Walking through the woods Cassie shoves her earbuds in to tune out the crunch of leaves underneath her feet. Bowing her head she closes her eyes bobbing her head to the music. Stumbling, she turns around to find what she tripped over. Finding a blonde woman staring at her with milky eyes the only thought in her head was 'RUN'. Flipping back onto her knees she rushes to get back onto her feet and out of the woods. Taking long running leaps she makes it out of the woods in record time music still blasting in her ears. Seeing her house in the distance she forces herself to keep running even with the burning in her lungs. Making it to the front door she bends over gasping trying to refill her lungs. Opening the door she can hear her mother in the kitchen making dinner singing along to the radio. Stumbling over to the couch she pulls out her phone to call the police. "911 what's your emergency." She hears from the other end of the line. Stumbling over her words she finally manages to get out. "There's a dead body in the woods." "I'm sorry, can you repeat that." The operator says. "I saw a dead body in the woods on my way home." Cassise repeats. "Can you give me your name and address so that I can send a unit over so that you can show them to the body?" The operator asks. "My name is Cassie Westhaven and my address is 617 Andrew Boulevard." She says. "A unit will be there in about 5 minutes." The operator says before handing up the call.
A loud knock sounds through the room just after the five minute mark. "I'll get it mom." Cassie calls out. "OK sweetie." She says going back to singing. Opening the door two officers greet her. "Hello miss this is Detective Caspian Wright and I am Head Detective Elijah Moon we are looking for Cassie Westhaven." The taller officer says leaning on the doorway. "I'm Cassie, how can I help you officers?" She asks. "We'll need you to come with us." Nodding she follows them out to the squad car parked out front. Driving to the entrance of the woods they stop and make their way inside. Slowly Cassise follows the steps she had taken earlier that day trying to find the woman. Making their way through the forest they follow after Cassie. Watching the ground she notices the rustled leaves and stumbles over to them, brushing them away gently. The woman's blonde hair is covered in dirt and leaves sticking in other places. The officers rush over and pull her away from the woman. Grabbing the radio on his shoulder he calls " Units we have found the body please send additional units to secure the scene." Detective Moon says. Soon officers are crawling inch by inch across the scene and yet the body has been untouched. An older woman stops next to the body with a young man holding a large bag and what looks like a tarp. "Has anyone touched the body." The woman calls out with a Scottish accent. "Just Miss Westhaven here Dr. Brown." Detective Wright says gesturing to her. "Someone will need to take her prints." Dr. Brown says, turning back to examine the body. The Doctor bends down and starts to swipe away the leaves covering the rest of the woman's body. As more of the body was uncovered the Dr. noticed a large carving in her stomach. "Mr. Payne I need you to take a picture of this woman's stomach." Dr. Brown says to the man next to her. "Ma'am, that looks like a name." The man says staring through the lens of the camera. "Well what do you think it says then Evan." Dr. Brown says. "I believe it, says Cassie ma'am." Evan says to the Doctor.
