The Forgotten Room Chapter 5

𝐋𝐢𝐚

We have to do something

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

She wants to leave. But she doesn’t have an ID. No records.

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Of course… to the world, she doesn’t exist

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

And if we tell the police, they’ll arrest our parents

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Maybe they should👀

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

But what if there’s more to the story?

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Like what??

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

We found another letter

𝐋𝐢𝐚

From who??

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

Dad

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Read it !

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

“Emily can’t be allowed outside. The people who wanted to take her haven’t stopped looking. If she’s found, she’s gone. Forever.”

𝐋𝐢𝐚

What people??

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

No clue..😟

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Is this like witness protection or something?

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

Or something darker??

𝐋𝐢𝐚

We need answers from your mom

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

She just got home

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Ask her now!

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

You talk to Emily. I’ll go down

𝐋𝐢𝐚

She- she is crying...

𝐋𝐢𝐚

I think she’s afraid you’ll leave her again

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Poor girl- 😟😰

𝐋𝐢𝐚

It's okay little girl . Calm down..

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

I'm back

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

I asked Mom

𝐋𝐢𝐚

And???

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

She broke down

𝐋𝐢𝐚

What did she say??

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

That Emily was taken by a group when she was 3. Some weird cult

𝐋𝐢𝐚

WHAT???

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

She and Dad got her back somehow… but the group never stopped searching

𝐋𝐢𝐚

So they hid her to protect her

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

SARA: Yes… but they never told me to keep me safe too

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

And because they were scared I’d tell someone

𝐋𝐢𝐚

Okay this just became a crime drama

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

She said “We saved her once. We couldn’t risk losing her again.”

𝐋𝐢𝐚

That’s tragic but still… hiding her entire life???

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

I don’t agree with it. But I get why they were terrified

𝐋𝐢𝐚

What now?

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

Emily wants to live. Really live.

𝐋𝐢𝐚

She deserves to..

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚

I told Mom… Emily should have a choice
