Popsicle Lady.

Popsicle Lady: 5

Another one gone...

Waking up in the morning seemed to be the worst thing ever. The fact that i stayed up so late didn't help in the slightest. But also the fact that i saw the Pop- wait no... i saw Amelia is just so exciting. Getting up i do a little squeal and run downstairs.

Kissing my dad on the cheek i walk to the toaster and put some bread in it, smiling away like a mad woman.

"What's got you so happy this morning?" My sad suspiciously questions, normally i'm dieing and unable to make it downstairs until like 8:10AM and thats when i have to leave.

"Nothing, so.. anything interesting in the news today?" I smile

"Yep, another kidnapping" My smile falters

"Who?"

"Kristie Swan, Aged 14, went missing last night. They think she was abducted from her bedroom at 1PM. But no proof, their pointing fingers at that woman.. whats her face.." He grumbled slightly

"The Popsicle Lady?" I help, watching him nod his head, dread suddenly covers me like a blanket

"I'm not so hungry anymore" I announce and wander upstairs to shower and think. If Kristie did get abducted at 1PM thats minutes before i fell asleep, and minutes before i seen Amelia standing outside my house.. Could she really be the kidnapper?

Quickly jumping in and out of the shower i walk into my room. My mind focusing only on the fact that last night i could have been the one to go missing! Opening my closet up i grab some skinny jeans, Tank Top and my black leather Jacket and slipping on my usual converses i head out.

Walking up the drive-way i recall everything that happened last night, me wanting to be a risk-taker and leaving the house. Walking down my drive-way heading directly for the forest, getting lost and then seeing Amelia.

Screaming slightly, i look down at my phone to see it blaring my currently right now hated song

When i was six years old i broke my leg,

I was runnin' from my brother and his frie- "Hello?" I questions suspiciously, the number unrecognized.

"Hi! It's me Amelia!" Shocked i look down at my phone in surprise. How did she get my number? and right now do i really want to speak with her?

"Oh hey, what's up?"

"Was wondering something actually" The tone in her voice was sending chills down my spine, she sounded harsh.

Humming into the phone for her to continue, i listen intently.

"I've noticed you watching me, from you're window. And now that all the kidnappings have started you decided to come out and follow me.. didn't you." Her tone was thick with menace and accusation.

"Look, i really got to go, i have school." I try to make my voice sound calm and relaxed but it came out shaky and distraught.

"Fine, but listen carefully. If you follow me again Kristie won't be the only one going missing" Was that a threat? Did she literally just threaten me?

"Okay crazy lady, how about you back off Or mark my words i will phone the police. They already blame you for it all so watch you're back" I snap

Hearing a menacing laugh at the other end i hang up and run the rest of the way to my school. Barging in i walk straight past my friends and go to my first lesson.

All through the day i had been thinking non-stop about that phone call. And more specifically about that threat she made. All this is now making me change my oppinion about her.
