Grissom was sitting in the back right corner of the classroom as thats where he always sits. the teacher was saying something but Grissom couldn't hear he never paid attention in class, he would always have his ear buds in listening to his music while looking out the window. He had always been a quiet kid ever since seven years before when he lost his best friend, no one has heard him speak since, not even his parents. his teacher Mrs. Hoagland walked up to him and pulled one of his buds out, "Grissom I asked you a question" she said Grissom took a quick glance at the board and wrote the answer down on some paper and showed it to her "very well" she said, Grissom then put his bud back in and walked out of class, he could hear his teacher and some students shouting things but he just kept going right out the door of the school

........

The next day at lunch some kid walked up to him Grissom recalled his name was Davin he pulled out one of his buds and listened to what he had to say Davin pulled Grissom out of his seat and pushed him against the wall

"speak" he said in an aggressive low tone "ohh my friend died when I was seven big woop kid we all know about it why don't you stop being a baby about it and speak" Davin saw the anger in Grissoms eyes but he could see his tears so he continued "no one gives a shit about your dead friend" Davin instantly regretted his words Grissom escaped Davins grasp with ease he then knocked him off his feet and said the last words Davin would ever hear "**** you bitch" Grissom quickly grabbed a fork from his lunch and quickly stabbed him through his eye Grissoms vision blurred he could only see red he looked at his bloody hands and then ran for the exit.

.......

it had been at **least a couple weeks Grissom hadn't stopped running since he came to a sighn it read "Post Falls 1 mile" Grissom continued to run towards the town he was hungry, thirsty, and hadn't slept for weeks

he needed to go quick it wouldn't be too long before the word spread here assuming it hasn't already as Grissom reached Post Falls a newspaper stand comes into view he sees the newspapers are just being changed, he walked up to the stand and read through the newspaper on the cover it read "boy from Michigan murders child brutally stabbing him through the eye with a fork" Grissom quickly took out a match and burned the news papers as his vision blurred he started to run as he ran his ears started to ring he couldn't hear he couldn't see he fell to the ground passing out by the skate park wall

.........

Grissom was woken it was dark but he could still see a beautiful young girl about his age she was saying something pointing at the blood on his shirt but Grissom still couldn't hear he just stared into her beautiful green eyes then his vision went black.

2 WEEKS EARLIER

Aspen was sitting in the darkest corner of her room with her hood up throwing knives at the wall across from her. She had locked herself in her room after killing a neighborhood bully "Stacy", her entire family and all of her neighbors, the only time she would leave her room was at night, so she wouldn't get caught

sometimes she would come across people but she would simply kill them as well, Aspen lived in a semi large city in Idaho called Post Falls, it was a strange city to the other residents, people going missing at least once a week. Obviously Aspen knew it wasn't the city but her who had caused the people to go missing sometimes if she was hungry enough she would eat the remains of her victims, every night she would search for her next victim but would never go past the skatepark because, of the cameras they had set up nearby, Aspen was on her nightly search when she saw a group of search lights around the corner, she quickly hid behind a nearby tree, she was surprised by the search party none had ever been near her neighborhood "their catching on" she thought to herself "im gonna have to move, but to where?" she watched carefully not to be seen as the searchlights passed the tree again they seemed to have gone so Aspen dashed back to her house hoping no one would see her.

The night passed quickly Aspen was deep in thought sitting on her bed when she got an idea she would go to school, she was always homeschooled so no one would know her

it would get her off the radar for at least a couple weeks she would have to think of something else later, she quickly hid all her knives, changed out of her bloody clothes, took a quick shower, and gathered school supplies from upstairs Aspen double checked the mirror and made sure she washed out all the blood, she made sure no one was around and headed to the school.

