The Summary//
As junior, Angie Cavey, and seniors, Evelyn Yates and Nejaya Parom prepare for the upcoming school year at South Elroy High they meet the naive freshmen, Marcie Brose coming from a different state.

Though, Marcie thought the girls’ unselfish acts of warding off bullies and the other unseemly scum ruling South Elroy was just a simple act of heart, she discovers a deeper meaning in the phrase, “I love you to death.”

((If I read that summary on the back of a book, I'd buy it. :P))

Characters So Far//
Main Cast
Marcie Brose:: Freshman – Used to run track in her old school and a klutz.
Angeline (Angie) Cavey:: Junior – Probably the kindest
Nejaya Parom:: Senior – Loves the outdoors and very tough.
Evelyn (Evvie) Yates:: Senior – Perhaps the girliest and the biggest b**** in the group.

Secondary
Anthony (Art) Andrews:: Sophomore - Was a childhood friend of Nejaya and Evelyn, till they ‘got weird’.
Sera Andrews:: Freshman – Marcie’s real true friend. Anthony's sister.

and other people...

Plot So Far//
One summer, something physiological happened to Angie, Nejaya, and Evvie (I'm guessing maybe rape; something scarring.) and it changed their behavior, which broke friendships (I.e. with Art.). Rumors flew (still need to figure out that those are...) and they became a very close-knit and seclusive group. (ooh, the mystery!)

Then, one day: Marcie moves to the neighborhood. She's your naive, blissfully ignorant and innocent freshman. She meets Sera at orientation and Art, somewhere he works. But it's Angeline who she sticks with, because she has no choice. Angie whisks her away to her friends and they swallow Marcie up because they can tell she's adorably innocent.

Marcie learns of the rumors from Sera and how Art used to be really good friends with the three girls at one point. Things start to pick up... and it gets to the point the girls love Marcie soooooo much that they're willing to kill her to protect her.

HAH! :ph43r:

Thanks.

I'd love to write this story, but I have no idea how to go about it that will produce a story that equals the condensed version. Plus, I have no idea how to write suspensively. >_<

This idea is sort of old. But I've already come up with a prequel to Between Life and Death. XD It's called The Leash Keeper. The story starts in the 1980's and ends present day, overlapping Between Life and Death. I think it ends either before Marcie's murder or right after. I'm thinking after.

Characters

  • Robert Dannels - Last surviving member of his group of childhood friends. Moved away before Ethan could kill him as a child, totally oblivious to Ethan's intentions until the end, putting his son in danger.
  • Aaron Dannels - Robert's son, he's 9 or so. He hates visiting South Elroy, it sucks. For more reasons than he knows.
  • Ethan Hall - The Leash Keeper. Mentally f*cked up as a child. By his mother, I assume. He has secretly killed all his childhood friends in the time frame of eight years (from middle school to high school), excluding two: Nicole and Robert. Oh and he holds on to childhood grudges and feelings, which is why Nicole hasn't died yet. He's always had a crush on her.
  • Nicole Rogers - A childhood friend of Robert and Ethan's. She doesn't suspect Ethan at all, she sees him like a younger brother.
  • John Thomas and Kevin Nelson - Two other friends of Robert. They are the first in the group to die.
  • Lauren Dennels - Robert's wife, extremely minor character. She doesn't know about 'The Leash Keeper' at all. I think she only appears at the end, wanting to stay and live in Elroy because it looks quaint when Robert wants to get the hell out of town.
Marcie is a minor character, she babysits for Robert...

Plot So Far
The myth of the Leash Keeper starts in the 1980's. Robert's childhood group of friends: Ethan, Nicole, John and Kevin are tormented by school, bullies, teachers, ect. So they form a club/pact and elect Ethan as 'president' because he's the smartest to ward off the scum. This gives Ethan considerably power in the group and they look to him for what they should do. The bullies dub Ethan and the 'Leash Keeper' and make fun of them even more. One of the bullies dies. And everything is fine... For a while.

Robert eventually moves away, he meets Lauren and they have a son, Aaron. Robert doesn't come back to Elroy until his aunt needs his help, she's gotten to old to live by herself. He brings Aaron with him, leaving his wife back home because she works. Robert finds out what happens to his friends through Nicole: John and Kevin have died deaths which have been ruled as ordinary with slight peculiarities. Ethan has become sick and he rarely leaves his house, except to see Nicole. She thinks it's nothing, she's always been there for him. Ethan eventually kills her and now wants to kill Robert for a complete set. Somehow, he gets a hold of Aaron... through Marcie, as Robert was looking for Nicole maybe. And I will leave it there...

Pretty much South Elroy is not a safe town at all. Maybe it's demonic...

I doubt I'll ever write it. I haven't touched Between Life and Death either. :sigh:
