[ IP ] Wrong Turn

There was a silence that I have never heard before when I took the wrong turn from my Da, I knew I was in serious trouble, not only when I was found..but what was waiting for me in the shadows of the cold winter night. How could a seven year old girl who has rarely ever been outside past her bedtime make it through such a dark and miserable night where the eyes of her bedtime monsters consume her faith and integrity of her innocent mind? 
 
 `` Must find momma'' she whimpers through her scarf. 
 
 I wander towards what looks to be a million yellow eyes overlooking my every move, being told from a young baby about how monsters were just make believe, I am starting to believe differently. My mind never crosses over what has happened to my daddy, since he is my only daddy, I know he is brave and will be okay. He is looking for me now, I swear it....the arms of the monsters wrap themselves around me, and I am to never been seen again. 
 
 In the morning after last nights events of the night, Daddy stumbles upon foot prints in the freshly fallen snow. It is as if she came here on her own knowing what was going to happen to her, there were no shifting in her prints, only confident steps. There was a tree crested ravine about five miles from the car accident, and her prints stop there... and so do daddy's.
