Chapter no.1

It was a cold, dark night in October. The wolves were howling at the moon in despair and the wind blew cold. It was almost as they knew what was going to happen.

Arden Smith looked down at the ground beneath his feet.

"I hope his works." He said and started digging. Soon he'd dug a little hole right in the middle of the crossroad.
