Prologue

Fourteen-year-old, Alessa Everly along with her parents had been waiting on her older brother, Carter, to return home on the day of his eighteenth birthday assuming he was out with friends, but he never returned back home.
Now seventeen she had just begun to accept the fact that her eighteenth would be celebrated without her big brother who has now been missing for 3 years. Yet, it was the Friday before Spring Break and a week before her birthday that nothing seemed to go as she hoped.
