September, 1946
I quickly closed the door on the brightly flashing lights. I didn't know how they found us but they did and they would be back and we couldn't be here when they were. I growled under my breath, "The last thing I need to deal with right now are human police". I backed up from the window and silently ran back to the room. I opened and shut the door as fast as possible to avoid any sound reaching the humans' ears. I took a deep breath and turned to look at her.
Her short dark hair covered in sweat and sticking to her face as it contorted in agony. Her screams shaking her small frame as she used all the power her lungs had. It was such a horrible and heartbreaking image that I never thought I would see anything more disturbing for the rest of my existence. I was wrong. What I saw was an empty bed. Without thinking I launched myself through the open window and into the woods behind the motel searching for her. I clung to the trail like it was a lifeline until it ended at the river. My heart sunk and I cried out in desperation though I knew right then that I would never see my sister again.
"ALICE!"
