" Are you sure you're ready to play again?" Ella asks.
" Yes mom I'm ready for this!"
" Okay Byron and your brother and sister will meet us there." Ella says grabbing the keys.
Five minutes later Keyara was walking onto the feild with her team. They were all talking to each other the coach blew the whistle and yelled something at them. The next thing, the whole team was down and doing push ups. Fifty push ups later they did lunges around the whole feild. The other team doing there own warm up routines. A few minutes later the game started. The first half was good, there was the pushy and shoving, the second half was a totally different story. The guest team was tackling really hard. Getting running starts. Most of them were hitting Keyara and nobody else. Only a few were tackling the others like that. Two players from the guest had already gotten kicked out of the game.
Keyara hutted the ball to Kerrie, Keyara was Kerries cover. She had make sure Kerrie got atleast ten yard so they could hut it again. It would be perfect if Kerrie got a touchdown. That was what they were going for. Keyara was shoving everyone out of the way and making it impossible for someone to tackle Kerrie down. One girl got pissed off and ran full speed at Keyara jumped and tackled her down. Kerrie ran full speed and ended up with a touch down. The one chick was sitting on Keyara. The ref was yelling at her to get off Keyara but she wouldn't budge. Rosewoods coach and the coach from Philly pulled her of Keyara and the ref kicked her out of the game. Keyara got off the ground and chest bumped Kerrie, congradulating her on the touch down. Finally the gamr was over and Keyara got her stuff changed and met up with her family after it was done.
" Mom, Aubrey's coming over okay?" Keyara asks when she gets to her family.
" I was going to have Mike and Aria over for dinner..." Ella says.
" That's okay Aubrey likes them." Keyara says.
" Honey I think your moth-" Byron says before getting cut off by Ella.
" Aubrey can come over, I have no doubt Aria and Mike love Aubrey. She's such a nice girl."
" Thanks mom. Um Aubrey and I are going to hang out for the mall for a bit then come home. If we're not hom for dinner start with out us." Keyara replies.
Five hours later Keyara and Aubrey arrive at the house. Entering through the back door and into the kitchen. It was 9pm, Aria and Mike were already gone. Ella, from the sounds of it was having a shower. Keyara and Aubrey started to make chocolate chip cookies. They had spent most of their time at the mall buying all the ingredients for the best cookies ever. They bought smarties, m&m's, chocolate chips in butterscotch, peanutbutter, and regular flavours. They also bought cocao powder, chocolate milk, and vanilla. They began mixing all the ingredients into the mixing bowl. When the recipie called for milk they added in the chocolate milk. Half an hour later the cookies were done and Ella, Aubrey, and Keyara were eating them.
" These are the best cookies I've had!" Ella says finishing her fourth cookie.
" I know, they're so good!" Aubrey practically yells.
" Calm down Aubz." Keyara says laughing.
" Hehe m'kay!" Aubrey replies.
" Aubrey I love you but I think it's about time for you to go home. I'll see you at school tomorrow."
" I guess it is, since it's already almost ten now."
" Bye." Keyara says.
" Bye Key-Key, bye Ella."
" Bye Aubz."
" Bye Aubrey."
" Well mom, I'm going to have a shower then go to bed. See you in the morning." Keyara says heading upstairs.
" Okay sweetheart. See you tomorrow."
~ The Next Day at School ~
Keyara was wearing a loose white tanktop tucked into her tight short pink skirt. She had on a pair of cream high heels and had her hair in waves. She had biology first period. She met up with Chelsea, Aubrey, and Bridget then they headed to Biology. They took their seats just before their teacher got in.
" Keyara it's your lucky day. Do you know what that means?"
" Uh, no." Keyara replies.
" It means we finally got our lab coats in, and now you don't have to complain about getting goup on your clothes."
" Do we have any lab coats in pink?"
" Yes I specially ordered you, Chelsea, and Bridget ones."
" Really?"
" Yeah."
" You're not lying?"
" No, I got them the same time pigs learned to fly."
" But pigs don't fly."
" Exactly."
" So you didn't get pink lab coats?"
" No I did not. They are white."
" Can I dye mine pink?"
" Sure, but in your free time not now."
" Okay."
" So class we're disecting baby pigs today."
" A baby piggie?" Bridget asks.
" Yes, but before we start does anyone know what a baby pig is called?" Keyara raises her hand. " Yes Keyara."
" A baby pig is a piglet isn't it?"
" That is correct."
" And we're disecting them? That's terrible! How would you like it if I disected your baby?" Keyara asks.
" I would probably kill you if you disected Tyrone."
" See, it's terrible to disect babies!" " Okay you can disect an adult pig."
" Thank you."
" Yeah but you're going to have to carry it up here. It's in the basement, you know where you got the fish from earlier this semester."
" I need the keys then." " Here."
