Across the street from my house over five years ago there was a girl who lived there and she was often quiet. I visited her house once and from that very day I met her I always knew she was special. She was very blunt about things, she never told too much about the things she knew, and she often complimented certain features any normal human eyes couldn't see. She would always tell me my eyes were a beautiful color of Scarlet red but any other person would just tell me their plain old brown.

One night after I left her house she called me in the middle of the night and told me she was afraid. I asked why but all she could say was that she kept having this strange dream about disappearing and never returning. I was able to calm her down and told her to think of happy thoughts and to keep a light next to her to keep the darkness away. After our conversation I assumed she would be fine but it was then that very next morning I visited and all her parents could say was that she was gone. She didn't return later, the next day, the next week, or the next year. I always wondered about her dream she kept telling me she was having and somehow I knew she wasn't dead, but she was out there somewhere. Somewhere only unique people go.

5 years later...

Mr.Davis walked upstairs and into what was still Miracles room empty without her presence but full with her memories. He placed his hands on her teddy bear she once called Mr.Snuggles and shed a tear of sadness that she was gone. He glanced out the window still holding her teddy bear and saw a blonde haired girl with a long gown ripped to shreds walking down the street looking as if she had been lost. She stopped in front of their door and stood there staring seeming as if she hadn't recognized where she was.

"Poor thing she must be homeless, perhaps a change of clothes and food won't hurt her" Said Mr.Davis aloud. He placed the teddy bear down on the dresser and went downstairs to open the door for the lost girl. She looked very afraid and backed away from him attempting to run but she was stopped by the sound of someone repeating the name Miracle. She stepped closer and placed her hand on his chest and closed her eyes. He stood there confused as to what she was doing until she finally spoke. "Miracle" she said lowly.

He nodded his head and watched as she placed her ear against his chest and listened for his heart beat. She looked at him and tilted her head observing him and touched his hand. "Miracle" She said placing her hand on her chest. "Your name is Miracle?" He questioned. She raised her hand and placed her left hand on her chest and repeated, "Miracle". He pulled her inside and closed the door behind them.

She observed the house and went upstairs into the room that had been empty for the last 5-6 years. He followed behind her and stood in the door way as she felt the texture of every object she found interesting. She could hear a voice in her head that repeatedly said "Miracle". She looked over at Mr.Davis and finally said, "I am Miracle". She hugged him and whispered in his ear something he hadn't heard in a long time, "Dad".
