The Disappearance

Chapter 2

Buzz. Buzz.

Its was six thirty and Skylar got up and rushed over to get into the shower before going down to college.

‘Hun! I need you down here now please!’ Debbie shouted up as Skylar ran out of the door grabbed her basic clothes and slipped them on. Today she was wearing her old converses again with thick black tights and dark navy blue shorts with a black top and a grey hoodie. She had wrapped her tangled hair up in the towel and scrurried down the steps nearly falling while her bag pack was dangling out of her hand. She ran into the kitchen and slipped as the floor was wet due to her mum mopping the floor. Thanks mum!

‘Mum, whats the matter?’ Skylar asked with an interested look on her face.

‘Hun, there is no other way to say it but... um, well, when I said I didnt know where your father was well I did...’ Said Debbie in a worried tone, Skylar interuppted her.

‘Mum its OK.’

‘No hun, its not. He was in prison for the crime he commited and he has now escaped and he is looking...’ Debbie looked like she was choking on her last word but she had to tell Skylar and when she did her whole world had just changed!

‘Skylar hun, your father, he is looking for you. Im so sorry but ill be here to protect you all the way, OK?’

Skylar looked like she was going to faint in horror but there was nothing she could do about it. Nothing at all.

When Skylar had opened her eyes she was in the dark, it was her bedroom. Her blindes were closed and so was the door. She was under the cover of her blanket but still dressed ready to go to college.

Whats happened? Has the day ended already?

She stood up out of bed and walked over to the curtains and pulled them back, no it was still pure daylight! She walked out of the door and down the steps and seen her mother was lying on the couch with a cup of tea in her hand watching all of her TV soaps on record, she was a big fan.

‘Mum, what happened, why am I not in college?’ Said Skylar whilst yawning.

‘Hun, you fainted when I told you about your father. C’mon sit with me and ill make you a nice hot cup of tea, yes?’

‘What about college?’ Skylar asked.

‘Have the day off.’ Debbie replied with a smile that glowed her whole face up.

The whole day Skylar and Debbie just watched some telvision and had cups of teas. They both had a good day just lying around, it was nice to just do nothing and spend time with her mum but her dad getting out of prison didnt slip her mind.

College was proberly over so she put on a fresh pair of clothes and went down the road to the Cafe. The group was already there. As she walked through the door the room gave you that warm, happy feeling. She ordered another hot chocolate and sat next to Sammy by the window facing James and Max facing Sammy. Skylar was so pleased, she finally had proper friends, friends she could rely on. The cafe seemed brighter, maybe it was because that witch Britney and her ‘property’ werent there, destroying laughter and turning it into fear!

Today Sammy was wearing a nice black dress with a white belt slipped around her waist, she wore black thin tights which had little silver skulls on them, her boots were the same black doc martins but with white laces this time, her hair was tied back into two low pigtails and she looked like a cute little goth girl. She wore dark black eyeliner and was heavy on her mascara. James wore a plain black t-shirt and some dark blue jeans with his red converses and as for Max he wore a black t-shirt with a big white skull in the middle of it and a big red ring around it, he wore dark black jeans and some navy blue converses. Sammy was drinking her smoothie talking about things she hates in the world while James seemed to of been playing an interesting game on his phone-(which he had concerntrated very well on)- and Max was reader the paper like he was the dad of the group. Skylar was only half listening to Sammy but she was more interested in the headline on Max’s newspaper, she read...

 ‘KILLER ON THE LOOSE AND HE IS SEARCHING FOR REVENGE!'

 What if it was Skylars dad? It might say where he is going. She snatched the newspaper of Max and mimed one minute, she read and read and read until she found her answer. She slammed her fist hard against the table and stormed outside. She kicked the bench that was placed outside of one of the cafes windows and sank her head into her hands. Sammy, James and Max all looked at the newspaper and it showed a picture of Skylar and that he was coming for her. They rushed to her outside and Sammy ran over to her and gave her a massive hug which had come with a big squeeze. Max sat next to her and he seemed really depressed and upset for her, James came over and gave her a hug, she had to stand up because he was to tall and he bent down to her to much. The hug meant a lot to her, she always felt warm and safe next to him, being around him.When he hugged her she felt like a little tiny person standing next to a big massive giant. His arms held her back and pulled her towards his chest where she felt his heart beat. Warmth came off of his body and into hers making her feel all tingly inside, she felt calm now and wanted to stay in his arms forever, be in this moment until time ends. Max and Sammy were standing next to one another barely touching hands, they just stared at Skylar and looked at her in despair and sadness.

Sammy drove Skylar home and the boys were in the back. The trip back to Skylars was very quite, the only noise was the music on the radio which were calm and steady songs unlike the cds which Sammy had! The group gave Skylar their numbers and she put them on speed dial for emergencies. Skylar got out of the car and said thank you to Sammy then opened her gate to walk into the house and watched how Sammys car drove of into the mist and disappeared.

‘Mum im home!’ Skylar shouted into the house. No answer. Was she home? Skylar walked into the livingroom and dropped her keys onto the table next to a newspaper. The newspaper had circles in red of different things. When she had turned over the page she stared at it in so much shock, her dad was ringed in red! Nobody was in the house. Did he take her away? Did she go out looking for him? She rushed over to the door and locked up every lock there was and the same for windows. Nobody was getting in or out.

In turned midnight when Skylar went up to bed. It was pitch black outside and her mum (Debbie) wasnt back home yet. She walked up stairs slowly but steady and opened her mums door to see if she had fallen asleep. No, nobody was there. Her car keys were on her bed so she must of walked down to her friends, Skylar thought. She walked into her room and felt so alone. She pulled her blindes back and looked outside at the beautiful stars and moon glowing in the night sky. Skylar pulled back her duvet blanket and tucked herself into bed, she couldnt sleep for a long while, she was worrying about where her mum was and her dad was out of prison so who knew what could of happened. She picked up her phone and dialled her mums phone number. A phone was ringing in the next room, she stood up and ran into her mums room and there lay her phone on her pillow ringing with the name ‘Skylar’ on it. Skylar was so shocked, Debbie had never left her phone when she left the house, something was wrong, something terribly wrong. She rushed into her room and started crying she never doubted that her dad had taken her mum to get to Skylar. She dragged the cover up to her shoulders and sank her head into her pillow and started crying.

It was now Saturday and Debbie had now been missing for three days.

The house was empty and quiet, Skylar felt so alone which she was but she felt like there was no soul in the house or a shadow behind her. She didnt know what to do apart from get up and eat breakfast, what else could she do? Look for her mum?

She sat down on the couch with a nice hot cup of tea in her hands. The mug felt warm against the palms of her hands and the tea tasted soft and sweet. She felt... satisfied. But she thought of her mum and a tear dropped out of her eye and slowly crept down the side of her cheak. The thought of loosing her was horrible but she didnt know if she was going to or if she had which made it worse. She kept thinking of the newspaper she had seen Max reading, her dad escaping prison, her mum, what if he had her? What if he had murdered her to get to Skylar? What if she was never going to see her mum again? What will Skylar do to prevent these things from happening?
