Hidden Secrets

Prologue:

The mist rolls over the hills, the full moon rises higher in the night sky. The water splashes against the shore and crashes against the sharp rocks that line the coast.  The nocturnal animals awaken to feed and the hibernating snuggles deeper into their homes. The first snow of the season floats slowly to the already frozen ground and by early morning six inches will have covered its cold surface. 

There is a giggle of a young girl sounding somewhere in the distance with each thrill of laughter the sound grows near. Just behind this child is a woman trying to desperately to catch the giggling girl.  The girl keeps checking behind her to see how much of a lead she has on her mother. 

"Josephine" the woman yells after her child

She was becoming annoyed having grown tired of this game when the cold snow had melted its way into her shoes.  At the sound of her name the child stops and turns facing her mother. Thankful the child has stopped the woman goes to her knees, hands stretched out toward her giggling child

"Come to Mommy Josephine", "Let’s go home and get you some hot chocolate"

The mother scoops her child in her arms spinning her until she giggles with pleasure. The woman with child in her arms turns back toward the path leading to their warm home. 

Ten yards away from the end of the path, the house is with in sight, the woman stops.  The little girl looks at her Mother expectantly

"Mommy...” the little girl asks worriedly.

She watches as her mother goes very still and her eyes grow wide with alert. Bright lights began glowing from the trees and spinning around the woman and child.  The woman places the child on her feet,

"Run! Go find Daddy", the woman whispers in her child’s ear.

The child is scared and hesitates as the lights get closer and spin faster.

"Run! Go find Daddy!!" the woman yells

The frightened child runs threw the gate and up to the porch of her house. She reaches for the door knob, but she is too short to open it.  She sits down in front of the door and cries until she sleeps. By morning neither Mother nor Father has returned.

A neighbor going to work spots the child shivering in the doorway.  Authorities are called but there were no leads to the whereabouts of the child’s missing parents.  The child is shipped off to an aunt she didn't know she had. The child will live a life of abuse and torture secretly looking forward to the day she can run away.
