Blurb "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Are you sure about this?" "Yes, I am." Liam handed me the blade and the document. I read the faded words, and then sliced my hand twice. My arm didn't feel any pain as I signed the paper in my blood. What I did know was that I wasn't going to be picked on again. What I didn't know was that I had signed my life away. It didn't cross my mind; not even when Liam sunk his teeth into my neck... Tilly had a normal(ish) life before she moved to Nevermoor Island, but when she moves there her life turns upside-down. At her new school there is a clear line between the popular bullies and the victims. The victims always would be off school (ill?), or missing, or dead, so Tilly joins the bullies to be on the 'safe side', so she thinks. The bullies have a dark secret that haunts the island and involves the mystery of the missing victims, and Tilly gets caught up in it. Will she ever get out of the web of blood? NOTE- This is based on a dream I had! Yes, I have a dark mind

Signed in Blood

1. Prologue

 

I had a pretty normal life before I moved to Nevermoor Island. I had a couple of good friends and a single mother that always came home drunk, so I was always at my friends houses. You don’t think that’s normal? Well, that shows how normal Nevermoor Island was.

On the last day of year 8, I came home to, surprisingly, my mother who was sober for once. Then she announced we were moving the next day and I had to pack up all my stuff. After closer investigation I found that she had been fired from her job three months ago and she had stopped paying the bills. She had not informed me of either.

So I left my friends, my town, and my life behind.

And that’s where my story begins.
