She tripped on a large rock, barely noticeable on the mucky ground and in moments her kidnapper was upon her. She couldn’t scream. She couldn’t breathe. She cried, and in the final moments before death she murmured a faint sound. “Mommy”
Stabbed viciously and beaten long after her death had come in blind, raging fury, her attacker stood from the mess in front of them.

They got in a fight again, but I though she came inside a long time ago.” Duncan stuttered up at his mother. “Is she okay?” He and his cousin had grown very close over the last year.

At six I called the kids in to eat and Phoebe never returned with the others. She still hasn’t returned. I’m awfully worried.” Maureen had started to cry. She was overly protective of her young niece ever since she had lost her sister. Pheobe resembled her mother so perfectly. The young tyke was shaping up to be like her mother everyday, in kindness, beauty and strength.
“Calm down missy. I will send out a party to search as soon as I can and you just get some rest. She probably just wandered too far and got lost in the fields. I’ll see you in the morn where we can look further into details and maybe search a little harder.”
“All right. I will try. Keep me updated if you find anything though.”
“We’ll be over in minutes if we find anything tonight
