Feenin': The Ballad of DeVante and Serafina

Chapter Thirty-One: "We Found Her...."

WHITLEY POV

It has been two months since Serafina went missing. I can't believe this is happening! The police have no leads, she hasn't called anyone and I'm scared to death for my baby sister. I hope nothing happened to her.....I don't know how I would deal with this.

T-BOZ POV

I was finishing writing up lyrics for "Unpretty" when I saw two Detectives knocking on the door. I slowly made my way over to them and invited them inside. Left-Eye and Chilli looked nervous too.

Me: Um, hello.

Detective Woodworth: My name is Detective Woodworth, this is my partner Detective Mandrake. Are you Tionne Watkins?

Me: Yes.

Detective Mandrake: Could you come with us please?

I instantly became emotional.

Me: Why?

Left-Eye: We ain't goin' no-muthafucking where until you tell us what's up!

Chilli: Is this about Serafina?

Detective Woodworth: Ladies, please come with us.

We sighed and got in the car along with Dalvin, K-Ci, JoJo, and Magoo. Two hours later, we were at a rest area that had been covered with crime scene tape, forensic scientists, police officers and a worried crowd of spectators. I held my girls hands as we got out of the car. Two people in uniforms were struggling to cut apart the bushes...after ten minutes....a woman's arm stuck out. Chilli screamed! They carefully put the body on the gurney and wheeled her back up on the hill where everyone was waiting. When I got a closer look, I lost it. That was Serafina.

Me (crying): NO...NO!!! OH MY GOD NO!!! THAT'S NOT SERAFINA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

I cried in Dalvin's arms. He held me tightly, tears running down his face.

Even the people who didn't know Serafina were crying. One man pointed at her and everyone got quiet.

Man: Wait a minute, she's moving!

We looked closer and realized that Serafina's fingers were indeed moving! She opened one of her eyes and looked at Dalvin before the paramedics took her away. How the hell did she survive that fall?

FIVE DAYS LATER...

I'm glad that my girl is alive and well! The doctor says that she has to be one of the luckiest individuals he had ever met in his 30 years of practice. He explained to us that when Serafina fell over, the bushes actually made her fall less dangerous. She caught a concussion falling on the rocks so hard and broke her pelvis on the way down. Unfortunately, she's paralyzed from the waist down but she's still living and breathing. She'll have to undergo physical therapy, but Serafina will live and breathe again, and that's all that matters.
