Chapter 4

Alex is from Paris, France he lives there with his father and grandmother. His mother left after he was born and his father is very busy so he was sent here two years ago too like Christine. Christine on the other hand, is from a rich family. Her parents wanted her to be educated in the finest school in the country. When Andrea told them her story the listened with interest and offered their condolences when they heard about her mother. Time passed by fast. Before she knew it, it was already five months she studied in boarding school. Andrea had fun and enjoyed her life in boarding school with Alex and Christine. She took up many sports and entered many after school activities like dance classes. But luck was not on her side. One day Andrea received a letter from her sister. She was very happy as this was the first time in many months her sister has ever written to her. She took the letter to the field where Alex and Christine were waiting for her. “Hey guys! Look what I got”, said Andrea as she waved the letter at them. “Who is it from?” asked Alex and Christine. “It is from my sister, Alice”, replied Andrea. Andrea took a seat next to Alex and ripped the letter open carefully. The letter was short. She read the letter aloud to her friends. The letter went like this:

      Andrea,

            Please come home now. We are now orphaned. Step-mother and father are dead. You have to come and help me before I become its next victim. Save me Andrea!

                                                        Yours in need of help,

                                                                Alice

To make it even worst there was a few drops of blood on the letter. Andrea felt faint after reading the letter; luckily Alex caught her before she fell to the ground. Alex placed her gently on the grass.