Keyara got up grabbed the lab coat that said K. Montgomery stitched on it then left the class. Her high heels echoing throughout the empty halls as she made her way to the dark and eery basement. Putting the key into the door that read science lab equipment and turning the doorhandle and pushes the door open. Leaving the key in the doorknob Keyara walks into the freezing cold room. She walks over to the back of the room and finds the adult pig. Just as she lifts it out of it's container and turns around Linnea, Byrons new girlfriend slams the door shut and takes the key.
Keyara dropped the pig and runs to the door she tries opening it but of course Linnea locked it. Keyara tries a new tactic, banging on the door and yelling for help. Of course nobody ever comes down here unless they have to so it was of no use. Keyara kicked the door getting angry with the fact that she left her cell phone in class. Keyara knowing Linnea knew that Linnea would have went up to the Bio class told Keyara's teacher that Keyara wasn't feeling good, hand him the keys and take Keyara's cell phone and books saying she would give them to Keyara.
Two hours later and Keyara was absolutly freezing. Laying on the cold hard ground, not a single person has come to the basement since she had came down looking for that stupid pig. Keyara was getting to mad at herself think about how if she just disected the damn piglet she wouldn't be locked in a freezer that smelt of disinfectant, dilutants, and dead things. Keyara wrapped the lab coat around herself, curled up on the floor and closed her eyes. Within a few minutes Keyara was asleep. It didn't seem like she was asleep for long before she woke up, still locked up in the freezer. Keyara remembered she never put the pig back into it's container, not that she cared anymore. She was too weak to pick it up anyway, hell she was too weak to sit up. Laying on the floor shivering Keyara wondered if anyone would find her before she was dead, how long would she have been dead before she was found?
Looking down at her hand Keyara could see that she was loosing all the colour to her skin, she was turning blue. It was getting harder and harder for her to keep her eyes open, soon enough she slipped out of consciousness. While unconscious Keyara had a very vivid dream. She was in Haiti with Jason building houses for poor families. They were having so much fun until Keyara somehow ended up with a nail through the center of her hand, yet somehow Keyara managed to convince Jason to continue building houses while she went to the hospital where she got the nail pulled out at the holes stitched up. She was given some antibacterial medication along with something for the pain. They wrapped her hand in gauze then she went back to building houses with Jason.
When Keyara woke up again it was dark outside, there was no noise on the streets at all. She could see the stars and the moon. Keyara was beyond cold, she managed to pull herself to where the pig was laying she felt it, it was warmer than she was so she curled up with it to give her some more heat. It stunk a lot but it was worth it if it ment she could live a little bit longer. Within seconds Keyara had fallen asleep again.
~ With Ella ~
Ella was pacing back and forth in her kitchen like she had been for the past four hours. Keyara wasn't answering her calls, or texts. So Ella though maybe she just went to the mall with her friends. She called Aubrey, Chelsea, and Bridgets houses but none of them had seen Keyara since first period. They told her that Keyara left during first period because she wasn't feeling well. It finally dawned on Ella to call Byron, maybe Keyara went over there.
" Hey Byron. Is Keyara over there?" Ella asks.
" Hello Ella, no Keyara isn't here why?" Byron asks concerned.
" Are Aria and Mike with you?" " Yeah they're both here. What is this about?"
" Have you seen Keyara at all today?"
" No I haven't. Ella what is this about?"
" Keyara's missing."
" What do you mean Keyara's missing?"
" She didn't return from school."
" School ended four hours ago and you're just now calling?"
" I though she went to the mall with her friends. But I called them all and they all told me that she left during first period because she wasn't feeling well and none of them have seen her since." Ella says.
" Okay the kids, Linnea, and I are heading to your place now." Byron says into the phone before he hung up.
~ With Byron ~
" Dad what's going on?" Mike asks.
" Keyara's missing." Byron replies.
" What?" Mike asks.
" How?" Aria asks.
" I don't know we're going to your mothers now."
" Byron we'll find her." Linnea says.
" I hope so. The last two girls to go missing in Rosewood ended up dead." Byron says as they get into the car.
" You're daughter's not going to end up like that Byron. You can't think like that either." Linnea says squeezing Byrons hand as they make their way to Ellas.
Byron pulled into Ella's driveway where Keyara normally parked her car and as soon as he shut the car off she was out of it and running into the house. Aria, Mike, and Linnea close on his tail. When they got in Ella was still pacing back and forth in the kitchen. She heard the four come in and she had stopped pacing for the first time in four and a half hours.
" Okay Ella tell us what happened." Byron says.
" I don't know even know what happened. She told me this morning that she was going to come straight home after school and so when she didn't get here right away I just thought she went to the mall with her friends. I called her just to make sure but she didn't answer. I called again every half hour and sent her texts but she never answered her phone or replies to the texts. So when it was three hours since school ended I called all of her friends at their homes. All of them said the same thing, that Keyara didn't feel well and left during first period and they hadn't seen or spoke to her since." Ella says tears falling from her eyes.
" We'll find her Ella." Linnea says giving Ella's hand a squeeze for confort.
" Linnea's right mom. We'll find her." Mike told his mom.
