The Lost Soul

Chapter 1:

Indiana Jones thought he had set out to find the lost curse. He didn't know where he had went wrong. Let's recap. That morning he had told his only daughter Aizora Imellia Jones that he'd be gone for a week's time. He never thought it would take him this long as he didn't know what to do other than keep going. He had given his coin that he had found on his last treasure hunt to his daughter. He didn't know if he had regretted it or not.

Aizora sat around the table eating her cut up fruit as she looked over at her dad who had walked into the room. " Dad you look like you haven't slept?" She was right he hadn't slept much. He tried to smile down at her as he thought she knew him to well as he barely knew his own daughter. After her mom had passed away he didn't have the heart to tell her as he told her that she had packed up her things and left. He didn't understand the life she had for both of them.

" I have to go back to search." He could see the sadness in her eyes at only 16. " Only for a week. I'll be back." He promised as he rubbed the coin in between his fingers afraid to do the wrong thing. " Here I want you to have this." He said pressing it in her palm as he looked everywhere else instead of her. She didn't say anything as he told her to behave as Mrs. Burkes will be dropping by later to check on her. Aizora was never a bad teen she behaved well enough to a point where she could stay home by herself. After packing up the rest of his things he kissed Aizora goodbye as he left leaving her in her thoughts once more. She felt like she knew Mrs. Burkes better than her own father.

A couple days had went by as Mrs. Burkes came to check up on her as she felt useless. She knew she could've done anything else but she got a job as a maid helping the hotel as it grew in business. She helped the hungry as she noticed it had been 2 weeks. Should she worry? She knew how her father was and he had promised, but if he knew he would've sent a note. School was hectic as she knew her bestfriend was lying to her about something but she couldn't tell what. Everyday it was like the same thing. She'd feel sick to the point where she'd go home or she'd come to class holding her stomach. I didn't know what was wrong and everytime I asked she wouldn't tell me or she'd say " Feeling sick."

Andrew Anderson wasn't that great of a person, and it's like he knew that. He wanted people to fear him. When he got in a fight with some of the football players I thought for sure they'd send him home and never to return but his dad paid a huge amount to the school so they couldn't do anything. He got away with almost everything. I could tell everytime he looked at Marie and me something felt off and I knew she wasn't telling me everything. " Ok spill. Now!"
" Spill what."
I wanted to pull my hair. " For starters the way he just looked at you and second everytime any of his "friends" are near us it's like you're this tense shy girl. Where's my bestfriend?" She just gave me a look and shrugged as I just wasn't having it as I just let it go.

Indiana's pov:

Indiana climbed the big hill as he over looked the valley below. Why did he have to go this way? It didn't make no sense to him. He was getting more confused and if that wasn't enough he hadn't slept in over a week now. Stressed he pulled out a ham and cheese sandwhich Aizora made for him as he kept walking as he also drunk his tea. He thought about his daughters well being and of course the road ahead. He was supposed to go North but his compass kept pointing west, maybe he got it wrong? After noticing it was getting dark he set up camp in a little clearing. What he did was set up a little tent as he made the fire close to it as he found a good sterdy tree a little ways off as he tied himself to the tree but not before getting the important stuff.

Maybe you'll get some shut eye." He wanted to laugh. He should've told Gearett where he was going but he had only told one person where he was going as that was the only person he could trust. Thinking back to that one night stand He didn't understand what had happened and how she died. She was perfectly healthy almost 16 years ago was the day the doctor told him that she would need a name. He named her after his mother and somone close to him. He didn't know much about how to raise a baby but he made sure to start her in school early. She was smart and he felt bad as he pondered on why he everlied to her about her mother. He knew he better get some shut eye before he making it to the cave of secrets.
