Part 60

The place was dark and dusty letting us know it has ben some time since somebody lived here

"Wow this is...magical"-Chloe whispered admiring the big pile of books that covered the whole wall almost like the whole place:-"Now I know why you became a writter:"-she ended chuckling at herself while looking up at the books all the time making me wonder how she still hasnt snapped her neck. "We have no time for this we have answers to find"-I said while getting out from the back door in search for something and as soon as I saw it or more like them I found myself making the way to what seemed to be the neighbours of this house.

"Hello!My name is Laura and I used to live here right on the house next to you but for some personal reasons I lost contact with them and didnt see them for years and I was wondering if you know anything about them.Did they move out or something?"-I said as I got near to my neighbours shaking hands with them(corona doesnt exist in my book and I hope it didnt even in real life:)

"No we actually dont.We were never close to them as they were always distant people for some reason and never in the house.They were always working,only their kids were home alone as always.":-a tall man said with a concerned look on his face. "How many kids did they have?"-I asked swallowing the huge lump formed in my throat. "Two..a boy and a girl but they disapeared with the parents as well leaving no trace behind."-he answered again. "When did this happen?I mean when did you last see them?" "On 5 january 2001..they left the house as usual by the morning but I think they came back by dinner and then a storm happened that night..a storm for which all the localities had warned the people for..a storm which cannot be easily forgoted...and boom the next morning..nothing..no parents no kids no sign that people used to live there..they vanished almost like they werent even here at first."-the man said for the last time before excusing himself and leaving with the others. "Thats the day you were found..."-Chloe whispered from behind me.

"And the date I was registered in that orphanage."-I whispered still not looking at her.-"Why does my life have to be so messed up...cant I just have a normal one just like others." "Well I think your normal life can wait..but you have first to see this thing I found"-She said guiding me back at te villa while taking a different direction from before and entering a big room which I recognised as the kitchen. "Look at this":-Chloe said while pointing at the what seemed to be the fridge where old notes were still sticked on.

"Dont forget to eat your food and dont forget momma and dad love you"

"We will be working in the office so we wont come back even for today so be good kids for us"

This were some of the notes but the one which took my attention was the one which stood at the very end of the door which said:

"If anything happens call nanny Leyla"

"We used to have a nanny?".-I asked still confused. "Yes and she could be basically the only person with which your parents were the closest with and she for sure knows a lot about you guys.You understand me Laura?She is the real key to our answers!".-Chloe said throwing her hands in the air as if trying to prove more her point. "But how can we find her?":-I asked. "Here":-Chloe said pointing at the sticker who stood in the middle of all.

"Dont forget the list of numbers to call if something happens..they are on the walls of each on of your bedrooms"

"Her number may be there as well"-Chloe reasoned. "Whats the posibility for her to not have changed her number for 20 years?":-I asked almost laughing at the idea. "Never 0":-Chloe chiped out while dragging me upstairs where the bedrooms seemed to be positioned. "Parents?No.Brendon?Oh so your bothers name was Brendon?cool...Vanessa?This is it":-Chloe said reading the stickers put on each door of the hall before dragging me inside my old room. The room was a light pink with unicorns painted on it and lots of teddys of different sizes laying on the ground. "Now I know why you still sleep hugging a pillow"-Chloe said chuckling earning a light slap from me at the back of her head. "Oh here they are!Emergency..emergency..police...firefighter..umm umm NANNY!found her!!"-Chloe said making a little happy dance before writting down the number on her phone. While Chloe was doing most of the job I couldnt help but wonder around the room surveying every small detail in hope to remember something till.

Flashback(Violence included)

"Brend what you doing here?" "Shush the nanny is sleeping" "Brend stop you have been hearing your bad friends again" "You can say whatever you want mom and dad are not home they cant hear you and they would never believe you" "BREND STOP!!!!!"

"Ahhh"-I screamed holding my head from the unbearable pain as tears started falling making me fall on my knees. "Laura omg are you good?"-a worried Chloe was heard but everything was blur. "He used to..." "Laura stop calm down give yourself a rest and we can talk later":- Chloe said helping me get up and sit on the couch. "Im good now thanks":-I said as I rubbed my head in soothing circles making that little bit of pain that was left fade away. "You just spaced out staring at the bed..it was scary to be honest I got worried" "Its okay now how about we go outside":-I said getting up and making my way to the door before being stopped by Chloes words:-"Whats that what you wanted to tell me?" I stopped thinking with myself and turning to her I said:-"No nothing its gone now":-before leaving to downstair only to stop at the kitchens door again not having the heart to leave making Chloe pass by me getting outside before stopping herself as she noticed that I wasnt following.

"Laura are you okay?We gotta go":-Chloe said stepping by my side again. "No but...who are those parents who leave their childs alone all the time..whats the reason they couldnt even talk or stay with us like normal parents do?":-I asked more to myself as I stared at the numerous notes still sticked on the fridge for the last time before sprinting off the home which never felt like one to me...
