Danger Follows
Moving to a new town and adjusting to a new lifestyle had been difficult for Jennie. As time passed by, she began to make new friends and seemed to have forgotten the tragedies of Milwaukee. Her parents seemed to notice the improvement in her attitude. They felt such relief that she had let it all go. There was a rule that nothing from the past events in Milwaukee be mentioned, or even thought about for that matter. All seemed to be headed in the right direction. Since the move from Milwaukee, Jennie hadn't really taken any interest in dating. How could she? It's not everyday you meet a psycho killer and fall in their "death trap of love". She had been lucky to escape his clinches without any physical trauma. The emotional trauma she had encountered was harsh enough. How could she ever trust another guy? After the first few weeks at her new school, she came upon a signup sheet for the Varsity Cheerleading Squad. This was it! Her big chance to start all over! She had been a cheerleader back in Milwaukee, but unfortunately she had to give that up in the big move. She couldn't seem to quit thinking about trying out for the squad. She daydreamed of showing her spirit during English class
Her parents explained their concerns that she may become too caught up in things and that may lead to problems, just as they had in the past. She assured them things would never come to such a great extent. Jennie never told anyone about her strange encounter that night. they probably wouldn't believe her anyways. Her parents never found out the truth. Jennie wasn't sure what really happened that night. All Jennie knew was that after that night, her life would never be the same. What did all this mean? Could her past from Milwaukee be coming back to haunt her? Jennie hit it off with the other members of the squad immediately. All of the cheerleaders stuck together. They were like sisters. In fact, Jennie became such an important part of the group that most people had forgotten that she had been "the new girl" just a few weeks previously. "Wake up Jennie. We've got to get you home. Come on." Jennie opened her eyes to see Jason standing over her tugging at her arm. As she traveled back to camp, she sensed that she wasn't alone again. She thought she could see movement in the woods around her. She heard nothing and convinced herself it was just her imagination. Faint whispers muttered from behind the trees. Since winter was approaching, Jennie and Jason thought it would be a good idea to go camping one last time before winter arrived. Her parents became worried and thought of making her resign form the squad. They knew how she enjoyed cheering, so they decided to ignore things for a while, just in case Jennie was just going through on of those "rebellious" stages they had feared so long ago. After a while, things started to take new forms. Their vision got a little blurry and their movement a little swayed. Jennie began to get sick. They hadn't realized just how much they had already drunk. The forest was so dark and mysteriously frightening. Jennie heard only the chirping of the crickets and rustling of the leaves as the wind swiftly swayed the trees. Jennie could hear the faint sound of running water. She staggered passed trees and brush toward the sound of the water. "Before you say anything, hear me out. I hardly ever do anything anymore. Remember how I used to stay so busy that I was hardly ever at home? I miss that. Just think how many friend I would make! It's my senior year. It's my last chance. Please?? Tell me I can try out. It will mean so much to me. Please, please, please?" It took a while, but Jennie went to bed that night with a smile on her face.
