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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEqVQ6DVve
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlN1XPblkG
"What is with you and this tree? Of you love it why don't you marry it?" Alicia teased him
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsVyWSon5d
"Very funny."

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."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx0uHrVvdo
"First they are a kpop idol group."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMbpquvDwh
"Nerd."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmqGI2XHLk
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6XOHKm6G
Ethan ignored the jab and contuined. "SEVENTEEN is awesome you don't need to diss them."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCHPYLgB35
Alicia scoffed , "yeah because thirteen men sound so melodious ."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S8I9UMnu5
"That's the vocal unit you're referring ."

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe6iLDrvE1
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNVuLjP3FR
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 ? "
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgcBA3S2y
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3RWD3fdwU
Ethan looked at the house ahead - his neighbour's. He just shook his head .
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYaYyYEV1
"How long has it been anyway?"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTfLHOlBGD
"A week ," Ethan said and frowned , "I'm worried. She left without saying anything."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIACmQuYAA
"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."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5aROoB4h
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRYham0Eq5
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwZT7AVCx0
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhbfNn6JEv
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzIqxHAiGr
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 .
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV4SGcq6lO
"I heard another body turned ...an animal this time ," she said while adjusting her specs.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHjTrRRyW
Ethan could feel the atmosphere become awkard. The only sound was the rain pouring around them. "When will they find this damn thing."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU6L7PfgZT
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."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbEvsy8iwf
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizSQTNNLNz
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7nGh97nSj
It wasn't easy meeting people who shared his beliefs about helping the world become a better place .
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL15z4mLLZ
As Ethan approached his home , That's when he saw a red truck in front of Ms Harris's house . "Is she back already?"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwdAA3bkA5
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yZ4oVpFaJ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSFc89Nzzs
"Can we help you?" A girl with long blonde honey hair with flashed him a smile.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmu0FgS7J
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?"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38VZxfqmMr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxgMxQeBDy
"Like you mentioned , it's rude ," one lady with shoulder length blonde brown hair said giving Ethan the stink eye.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJFho8E64B
The blonde guy , the tallest , shook his head and smirked , "We are the Mclains."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2nAvwXHbF
Ethan noticed that the three attractive people looked very similar , "Siblings."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAMqQJJpC
"Exactly ," the other girl with blonde honey hair said in a quiet voice offering him a small smile . Her Amber eyes seemed to sparkle.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeaquCgxRj
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."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6sye97cA
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?"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1BIrtjhCk
"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."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFjETgHX0H
"Aunt?" Ethan murmured ; Ms Harris never mentioned anything about family before , "you're her relatives?"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgAInBX3Jm
"It's what aunt means isn't it?" Elias joked playfully punching his shoulders.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGbHV4jjqB
Ethan let out a tense smile , "it is. I'm just surprised..Ms Harris never mentioned she had nieces or nephews."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvkA5JOgOz
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
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ783vAe9j2Y
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP6SnS0u4k
Elias wrapped an arm around him , "like Dove said , don't mind Crystal she's always cranky and in a bad mood."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2800Z2VFBB
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuy1zUAB7C
"I understand"
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVsH7xMyHI
Dove smiled , "it was a pleasure meeting you Ethan "
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAf5fG33m
"Like wise."
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bHKqN47nu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScVXOU37e
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.
