The bro<strong>the</strong>rs cont<strong>in</strong>ued with <strong>the</strong>ir game but <strong>the</strong> elder bro<strong>the</strong>r<br />

felt someth<strong>in</strong>g nagg<strong>in</strong>g at his thoughts. Then he realised what<br />

it was. They had seen her go<strong>in</strong>g up <strong>the</strong> stairs, presumably<br />

just back from school, but she was not <strong>in</strong> school uniform. He<br />

turned aga<strong>in</strong> and saw her <strong>the</strong>re, star<strong>in</strong>g at <strong>the</strong>m and brush<strong>in</strong>g<br />

her hair.<br />

His blood went cold.<br />

Ga<strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g up his courage, he ran towards her. When he made it<br />

to where she had been stand<strong>in</strong>g, she was nowhere <strong>in</strong> sight. He<br />

shouted to his younger bro<strong>the</strong>r, “Where is she?” but <strong>the</strong><br />

younger bro<strong>the</strong>r shouted back,<br />

She just disappeared!”<br />

That’s when <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs got really frightened for his<br />

sister, shot off to school and quickly brought her home. They<br />

went straight back home, where she swore to him that she had<br />

not been out of school <strong>the</strong> whole time.<br />

Ever s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>r always came to pick up his<br />

sister. We could never figure out an explanation for what<br />

happened on that day.<br />
