned anything about family before , "you're her relatives?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrnfauoKmq
"It's what aunt means isn't it?" Elias joked playfully punching his shoulders.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOTB3KahC
Ethan let out a tense smile , "it is. I'm just surprised..Ms Harris never mentioned she had nieces or nephews."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw50wpt38Aw
The one named Dove looked like she wanted to say something instead was cut off by the oldest , "Listen here. We just travelled and are really tired we have stuff that still needs unpacking. So if you mind " she didn't sugar coat anything her voice clearly expressed she was bothered by his presence
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugJj3CCMA2
Ethan took note that all three siblings were attractive; Crystal had shoulder length brown blonde hair and deep brown eyes that were very intense and red blood lips. Dove had an angelic delicate beauty around her - a real live doll , her amber eyes seemed to sparkle and her honey blonde hair was long . Elias , the only boy and the youngest , had a great bulit that Ethan was sure drove many girls (and maybe boys) crazy. Elias had the most handsome blue green eyes and a face that looked liked a perfect sculpture. The blonde's hair was almost bright like the golden sun which contrasted his older sisters. Yup , these new neighbors were very hot - probably the hottest people Mill Creek had ever seen.

"It's cool." He said after making a proper evaluation of the McLain family.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Mq2UGTlQ
Elias wrapped an arm around him , "like Dove said , don't mind Crystal she's always cranky and in a bad mood."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLTZSpcJ2G
Ethan's heart seemed to stop beating for a while when the handsome blonde male got chummy with him. Elias' smile seemed a bit off to him - it looked friendly but it didn't match the mischief in his blue green eyes.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddWuTvlK1F
"I understand"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYClYHptIno
Dove smiled , "it was a pleasure meeting you Ethan "
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A4AurGpAJ
"Like wise."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnMk8YJ4cj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d9Fa9aQJK
Ethan turned back to observe the three McLain Siblings; Crystal , Dove and Elias and as he looked at them he couldn't shake off the feeling something wasn't right with them.
