Where She Went

Where it all started

Hey. I'm Mia. You may know me as the runaway girl. But my story is a little more complicated than that. It all started on October 31, 2002. I was 13 when it happened.

"Mia! You have a phone call!" My dad shouted from the living room.
"One minute!" I yelled back. I finished putting my costume on and ran downstairs to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Mia! Are we still going trick or treating?" Kayla asked me.
Kayla was my best friend, and looking back... I shouldn't have answered the way I did.
"Yes! Of course!" I responded excitedly. " I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
You see, Kayla and I had a tradition. Every Halloween we would put together a matching costume and go trick or treating. This year was my favorite one yet. We had decided to dress up as Tom and Jerry. Me being the shorter one, we had decided that I would be Jerry. Anyways, back to the story.

"Great!" Kayla squealed happily. " See you tonight!"
"See ya!" I said. I hung up.
I finished putting the finishing touches on with the help of my mom.
"See you in a bit!" My dad called from the living room.
"Stay safe honey!" My mom said to me.
"Yeah, yeah I know mom." I said.
"I mean it!" She said jokingly.
I walked out the door, and the fun began.
We hit so many houses that our bags were over flowing. It seemed so perfect. But then we heard a scream. A scream so chilling that it sent shivers down my body. We whipped around and saw someone on the ground screaming. Then we saw the blood. We ran up to the kid. It was obvious that she was going to die. The stab wound was horrendous. We managed to ask her who did it. She responded, in a hoarse whisper,"The one in the Jerry costume." Her eyes widened as she saw my costume. But with that. She was silent. The look of horror plastered on her face forever.
