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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdZTP7NpAU
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6LKZme3Y
"What is with you and this tree? Of you love it why don't you marry it?" Alicia teased him
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2eT1TEouX
"Very funny."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJ9SnfF9k
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSrdfk9wi
"First they are a kpop idol group."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5j1HGmUHe
"Nerd."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPkkIsnDHD
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrsGjKOANJ
Ethan ignored the jab and contuined. "SEVENTEEN is awesome you don't need to diss them."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetnQS3Ygv
Alicia scoffed , "yeah because thirteen men sound so melodious ."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnic7LLeF8
"That's the vocal unit you're referring ."

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInNuDllid
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjCBAs71rB
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 ? "
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCWMEqqlZU
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGellqDcUp
Ethan looked at the house ahead - his neighbour's. He just shook his head .
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlG2Tv7IX
"How long has it been anyway?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGuxF5RSYj
"A week ," Ethan said and frowned , "I'm worried. She left without saying anything."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPwO9Qv07f
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LGXtadqDP
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfqWp5c0G9
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKx1DABx0S
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxWzC1Cwg
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0RXj5aEzN
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gwEV0PUI
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 .
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDcrGpLaF
"I heard another body turned ...an animal this time ," she said while adjusting her specs.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKDxiX9us1
Ethan could feel the atmosphere become awkard. The only sound was the rain pouring around them. "When will they find this damn thing."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcPOYcbL4A
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2PnvHHat
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNtGyLtTlY
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sj2doUzOv
It wasn't easy meeting people who shared his beliefs about helping the world become a better place .
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnndev7xE3
As Ethan approached his home , That's when he saw a red truck in front of Ms Harris's house . "Is she back already?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q2iBgVSzm
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHnTxd0osp
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA251yIgADL
"Can we help you?" A girl with long blonde honey hair with flashed him a smile.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SwEQ5WSOE
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?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBotkKxA8ER
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8gGRLuwAG
"Like you mentioned , it's rude ," one lady with shoulder length blonde brown hair said giving Ethan the stink eye.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4BORMWi2F
The blonde guy , the tallest , shook his head and smirked , "We are the Mclains."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBduQf3SST
Ethan noticed that the three attractive people looked very similar , "Siblings."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2VAvsFu3Q
"Exactly ," the other girl with blonde honey hair said in a quiet voice offering him a small smile . Her Amber eyes seemed to sparkle.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWfarYJE4n
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 ."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7cZjZcLzg

"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2aGhyDJn
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?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocNlpfqk83
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0G6zYMtqS
"Aunt?" Ethan murmured ; Ms Harris never mentioned anything about family before , "you're her relatives?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZa3W2i6S9
"It's what aunt means isn't it?" Elias joked playfully punching his shoulders.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VgJi9Ppcz
Ethan let out a tense smile , "it is. I'm just surprised..Ms Harris never mentioned she had nieces or nephews."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsvrGl8uoK
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
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnI4AfO78n
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHRK2pgWO
Elias wrapped an arm around him , "like Dove said , don't mind Crystal she's always cranky and in a bad mood."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxOnbaHCO
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQASJRw82
"I understand"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01MfLZvfN
Dove smiled , "it was a pleasure meeting you Ethan "
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Mf6hb07G
"Like wise."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUTolYkXZ
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyt5WYnW1G
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.
