This Secret We Buried

By Bria Luna

She wants nothing more than to leave the past behind...

Unfortunately.

For eighteen-year-old Kirsten Elliott, that's next to impossible with the sudden threat looming over her and her friends.

Does it have to be with the secret they share?

Plans to start a new life are soon forgotten as Kirsten and her friends start getting hurt.

Now, they're forced to face their demons and accept that probably they're to blame for the nightmare taking over their lives.

Or are they not?

Will Kirsten find a way to stop this nightmare before it's too late? Or will this threat claim more victims, tainting it all red, until everyone's dead?

Only one thing is for sure, nobody's safe.

And just like that.

They broke my heart all over again.

It was driving me insane and I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed a way out, if only for a few hours. Hence the reason I did what I did.

I blamed myself for what went down. I tried to make it right.

But apparently, I didn’t try hard enough. I let his sweet lies deter me and fell prey to his charm. My ex boyfriend and I shared a shameful secret.
