Annie's POV
"Mom?"
"Yes honey." replied my Mom
"Do you hear that screaming?"
"No. It's probably just a dog or something."
We continued driving down the road and stopped off at the newsagents. I bought a pack of gum and my Mom bought some diet cokes for the journey home. When we were leaving I heard the scream again. And so did my Mom.
"That doesn't sound like a dog..." said my Mom
"I know. It sounds like a little child..."
We walked down the road and the scream became clearer. We stopped outside this old, Victorian-looking house. The screaming was louder this time.
Katie's POV
We saw an older looking woman (black hair, brown coat) come out of the house. Annie and I walked around the back and climbed over the backyard fence. We walked over to the door, it was open slightly. Through the gap we could see a small girl, around 10, was crouched in the corner.
Annie's POV
Mom and I crept inside and went straight towards the girl. She looked up at us, she had a giant bruise on her face. Mom kneeled next to her.
"I'm Katie." She said
"I'm Saffron" replied the girl, she looked scared.
"I'm Annie," I said, putting my hand on her shoulder, "are you ok?"
Saffron started telling us about how her dad passed away last Christmas and ever since her mum (the lady in the brown coat) had been abusing her ever since...
