(Edith)

I glanced up at the cafeteria doors, waiting for her to show up. One final check wouldn't hurt.. would it? I sighed, realizing Angie wasn't coming.

The last time I saw her was yesterday. Angie had gotten up, a panicked look on her face and ran out. I wanted to follow her but I knew she wouldn't say anything, even if I asked her. For the last two days before yesterday- minus the weekend -she ran off every time at 11:30. After I had dumped the remaining leftovers, I went to the library to see if she was there.

She wasn't..

Going outside, I took out a picture containing her. "Sis, where are you?"

After school came and it was time to go home. I had stayed behind for my 8th hour class but before I went in, I got a text from Mom.

"Something came up so go to your tia's house. Meet u there" was what she wrote. I nodded, replying with an "ok."

I told the teacher and she nodded, saying that I can leave her class.

By the tie I got to the house, a bunch of reporters came at me, asking and demanding questions. Fuck.. My... Life....

I started to run, hoping to avoid them. But they were hot on my heels.

Running to the house, I managed to get in, breathing hard due to the running.

Although the house was empty as I searched for my aunt Lucy, something felt off. The last thing I needed was for someone to scare the living hell out of me. Checking everything, I realized I forgotten something.

The attic.

Going up there, I had a bad feeling. Just as I went in the small space, a loud bang came from behind. Having the urge to check, the fear I had began to grow bigger as I walked towards it.

Another bang came from behind. I didn't know where to look first but had a feeling it was bad. Oh fuck..

My guts told me to go to the first spot.

Just as I was about to go, a hand was on my shoulder. "AHHH!!" I screamed, jumping back.

Turning around, I found Melanie standing there, behind me. "God dammit, Mel. Really?" I asked her, a bit mad at her. "Sorry, I thought you were a reporter. They had tried to break in when they saw me."

"Really? They tried to break in?" I questioned, but before she could reply, a crowd of voices came all at once, then stopped.

"Edith?" My Tia Lucy called out, trying to find me.  We both went downstairs and stood in the hall. Mel called out to her, walking over to the kitchen, "Si, Ma?"

Her mom turned around, startled and nearly dropped the eggs. "Melanie, no me asustes! You nearly made me drop los huevos."

"Sorry, Mami. I also scared Edith as well." Mel turned to me, smiling a bit. I sighed, saying that it was ok.

I now had a bit of hope left for my sister..
