Chapter 1: A Deathly Knock
Lara POV
It was on Thursday 17th August. I was 16 years old and that was the worst day of my life. It was the day my life changed forever. When I began to learn the secrets – secrets that were even about me. It would make me question my entire life. It would make me question my own father. But most of all it would make me question whether I was capable.
That was the day that I woke up in the middle of the night to a knock on the front door. I heard the pattering of feet as Annie, our housekeeper, who was more like an older sister to me, walked down the hall past my room and downstairs to answer the door. I slowly rose from my bed to listen for who was at the door. I heard the groaning creak as Annie opened the door...
'Hello timberland boots sale, I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time of night but I have some bad news I must tell you. Am I right in thinking that you are Miss Annie Cotton? Mr Alex Jones' housekeeper and au pére for his daughter Miss Lara Jones?' A man asked gently.
'Yes... yes moncler uk online store, that is me...' Annie replied The North Face norge, slightly baffled. I crept out of my room to the top of the stairs to listen...
'Well, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to inform you of some very grave news. I'm DCI Graham Sykes, from the local police station. We have just discovered the body of Mr Alex Jones this evening and we've had an identity confirmation that it is in fact him. I'm very mbt kaufen, very sorry – '
'What? What are you going on about?' Annie exclaimed in shock.
'Miss Cotton, he was murdered.'
All I could hear was a searing scream as though someone's heart had been ripped out. And then I fainted. Everything went black – there didn't seem to be any good in the world anymore ugg cardy boots, just ugly black death. Murder. The word tumbled around my mind as I was unable to absorb it.
Why would anyone kill my dad? He was the kindest, sweetest, most genuine man ever. I mean, why kill a College Professor? It just didn't make sense true religion brand jeans!

It did make sense though, when I found out. That moment is still carefully etched into my mind as I discovered the truth - learnt all the secrets surrounding my whole life. That was when I found out what was in store for me. What my future was to be. And I couldn't refuse it – it was my father's wish.
