The moon shines bright tonight, which is rather inconvenient for my current situation.
Yet again, I've been given the job to dump another body. My father, Ward Cameron, runs this town. I aspire to be as great as he is, even if it means getting my hands a little dirty. I don't know who this man is, all I know is he put my family at stake and we can't have that. No one puts the Camerons freedom in jeopardy. Although I didn't kill him, I still feel bile rising in my throat as I drag his limp body through the soil. It never gets easier, I've just mastered the art of a great poker face. The first time I dumped a body here in the marsh, I watched it get devoured by an alligator. Yes, it ended with me being surprise attacked by Pope Heyward and getting into a brawl, but that's besides the point. This has been my go to spot from then on. It's peaceful and far away from the open eye. No one else comes down this way, unless they're heading to the historic church. Which should be no problem since it's eleven o'clock at night. The best part is that any evidence I leave behind gets lost in the stomachs of giant reptiles. It's a win win for the gators and I.
Looking down at the lifeless eyes of the man, I drop the body as a wave of anxiety pulses through me. I turn around avoiding the mans haunting gaze and march up and down the path. "Man up. You need to man up." I echo my fathers words back to myself. I stop in my track and take in a deep breath. The smell of pine fills my nostrils before I let out my breath through my mouth. My breath leaves a fog hanging in front of my face before disappearing. The nights are getting colder everyday. Summer's almost over and Autumn is creeping its way in. 

With my breathing under control and my mind distracted, I'm now able to get control of myself so I can finally get the job done. I head back for the body. 

Only a few more meters and this will all be over. Taking a hold of the mans wrists I lift him and begin to drag him further, but holt when I hear a gasp. A sound so soft I wouldn't have noticed it if my senses weren't so heightened right now.

I whip my head around, furrowing my brows as I meet the green eyes of a frozen, blonde girl.

"Shit."
