It was a couple of days later and Kisaiya was back at school. It had been announced that there had been a body found and they were looking for witnesses. The name had not been announced as they didn't want too much getting out until they followed some leads. Kisaiya was planning on keeping it a secret that it was her mother.
Chloe had moved back in with Cameron and Nikki and was still going to her counselling meetings. Ange was relieved with this and she noticed a change in Chloe. She knew that it wouldn't just disappear, but this was definitely an improvement.
Kisaiya arrived at school and Mia came over to her. Mia was two years above Kisaiya but they still got on really well. They had messaged each other recently and Mia knew that something was up with Kisaiya and wanted to know.
"What's up?" Mia asked as the girl had said that she couldn't text her what was going on.
"Come over here" Kisaiya said pulling the girl away from her friend group.
"You really can't tell anyone about this. It's really hush hush" Kisaiya said and Mia nodded.
"I promise I won't tell anyone" Mia promised.
"You know the body that was found" Kisaiya asked and Mia nodded.
"It was my mum's" Kisaiya admitted.
"I'm so sorry" Mia said.
"It's fine. Well it's not but I'm managing" Kisaiya said and Mia pulled the girl into her arms.
"Text me if you need anything" Mia said and Kisaiya nodded. They spoke for a bit longer before they headed back to their friends' groups. Kisaiya found it hard to listen to her friend's speaking when all she could think about was her mum. Ange had made her go to school today as she didn't want her being anxious about going back on Monday and it was only one day. She just needed to get it over with and then it was the weekend.
Kisaiya managed the day very well. It was challenging especially when she got bored in lessons and her mind would move onto her mum. She had been told to walk to the hospital tonight and Ange would ensure that she finished on time.
The end of day bell rang and Kisaiya started the walk to the hospital. It wasn't too far but it was further than going to Ange's house. She also could go through the path. At the end of the path, Ange's house was on the right and she would turn left to carry on to the hospital. She debated going the long way to the hospital but she wanted to get to Ange as quickly as she could.
Kisaiya arrived at the start of the path and took a deep breath, she powerwalked through the path and got to an area where she was sure she saw movement from in the trees. She started panicking and could feel her heart racing. She saw movement from a man and jumped. She couldn't see anything as he had a hoodie up but it was clear he was trying not to be noticed.
Kisaiya quickened her step until she broke into a run and ran all the way to the hospital. She got into the lift and started pressing the button for YAU/AAU wanting to get there as quickly as she could. Doctor Dunn just so happened to get in the lift at the same time and looked at the girl with wide eyes. He knew who she was.
"Are you okay?" Cameron asked
"I need Ange" Kisaiya managed to say. Cameron nodded but didn't do anything else.
"Try and breathe normally" He said unsure what to do or say. The lift doors opened and Kisaiya ran out. Her eyesight was now blurry, but she quickly spotted her aunt's light brown hair and went running into her arms.
"Hey what is it?" Ange asked as she collected her daughter into her arms and tried to calm her down. She could feel the girl's heart and knew she was having a panic attack.
"I need you to calm down for me Kisa" Ange said as she stepped away from the girl slightly but kept her hands in her own.
"Sweetie, look at me" Ange said kneeling slightly to her niece's height.
"Copy me" Ange said as she did a breathing technique with the girl and Kisaiya was able to calm down.
"Shall we go and talk?" Ange asked as she guided the girl to her office.
"What happened?" Ange asked.
"I walked through the path and then I saw a guy and he was hiding but it was so close to where my mum was found and I just panicked" Kisaiya explained and Ange nodded.
"Were the police around to speak to this guy?" Ange asked and Kisaiya shook her head. This did worry Ange as it was very uncommon to see someone walking off the path through the woods.
"We need to phone the police" Ange explained.
"Mum, what if he kills me next?" Kisaiya asked bursting into tears again.
"That's not going to happy baby and I will be there to ensure that" Ange said and Kisaiya nodded.
"Come on baby" Ange said "You can trust me right?"
Kisaiya nodded and leant into her mother. She loved being in Ange's arms.
Ange disappeared and called the police station. Officer Henry was off today but they were told to go down. Ange finished her shift early and they headed to the station.
"I will be speaking to you alone" This stern faced officer said as he glared at Kisaiya.
"No, my aunt is coming with me" Kisaiya said confidently.
"You can do this alone" He said.
"She actually can't as she is only 12" Ange stepped in. She was not going to have her daughter upset.
"Do you have an ID of her age?" He asked and Ange sighed. She knew that Kisaiya did look a lot older than 12 but surely he would already have the information. Ange sighed and found the girl's passport in her bag.
"Why do you have that there?" Kisaiya said worrying "It could have been stolen"
"Well it got delivered to my work 3 days ago as you previously didn't have one" Ange pointed out and Kisaiya just shrugged. Once the officer was happy with Kisaiya's age. He took them into the room and Kisaiya explained what she saw. The officer was very difficult and made out like it was nothing and absolutely no reason for them to have come to the station.
"Don't take this out on Kisaiya. Officer Henry said that if she saw anything suspicious that she was to come in and say and it was me who told her to come on so take it out on me, not her" Ange said. She had just about had enough of the officer. They quickly finished before heading back home.
Kisaiya instantly curled up with her aunt and after a quick dinner they headed to bed to watch a film. Ange knew that the girl would finish up in her bed and she was tired but wouldn't be happy about going to bed at 9 on a Friday. However, only half an hour into the film. Kisaiya was sleeping.
Sorry it's just a bit of a filler chapter. Let me know what you think though!
