Chapter 4: Shattered hopes
Holly didn't go to school today. There was no point.
Nobody has returned home yet- it's been 2 days. She wasn't ready to go to school and face all the questions from her peers about her cousin… she didn't even know where he was.
It was best to stay and do her usual chores.
She still slept in her cupboard. She still felt extremely guilty about Dudley. She still cleaned around the house.
On a pure whim while she was dusting, she murmured in hope that her cousin was alright.
That's when the power went off.
Something was definitely wrong.
