"Sara dear we're out of carrots please go fetch some from the market!" said Mrs. Hidnen "Oh but mummy it's dark it isn't safe to go out of doors." replied a young girl named Sarah Hidnen "Sarah if you don't fetch those carrots you may forget about eating!" with a sigh Sarah grabbed her coat, basket, and some money and set off for the market.
It was a cold night in the dark streets of London as Sarah set off for the market, since it wasn't very far she was able to get there quickly but when she finished paying for the carrots she bumped into a tall, fat, man with only one working eye and a bottle of brandy in his hand "Where are you going little girl?" he slurred "I-I'm going back home I just needed to buy some carrots." said Sarah with fear laced in her words "Well ye better careful little girl these streets are full of dangerous people." said the man who started walking away from the girl.
Once he was gone Sarah gulped and continued walking home, but the poor girl never made it back home. Her mother never heard Sarah's sweet little voice again, her friends never heard Sarah's silly little ideas, and her teachers never saw Sarah's little hand raised to answer a question. When the cops went to investigate all they saw was a pool of blood where Sarah once stood, they suspected Sarah had succumbed to the 'dangerous people' the man had mentioned. Though still even after the investigation the question in everyone's mind was:
'What happened to Sarah Hidnen?"
