It was their first meeting that set things in motion. Little did their fathers know that when they introduced Scarlett Lowe to Lachlan Drake that their lives would change
forever. Mostly 12 years from that exact date when they were gathered just like today for a wedding, but that's a different story. After the introduction, John Lowe
sighed, there was no way to get Scarlett out of here now. He was dragged along by Claudia Banks and the two children were left to talk.
"So how old are you?" Scarlett asked her new friend.
"Nine" He said,
"And you?"
"I just turned ten." She said happily.
As they walked to they're seats Scarlett asked,
"So what goes on at a fashion show?"
"Not much, people just walk wearing what my dad designed and then walk back, it's quite boring." Lachlan said.
"OH" She said as they stopped by the food table.
Lachlan sighed, his father purposely put out healthy food so he would not ruin his dinner.
"Nothing good?" Scarlett asked surprised.
"Nope, it's dads trick so I do not ruin my appetite for dinner, it really stinks." He added grabbing a few celery sticks.
After sitting down and watching five minutes of the show both children grew board.
"Come on" Lachlan whispered.
They were vary careful to sneak out so that Scarlett's father would not notice. They ran two the side and then walked normally acting like adults till they got to the
stairs. Once their, they both giggled and raced down the stairs. When down, Lachlan made Scarlett swear not to tell anyone what she was about to see. They went in to
what looked to be an old swimming pool.
"Cool" Scarlett said.
"Are you guys going to fill it?"
"No" Lachlan said, and heres why."
When they got to the deepest part of the pool they saw four glass coffins. Both of them explored them a bit. Their looked to be four kids in the coffins. Three boys and
one girl. Two of them look to be around Scarlett and Lachlan's age.
"Dose your dad know about this?" Scarlett asked.
"Nope" Lochlin said,
Suddenly Scarlett stopped and stared at one of the coffins.
"Holden" She whispered.
"Who's Holden?" Lachlan asked.
"My brother, but he was kidnapped five years ago."
"Then how is he here?" Lachlan asked.
"I don't know" Scarlett said.
Suddenly Holden opened his eyes.
When the two live children saw this, they screamed and raced through the door and halfway up the stairs. When there, they began panting. Just when they caught their
breath a women came up behind them,
"HEY YOU!" She yelled.
The children recognized her as the woman who could not get into the fation show earlier that day.
"What are you two doing here?" She said taking a puff of her cigarette. She then smiled and her teeth began to fall out while she was laughing.
"AHHHHHH"
The children shouted again and raced up the stairs. This time they did not stop. The fation show was still going on but Lochin and Scarlett didn't care. After all, this was
life or death.
"DAD" Scarlett yelled cutting through the isle and right into her father's arms.
Lachlan, taking the stairs up, quickly found his own father and flew into his arms.
"Lachlan?" Will Drake said a bit annoyed.
He stopped when he noticed his son shaking. It was at then end of the show, when everything was calm again that the children, along with their fathers whom they did
not dare let go of, met up.
"What on earth has gotten into you guys?" Will asked.
"Sorry we ruined your show." Scarlett said hiding behind her father.
"What made you so scared Scar?" Her father asked.
Lachlan looked down and began to cry, "You would not believe us if we told you." He said.
"Scar?" John questioned again,
"We saw a women, the same women who couldn't get into the show. She smiled at us and her teeth fell out." She tried to explain.
Lachlan nodded in agreement.
"Lachlan that's probably just a trick. No need to be so scared son." Will Drake said giving him a hug.
"If you were their you would be." Scarlett said.
"Now now, no more of this, lets go home, say goodbye Scarlett." John said.
She waived goodbye helplessly to her friend as she was herded away.
"I am sorry dad." Lachlan said crying a bit more.
"No need to be, what's done is done." Will said to his son and Lachlan was herded up to his new house.
