Chapter: 34

Alice sounds like her usual self. She bounces into the room and looks at all of us, but then I watch as she changes right before my eyes.

"No, it was a dream—she's fine. They did not take her. It was a dream! Tell me, Mom; please tell me it was a dream!"

Esme shakes her head, trying hard not to cry again.

"No please!" Alice sinks to the floor. "It was my fault—it is all my fault. She said that she thought someone had been following her. She said saw a black van and the same guy several times over the past week."


A/N: Alice will at least be able to tell the cops something it sounds like.
