Disappear Mayhem

Chapter One

5 year old Stephanie was outside the yard playing with the neighbour's son Derick . Stephanie was light toned, with pink lips , long blonde hair and emerald green eyes . Derick on the other hand was light toned with black hair and  grey eyes .
Derick loved to play with Stephanie since he had no sisters . Mrs oliver soon came with apple juice for the kids ,

"here is apple juice for you both , and Derick your parents just called to say they would be coming soon ", Mrs Olivier said handing them their drinks and leaving.
Derick picked up his drink and sipped a little .

"No , No, Derick, one more round before the break", Stephanie said putting down his glass.

" No I'm tired , I don't want to play anymore , break before another round", Derick said pushing his glass back into his mouth.

" No, I don't want to be your friend anymore ", Stephanie said slightly pushing him by his shoulders .

" your not my Mummy , so you can't boss my around ", Derick said as he stared into Stephanie's eyes , and Stephanie blinked directly at him . Opening her eyes , she couldn't see him anywhere around the yard .
She reached for her juice , grabbed it and went indoors .
She saw her mum on the dining table with 3 year old Alex .

"Has Derick gone already ", Mrs Olivier asked pouring more milk to Alex's cereal .

"It seems so ", Stephanie said.

"Strange , Helen didn't stop to say hello", Mrs Olivier said .

"Steph is lying , she's probably at loggerheads with Derick ", Alex said before putting a spoonful of cereals in his mouth.

" Just shut up , he left ", Stephanie said as she stormed upstairs for her room .

She went to her room , and shut the door . She went to her window and looked out the window , but she couldn't see Derick on his way to his house , at his courtyard or watering his little garden .

Stephanie loved to watch him water his garden . It had strawberries , grapes , carrots and cabbages . It was his personal garden , and he always took care of it especially when he had a misunderstanding with her. She saw the garden empty , and just then , she heard a knock on the door . It was Mrs Olivier .

" Helen called ,she said she would be here in a minute for Derick , but you told me earlier that he left ", Mrs Olivier asked looking puzzled .

" I said he left mum, because he left ", Stephanie said .

" with who ? Did Helen come pick him up ", Mrs Olivier asked .

" He left on his own ", Stephanie explained .

" You let him leave , you should have told me earlier , Alex was right ", Mrs Olivier said running out of Stephanie's room .

Helen and her husband came looking for Derick , but he was no where to be found . They searched for him but never found him .
