Chapter 2- Paces

Emily POV

Disclaimer: I do not own the Emily Windsnap Series


I stood in Millie's doorway. "Why?!" I wailed through tears. "Why would you do that to my Mother? You're sick." I said.

"And you say it like it's a bad thing, twerp." Millie smirked.

"That's because it is, you stupid, never-ending jerk!" I insulted.

Millie didn't say anything more, all she did was pace back and forth on her floor. I watched her feet. They were in a pattern. Left, right, right, left, back, back, straight, left, right, right. It's like a code to something. Was she tapping the way to Mom? "Excuse me, Millie. What are you tapping your feet to?" I wondered, even though she'd lie to me, like she has all these years.

"You know, I would tell you, but I'll let you guess from the three choices I give you." She replied.

I questioned myself to smack her in the face, which was not like me at all.

"A......" she started.

I bet she's going to say a song.

"A is: the Waltz dance steps."

Yeah, right.

"B....." she continued.

What's next?

"B is: I'm pacing back and forth with a significant pattern, so I don't get bored."

-scoff- how dumb do you think I am, Millie?!

"And finally, C....." she finalized.

And finally??? What????

"The coordinates to where your Mother is found." She finished with a bang.

"Um..." I stumbled. It's so easy, "C"!!! How could she make it that easy? "C?" I asked.

"Correct. Now you just have to figure out how long to go before each turn. Good luck." Left, right, right, left, back, back, straight, left, right, right. There it is again. "I don't get it Millie. Why? Why'd you make it so easy?"

"Oh, silly, silly, Emily. Who ever said it was easy?" With a turn of her heals, she went out of the house to the shore.

I just couldn't get it. I needed Dad's help. Aaron's as well. And even...dare I say it...-gulp- Mandy's help.

The next step was to search through Millie's belongings, to see what's hidden beneath, and to see if there were any clues. Dad is still gone, Aaron is in the castle, and I really don't want to swim right now...mainly because I'm hungry. And Mandy...well who knows where Mandy is?

"Emily, where's your Mom?!" Dad whimpered.

"Dad, when did you get here?" I asked.

"Just a couple minutes ago. I see Millie out there, but where's your Mom?"

"Dad, I hate to break it to you, but Millie kidnapped her and took her to a hideaway. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm one step closer."

Dad didn't say anything. But his expression on his face was paralized, he was pale, and his mouth read the words, Oh my God.
