"Mama" Baby Luz went happily.

   "Look at her Mi Amor, She is so beautiful..." Mr. Noceda proclaimed. "Si, sometimes I wish children could always be like this- so tiny, and depending on mami and papi."

   Mr. And Mrs. Noceda walked out of the living room into the kitchen, leaving baby Luz in her tiny cradle. As Mrs. Noceda -Camilla- turned to face her baby once more, her face turned from happiness to distraught.

   "LUZ!! WHERE ARE YOU?! MI AMOR!! LUZ IS MISSING!"

   "WHAT?! Wh- where could she have gone?!" The two questioned, frantically searching the house.

   As Camilla went outside, she noticed Luz's Pacifier, covered with dirt, on the sidewalk. "LUZ?! LUZ!!" Camilla cried reaching for her baby, as a car was about to hit her child.

   Bam!! 

   Luckily the car had missed Luz, but in return.... Mr. Noceda had passed away, holding her in his arms, sacrificing himself for his wife and daughter to live.

   A week had passed, the funeral had already happened, and Camilla fell into depression, once again.

   Camilla had just gotten free from her mental illness, but it sadly returned in the form of grief.

    "Mama ma...." Luz called Camilla. "Yes baby? Mama's here,"

    "Dada?"

    "No, dada's not here. He's in a really deep sleep now Mija...." Camilla replied, crying.

   A few hours had gone by, Camilla had fallen asleep, and Luz was getting into mischief. "Dada? Dada...dada?!" Luz cried as she walked out of the bedroom door, searching for her Dad.

   Camilla woke up with a feeling baby Luz, was going to be in danger in less than a minute.

    "Luz? LUZ!!" Camilla cried as she ran into every room and lawn. Camilla cried, wondering how Luz could have gotten out of the crib when she couldn't climb yet.

    Anxiously, Camilla re-checked every nic and corner in her house. When Luz was nowhere to be found, she called the police.

    "Officers, please help!"

    "What seems to be the emergency ma'am?" The dispatcher asked with a soothing tone.

    "My baby, she's gone!" Panicked, Camilla screamed on the phone.

    "Okay ma'am. Calm down, where could your baby have wandered off to?"

    "That's the point, she couldn't have. She was in the crib and couldn't climb. There was no possible way it could have been a kidnapping, the house is VERY echoey, so I would've heard someone breaking in." Camilla cried as the officer told her to take some breaths and search the house again as they were going to send officers.

    "What is your child's name, age, gender, clothing they were last seen wearing, height, weight, and what they look like ma'am?" The officer asked as they were exiting out of the car with other police.

    "Her name is Luz, one year old, female, wearing a pink and teal hearted one-piece pajamas, two and a half feet tall, twenty-five pounds and six ounces, she has short purplish-brown hair, brown eyes, light-brown skin." Camilla had described with speed as fast as lighting.

   "Okay ma'am, we will have a search party look for her. If we can't find anything within the first month, then there is a possibility that-"

   "DON'T SAY IT!! You WILL find my baby, she is my ONLY child and her papi passed away just a WEEK ago, I CANNOT afford to lose my baby!" Camilla cried shushing the officer to not finish his sentence, for she could not bear to hear that her daughter could be dead.

   *Meanwhile with Luz*

   "Dada?" Baby Luz asked while looking at a bright door. "Dada....."

    Hoping to find her dad on the other side, Luz used every last bit of her strength to try and climb the three-stepped staircase. Luz walked the rest of the way, trying not to tumble, and went through the bright glowing door.

   "Dada?" Baby Luz called out into the vast dark. Just ahead, there was a light. As Luz made her way out, she thought she had seen her dad and walked toward him.

   "Dada!" She called once more

   "Dada! Dada!" She yelled excitedly. "Who's child is this?" Questioned a voice.

    When she looked up, she didn't see her dad's face, She had seen Edalyn Clawthorne- a wild witch.
