I picked up the letter and took it in to the front room and opened it, it said
"Dear holly kid binter
I am writing to inform you that your younger sister hope ashleigh-rose binter has been taken to my secret base and shall not be returned until further notice. The reason she has gone will be told to you soon, however i will tell you that you shall NOT come looking for her otherwise she will not be returned. We know you have a friend called John Norbert Hopiert, he will be visited by us but you must not tell him or you could be in serious trouble.
Yours sincerely
L.o.k.a.o.e.b"

I began to cry and cry and cry until i had no water left that could come out so instead i fainted....
