Chapter 28: Ashlyn (The last chapter)

•3291 words•

Addi comes through the front door and slams it shut. She's panting, and red in the face.

"Hi, Addi! Have a nice walk with Myliey?" I question.
"Uh...y-yeah," she mutters, still panting.
"In fact, where is Myliey?"
"U-Uh, about that," she wheezes, holding her finger up to me as her little body droops down towards the floor. She looks like she's just ran a marathon.
"Myliey- Myliey is- I don't know where she went. I was walking in front of her and then I turned around, and- and she wasn't there anymore. So then I ran as fast I could to get back here and tell all of you! Could you help me find her?"
She starts to cry.

I don't like her, but I walk over to her and give her a hug.

"It's okay," I say, trying to comfort her. "We'll find Myliey. She can't have gone far."

Addi smiles at me and then grabs my hand. Ugh, little childrens' hands- they're either sticky, muddy, have food on them, or are wet. In this case, Addi's are wet. Interesting- Myliey never said they were going to the beach.

I take her upstairs, still frustrated as to why she feels the need to hold my hand, and sit her down on her bed.

I ask her a few 'detective questions' as to what could have happened, and by the sound of it- this sounds very serious. Long story short, she told me that she saw a hand grab Myliey. Although, come to think of it, that's not the same thing she told me when she walked through the door.

"Kyron!" I shout in a panic.
"Yeah, Ashie?"
"Myliey's gone missing. Like, seriously."

'Seriously? Pfft. Why do you believe a demonic 6-year-old?': you may ask. Well, I've read through the whole section of missing people in the guidance booklet, and this is serious.

Kyron calls Berkley's and tells them that Myliey's gone missing. They don't believe him at first- because apparently she went 'missing' the other week. Turns out that was just a false alarm. I take over the phone and tell them everything I know- then, they think it's serious.

Berkley's workers turn up at our house and others start to search for Myliey. We're allowed to look for her too, but just for today. After that, we're not allowed to help find a missing roommate- it's the rules. We'll just have to wait until she either comes home or gets found, if she does.

Addi came to live with us 8 days ago now, and her and Myliey have become inseparable. I'm quite glad, actually, because no one else wants to spend time with Addi. I feel a little bad for her, but I also don't- I know how bad her meltdowns can get. I only lived with her and Jamie for about 2 months, but wow, she really tested me. She tested the amount of decibels of sound my ears could cope with, I know that. With all the noise she made, you'd be surprised that I didn't go deaf.

We first reported Myliey missing 2 hours ago, and now the police are on the case. They took Addi with them to look for Myliey, as they think that she will tell them where her and Myliey went on their walk. They left the house at 8 am this morning, and Myliey said that they were going on a walk to the watertowers. Maybe that explains why there was water on Addi's hands-

OH MY GOD! I might be onto something. This might be biased, but I think I sound like a real detective.

I ring up Berkley's to tell them more information. Things like: what time they left, where they said they were going, etc.
