User:Mafe159/Draft of The Body of Christopher Creed

Plot summary
Victor faces the challenge of discovering the truth about a boon named Bo Richardson and his friend, Ali McDermott. He avoids telling the truth about a call made to Sylvia Creed, which went from lying to extortion, deals with the rumors of him and Ali sleeping together, and confronts the fear that his mother will find out he made the call. Victor also struggles with not knowing how to deal with the information found in Chris Creed's diary, which was sent to Ali from Bo, through Mrs. Adams, without her knowing what the notebook was.

Ali and Torey decide they want to go to the woods to see if they can find Chris Creed's body. They find a map made years before, and immediately recognize the handwriting on it as Chris's. When Torey gets home, he sleeps for a while, then receives a call from his best friend Alex Arrington, asking him to meet up at seven o'clock. When they meet behind Torey's house, Alex indirectly accuses Torey of being an accessory to Chris Creed's alleged murder. When they finish arguing with each other and with Renee over the phone, Torey heads into the dark woods. When Torey opens his eyes, he sees an Indian Spirit that he remembers from his childhood. Torey follows it, and ends up in an old Indian burial ground. At the burial ground, Torey breaks his leg when a big rock falls on it. Torey crawls into the Indian graves, seeing how neat and carefully wrapped they are, when he spots a human body that isn't wrapped up like the others. When he gets closer, he immediately thinks it is Christopher. Out of nowhere, air rushes through the space where Torey had crawled in and the corpse starts peeling apart. Torey is traumatized. Since he can't stand the Steepleton gossip, he moves away for his senior year but is still emotionally disturbed.
