Henry's friend moved out and new family moved with a dark past.
The New Family
Henry was a boy who loved to take long walks. He could walk for hours smelling the air and watching the clouds. One day on one of his usual walks through the country, he saw the new family move into the closest house about a mile away. Three months ago Henry had to say goodbye to Timmy who was his closest friend, and seeing this new family move into his home aroused his curiosity.
Knowing they wouldn't see him because of the huge front yard, he decided to sit back behind the sycamore tree. He watched them run back and forth in excitement, unloading the cars, and carrying the bags in their new house. Because this was Timmy's house he started to get angry, that was until he saw her. Out from the front door with a bright smile was the most beautiful girl Henry has every seen. Henry started to feel emotions that he has never felt before.
He wanted to introduce himself to the family, so he built up his courage and stepped out. Doing so, the father saw him and stopped ubruptly! He then told everyone to get inside and lock the doors. Panick and fear took over their faces as that scurried through the front door. Before the father walked inside, he looked out to where Henry was, then looked around for any others. In a flash he shut the door with a loud bang and then bolted the locks.
At age 13 and living in the country, Henry has never seen something so odd before. He quickly turned around and started to run home. He made it about two steps when all of a sudden a loud noise came from behind him. Immediatly, something pierced the road letting up dirt and debris. Running, Henry looked backed and saw the father pointing a rifle out of the 2nd floor window. Henry tried to run harder but then several more shots came his way. Luckily he wasn't hit by any one of them, but that wouldn't stop him until he made it safe home.

The new family is in town, and this town will never be the same.
