The hollow past

Chapter-1 The reunite of silence and letters

After whole 13 years parents of Liam Carter and Sophie Carter are uniting back, as far as he can remember was a tragedy that happened when he was 4 years old that led to a conflict between them and the two separated.

Liam, Sophie and their mom Emily were waiting in terminal 6 of the airport of the nearby city Melabose. Liam and Sophie were both excited but it didn't looked the same case for their mom, it looked like she was not happy and was forced. Sophie was asking different questions to Lily but she was not replying suddenly Sophie asked her mother about why the two got separated, Lily slapped Sophie and started shouting at her, Liam calmed both of them as the situation was becoming a little too embarrassing.

Soon after, their dad David came but little to his surprise no one talked to each other Liam greeted his father but it looked like Lily didn't care at all, they simply walked silently out of the airport got into a taxi and reached home no one even said a word.

When they reached home Lily cleaned up the fourth room which was always locked and was strictly prohibited for anyone to enter, once Sophie tried but was caught by her mother and was locked in her room for a day with no food.

Lily put everything in a garbage bag and threw it outside in the backyard. That day there was an uneasy silence on the dinner table along with an eerie presence not felt before.Liam finished first and got out to the backyard to roam.

Liam saw something poking out of the garbage bag that her mother had thrown earlier. On closer inspection it was a letter and when he opened the bag he was shocked by the amount of letters in it. It was filled with letters written by the same person. He quickly took the shovel near the fence and buried the bag. He quickly got into the house directly into his room and went to bed. Next day he woke early and checked to see if anyone had  awoken but was shocked to see mom and dad were sleeping in completely different rooms. He silently crept out to the backyard but thought something and slept again. When he woke everyone was awake and getting ready to go out somewhere on the insistence of Sophie. Liam declined to go out and gave the reason that he had to complete a client's order and the deadline was near as it was a heavy paying job his mom agreed. Later when everyone had gone Liam dug out the bag and took all the letters to his room l, he opened each and every letter and also read them. Beneath all the letters he also found drawings that were creepy and mainly featured two common characters a black guy and a pregnant lady in blue dress. The letters were written by his mom and another guy. Mom wrote the guy letters to forgive her and her sister which was held in captivity by the man and the person's letters were all about threatening both of them. He took out a diary and mentioned important points.

A new turn in his life has taken he was on a mission; a mission to find out all about his parents past.
