What Happened To Julia Miller?

As The Winds Howl, As The Ashes Blow

Eliza and her friends have planned their trip to Mayfield Branch the whole school year after hearing stories about Julia Miller's death. The four teens were obsessed with murders and mysteries, and although they were only seventeen, they were brave and rebellious. The date was set from day one, but were the prepared?

"Everyone ready to go?" Eliza met all her friends at Dakota's car. "I've packed the food, Leighla has the camera, Jonathan has everything else we need. So yeah, we have everything we need." Dakota grinned. "Alright, are you guys excited? I mean I am." Jonathan opened the door for his girlfriend, Leighla. "Of course we are!" Everyone shouted back at him before they all got in to leave.

"So, according to our map, we're only two miles away from Mayfield Branch and five miles from wherew we want to be." Eliza pointed out as she looked at her map. "Good, and its still only Seven in the evening." Jonathan smirked. Leighla rolled her eyes as she watched out the window. "It's fascinating." She mumbled. "Huh?" Jonathan looked at her. "This whole place is fascinating." She looked back at him. "Oh- yes, it is." Jon chuckled softly. "Yeah, and it'll-" Dakota started before hearing a scream. "DAKOTA! WATCH OUT!!" Eliza pulled the steering wheel, causing them to go into a ditch. 

"ELIZA! WHAT THE HELL?!" Dakota snapped as the car crashed. "Did you not see her?!" Eliza screeched. "See who?" Jonathan looked toward the passenger. "That lady! She was standing in the street!" Eliza was shaking. They all looked behind them not seeing anything. "Babe... There's nothing there... Are you sure you're not just scared?" Dakota raised a brow. "That... Yeah, I'm probably just a little scared." She sighed. Dakota nodded then laughed. "You better be glad my Jeep can get us out of this ditch." "Yeah, now let's just get going." Eliza huffed.

"So we're here in Mayfield Branch, its late in the evening and we already have camp set up with our lovely ladies. Why are we in Mayfield Branch you ask? Well, we are here to document Julia Miller's death and if the rumors are true! This is going to be recording through the whole time we are here, every move, sound, anything- all raw, un-cut, film! Hope you enjoy!" Jonathan spoke into the camera he was setting up. He got it mounted to a tree, also having live feed from his cap camera. 

"Do we really need to be filmed, Jonny?" Leighla raised a brow. "Yes Leighla, we do, now let's get to bed." Jon kissed her head. "We'll go on the hunt at about four-thirty in the morning, we all need our rest~" Dakota smiled. "Alright, whatever. I still think we are waisting our time on this trip." Leighla rolled her eyes. "I don't." Eliza climbed into the tent she and Dakota share. "We will find out tomorrow then, won't we?" Leighla smirked as she and Jon got in their tent. "Just get to bed you two." Dakota laughed as he zipped he and Eliza's tent. "Goodnight, I love you." Dakota kissed Eliza's forehead before they fell asleep.

"Jonathan, stop..." Leighla whined sleepily as she felt lips against her neck. "Follow me~" He whispered. "Where are we going?" She asked. "Just follow me." He grabbed her hand, pulling her up. "Jon... Okay-" She groaned throwing her jacket over her shoulders, following him out. 

1:10AM July 19th, 2016

"Hey babe, are you up? Did I wake you?" Jonathan opened the tent. "Leighla?!" Jonathan patted the place where she was. "DAKOTA! ELIZA! LEIGHLA ISN'T HERE!" Jonathan shouted. "What do you mean she's not here??" Eliza and Dakota met him outside the tents. "She's gone! She disappeared! I was using the bathroom and I come back, she's gone!" He panicked. "She probably-" Eliza started to speak before hearing a scream through the summer nights wind. "Leighla?!" Jonathan screamed as they all went running toward the sound. "Jonathan! No!" Eliza shouted hearing a second scream. Jonathan was running right into a trap and she knew it. She fumbled for her phones flashlight wanting to show him. 

"Leighla!" Eliza made a blood curdling scream seeing a mangled body in front of her. She looked around her and seen that the boys had disappeared too. "Jonathan! Dakota! SHE'S DEAD!" Eliza cried. "So are you~" a male voice startled her. Eliza began to run quickly not paying attention to the killer. "Julia~ don't run from me!" The voice shouted. Eliza didn't say anything back, just kept running until there weren't any footsteps behind her. 

She took a deep breath before turning the light back on. "DAKOTA!" She cried as she stood in the blood of her boyfriend. Jonathan's laugh could be heard behind her.  "Its not funny!!" Eliza cried, holding her boyfriend in her arms. "Oh yeah, Julia, it is-" Jonathan chuckled. "What?" She shrieked. "C'mon Julia." Jonathan frowned. Eliza snickered softly. "I had you so fooled..." She grinned. "Yeah.. Now help me get these bodies hid in the house." Jonathan grunted, dragging Leighla's remains into the building. Eliza drug Dakota in before pouring gasoline on everything before setting it on fire. "Cmon baby! We've gotta go before the cops arrive. Whataya say we move to Samienta and then do it again next year?" Jonathan smirked. "Yeah, Brian... We should." She slipped a wedding ring on her finger. "Besides we need to kill to be young forever y'know." She smirked before throwing every shred of evidence into the burning structure. "What are we gonna call ourselves next?" He pecked her lips. "JoAnna and Dean~" she led him into the house. "Jump the bodies and possess someone else, how's that sound... I mean.. Their parents will look for them..." She looked at him. "Yeah, let's do it... " They both agreed before jumping their vessels.
