We were already done eating dinner. Daniel went up to his room to continue his study while mum and dad were seated on the couch in the living room, I and Danielle sat in the dining area since we were already done with the dishes.

I and my twin were talking about how the term is going and some of the funny posts we saw on the internet as we surfed the internet we even talked with Becca and she is holding up very fine.

She didn’t opt-in for the NECO but Daniel did so she said she would be free and would try to make it when it would be convenient for us all and we all agreed to it all.

“Daniella, go take out the trash” I heard dad say and we all turned to look at him, including mum.

“Honey, it's late in the night. Let her take it out tomorrow” mum said and lay back on him but he wasn’t having it and insisted on it.

“No, she has to take it out tonight, I need it out of the house tonight and not tomorrow”

I and Elle looked at each other the

    ***Family’s Perspective*** Danielle got inside the house in a rush and went straight for the kitchen without sparing her mum a glance then came back out with two brooms and a packer and was heading for the door again but was stopped by the voice of her mother. “Where is Daniella? Why did you come alone? Where are you taking those to?” “We kind of spilled it on the floor and wanted to sweep them inside the trash can,” she told her mum and went out of the door immediately without waiting for a response from her. Their mum stood up and walked to the window to check where they are but couldn’t see any of them in view but just the silhouette of Danielle going further in the dark street. A frown graced her brows and she took her phone and went out of the house to go after them. “Why couldn’t they just put it in thi-” she cuts herself off when she didn’t see the trash can that used to be beside their house then looked ahead, in the direction

    “Where is everyone?” I asked myself out loud and continued walking in the dark street of an unknown place. I couldn’t figure out how I saw myself here or how I got to this place or even where this place is. I continued walking in the same direction and was glad that there was a street light to illuminate the road and walkway. There was no car or anyone in view, just me walking in a quiet place and trying not to freak out or cry for help. Seems familiar but I hope there will be no scary man here to make me want to die quickly. When I continued walking, I something upfront and when I squinted my eyes to see it, I noticed it was a car that was parked by the roadside and thought that at least I am not the only one out here. There could be someone there that could help me out and we can get out of this creepy environment together. I walked faster to where the car was and as I got closer, I started having this strange feeling and it

    “We cant go to the police yet” he began.“Why?”“Remember, we have to make sure it is already twenty-four hours before going to report a ‘missing person’case?” he asked her and“But let us just try, who knows we would get favored” she insisted.“I agree with mum on this, I really don’t want my little sister missing again. I am really worried at the moment” Daniel spoke after a while.“Me too, I don’t want my twin to be away from me again,” Danielle said and Deji looked at them both and let out a sigh.“Are you coming with us or not?” Rose asked.“Let's go, but make sure to lock everywhere very well,” he said and they all stood up to go outside of the door.Rose went to the driver’s seat but Deji told her he would drive instead.“No, I can drive.

    It was already past a day and still no sign of Daniella so when it was morning Rose went to the station to make a missing person complaint and since they already had some information they were able to get from her the first night she came to report, they could be able to open the case and start it off immediately.“Madam, we will do our best to ensure that your daughter is found and brought home to you and your family,” the DPO told her.“Alive, I want my daughter to be brought to me alive and well,” she told him “Can you do that? Can you bring my daughter safe and sound to me?” she asked and he sighed.“Madam, we can't promise you anything but we will try our best. It would be great if you can help us with the investigation by being available in case of questioning and staying put” he told her.“Staying put?”“Yes madam, we need to make sure we wouldn't be having another case when w

The therapist I was supposed to see when I was little which whom I am having a weekly session told me not to overthink things too much so it doesn’t affect my daily life and so that I can concentrate on healing from what has happened. Although she said healing might be a bit difficult since I have started having flashes of what happened to me when I was little and it is causing some major trauma for me and it might or might not make me crazy that was why she recommended I shouldn’t think too much about it. So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai

She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
