The Sister of an Only Child

Missed You

Abbey's POV

I woke up early.

Dawn was on her bed still sleeping.

I wanted to confront her, but I'm afraid she'll get angry to me.

I went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast, the horror still didn't leave my head, I poured some milk to my cereal and went to the couch to watch TV. I just noticed there was a picture frame located above the TV. I didn't notice this pic last week, it was a picture of Dawn and her bestfriend Abbigail. Her childhood bestfriend, we had the same name.

"Put that down!"

Dawn surprised me, I returned the pic and went back to the sofa,

"Where is she now?" I manage to ask.

"I don't know, I never heard anything from her since they moved last 2010." Dawn answered.

"Moved where?"

She nodded her I don't know again.

🔪🔪🔪

Dawn left the house after lunch, she said she will be hanging out with friends.

This is my chance to investigate again. I am curious about her bestfriend, because I knew Dawn, if she doesn't want to talk about something she'd just pretend she doesn't know anything, and with that, it must be something that affects her most.

I scanned our room, I must find a contact to Abbigail, I searched for her laptop, nothing, her diary, nothing, her school notebooks, still nothing. I went to her dressing room and scanned the drawers. I scanned everywhere, until I notice something in her dressing room, there was a crack on the wall, it will appear unnoticeable when the clothes are hanged, I scratched the wall again, I tried to knock on it, it produces a hollow sound which means there's something in it. I searched for some opening, touched an edge and scratched it again. I manage to find a small opening, it seems like a box. I removed it and put my hand inside, and then there was a torn newspaper together with two torn papers that looked like from Dawn's diary it was hidden underneath, I picked it. The old newspaper article is about some girl who's missing. I read the article,

April 20, 2010

whaaaaaaat??? Abbigail is missing? all this time she is missing?

Why did Dawn lied? she said they moved to another town.

This can't be.

I continued to read the two torn papers together with the torn page of the article.

----

She looked me in the eye, I cried. I never wanted to do this. I just watched her and did nothing to help her, I was paralyzed. I don't know what to do. Then uncle spoke, "I know so many things about you little girl, my neice always talked about you. I know you are smart that's why I chose you to be the brain of my masterpiece. Your life won't be wasted for it will contribute so much for my work." Abbey just cried, her lips were taped, she groaned, tried to scream, she looked at me with painful eyes. I have betrayed her. she was my only friend, my bestfriend. I am so bad for letting this happen to her. I tried to convince my uncle not her please not her, but he did not listen he even slapped me. He kidnapped Abbey this afternoon, but I was not with him because I was tied and trapped in his warehouse. I was shocked when I discovered that the first victim I will be witnessing to be dead will be my bestfriend Abbey.

----

We started the operation, uncle didn't let me touch any skin of Abbey, I also wouldn't  touch her, I have caused her so much pain, this is all my fault, if I just didn't talked about her she would be still alive right now. I'm so sad right now, but I'm glad mom is out of town again or else she would hear me mourn and she'd be curious why, I might slip my tongue and tell her about uncle's dirty secret. Why can't I do something to stop this? I want to keep my mom alive, and I also want my uncle to be cured, I think he's been really depressed over something, he is insane but he's still my uncle and he'd been good to me when I was still little, something is wrong with him I have to seek help. But where?

Dawn.

----

Oh nooo! This is really making me crazy! Abbigail is dead?

Dawn must have experienced trauma for all of those horrible things.

My hands were sweating and shaking, I can feel my blood rush through all of my nerves.

I returned everything in the box and arranged the clothes like how it looked before so that it would look like it was never touch.

It's already 5 in the afternoon, Dawn will be home soon, I must calm myself. I made myself a lemonade juice, I'm still puzzled from all the discovery, I remembered there's still one page from Dawn's Diary that I have not yet read so I finished my lemonade and headed to my bedroom to get my phone.

Dawn also arrived,

"Helooor Sissy, what's up? You look haggard."

"What? Uh yeah, I went biking. Wew, so tired. want some lemonade?" -I lied.

Dawn just smiled and went straight to her bed, but she picked up my phone and scanned over it I was so shocked I shouted, "Drop that!"

She was confused. "Relax. I'm just going to play some music."

I insisted to grab my phone but she held it so tight, she scanned my gallery, Oh God this is really the end of me if she'll see the pic I took from her diary. She connected my phone to her laptop and copied some music. A message box suddenly appeared: it says "VIRUS DETECTED" , "OH crap Abbey, you gotta clean your phone you might affect my lappy, tsss"

She clicked the word "FORMAT" and I'm really doomed. I lost the last page. I guess this would be a very long puzzle for me. Invading her diary again would be risky, I hope it is still under her bed.
