Homecoming

Peyton Jameson O'Brien was twenty-two the last time she set foot in Chesterwood. She witnessed her mother's brutal murder, but has blocked out who killed her and soon after her death Peyton started to have dreams about her mother's killer. When word got around that Peyton thought she was having visions of new murders she was ostracized and left Chesterwood.

Ten years later there was a knock on her door and she was face to face with her husband's pregnant mistress. Peyton emptied her house and her bank accounts and headed back to the only other home she had ever known.

Now Peyton is running to the place that she ran from. A place where the man who murdered her mother is still free and the place where she cannot deny the visions she is having of not only other murders since her mother…but future murders. Enthralled in a new love and haunted by a love and a betrayal from her past she is stalked by the man who killed her mother and now wants to kill her.

You should have stayed away Peyton, now I must kill you before you remember who I am.

PROLOGUE

The phone was already ringing when she got out of the truck.

"Where is she?"

"She's at our special place Peyton. I have proved that I can get to her and to you Peyton. Leave Chesterwood or you die next." He hung up.

Peyton's mind was racing. Special place? Where is she?

"Oh God." Peyton jumped into the truck and floored it. She knew where she was. With her heart beating out of her chest, Peyton followed the back roads around the lake and turned onto the path that lead up behind her house and passed the Buford's barn to the place where she watched the murder of her mother.

She pulled to the side, locked up the breaks, jumped from the truck and ran across the walking bridge. "Can you hear me?" She screamed in all directions with her heart racing, ears ringing and sweat pouring down her back, "Where are you?" You son of a bitch where is she? Was I wrong about the place?

"Honey call out if you can hear me!"

Peyton heard a noise behind her, but as she turned she was struck from behind and the world went dark.
