The Lost One

Chapter 3

I wake up to bells ringing. I open my eyes sleepily and look around. There's a church nearby and two people run out wearing a wedding dress and a tux. The church bells ringing celebrating a wedding.

I rub my eyes sleepily and sit up straight. "Three more stops and then the bus will go back to its original first stop." The bus driver says over the speaker. I look around the bus and see only five people on board.

Ok, three more stops and I'll be closer to finding my parents. I grab a granola bar from my backpack and start eating.

After the bus stops three times I get off. The bus drives away and I walk to a bus stop. I look at the destinations it'll take and realize that none of them is going to take me to the place that I wanted to go to.

I groan in frustration and walk to the nearest town. The town is buzzing with excitement and it kinda makes me smile for a moment. I get tapped by the shoulder. I turn around. There's an adult with his phone out.

"Sorry to disturb you, but I couldn't help and notice that you look a lot like this girl." He says pointing to a picture. I look at the picture. There's a picture of me and my parents in an article. In bold letter it says 'Missing: Mother, Father and Daughter. Please notify the police if you see them.'

I try to show no emotion and keep my voice calm and collected when I talk. "Sorry, that's not me. You got the wrong person." I tell him. I begin to walk away and don't look back. Hoping he would just leave me alone.

"Are you sure?! If it is you, I can help." He offers walking up to me. I get annoyed by this person. "No, it's not. Go and bother someone else." I says. I begin to walk faster and turn a corner. Crowds of people are there and it's hard for me to move.

I turn around to see if he is still following me, but see only other people. I sigh in relief and walk faster. My parents really are missing. I will find them, but first I'll need to find this David Summers.

I walk to the edge of the crowd so I won't suffocate from being around so many people. As I walk, I feel a hand cover my mouth. My eyes widen as I'm pulled into an alleyway. When the hand is removed, I get ready to scream until I see who dragged me here.

A girl with long brown hair and purple eyes. A white daisy behind her ear. A green diamond necklace that goes with her purple and white dress. A black bow and black diamonds at the bottom of her dress with high heels boots that are purple and black.

There's a scowl on her face. "What are you doing here?!" She asked angrily. I stare at her blankly. "I'm just trying to find my parents." I said unsure of what she meant.

"I can't believe you! After six... no eight years, you come back!" She yells. She puts her hands on her hips, while I stare at her blankly. What is she talking about? Unsure of what's happening, I ask a dumb question.

"Who are you?" I ask dumbly.

She shakes her head. "I'm Monica, but why would you of all people remember me. You were mostly obsessed with David." She mutters angrily.

The mention of David reminded me of what I came here in the first place. "Do you know David? David Summers? I need his help." I asked her, practically begging her to know the David I need to find.

Monica made a frown. "Of course I know David and why would you refer him to 'David Summers' you never liked his last name." She told me.

I get angry at the fact that she is talking to me like she knows me and I need something very bad to her, when I don't even know her.
