Chapter One

Every 9 year old is supposed to be out, climbing trees and laughing and enjoying their time with their friends. For Ashleigh... her ninth year on this planet wasn't like that. At all. She didn't climb trees, she darted in between them, desperately running. For her own safety. For everyone.

She knew what she had done. She knew she had to keep it quiet.

She knew she'd take this secret to the grave.
