I limped towards the road, it was quite, I didn’t see any single person. I raised my hand waving to stop any car that comes. I couldn’t speak, my throat was dry, I tried shouting for help but I couldn’t.
I couldn’t breath properly, I was losing hope when I saw a car, I raised my hand trying to stop the car but all went into vain, I decided to go further before he sees me. I limped further trying to find a house or cottage or someone that can help me.
I walked for hours but couldn’t find anything or any one, Everywhere looked the same, tress all around.
I stayed under a tree to take a rest when I noticed a house, it was really far but I could see the roof, I was tired but I decided to walk further, the further I came the more I could see the house, it was close.I walked for over 5 minutes to get the house, The house is large, it looks beautiful, I was about approaching the door when I felt some hard touching my head, I raised my hand to touch my hair, some one hit me. Before I could figure out who it was I fainted.
Police Station.
Officer Emily's P.O.V.
She sat putting one leg on top of another, she wore a royal blue gown, it was so tight she looked so uninterested with everything that was going on, she held a cigarette on her hand, she slowly took the cigarette touching her lips, she looked like she was in her mid-forties, she was fair had pimples all over her face, she wore a makeup it was too much.
Who dresses like this when her daughter is missing.
She seems a bit weird though.I called her last week to inform to meet me so we could talk about her daughter, She made excuses of being busy but yet she still had to come today.
“Let me cut it short, Did you kidnap your daughter or Did you do it yourself? Or you got someone to do it for you”.
Any officer would ask her that question, if she keeps dressing like this and she gives giving this stupid attitude.
She gave me a cold glare after she adjusted her sitting position. “I don’t understand what you mean officer, I have been worried about my angel for days and now that you can’t find her you are blaming Emma”.That why you are dressed fancy?. My inner voice
“your action doesn’t say the same Mrs. Knight”. I was pretending to be tough, well don’t blame me I'm just 22 years. I try and pretend am tough scare the criminals.
“What do you mean?, What are you trying to say?”.
“Your daughter has been missing for days and you all dressed up and moreover Mr. Knight can’t even come to the police station because he is busy” She looked quite, I was hitting the spot “ and Mrs. Knight you tell me what kind of mother will you be when I have to force you to come talk about your daughter and Mrs. Knight based on this pictures, you seemed really happy last night” I said taking out some pictures from the drawer. “it clearly shows you are okay with your angel missing”.
She looked at me with bitterness. “It still doesn’t prove anything and are you spying on me I could get you fired for that and Are you trying to accuse me for kidnapping my own daughter, come on officer don’t be stupid " She shouted.
“Don’t raise your voice, you are at the police station not your house” I said trying to sound serious. “and we are not spying on you”. And based on out reports there was a complaint on the 3rd of January last year, a girl named Alice reported an abuse case, it says here you abuse your daughter Sara and then after her report she was no longer seen again” I said pointing at the report.
She kept quite for a while, it seemed like forever until she spoke.
“Since you have carried out research, you must be aware the girl is mentally unstable and I feel sick I will like to take your leave and please you better solve this case and stop pinning blames ”
Lie.
She quickly stood up, adjusting her dress.
“I look forward to meeting you again” I said taking my hand out for her to shake. She turned her heels and left.Last night she went to a party at a club, last few days I appointed informers to keep tabs on her, it like she doesn’t really care about her daughter and Mr. Knight keeps pressuring the police to find his daughter, I have reassured him three times that we will try our best and find her.
It a weird family, the mother seems like she doesn’t care about her daughter, she goes to parties and enjoy herself while the father seems like he can’t live without his daughter, I need to find out how their relationship is with Sara.I quickly pressed the intercom.
“ officer Lewis” I said softly.“yes ma'am”.
“get me information about this Knight family and arrange a meeting with Alice, every little information is important”.
“Yes ma'am”.
“And focus mostly on Mrs. Knight, I want to know everything about her, and everything she does, follow her steps be her shadow.”
“Ok ma'am, I will get the informers to start working”.
I am sure Alice sure knows something about Sara's family, she is the missing puzzle to solve this kidnapping issue.
