Alice got home around 5:40pm and went straight to her room filled with pictures of Callie. Every square inch of the room had pictures of her on them. New pictures, old pictures, pictures of her face, pictures of her hands, everything. She stood in the middle of the room, smiling with her hands behind her back walking in small circles, singing her nursery rhyme, looking at the pictures. She had a single tear fall down from her perfect blue eyes.
In her sandy, bloody, delicate hands held a bloody knife and Callie's pale, decapitated head with her pale, smiling, lips sewn shut forever. Callie's brown eyes were bloodshot and she had a huge gash on the side of her face, blood dripped down her face and soon blended in with the gigantic amount of blood from her neck. Her face was covered in sand as well and blood.

The next day at school, Callie wasn't there, or the next, or the next, not even a month later. She'll never be there again.
Callie's body was found a month after going missing with her head missing. She was found a county away, on the beach, from where she was last seen, the bus stop. The police never did find where her head went, and they never will. They believed she died around 4:50pm that day. Her bus usually got to the stop at 3:45. What happened during that time that got her killed? That was the one question the police haven't figured out.
