Chapter 1: Flashback
A little girl ran towards a tall, redheaded man. "Uncle Horatio!" the little girl called. The redheaded man turned. "Don't leave me." the toddler cried, tears streaking down her small cheeks. Her white hair buffeted around her, her big, light, piercing purple eyes watery and sad. Her tiny hands hung on to his black suit.
"You don't have to go. I…I can keep your secret." Though the toddler was no more than 2 years old, she could speak perfect English. "You kept mine." She whispered, trying desperately to wipe the tears out of her eyes.
"I can no longer stay. Work calls me." Horatio whispered, bending down to the toddlers height. "Charlet, oh Charlet." He whispered to her. The toddler shook her head.
"That's not my name." she stated bluntly. "My name is Sorpha."
Horatio nodded, then got up, got into his police hummer, and left.
The clouds seemed to grow darker with the child's cries, her voice piercing the clouds and the rain that had begun to drizzle. Water swooshed at the toddler's ankles, and it built up, almost drowning her…literally.
***************
A young woman woke up, breathing hard, holding her head. "My god…" she whispered. The dream hadn't left her.
Pounding….the rain is pounding….Horatio, no…my child…she needs you.
These words ran through the woman's head as she hoisted herself up and off the bed. Today she was heading out to meet someone that she'd been needing to see. The dreams wouldn't stop unless she did.
The young woman, most likely in her mid teens, got up, her long, honey colored hair falling down her back, her striking purple eyes searching as she looked around, finally finding a black t-shirt and some dark skinny jeans. After getting dressed, she got up and walked towards the doors, grabbing a pair of keys before heading out.
****************
The receptionist looked up to see a teen standing in front of her. "Oh, hello, how can I help you?" the woman asked, looking confused as rarely did the office ever receive such young visitors.
The teen brushed her long bangs out of her eyes. "I need to see Horatio, now." She ordered. The woman looked surprised.
"I'm right here." a voice murmured. The teen spun around, seeing the redheaded man she had met so long ago.
As soon as he saw her face, Horatio stumbled. The girl laughed darkly. "Rarely does anyone catch you stumbling, Mr. Caine." she snarled viciously. Horatio seemed to be taken back.
"Oh, so you don't remember me? Or do you? Do I look like my mother? Maybe she rings a bell." The girl continued, obviously angry.
"Charlet." Horatio finally managed. Again, the teen laughed her dark, evil sounding laugh. "I thought I told you years ago. My name ain't Charlet. It's Sorpha."