Sara P.O.V.Flashback.Dad met with an accident because of me, he needed to go to his client house fast I suggested a short-cut, he was speeding fast and then his car hit a tree the accident was terrible. My step-mother is worried and sad, she says it my fault everything bad thing happens and that she made a mistake adopting me.I woke up with a strong metallic scent hitting me, every where smelt of blood, My blood.Every where was hot, she turned up the heat in my room and locked me up, I haven’t eaten for days, I struggled to stand up to clean my wounds, I tried opening the windows for more ventilation but it seems like she locked it too. I was cleaning my wounds when my hair was grabbed.She is back my inner voice said.“I’m so sorry Mom, please don’t hurt me”.“It not her Missy” I heard a loud voice, it was dad he seemed really pissed off.He tighten his grip on my hair, and gave me s
Mental asylum.. Officer Emily Black.It seemed creepy at first when she stepped into the asylum, the smell of medicines hit her nostril, it was getting uncomfortable for her, the walls seemed as if they were telling her something, telling her to run, to leave but she wanted answers, she knew Alex knows something about Sara, Sara's parents are definitely hiding a thing or two.She walked through the hallways, seeing men and women locked up, somewere dancing, some were smiling, some others were shouting for help, some tried to drag her with them, some were talking to themselves.She was told Alice is a special case and she was kept separately from others, far away locked up in the basement, after begging and pleading with the officers and doctors in charge of the mental asylum they finally agreed to allow her to be Alice but she had to be very careful.She stood in front of door, only the door separated her from Alice, she let out a breath and placed her ha
Sara.Sara didn’t know where she is?, She had no idea what to do?, She stood by the balcony door unaware of whose house she was in, she had find somewhere save, she has to escape before they find her. She sat on the floor catching her breath, the room was dark she couldn’t see anything, A few tears rolled down her cheeks beforeshe tried looking for the light switch and she succeeded, she turned on the light to be welcomed by a beautiful view.The room is beautiful, it is painted black she hated black but it looked so beautiful when she saw the walls, a king sized bed was laid across the room, a carpet that went with the designs on the bed, everything looked elegant, a chandelier that was hung, a beautiful comfy sofa, she noticed a door that led to wardrobe, she walked to the closet to wowed by clothes. Everything screamed wealth, so classy and expensive.That a lot of clothes she thought.There were lots of clothes all over the closet, shoes,
Emily.She stood in front of the door, she wore a white uniform, her hair was slightly scattered, she looked sick, she look like a person with a mental condition, her lips were dry, she parted her lips and licked her lips to avoid it from breaking. Her eye makeup were all over her face, it looked like she cried for hours.She finally got a chance to speak to Alice, the doctor told her the only way to connect to Alice is to be like Alice, she had to become a mad woman to speak to one and understand one, the doctor warned her, he gave her warning not to trigger Alice, not to make her mad. He told Emily not be call Sara’s name, she should always address Sara as witch, she shouldn’t make the mistake of asking Alice about her parents, school or about her childhood.The only thing that was separating her from Alice was the door, the door opened making a squeaking sound, there was Alice laying down on the floor, singing. Singing what only she could unde
Sara.Flash back.“Mom, Mommy, I’m really sorry, It won’t happen again” she said. Her so called mother didn’t care about her cries, her pains, her tears, she felt happy seeing her cry.Sara made a mistake today, she embarrassed her step-parents into their guests, she had no intention to do that, she had no idea they were having guests today, they never told her.One thing her step-mom was concerned about was her reputation, that all that mattered, she cared about no one, the guest they had was supposed to sign a contract with Sara’s father, the most important contract of his life and he lost it.“you will pay for everything you did today” her step-mom shouted, all Sara could do was cry, she had no idea what was in store for her, she had no idea what her step-mom was going to do. Her step-mom walked towards her and dragged her up the stairs not caring if she was hurt or not. She roughly pushed
ZACK. He has been nice her since she came, last night he comforted her when she had a bad dream, he doesn’t seem bad, he seemed different, if it was another guy he would have attempted to touch her but he didn’t. When he first saw looking all injured and helpless he felt a sudden pain in his heart, he had no idea why he helped her? Or why he actually cares this much about her? His actions towards her were different compared to the way he treated other women. She looked so broken and he wanted to fix her for himself.She wanted to trust him but she is scared what if he is not what he seems like?, What if there is much more to his character. He stared at her waiting for an answer. An answer which she didn’t want to give, an answer that scares her “Zack.. I..” before she could continue they heard a voice making them turn to look at the door. It’s an elderly voice, voice of a man.“Shit, it my Dad, he is coming up here, go hide in the closet”.He said quic
Sara's POVI sat on the bed waiting anxiously, Zack said he will soon be here with the officer. I had no idea whether to believe him or not, he seems so nice but could he be trust worthy. Zack has been nice to me since the first day we met, he seems so nice and sweet, he does everything for me, I'm beginning to think he has a motive I mean I don't think any one is this nice and we just met, he hasn't given me any reason to trust him.I was getting bored of sitting alone, I knew I couldn't switch on the television, I don't want to get any unnecessary attention, I knew he hasn't told his dad about me and I don't blame him, I'm not that important though. I sat for over thirty minutes and he hasn't arrived where was he? I was about peeping through the door when I heard a noise someone is coming. I rushed in to the closet, I needed to be sure it was him, I can't take any chances.I hid inside the closet, I could hear footsteps it was getting further and further
Emily’s POVPolice stationAlice, That name was stuck on my mind she definitely knows something, something that could break this case and something about Sara. I wanted to meet Alice again but I know the doctor will not allow me after last time. I had to find a way to meet her. I sat on my chair looking at the case file of Sara trying to see if I will find out something which I missed last time. I have been looking at the file for hours but nothing new.What the fuck I’m I missing.The doctor opened revealing officer Lewis “I’m so sorry for barging in ma’am but I found something” He said which made me adjust my position on my chair“What did you find out?” I asked curiously“Sara’s step mother, she has been transferring money to an orphanage since the day Sara went missing and she has been visiting that orphanage and my sources have confirmed she will be there today” He said
