I was twelve years old at the time. My sister of six years and I were playing hide and go seek. She was the seeker so I ran to where she would never expect. At the time my parents went grocery shopping. They thought I was very responsible, so I was babysitting her.
I hide under their bed at the end of the hall. We really weren't supost to come in there but they weren't home so I thought it was fine. I'm laying there, waiting for her little foot steps and i feel something at my feet.
I shimmy to the end of the bed to find a big stack of file folders and news clippings from 96'. One collum read 'missing persons report'. I was a bit confused so I kept going through the papers until I came across something so unsettling.
Infront of me was my school pictures and a lot more of my baby pictures. I got an adrenalin rush and read another collum from ten years ago.
'missing persons report update, Adaline Marge, one years old has been missing for five months. Parents to the child are Michael and Cara Marge. If you have seen this little girl please call 651-221.'
My name was on the clipping. The front door closing took me out of my shocked stage. I had to get out of here.
I gather up the files and run to my room and hide them.
