Chapter 2

Emily

I walked down stairs the next morning. Why did mom seem so scared of me seeing about the missing child. Why? Why oh- okay no need to get poetic.

"Good morning Allyson." My mom greeted. I yawned. (Wow…I just typed that and yawned after I pushed period….. Coincidence?)

"Good morning mom. I am going over to Julia's today. Julia and I are meeting tonight. Can she stay for dinner?" I asked.

"Umm…maybe." She replied. I nodded and took a bite of my toast.

Later that day

"Hello Julia, Kathrine." My mom greeted Julia and her mom. Julia smiled and ran to me.

We hugged.

"Hi Ally!"

"Julie!" I shouted.

We played all night and then we ate dinner. The next morning is school.

I went upstairs and went to bed.

The next morning

Still no sign of dad. Mom seems a lot more happier with just us in the house. She smiles when I smile. She acts like a real mom. Maybe because she is. My question is where is dad?

I woke up and threw on my yellow floral dress with a black sweater. I grabbed my high heels (like little girl ones) and went to do my hair. I put my hair into headband hair braid. I looked at my dark hair in the mirror and smiled.

I went downstairs and ate breakfast. I flipped the TV on to the news. My mom was out. She never let me watch the news but I need the weather!

"A new finding in the Emily Kate Anderson case. It is believed that Emily is still alive. She is still a missing child who went missing 6 years ago and is currently 8. She has bright blonde hair and blue eyes. A few days before that a child has went missing. His name was Danny Hollers. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He should be about 10 years old. His twin brothers remains were found this weekend. He was identified as Alex Hollers. Danny has not been found. Emily has not been seen…In other news have you seen this man?"-It showed a picture of my daddy!-"He was supposed to play a game of golf with his brother last weekend and hasn't answered his phone." So I am down to a few things:

-My daddy is missing.

-Emily is still missing.

-My mom lied.

-and most importantly, Danny is missing and his brother is dead.

Just great.
