~Gone; A Short Thriller~ ~Gone~ By Sarah C Styman "I have seen unspeakable things in my #life..."Shaking my head I throw the flyer to the ground ignoring it as I head toward Central Station, there had been rumours ever since I was a young girl about children vanishing at the dead of night. Walking toward the station I hear the sound of a child's soft sobbing; turning I frown and head in the direction of the sobbing, knowing that if I don't find out where it was coming from it will haunt me forever. I continue to follow the sounds toward a darkened alley, the full#moonshining down from above lighting my way, I can feel my heartbeat starting to race, as fear for the child enters my mind, my pace increasing with every step I take. I try and get to where the sound was coming from as fast as I can. Turning the corner I come to a stop, my eyes going wide at what I see; a small discarded shirt on the ground. Making my way toward it, I scoop it up. Examining the shirt I notice a small imperfection in the uppermost breast pocket. Raising the shirt to my nose I take a long inhaling breath as I try to determine the substance of the stain. The stain carries no scent but the colouring looks like dried blood scrunching up my face and move the shirt away. "Who do you belong to?" I say to myself as I look around the alleyway, I realize the sound of the sobbing had ceased. I look around the alleyway once more, before turning and heading back to the station at a brisk pace, the shirt still held tight in my hand. I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching me as I head back to the station, trying to push past the feeling of fear for the child, I know I have to go to the police station to report what I found, it might be nothing but for all I know there's a scared child out there that has been hurt and who knows if anyone's out looking. As I raise my eyes and look up the steps of Central Station I take a long slow calming breath, the anger I feel at the situation finally catching up to me as I growl out the words "Not. In. My. Town". With the shirt tightly in my grip I turn from the station and venture back toward the alleyway, there has to be something there, some little clue that can tell me what was going on, I want to find out as much as I can before I report it to the police, I know they wouldn't take it seriously if I just turned up with an old child's shirt and no evidence. "This can't be right" I say when I walk into the mouth of the alleyway to see another piece of discarded clothing on the ground, moving toward it I pick it up a frown crossing my brow when I recognize it as a pair of children's sized jeans, glancing at the tag I see that it's the same brand and size as the shirt "They match" I breathe out as I place the jeans in the same hand as the shirt. "Are you okay miss?" A voice says from behind me causing me to whirl around, coming face-to-face with a woman, I take a step back, she couldn't be much older than I, perhaps in her mid 20's, but that's not what made me take a step back. Her eyes were wide with fear, she looked to the clothing in my hands than back to my eyes, as I say "Where is the child?" I frown deeper when she says nothing, raising the clothing higher I shake them, my voice becoming angrier with every word, "You KNOW where the child is". She looks to me shaking her head before turning toward the mouth of the alleyway her words filter back to me "No. You know, where the child is". I stand in the alleyway watching night turn to day, nothing happens the women doesn't return and no more clothing appears. I turn from the alley the light making me blink as I finally head toward the station, the clothes held tightly in my hands, and they will lead me to the child. When I returned to my home I felt a smile spread out on my lips, I held the clothes in my hand as I opened the door with the other. "Mummy's home" I say to my children as I walk into their room, "and I brought you a new brother" I continue to say as I walk to the far wall and the only vacant space in the room. Reaching toward the windowsill I pick up several thumb-tacks, Holding the shirt up against the wall I tack it there, doing the same to the jeans before reaching out and picking up a piece of blue chalk. I begin to hum a lullaby as I outline my new son's body on the wall. Placing the chalk back on the windowsill I walk backward until I can see the entire room, the smile spreads out on my lips as I look around the room at all of my children, the dozen outfits line the wall, chalk outlines of their bodies and shoes lined up against the wall. Everything for my children's room is perfect. Everything that is except my newest son, he has no shoes. "Mummy will be back soon" I say as I step out of the room. Closing the door behind me I head out the front door, knowing that I'll need to find some shoes for my new son, and I know just where to head. ~The End~

~Ambitions; Part 10~ The next morning i woke early. I showered and got dressed then headed to Dimitri's room. I was going to tell him that because we are leaving together we may as well just share a hotel room so that we can save money. I walked over to Dimitri's room and knocked on the door. I waited. He didn't answer. I knocked again. Five minutes passed and still there was no Dimitri. I gave up and headed back to my room. I sat on the couch, and waited. Maybe he changed his mind? i thought He left me. I sat waiting for what seemed like hours,thinking about Dimitri. I was pulled from my thoughts by a knock at the door. I waited for the person at the door to announce them self but they didn't. "who is it?" i said "Anna, it's me" said Dimitri I went and opened the door to let him in. He walked through, i closed the door behind him, then hugged him. "I thought you left me" I said realising after i said it that i really had thought he left me. "I would never leave you" he said as he hugged me in return. "I went to your room , and you weren't there and..." Dimitri cut in "I went out to pick up breakfast" he said. I noticed for the first time that he had some bags on him. "Oh" i said my face going red He put the bags on the table. I followed him to the kitchen area. "So what are we having?" I asked "The whole feast" he said i laughed "the whole feast. that sounds big" "i wasn't sure what you liked so..." he indicated the food he'd set on the table My eyes widened at the amount of food on the table. Eggs, Bacon, Sausages, Toast, Rolls, Cereal, Bagles, and fruit. We sat at the table. I liked sitting at the breakfast table with him, it was comfortable. "I could get used to this" I said "Well you better, because from now on it's just you and me" Knock Knock... There was a knock at the door. It startled us out of our blissful haze.

