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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86k16T314z
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tggfV8udb
"What is with you and this tree? Of you love it why don't you marry it?" Alicia teased him
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlsDL29Lb7
"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."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GN5gs9Y3
"First they are a kpop idol group."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijYap3vru0
"Nerd."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uPtEzqvnq
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95MQL7CnpR
Ethan ignored the jab and contuined. "SEVENTEEN is awesome you don't need to diss them."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl1XgxGQUR
Alicia scoffed , "yeah because thirteen men sound so melodious ."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEWTLVvhgj
"That's the vocal unit you're referring ."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6gkQeiUcq
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jlTwknwdT
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4A4wm2a3a
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 ? "
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Wj1DiIY1
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFVf8Oipr
Ethan looked at the house ahead - his neighbour's. He just shook his head .
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTGPrCA0T1
"How long has it been anyway?"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSupDXF5Nok
"A week ," Ethan said and frowned , "I'm worried. She left without saying anything."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGlJpMoOsN
"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."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXxkb4Q80g
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnkWLkcUpq
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP8XMzUm0z
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeBVQYLm22
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvpHMTiDbg
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Y51pJHOp
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 .
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlt5iMZfX9
"I heard another body turned ...an animal this time ," she said while adjusting her specs.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRllcgUxHhn
Ethan could feel the atmosphere become awkard. The only sound was the rain pouring around them. "When will they find this damn thing."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEiiosoNog
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."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEdKsjAuT0
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhcvpskEwn
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ9hSoUHjK
It wasn't easy meeting people who shared his beliefs about helping the world become a better place .
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWtZldoTdC
As Ethan approached his home , That's when he saw a red truck in front of Ms Harris's house . "Is she back already?"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJadse4dZZY
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7pDArcxP
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh8kWmKCvN
"Can we help you?" A girl with long blonde honey hair with flashed him a smile.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUL4zqlH8
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?"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSbO6Br86v
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDF8NmKjep
"Like you mentioned , it's rude ," one lady with shoulder length blonde brown hair said giving Ethan the stink eye.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZviGycyX9
The blonde guy , the tallest , shook his head and smirked , "We are the Mclains."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYfuHEZy7c
Ethan noticed that the three attractive people looked very similar , "Siblings."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQj7YirJQU
"Exactly ," the other girl with blonde honey hair said in a quiet voice offering him a small smile . Her Amber eyes seemed to sparkle.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA2ijOqKTg
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."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2So5opLwVk
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?"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG697LHyhx
"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."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ384byXmU6
"Aunt?" Ethan murmured ; Ms Harris never mentioned anything about family before , "you're her relatives?"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOPoU3sXUC
"It's what aunt means isn't it?" Elias joked playfully punching his shoulders.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbLf1Aa4Z
Ethan let out a tense smile , "it is. I'm just surprised..Ms Harris never mentioned she had nieces or nephews."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEFLufUto2
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
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXOSSH1nPn
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXfL4uYHQ
Elias wrapped an arm around him , "like Dove said , don't mind Crystal she's always cranky and in a bad mood."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve9SpkNfld
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.
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfohCLiIis1
"I understand"
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm8KRO9c1V
Dove smiled , "it was a pleasure meeting you Ethan "
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX816O9slDc
"Like wise."
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyyfzDMlT
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4yM1hcMra
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.
