“Take this next left!”
“No, Lennox, don’t—that’s Hicks Road! It’s totally haunted!”
“A road can’t be haunted. And besides, it’s awesome. Left, right here.”
Allison Maren grabbed the steering wheel and gave it a sharp turn, the car
lurching, tires squealing as the road went from smooth pavement to gravel.
“Allison!” Lennox Oliver said as she shoved the brunette half playfully.
“Don’t touch the wheel.” The two passengers dissolved into giggles, and
once her prickles of fear subsided, Lennox did too. It was nice to relax. She
was new in town and had spent her first three weeks at Pioneer High trying
her best to go unnoticed. It was halfway through the year, everyone had
their friend groups already, and Lennox had no interest in being new-kid
bully fodder. She was shy and thin with a head full of unruly brown curls
and five different schools in her wake. While the scenery was great as she
crisscrossed the country with her traveling ER nurse dad, the new schools—
and new kids—were not.
“This is it?” Lennox peered out the window, waiting for her eyes to
adjust to the tree-darkened street. She glanced at the clock: 9:47. She hoped
that a streetlight or a swath of moonlight would cut through the trees and
give her a better view of this supposedly haunted road. The headlights on
her old Honda seemed weak, illuminating the yellow lines directly in front
of the car and nothing else.
“Just looks like a normal road to me,” Lennox said. “Trees, double
yellow lines. Very road-like.”
“It’s not the road, exactly,” said Allison, shifting in her seat. She
pointed. “It’s mainly the road and everything surrounding it.”
Lennox squinted. The foliage wasn’t particularly dark or menacing: big
gnarled oaks interspersed with pine trees, an occasional cartoon-green
splash of ferns.
“They say there is a cult of witches that practices around here,” Eva
Lorna said, her voice ominous from the back seat.
“So dumb!” Allison groaned. “And I heard it was druids.”
“Like priests?” Lennox asked.
“Not even,” Eva said with a definitive nod. “It’s a sad story, actually.”
“Sad why?”
Eva blew out a sigh. “Like, a million years ago or sometime in the
eighties or something, there was this giant earthquake out here, and this
family got trapped up on the top of Hicks. It was a mom and a dad and two
little kids, a girl and a boy. Legend has it they waited for days for help—
maybe even weeks. So long that the family started eating each other.”
“What?” Lennox gulped.