A Family Moment Sitting in the lounge room of our home I look at Alystair and Constantine's toys strewn around the place I can't help the sigh that escapes me as I get to my feet and start cleaning the room for what feels like the millionth time. Alec is busy in the kitchen fixing dinner as he does every night, my cooking hadn't improved much over the past eight years and I wondered where Roberto got his talent from. His father of course, there was barely a thing he couldn't do. Sighing I reach down gathering the Lego pieces and putting them into a pile, ensuring to keep Constantine and Alystair's pieces. All of the green, yellow and white ones belonged to Constantine, while the darker red, black and blues belonged to Alystair. When I reach for the Lego the boys dubbed their 'masterpiece' I frown when it can't be removed from the hard wood floors, grasping it tightly I give it a hard yank, the Lego still holding firm to the ground. "You little terrors" I mutter to myself when I realize they have super glued it to the floor. Standing back at my full height I make my voice as stern as I can when I say "Constantine Alec and Alystair Jace, lounge room now!" I can sense their shock at my tone, it was not one I used often with them, but it was one they recognized as an authority in our house, it doesn't take more than a minute for the two of them to come bounding into the room, the amount of energy they radiated in a day could power an entire country for a year, if not more. With my hands on my hips I raise my eyebrow as I look from each of the boys to the Lego 'masterpiece' glued to the floor, Constantine lowers his gaze to the ground guilt crossing his features, Alystair's face remaining impassive as he says "We didn't do it mamã, it was Aric and Abigail" I raise my eyebrow higher as I say "Oh really? Are you sure about that? They haven't been to visit for a few days. Alystair's eyes go wide and he shakes his head ferociously as he says "Wait no, I remember it was Arianna and Aeron" his eyes dart around the room looking everywhere but at me and I can't help the small grin that forms on my mouth, he reminds me so much of myself when I was younger, always trying to shift the blame on someone else. Well if that is the case I say to him and Constantine "I guess your cousins can't come and play anymore." Constantine's head snaps up, his eyes wide and mouth open as he gapes at me before saying "It wasn't them mamã, it was Tempest and Dominic! They came and brought the glue, and they said it would be funny," his voice rises with every word and I am almost inclined to believe him, if it weren't for the grin Alystair was giving him as they communicated through our family link, they had yet to master their personal link fully and I could hear them as they spoke Alystair "See I told you mama would believe you" Constantine "I don't know Aly, she looks pretty mad" "mamã is never mad at you, only me" "Not true! Remember when I painted the wolf? mama was super mad" Alystair's face breaks into a grin before he starts laughing. Pretending that I didn't hear the exchange between them I keep my hands firmly on my hips as I look down to them. The three of us stare at each other and I let out a sigh knowing they got their stubbornness from me before laughing and pulling them both into a hug. Squeezing them tightly I close my eyes as I hold two of my three sons to me, #life was almost perfect on the isle now. I had my children who I loved more than #life itself, my amazing charming devoted husband and my wolves, what more could I really want? When the boys pull back from me, I lean forward and kiss both their cheeks the combined "ew mamã"'s making me tear up as I realize they are growing up so fast. Resting back on my heels I look to the Lego still glued to the floor as I say "Tino, Aly put your Lego away and go wash up for dinner", they grumble and slowly walk to their Lego, dragging thei feet every step before picking it up and leaving the room No more than five minutes later Alec calls to us all, "Katty, boys dinner is ready" I walk into the kitchen, seeing Alec standing at the head of the table I let out an appreciative growl as I grin at him wickedly before moving toward him so quickly he barely has time to put the pot of spaghetti down and wrap his arms around me. Tilting my face up to his I get onto the tips of my toes and brush my lips across his lightly before deepening the kiss, his hand moves to the nape of my neck, and base of my back as he holds me to him. Our kiss is broken by the sound of the boys "ew mamã tatã", as they enter the kitchen and take up their chairs at the table, Alec and I let out matching laughs as we take our seats at the table, Alec dishing out the dinner for us all, we sit together and enjoy another family meal...

Being at a heaven The clouds parted as the sun slowly begun to shine through, it had been weeks since the sky's were void of activity. The young girl stared at the sky waiting for the lightning to crack, she didn't know how she knew it but she felt deep in her soul that the sunshine wouldn't hold out, they were in for more storms. Storms to a biblical proportion, ones that the country wouldn't be able to withstand. The girl closes her eyes breathing in the scent of the impending rain as she loses herself in her mind, in her own personal heaven. Reaching into her subconscious the girl calls forth her favourite memory, it was a memory of when she was younger a time when her world was right. Her mother was alive, her little sister was not sick and her father was an honourable man. It was before the rains began. Her memory flows through her mind giving her more comfort than anything in the living world could. Her mothers bright smiling face looked down upon her, love radiating from her gaze as she reaches down and picks her up, the girl wraps her arms and legs around her mother as she says "I love you mama" she leans back and kisses the tip of her mothers nose just before her mother replies with "As I love you, my little angel". The girl closes her eyes and leans back against her mothers chest, listening to the sound of her heartbeat as it slowly soothes and comforts her almost to the point of sleep. The loud rumble of thunder drags the young girl out of her memories throwing her into the bleak and harsh present, she looks up at the sky just in time to see the sky light up as a long streak of lightning crashes through the sky. Her eyes no longer go wide as they used to when she was younger but dim more each time the thunder rolls, she turns and walks back into the house wondering which of her family the rains would take this time.