" Did you call Jason? I know they're friends maybe she's with him." Aria says with hope.
" No I didn't. I'll try him now." Ella says picking up the phone. " Hello, Jason?" Ella asks.
" Yes, Ella what are you doing caling me?" Jason asks.
" Do you know where Keyara is?" " No I don't know where she is."
" Okay thanks any way Jason."
" Wait can I ask why?"
" Uh yeah I just don't know where she went after school is all. sorry for interupting your night Jason."
" It's okay. Bye Ella." " Goodnight Jason." Ella says hanging up the phone.
" No luck?" Byron asks.
" No, he has no idea where Keyara is."
" Maybe she went to the mall by herself?" Mike says.
" I doubt it, but it's worth a shot. Aria, Mike do you two want come to the mall with me and look for her?" Ella asks.
" Yeah mom we'll come." Aria says.
" Okay and Byron you and Linnea could look for her at the football feilds and then at the hospital she was talking about going to visit some of the long term patients there." Ella says grabbing her coat and car keys.
" Okay we'll do that. Meet back here in an hour then?" Byron asks.
" Yes, and if she isn't found then we'll call the police." Ella says.
" Let's hope it doesn't have to go to the police." Linnea says.
" Well let's go." Mike says.
~ Back with Keyara ~
This time around Keyara's dream hadn't been so kind to her as the first one. In this dream Linnea kidnapped Keyara and Jason and was skinning Jason alive in front of Keyara. Throught the whole dream Linnea was laughing as Jason was screaming and Keyara was crying and yelling at her to stop. After a few minutes Jason was dead and Linnea was licking Jasons blood off the knife, still laughing her menical little laugh. Once the knife was cleaned off, Linnea wiped her saliva off it, walked up to Keyara and stabbed her in the thigh once. Slowly Linnea pulled the blade out then like she had done with Jason's she licked Keyara's blood off.
Keyara woke up in a cold sweat, she was freezing but the pig was still giving her some warmth. Looking outside it was still dark. Great Keyara thought. It must be like midnight or close to it. It was getting harder for Keyara to breath. The science freezer wan't ment for the living, it was ment for the dead. But that's what Keyara would be before anyone found her. Frozen to death, everyone will think it was just a freak accident but Linnea would know she was the one who killed her. Keyara had already forgotten how she got locked in the freezer to begin with. She couldn't even remember why she was here to begin with.
~ With the other Montgomery's ~
Aria, Mike, and Ella had scowered every inch of the mall but Keyara was not found anywhere. They drove back to Ella's house and waited for Byron and Linnea to arrive. Praying to god that when Byron and Linnea arrived Keyara would be with them.
" Did you find her?" Ella asks before Byron could even fully enter the house.
" No, she wasn't at the feilds or hospital. I'm guessing you didn't find her either?"
" No, we searched every inch of the mall. She wasn't there." Mike says.
" I guess I'll call the cops then." Ella says picking up the phone. " 911 what's your emergency?"
" My daughter is missing."
" Ma'am can you tell me your daughters name?"
" Keyara Montgomery."
" Could you tell me where you're calling from?"
" 312 King street in Rosewood."
" And who's calling?"
" Ella Montgomery."
Okay, do you know the last time anyone saw your daughter Ella?"
" Not since she was at school."
" Did anyone see her leave the school after it ended?"
" No her friends told me she left during first period because she didn't feel good."
" Okay well I've told officers in Rosewood and they'll be at your address to help you soon."
" Okay, they're here. Bye." Ella says then hangs up as the police knock on the door.
" Hello, Ella Montgomery?" The police ask through the door.
" Come on in." Byron says opening the door.
" So you're daughter is missing?"
" Yes, Keyara. Nobody's seen her since this morning." Ella says.
" And you just called now?"
" Ya well I thought she was at school until six hours ago. Then until three hours after school was over I thought maybe she was at the mall. I called her friends after the three hours but they all said she left during first period because she didn't feel well. After I finished talking to them I called my ex husband Keyara's father asking if she was there. She wasn't and I told him she was missing so Byron, Linnea Byron's girlfriend, and our other two kids came over. The kids and I went to the mall to look for her, while Linnea and Byron went to the football feilds then to the hospital to look for her. We met back here after an hour of unsucessful searching and called 911." Ella states.
" Okay well do you have a recent picture of her?"
" Yeah I have one hanging in the living room, it was taking a week ago. Aria can you get it?"
" Yeah I got it mom."Aria says leaving the kitchen. " Here." Aria says handing the picture to the lead officer.
" Thank you. Can we take it out of the frame?"
" Yes."Byron says.
" Okay, officer Darls is going to take this to the station and make some missing posters. Since it's nearly one in the morning I suggest you try and get some rest and we'll pick this up in the mornign when the city is awake."
" Okay, thank you officer." Ella says as the officers all leave.
" Ella, the kids, Linnea and I are going back to our place to try to sleep." Byron says.
" Okay. Call me in the morning?"
" We will." Byron says as the four leave.
