CHAPTER 2
DDD
On the bed side table was a vase of bright yellow daffodils beside a photo album. Pepito picked up the book and flipped to a random page. He was met with a smiling young girl with blond hair and deep blue eyes. He turned the page to find another picture of the girl, but she was on a swing in a pale pink dress and sun hat, and behind her was, his mother. Pepito stared at the picture for a few seconds before flipping a few pages. In this one she had darker hair, almost brown, and she was holding a baby. Wait, that's MY baby blanket… I had a sister? He tried to remember her name but his memories were more like forgotten dreams, lost within his own mind. Infuriated, he threw the book against the wall.
"Honey, are you alright?" called his mother from the kitchen on the first floor. "Yeah! Just dropped something!" answered Pepito while hurrying to retrieve the book. As he picked up said object and examined the page absent-mindedly. It was a drawing of his mother. It was very well done, inked, colored and signed. Pepito did a double take of the signature in the bottom right hand corner of the page. Dannika Dementia Diablo.
Pepito put the photo album back on the table before going back to his room. He was sure he heard that name before at school, but could have been mistaken for another spooky mutter of 'dooooom' he turned on his computer to do what any intelligent person would do… google it.
