Need by Carrie Jones

Pain shoots through my head.
Fireworks. Explosions. All inside my brians.
The white world goes dark and I know what's about to happen.

This freaked Zara's mother who finally decided to send Zara away for her own good.Seondly, Zara was made to move from Charleston to Maine to live with her grandmother, Betty. Thirdly, Zara thinks that she is being stalked in Charleston. But she was certain that the maniac stalker had horrible things in mind when she saw the very same stalker in Maine.
