The House on The Hill by Elizabeth Laird: Part One.
It was a beautiful summer evening. Paul was happy. No more exams. College was finished now. He needed a job. He wanted to be a writer, and worked for a newspaper. But first, he needed a rest.
It was hot in the house. There was no wind. I’ll go for a walk, said Paul to himself. I’ll go down to the river. Paul lived in a small town and he was soon outside in the country. He walked near the river and watched the water birds.
Suddenly he saw the girl. She was standing alone looking into the water. She was young and very beautiful. She had long dark hair and she was wearing a pretty white dress.