Aspen made sure she was in class before everyone else so she could have the back corner seat, she put up her hood as the students entered a larger kid walked up to her "that's my seat" he said trying to sound bigger than he already was Aspen let out a low growl while simultaneously flashing a knife into view from under her sleeve so only he could see it, he backed up immediately, Aspen could read people very well and could see the fear in his eyes as he spoke " you know I didn't want that seat anyway" he said "I'll take this one" he sat down at the farthest desk from Aspen. Aspen realized that the whole class saw her growl and make the boy back off apparently his name was Steve and he was the school bully, everyone saw how scared he was which made them scared as well, even the teacher seemed a bit scared, it was like that for a while, but as time went by their suspicion grew Aspen could see it and decided to go on a victim search that night.

Aspen sat in her room as it got darker, she changed into some ripped jeans and her last hoodie, her least favorite it was pink and said sweet in white letters, but what she hated lthe most was that it showed the bottom half of her stomach, but it was what she had.

Aspen was on her search and was coming up to the skatepark, she saw someone leaned against the wall she readied her knife but as she got closer she saw it was a boy about her age maybe a year or two younger, she saw blood on his hands, face, and clothes, she crouched beside him and put the knife away she shook the boy awake his hood shaded his face all she could see was his beautiful chocolate brown eyes she was panicking and started to ask about the blood and how he got here but he didn't seem to hear her, he just stared at her until he passed out again.

Aspen didn't want to kill him and she also didn't want to leave him there so she scooped him into her arms, he was surprisingly light as she carried him to her house.

At the house she set him down on her bed in her room, she searched around and found a bloody hoodie and some ripped jeans she took the blood from the hoodie and wrote "to cut" across it and set the clothes at the foot of her bed.

Grissom woke up in a strange room looking around it seemed like a basement he was in a bed at first he thought it might be a cell but then he saw the clothes at the foot of the bed he looked around some more and saw a target on the wall with some knives perfectly surrounding the bulsye and one bloody knife in the center he noticed there was blood on all the knives he thought to himself looking around that he was in an abandoned house probably home to a deranged murderer but then why didn't they kill him he was too wrapped up in his thoughts to hear the door open or the footsteps coming down the stairs he saw the feet of his kidnapper they were bare and surprisingly smooth and clean as they came into view he realized it was the beautiful girl from earlier or maybe not how long had he been out he heard her soft voice it was somehow comforting to him as she spoke "good your up" she said "I brought you some food you look like you haven't eaten for days I also brought you some clothes" Grissom couldn't help but stare at her beautiful green eyes he shook his head and spoke " thanks, but who are you?" she noticed him staring and blushed "you just eat and get changed we'll talk later" she told him as she set the food down and left the room Grissom set the food aside and stood up he changed his clothes the clothes she had set aside were a black hoodie with the words "to cut" written in blood and a pair of ripped jeans when he was done changing he called her back down to talk to her. when she came down she saw the food untouched "you didn't eat" she said "i am not going to eat your food i can get my own" Grissom replied "why is there blood on this hoodie?" he asked curiously "why was there blood on your clothes,hands, and face?" she replied. they both went silent for at least a good 5 minutes when Grissom broke the silence "shit" he said how long have I been out" he said while running up the stairs "a couple days" she replied upstairs Grissom turned on the TV and changed to the news as the girl followed behind him as Grissom had thought he was all over the news he turned to the girl his face pale he saw the shock on her face and waited for her to turn him in but what she said next surprised Grissom "oh shit" she said with a smile on her face "your like me" Grissom turned off the TV "I'm confused im a fucking murderer, why aren't you turning me in? where are your parents?" the girl still with a large soft comforting smile " I never got your name" "Grissom, and yours?"

"Aspen, I killed my parents" she replied Grissom couldn't stop staring at her beautiful green eyes and when she said her name he stared even more it was a beautiful name that matched her perfectly Aspen blushing hard from Grissoms staring did something very unexpected she kissed Grissom he couldn't believe it he kissed her back, her lips tasted of cherries with a bit of orange. Grissom and Aspen were both blushing hard and silent until Aspen broke the silence "how about we get out of here"
