Annie Blue

Chapter 1; The living of today

You won't believe me but I ,Annie Blue was a detective . At the age of ten I solved my first mystery something I would like to call "The Treasure of the Blues".

People believed that my parents had died when I was at the age of two. So I lived with my two uncles and my aunt. My aunt's name was Josie and her husband was my uncle Ben ;my uncle Robert also lived with us (my dad's brothers are my uncle Ben and uncle Robert ). We lived on an isolated mansion on top of a hill. People say that the house used to belong to my parents .

When I was four years old my uncle gave me a pet guinea pig . I called it strawberry because it had a strawberry shaped patch on it's stomach. All through out the day I used to sit on the window sill and talk with it. I was normally contempt to call her my best friend, as I only had a few as a result of my backwardness in society.

It all started on one stormy night the night of my ninth birthday , to be precise. I was staring up at the wall , till suddenly a shadow loomed over me. Just as I was getting ready to scream the man or so I thought said in a kind manner "please don't scream ,we are your family ...." Although I couldn't see anyone else I got the sudden feeling that he was being honest in his words. As he touched my forehead and wished me a happy birthday I realized I had gone through this earlier. As he sang a lullaby he placed a picture into my hands and slowly left through the balcony window.

When I woke up in the morning of the following day, I forgot the happenings of the previous night ,but slowly as I noticed the picture I was clutching , everything came back to me. In that picture the man I saw last night and another women stood beside a small child which I recognized as me. As I was staring at this picture I didn't notice my uncle Ben coming in. When he saw the picture he frowned and questioned me. The hunch that came upon me at that moment told me that this should be a secret shared between me and the man.So, I didn't tell him the incident that occurred , and instead told him in a crying manner that I found it on the floor . Since he thought I was burdened at his questions he said no more.

For a month or so I didn't see my parents and I began to loose hope of ever seeing them again. Until one day when I was playing with Strawberry I noticed a large rabbit hole . As I was peeping inside wondering how long it would go I lost my balance at fell right in. I must have hit something on the way down and lost my consciousness .

When I woke up I was greeted by two people,one I recalled as the man I met earlier and the other looked remotely familiar as though she was my ........mum. As I sat eating jam tarts with them they told me a story;a story of the past, my past .....
