The world was dark- but why? I'm pretty sure I would l remember. My eyes are closed, I should probably open them- there might be light. It’s so bright- wait no it’s dim. Where am I? The surface I am on feels rough and hard. Wood? It seems damp- same as the air. There’s no noise? Wait I can hear the wind now. My senses are slowly returning to me, I think I’m on a dock. Why am I here again? I’m pretty sure I didn’t fall asleep. That’s right- I was going fishing with my sister. Wait where is she?! I promised mom I would keep her safe. Mom. I miss her. Why did she have to leave us. Wait I need to focus. Why is everything blurry? I see clouds and trees on the other side of the lake I think. I need to try to speak.

“Ah- Avelyn?"

Avelyn. Why is that name in my head? Who I Avelyn? Doesn't sound familiar...have I met her? Is she the reason I'm here?

"Avelyn..no...Nancy."

Navy I remember that name now. Nancy is my little sister. I have so many questions. Maybe if I try and sit up? My arms feel weak. The floor is starting to feel harder and I’m becoming sore. Where is Avelyn? WHO is Avelyn?? I’m getting angry now.

“Nancy? Nancy?? Nancy??!!?”

Why is it so hard to speak? I think I was knocked out while fishing…the last thing I remember though was re-tying on the bait. That’s right! I ran out of it so Nancy said she was going to grab some more. Did someone take her?? Whoever it is is gonna pay. I’m not one to break my promises.

“Nancy…”

Why is it harder to speak now?? Wait, everything is getting darker. Wait no! I have to…protect…my sister……..

….Avelyn…..
