The Window

Prologue

"Billy!" "Billy!" She cried. "Billy, where are you? I told you not to leave my side!" she said crying. "You were right here, where did you go?" She started running and tripped over a rock, and her hand was dangerously sagging over something. She reared up with caution and grabbed her flashlight turning it on. She flashed it down to see a huge cliff. Her glasses must have fallen off the cliff when she tripped because she couldn't find them anywhere. She stared down the cliff for a while, and then she saw something move.
"Billy is that you!" She screamed.
No reply. She looked up to see something shining in the distance. She walked around the edge of the cliff to see a tinted window. She ran out of the cave barely tripping over her own feet. She heard a noise from behind her, it sounded like some old person running. She looked back to see a black figure trailing after her. She was petrified, she has never seen something like this before.

     "Help!" She sniveled.

          She thought she was helpless at this point until she saw a light. It was her mom and dad running into the cave, she was so glad to see them, but she was also so frightened that the black figure was still chasing after her she told her parents to run, and she ran right past them. She looked back and saw them right beside the black character laughing, and she knew it wasn't her parents now. She started running faster than ever, and then she started to see another light, and this time she knew it was the sunlight. Something started tugging on her sweater, and she looked back and saw the shadow behind her holding onto it. So, she looked forward and kept running, and as soon as she got into the sunlight,  the shadow disappeared. She started sobbing from fear and exhaustion, she wasn't sure if her brother was alive, or dead, but she ran to the closest house she saw so she could ask if she could call her parents.

She arrived at this light- baby blue colored house with white window seems. She walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

"Hello," said a little old lady.

"Hi, I need to call my mommy, and daddy can I use your phone please?" asked the little girl.

"Yes dear, why don't u stop in for a little bit because it's chilly out," said the little old lady," my name is Georgina, and this is my husband Hershel."

"Hi Hershel, my name is Leah, Leah Evans, what a nice house you have," Said Leah.

"Why thank you, you know you have a beautiful name, by any chance are u related to Bob Evans?" Hershel asked.

"Yes, he's my father, and my mother is Lizzie Evans," Leah said hesitantly.

Georgina started walking back in the room with the phone, so Leah could call her mother.

"Here you go dear" Georgina handed Leah the phone, and Leah called her house. Her mom answered," Hello."

"Mommy, me and Billy went down in the cave again, and I don't know where he went, he was right beside me, and then she disappeared!" Leah said fearfully. " Honey where are you at!" hollered her mom.

"I'm at the blue house it's the closest house to the cave," Leah answered.

"Okay, your father and I will be down in a few minutes just stay calm and stand outside so we will see you okay?"

"Okay"

Leah thanked Hershel and Georgina for letting her borrow their phone, and she walked outside. In a way, she felt relieved, but she also wanted to know what happened to her brother. When her parents arrived, she ran up them and gave them a hug and told then everything. Once Leah was done they thanked Hershel and Georgina, once again, and hopped into the car, and drove down to the cave with five flashlights just in case.

When they arrived, Leah hopped out of her car seat and onto the ground. Leah peered at the cave as if she and Satan were face to face. She looked at her mom and said, "right there, that the last time I saw Billy."

"He's going to be here, and were going to find him." said Leah's father.

" Yeah, you're a right dad, NOW LET'S GO FIND MY BROTHER!!!" Leah shouted.

As they walked into the cave bats flew above them, and they could hear little mice running around. They huddled together to plan.

"Leah where was the last time you saw Billy," her dad asked.

"The last time I saw him was when we saw a circular place filled with shiny things" Leah replied. 

"Do you remember where it was at sweetie." Leah's mother asked.

"Yeah, it's down here," Leah said with excitement having hope that they would find her brother.

They ran down the hill going further into the cave, and then suddenly the three flashlights went out. Leah's father grabbed her and put her on his pack while her mother grabbed the other two flashlights. Her mom went to turn them on, and they didn't work. Walking slowly, they backed up the hill to get out of the cave.

"Haha..."  said a voice from behind. They stopped and turned around, and Leah's father put her down.

"You will never get him back, he's now mine!" The voice chuckled hideously.

"Who are you, where are you?" Said Leah's dad

"I'm right here," the voice said

Leah tried to get her eyes to focus, and when they did she saw it again, the dark shadow.

"Daddy, Mommy it's him the thing I told u about."

"RUN!!!" They all yelled with fright.

They all ran back up the hill and Leah looked back and the shadow wasn't there anymore. She stopped and told her parents. They looked back and Leah grabbed one of the flashlights and clicked the on button. The flashlight turned on. She took another flashlight and pressed the on button and it too, turned on. She did that to all five of the flashlights and they all turned on she handed three to her mom, two of them she put in  her backpack and one so she could use as they proceeded through the cave. They started walking down the hill again and Leah grabbed her mom's hand because she got terrified.

"Don't worry honey well be okay." Her mom said.

"Okay."

Once they got to the circular room with crystals they went through this tunnel with old broken down train tracks. Once they got to the end Leah looked down and said, "over here somewhere." And she pointed over to the one place in the entire cave that wouldn't light up. She felt a chill go through her spine and it felt like someone just walked passed her but no one was there. She walked into the darkness ignoring her parents telling her to be careful and after about taking 6 steps, she went to talk another step and she couldn't find the ground. She  grabbed the rock she tripped over earlier and dropped it. She heard nothing. She called her parents over and said, "This is the last place I saw him."

Confused and baffled was the girl. Stupefied by her brother's disappearance. Who would ever help her. No one would be able to understand her loss. The girl would find her brother. She would find Billy.
