Chapter 2: A Uniform
Mia
My phone beeped the next day. I switched to camera mode and could see my zord a little away from Madilynn and her hair was straight, with a black headband. She was wearing a black and red plaid skirt and a black sweater. Under the sweater it looked like a shirt. A white collar and a tie underneath. A red and black plaid tie. But it was all connected. It was a dress. All the girls were wearing that….
A uniform….
She was talking to another girl. She seemed slightly happy. She was hold books against her chest.
The girl she was talking to had the same outfit but was in a ponytail, not a headband.
"What did they do to you Emily?" I muttered.
She always hated trying to be like everyone else, she wanted to fit in, but she wanted to be her own person….
But now, she was in a uniform. She was standing in a uniform, something she forever refused to wear.
What did they do to my little sister?
I sighed. I miss her so much.
I called Jayden.
"Jayden, do you have that red sports car still from when Ji gave it to you?" I asked.
"Yeah, why? Mia, if this is about Emily, it's not her…." He said.
"It's her Jayden. I thought of all people, you wouldn't be the one to lose hope that Emily was out there, waiting for us-" He cut me off.
"I do Mia, but not everyone we see or hear is Emily…" He sighed.
"I know Emily, she is out there, waiting for us to find her. And that is her. She needs our help Jayden…." I begged.
"Emily is probably dead, the authorities will handle it if something turns up…." He said.
"Jayden, we didn't even report her missing. The last time we saw her, she was hit with a sword and brought into the woods by a mooger, we didn't notice, then she screamed and Xandred smiled. He said that it would be easier because she was gone. The mooger returned and we let out all of our anger at the mooger and Xandred. Mike ran into the woods and searched but didn't see her. We told her family that she may be dead…we held our own funeral for her. We didn't report her missing. What will the authorities do? They don't know she may be a missing person." I said.
"She's dead Mia. She will always be that way because once you die, you're gone! Goodbye Mia." He said and hung up.
I really am alone on this mission to prove that is Emily.
I walked to the school. It was down the street from my house, I can't believe I haven't looked here….
Emily was still talking to the girl. They looked nothing alike but acted similar.
"Madilynn, we should head to class…." The other girl muttered.
"I hate this whole buddy system. I just want to be alone!" Madilynn snapped.
"I don't mind it, they paired us up because we're similar in some ways, it's a way to end bullying or something…." The other girl said.
"If anyone was the bully it'd be me. I hate this school! I wish the school would just disappear!" Madilynn screamed.
Her friend sighed….
"Okay, let's just get inside…." She continued.
"Madilynn! Wait!" I shouted running to them. They both looked at me.
"What, so now you're stalking me!" She snapped.
"No Madilynn, I would never want to hurt you." I said. She grunted.
"Madilynn…" Her friend warned.
"Let me tell you something, it isn't a smart move to stalk me. If you continue something bad will happen….something horrible to you." Madilynn said sort of in a scary tone.
Madilynn backed away from me slowly.
"Sorry about Madilynn, she isn't as tough as she seems. She just has to protect herself because no one will. Her parents love her….but…" She said.
"But what?" I asked. She sighed.
"But they're not her real parents. She's adopted…..once she found out she was adopted she pushed them away. She stays guarded at all times. She is depressed because adopted means you were given up, and being given up means that your parents didn't want you, well in her mind it is." She said.
But her parents did want her….
"How long have you known Madilynn?" I asked.
"Maybe 1 and ½ years? We were paired together when we switched to this school….She pushed me away when we first met, saying that she was a reject and no one wanted her, that I didn't have to fake to like her…I convinced her that I did like her, that I did care about her, but she…..she refused. She still has problems with me but we get along better." She said.
About 6 months after since Emily has gone missing…So far she doesn't have an alibi.
"I gotta go to class. Bye." She said.
"Wait! What's your name!" I asked.
She smiled as she turned around.
"Lori, Lorielle (Lore-E-Ell) is full, call me Lori!" She said.
"My name's Mia!" I shouted, she then walked into the school, like she was engulfed by the mass or students and doors….
Hmm, I think Mia is getting some answers…..
