Missing
Chapter one
So here I was. Alone in a small Arizona town that up until today had housed a bustling community. I have no idea what happened either. I woke up to find everything the way it usually was. Hyperactive brother, overprotective father, working mother. A normal life for a normal girl. My name is Juliet Grim.
“Jules, wake up! Now!”
Juliet Grim woke up this morning like all the rest. With her father making a big fuss over her waking up and taking care of the animals. They could wait and 小时 或者 two, right? But according to him, “They are to be fed at six o’clock sharp every morning without fail!” She chuckled a bit as she imagined him saying that over and over again each 日 she was late. Seemed to me, 由 the sound of that shout, that he was gonna be saying it again. Juliet quickly dressed herself in her usual baby blue jeans, a t-shirt from her small selection, and the bronze 带, 皮带 buckle that she won from the fair a few years back. She considered combing her hair, but decided against it. It would be a mess after taking care of the 动物 anyway, not to mention, she never has been the type to make a fuss over her appearance. The way she figured it, if she had to dress up for a guy to think she was pretty, he was the wrong guy. She finished dressing 由 slipping on a pair of work boots and exited her room. She was shocked to see that her father wasn’t there leaning against the 秒 floor railing, arms crossed, tapping his fingers against his forearm. She walked through the empty house, out into the yard. It was a big property, almost 10 acres. Her family supplied most of the towns produce and dairy. She spotted her mother and 8 年 old brother milking a cow a few feet away and walked towards them. Her mother spotted her coming and waved.
“Hey there, honey! 你 took such a long time getting up, we had to feed the 动物 without you.”
“Ya, sorry about that, Mom. Bet dad must have been pissed.”
“Who, dear? Oh well, doesn’t matter. Could 你 do me a favor, sweetie?”
Juliet frowned. What did she mean ‘who?’, this 日 was beginning to get a little weird. “Sure thing, Mom. What do 你 need?”
“I need 你 to head down to Phil’s store and give him some papers for me. They’re over there 由 the chicken pen.” She said, turning back to taking care of the cow.
“Ok,” Juliet said, while inwardly cringing. Phil’s ‘store’ was a small bar. Normally, she wouldn’t be allowed inside a bar, but this town was a small one and ran on it’s own rules. She really hated having to go there. It always stunk of cigarette smoke, the bartender was always having loud conversations with his unemployed son, Steve, there were always these two big burly men having some contest 或者 other, and the sounds of the daycare across the 街, 街道 always drifted in whenever someone opened the door. Juliet sighed and went to go get the papers.

I'm cheerful on the outside yes, but under this huge hyperfilled, cheerful girl is a fragile antique.
On the outside some see me as normal 或者 energetic maybe the one 苹果 with a hole in the barrel.
I'll plaster a smile every now and then to 显示 the me-the fake me- to disguise the actual one pulling the strings.
As I stand before the mirror starring at myself I see that figure looming behind me his hand on my shoulder.
And at that moment my mask breaks and I'm stunned at my actual self.
I'm filled with depression, sadness, anger and haterid.
Never did I want to ever see the true me.
The mirror breaks and the man 下一个 to me whispers "Your mine." I look down in defeat.
Dropping to the ground-on my knees-I begin to cry.
He got the better of me and now I am no more.
"I'm a monster." I say to myself through a sob.

I am a broken-winged eagle
Who cannot fly
Because I have set no goal for myself.
Other people laugh and scoff at me,
And I know that I must quickly find something
To hope for.
Everyday I think,
"What's the use? Nothing is my talent. Give up."
People think I am nothing but stupid,
But I can see that light within myself.
I have not yet soared.
I have not yet found my dream.
One day, I find something unique to dream for.
Writing.
Something that can take me to faraway places
Anywhere, beyond this universe.
And now I can soar.
Far, far, faraway
Where no one can catch me.
Where no one can disturb me.
Where I can be free.
Where I will no longer be
A broken-winged eagle.

Let us hold hands in joy
Let us sit on the warm white sand
And let us watch the sun set tonight
We're gonna be a pair
We're gonna fly away
And let nobody go into our minds
Toni-i-ight
We're gonna slowly stand up
Listen to the waves
Roar and wash into the sand
And I'm gonna lean on you
Oh where were the times?
Where were the moments?
It seems like last year
When I kissed 你 and locked eyes
The sun's settin
But we're never gonna leave each other
Not if we stay together
Like ever...like forever
Watch the sun set
Watch the waves roll into each other
Oh my dear,
We're gonna never be separated
Sun sets,
Waves roll,
We're gonna sleep...
Side 由 side.
