Violette was just finishing pulling her favorite blue sundress over her shoulders when she heard the horn honking. Peaking out the window she saw Madison’s blue Audi parked in the driveway. She slipped on her flip flops and grabbed her purse, rushing to the door.

She was so excited to go looking for dresses with Madison. In the past few weeks, Madison and Andrea had become her two best friends. Violette could not wait until they were her sisters.

The horn sounded once more as Violette stepped out of the front door and waved. It was unlike Madison to be so impatient; Violette figured she must really be in a rush to begin shopping.

Violette ran over to the car and sat down with a smile, “Hey, you’re early.”

Madison shrugged her shoulders and peeled out of the driveway, avoiding Violette’s eyes. Violette was surprised to see the usually stylish girl was wearing jeans and a dark black hoodie, with the hood pulled close around her thick curls. Violette was confused, it would have been one thing if it was sunny, but the sun was safely tucked behind dark clouds.

Violette looked at the speedometer as it sped up past seventy on her back road. That was fast, even for one of them. She glanced warily at Madison, “Are we in a hurry?”

Again, Madison did not answer her. Instead a smile spread onto her face and she shrugged her shoulders. Violette felt her stomach drop, something was not right. Madison was shy, but not rude.

She felt goose bumps forming on her arms as she looked at Madison. Violette thought she would try asking her a question in her mind.

Madison, did I do something to upset you? Violette stared intently at the beautiful girl next to her, waiting for a reaction. But Madison did not even flinch at her question. It was as if she did not even hear it.

Violette looked out her window, and saw the bridal shop they were supposed to go to passing by so fast she barely even recognized it.

“Madison, what is going on?” Panic was beginning to set in, as Violette realized that something was definitely wrong. Her breathing became ragged as silence ensued.

“Madison?!” A purely evil grin was spreading on her face as Violette’s fear progressed. “Please answer me!”
