Blythe was in the store feeding the pets when her dad came in the store.
"Hey Blythe, I just came to tell you that I have to work late today." Roger said.
"It's alright dad. " Blythe said. This was the third time this week that her dad worked late. She was a little sad that she didn't get to spend a lot of time with her dad but she knew that he had to work.
"Alright honey, enjoy the rest of your day." Roger said hugging his daughter and left. Blythe decided to pass time by doing a little cleaning while the pets ate. She was going to the kitchen when she tripped over a pair of her dad's shoes. She sighed and picked them up and put it in his room. She opened the closet and put them down. She was about to leave when she saw a box she had never seen before.
She opened it and the first thing she saw was a necklace that had a musical note on it. She picked it up and put it on. It looked really pretty and her dad wouldn't be mad if she kept it, right? She looked deeper into the box when she saw an album.
She opened it and saw her dad and some woman together. When she flipped the page she saw the same woman holding a little baby. When she looked closer she saw that she was wearing the necklace that she found in the box. Who was she? When she flipped the page again she saw her, her dad, and her as a baby. She took the picture out of the album and turned it around.
It had three names on it. Blythe, Roger and someone named Katie. She decided to ask her dad about it when he got home. She put everything back (except for the necklace and picture) and went to her room. She was on her computer doing a project for school when the dumbwaiter opened. Zoe and Pennyling got out and jumped on Blythe's bed.
"Hay Blythe, the other pets were wondering why you were taking so long. What were you doing?" Zoe said.
"Sorry, I was was going to clean but then I Found a box in my dad's room. It had pictures from when I was a baby and several pictures have a woman I've never seen before named Katie." Blythe pulled out the picture and showed it to them.
"She really looks like you Blythe, same color hair, same eyes, same necklace."Pennyling said.
"Actually I found this necklace in the box." Blythe said. "I wonder why dad never mentioned her."
"I'm sure he had a good reason. If it wasn't for a good reason then he wouldn't have kept it from you." Zoe said.
"Yea, I guess your right. I'll talk to him about it later. But for now we have to get you back down, it's almost time for your owners to come and pick you up." Blythe said picking them up and putting them in the dumbwaiter.
"Bye Blythe." They said before they headed down.
Blythe went back to her work and waited until her dad got home. She kept looking at the necklace, there was something about the necklace and she couldn't put her finger on it. She waited for a couple of hours until she herd the door opened. She went to the living room and went to her dad giving him a hug.
"Hay dad I was wondering if I could ask you something." Blythe said.
"Sure Honey, what do you want to talk about?" He asked.
"Do you know anyone named Katie?" Blythe asked. Roger's face suddenly looked mad and pained.
"Where did you hear that name?" He asked his voice cold and mad. Blythe hasn't seen her dad like this, ever.
"Well, I picked up a pair of your shoes and went to put them in your closet. But then I found a box filled with pictures and most of them had a woman named Katie." Blythe said. "Who is she?"
"It's no one important. I don't want you to mention this again, ever. You are going to forget what you saw and that's the end of it." Roger said. "Understand?"
Blythe was really scared now and just nodded. She left and went to her room. This person must have done something bad for her dad to act like that. She looked at her necklace again. 'i'm going to find out who she is one way or another' Blythe thought to herself before she drifted to sleep.
When Blythe woke up she got dressed. It was Saturday so she didn't have school. She went to the living room and saw a note on the table.
Have to work today, I'll be back by 8. I left you 50 in case you get hungry.
-Dad
Blythe decided to try and find out about Katie. She thought that maybe her dad kept something about her in his private cabinet. Luckily she knew where he hid the key and opened it. She started to look through a lot of papers until she pulled out a folder. When she opened it and saw her birth certificate. Name: Blythe, Dad: Roger, Mom: Katie.
Blythe stopped reading when she saw that part. "Katie is my...mom?"
