Unexplained Questions

There were police cars everywhere, and Helia was called home from his temporary job. He was comforting Flora on the couch, while the police were searching the rest of the house.

"What happened?" He asked Flora while rocking her back and forth on the couch.

"I just found all the bones, I don't know why they were there," Flora kept brushing her fingers of the dead people's ashes.

"Do you think this place used to be an orphanage?" He asked.

"I hadn't thought of that, maybe..."

"Well maybe you can find out about on, I don't know, the internet?" Helia rarely used a computer, "I have a work laptop you can use,"

"Thanks..." Helia passed it to her, and Flora googled the address of their new house. There was a history information page on it. Their hearts were pounding as they read it. 147 Cemetron Drive was previously an Orphanage, It was called Cemetron Hostal. It was abandoned by the owner, police searched the entire building, but their was no sign of the children who had once lived there. There were twelve of them. The cops were outstanded by the fact the twelve children could go missing without a trace. There were few staff, the head was called Anzia, the cook called Brunela, and the staff member who took her time looking after all of the children was called Cienna. Cienna had a child who also attended the Oprphanage called Galilia. Galilia died tragically but no-one knows how. Cienna disappeared ever sice then, followed by the rest of the children. The head and the cook abandoned the orphanage purely because of nerves, they believed there was a deamon who had taken everyone else.

Flora looked back at Helia who was still gawping at the screen.

"I arranged the party for tomorrow," Flora tried her best to change the subject. Helia was staring at the screen, then looking round.

"People may have been murdered in this house," He said finally.

"I know... Lets get the party preparations ready," Flora tried again, Helia followed her to the kitchen.

The next day, Flora was getting ready for the party. She had a knee length pink dress on. Carissa was in her room, looking out the window.

"Are you coming down to see your friends?" Flora asked her.

"In a minute, mom, do you want to come and see Galilia's little house?"

"What?" Flora kneeled beside her, "I thought you were going to give this imaginary friend nonsense a rest?" Flora started to speak rather firmly.

"I told you, they're not imaginary,"

"Carissa, quiet," Flora was getting quite angry.

"I said quiet!" Flora was now yelling. Carissa looked extremely verbally wounded. Flora covered her mouth, "Come down to the party," Flora walked out of Carissa's room.

Downstairs, there were people laughing and chatting. There were children running around. Flora felt a feeling of guilt sweep upon her. She had another headache coming on.

"Hey! Flora!" Flora saw three girls running up to her. It was Musa, Layla, and Stella.

"Girls!" Flora hugged them all, "I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know! Hey, great party by the way! You and Helia have a lot of cute relatives!" Stella winked.

"These are the people we get our looks from!" Flora returned the wink. She caught sight of Helia, laughing with the other guys, "One sec..." Flora walked up to Helia and tapped him on the arm. He turned around, "Helia, I need to talk to you for a minute,"

"Sure, babe," He smiled.

"Hey Flora, haven't seen you in a while," Nabu, Riven, and Brandon smiled. Flora nodded at them and took Helia off.

"Helia... I had a slight argument with Carissa..."

"What?" Helia said with quite a confused expression.

"I kind of... Yelled at her..." Flora could feel tears building up again.

"Flora, you get worried for the most harmless things,"

Their friends were watching from a distance.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Stella hugged Brandon.

"I don't know, but probably something arousing," Brandon smiled.

"Err, what makes you say that?" Musa raised her eyebrows.

"If you haven't realised, they're kind of making out!" Riven smirked.

Helia had his arms around Flora and they were kissing passionately. They pulled away from eachother and smiled.

"I'm sure Carissa's okay," He said before kissing her again.

"I'd better go check on her... To make sure she's okay..." Flora kissed Helia quickly on the lips then walked back upstairs. Helia walked towards the rest of his friends.

"Oh, la, la! Helia, seems like you've been getting a lot lately," Brandon winked. Helia smriked.

"We had an argument a couple of days ago, but we made up pretty quickly," He smiled.

Flora was searching for Carissa.

"Carissa! Carissa! CARISSA!" She couldn't find her anywhere. She searched in every bedroom, in every cuboard, and in every corner. She ran back downstairs and out the door. Helia caught sight of her and followed her.

"CARISSA!!" Flora ran out the drve and down the road.

"Flora! Wait!" Helia yelled after her. Flora ran all the way to the beach, she trpped in a rock and swore she saw something in a cave. She stood back up and ran towards it. Nothing was there, apart from small footprints. She yelled for Carissa again. The only sound was the whistling of the sea. Flora collapsed, crying. Helia emerged and panted with his hands on his knees. Then saw Flora and ran to her side.

"She's gone! She's missing! All because of me!" Flora yelled into Helia's chest.

"We're going to find her!" Helia held Flora tightly.
