Chapter 9 Scarelt's POV

I picked up the piece of toast that mum had made for me. we just got back home yesterday and we herd the news about Analea.

I missed her so much on our holiday and couldn't wait to see her but now I'm not sure if I'll ever see her again. I hope that somebody Finds her soon.

I slowly chewed on my toast. it was the only food I had had since yesterday. although I was starving I couldn't eat. I felt sick. apparently she went missing when she was at a disco. I bet if I was there non of this would of happened. I couldn't help telling myself that these circumstances would not have happened if things were different.

Yesterday the police told my parents everything they knew about Analea. Apparently she told her friends that she needed to go to the bathroom, but half an hour later she still didn't return. so they went looking for her. they asked a staff member where the bathroom was and as soon as he told them it was outside they sprinted out of the big hall and looked in the bathroom. but nobody was in there. After an hour of searching they called the police.

After I finished most of my toast I threw out what was left of it out. I opened our front door and started walking out of our backyard. I decided I was going to go to shoetopian glaze field. I hoped that I would find Analea sitting on the fence like she always does singing to her favourite tunes. But deep down I knew that she wouldn't be there.

I finally made my way down to the beautiful field. I sat where Analea usually sits, and quietly prayed.

I missed her so much and hoped that she would be okay.

"scarlet?" I herd a voice behind me. I turned to look. it was Oscar standing in the long grass.

"Hello Oscar" I said with a sigh.

"I guess you herd the news, you know about - Analea."

As soon as I herd her name tears started trickling down my face. "I'm sorry" Oscar said as he gave me a one arm hug.

"It's okay, I just miss her so much!" I said while still sobbing.

"It feels like yesterday when us three went out for pizza, and Analea ordered a pepperoni pizza but the guy brought a peppermint pizza." Oscar said with a smile. "yeah that was funny" I started thinking back to that moment. I remember when the pizza had the normal pizza base and the pizza sauce but it had Mint flakes on it. we all tried it and it was gross. but we found out that the man who took our order was half deaf and thought that we were crazy ordering a peppermint pizza. But once we re told our order to another man we got the right pizza.

After about half an hour of me and Oscar sharing stories about Analea Oscar said that he had to get going. I got up to go with him but my legs were so numb from sitting down for so long.

"Are you okay?" Oscar asked with a concerned look on his face. "yeah I'm fine my legs are just a little numb that's all. I think I'll stay here for a little bit longer." I replied.

"Okay well I have yo get going I'll talk to you soon also make sure that if you hear any news on Analea let me know and I'll do the same." "Okay I will, thanks Oscar." he gave me a small wave and headed down the road.

I stayed at shoetopian glaze for another 10 minutes before I decided that it was time to go home. Shoetopian glaze was Analeas most favourite place and I wish that she could be here with me. I looked up at the cloudy sky. I could see that it was getting dark and I didn't want to walk home when it was too dark.

I pushed my weight of the fence and stood up. my Legs were still numb but not as much as before. I staggered to the walkway and started walking. I continued walking and something suddenly startled me. I turned to look behind me and a man with brown hair was standing there with a weird look on his face, almost like an evil smile.
