Hey everybody… I got the idea last night. Hope you like it…. Please review !
Chapter 1:
Mary rushed down the hallway, the letter she had just found, still in her hand. Anna, who had opened Sybill's door for her was right behind her. Withoug knocking she opened the bedroom door and ran to her sistre's bed, shaking her should with one and and covering Edith's mouth with the other, when her sister woke so she would not scream in shock.
„MARY… what happened?", Edith said after she had identified her sister.
„Edith we have quite a problem to deal with…. it's Sybill, she ran away with the chauffeuer.", Mary explained.
„No way, Sybill would never do such a thing. She knows how upset Mama and Papa would be."
„Read this", Mary whispered and handed over the letter she had found in Sybill's room.
Edith took the letter, gasped and gripped the paper in her hands harder while reading it.
„O god… Papa will kill Branson if he finds out!", Edith said. „We have to look for her before our parents find out!"
„And Mama will probably die out of worry… after all Syibil is the youngest…", Mary pointed out.
„Excuse me but we should hurry on, if we want to find them and bring them back before anyone else notices!", Anna who had entered the room behind Mary but stood quiet at the door, observing the normally rivaling sisters pulling a tone string now.
„Anna you want to come with us… are you sure? I can try to keep you out of trouble if this comes out but I am not sure i fit works!", Mary said.
„We both will try…", Edith squizzing Mary's arm. Then she got up and put on a dress hastingly. Anna was at her side to help her.
„ I am going to get some money and clothes", Mary said and as she saw the questioning faces from Anna and Edith, she continued: „I hope we won't need it and that we will catch them in the village or in town waitign for the train…. However it could be we have to travel to Liverpool to get her back.
Anna opened the mouth to say something but Mary cut her off: „You still want to come with us? I will pay for your ticket and all…"
„Thank you milady. So i have to get some clothes too… Wait for me please.", Anna said and ran out oft he room.
„So….", Edith said „should we write another letter to Mama and Papa`?"
„ I am not sure…maybe we should not. After I stille hope we find Sybill and Branson tonight and bring them home…the letter could reveal what we were up to… And then we would be in big trouble, all 5 of us I suppose."
„True, so let's hope you are right!", Edith said while packing some clohtes.
Anna looked into the room and nodded. Then all three of them hurried out the back door as silent as possible.
„Let's take the second car", Edith said and hurried tot he garage. Then she opened the door silently and sat behind the wheel.
Both Mary and Anna looked surprised but didn't say anything and just got into the car. Then the drove off.
„If I may ask… What are our plans if we don't find them? They might have taken the evening train to London then.", Anna asked concerned from the back seat.
„Well I guess we should sleep in the car then and fetch the train early in the morning….", Mary smiled.
„To be honest Milady, I am really worried. Your parents are great employees but I am sure they will be angry with all of us when we get back…. They surely cannot fire you since you are their daughters…"
„Don't worry we will tell them we forced you or some stuff…. The only one who has to worry about his job and his life is Branson, i suppose.", Mary explained with a a grin. However Anna was not nearly as sure as Mary about that.
They searched fort he other car in the whole village, especially in front of the pubs and boarding houses but there was neither a sign of the car nore of Sybill and Branson.
„Oh…. if Father don't kill her, I certainly will", Mary said angrily
„You know sister I guess I will help you for once", Edith expressed frustrated when finally she stopped in front of the station.
Neither of them had really believed till now that they would travel on to London and then Liverpool. However, none of them thought of turning around and face their parent's desperation when they found out Sybill had gone. They were determined to bring their younger sister back. With or without the chauffeur.
