Thread: An Unknown Fate (Reydan and AndNich123)

She was driving when the song came on the radio. It had been her favorite. A thousand memoris flooded her mind. At first they were good ones drawing a smile and laugh from her, but they quickly turned sour as the song only served as a reminder of the sister she had lost. Tina leaned down turning the radio off as she made her way through the picturesque countryside. Why Tina had been so happy to leave the city for this she would never understand. The fresh air was nice, but beyond that there wasnt much else it seemed to offer to her. Tina had to drive 9 miles to get her groceries. It was easier for her to make her own clothing than to make the trips into town to buy them. Tessa hated making this trip, but there was something she simply had to do. Her sister had been gone for so long, and it seemed the efforts to find her had slowed, if not stopped, and she wasnt about to take that lying down. Tessa was as different from her sister as night and day. Tina love this wretched place, the simple life, and was happy in love. Tessa thrived in the city, her life was complicated and full, and she loathed the idea of love. They may have been identical twins, but the similarities stopped at their looks. Despite all their differences, the sisters actually had a loving relationship. Closer than most siblings, they were more than just sisters. They were each others best friend. This past month had been hell on her. It was no secret she was lost without her sister. Tina was the only family she had left. Perhaps that was why the two were so close as they valued family. Either way, Tessa was tired of facing the world alone. No one to share her joys with. No one to console her when the world had slapped her down. She wanted her friend back. She needed her sister back. She pulled the car up in the long drive seeing her sisters car parked where it had been since the police brought it back. For a second it was almost as if she were home, but reality set in. Tessa switched the car off and got out. Graham was standing there at the door, and she cringed thinking it must be hard for him to see her. She made her way up to the stairs opening the door and stepping inside. I know I should have called, but it was a spur of the moment thing to come here. Im sorry. Her study, her office, her place, what was it she called it, she looked around searching for the right words, her private place. Please. Tell me its still the same. She pushed past him heading down the hall. Of course Graham would have left it the same. At least she hoped he had. The door was closed, and as she grasped the doorknob, Tessa took a deep breath before opening it. The room was a messy disarray of her cloth and sewing materials as well as all her other craft projects that she indulged in. Tessas face shattered as the emotions began to take over. Her hand covered her mouth as the tears flowed down her face. I have to.look around. You can stay, but I have to do this. Something just isnt right. Tina wouldnt just walk away. You know it. I know it. Something had to be going on, and I dont know. Maybe theres a clue here. Something. There has to be. She put so much that meant anything to her in this room. This room is her. From those country fabrics over there to that stupid flea market desk that she insisted on buying so she could fix it, this is her. She looks back at Graham pleading. Please. Can I look through her things? What have we got to lose?
