… but how could she just disappear…, by Faith

One afternoon my dad said he would take me and my friend to the park, so after lunch we got ready and went.

When we arrived, it was quite busy on all the equipment so instead we played hide and seek. I counted to twenty and tried to find my friend, but I couldn’t find her. I thought I has searched everywhere and even asked dad if he had seen her, but he hadn’t.

But how could she just disappear I thought, then from a bush running and screaming came my friend as a spider had crawled on her arm.

We were in the deep, dark, gloomy woods; so many paths to choose from. We just couldn’t decide. It was just at this very moment we realized Stephanie had gone, “But how could she just disappear,” We all shrieked. One went this way; one went that way. Nowhere to be seen. Terrified. I stopped. No one could see her. Martin checked the time on his phone, it was 16:59. The BLOOD MOON! Any moment now the clouds would part. 5 seconds had passed, “Here we go...” The clouds separated; there she was stood on the hill opposite the moon-lit lake.

“I told you this was a bad idea,” Sarah exclaimed in a cross way “I am sure it will be fine we will get home after we find that treasure,” I sighed as if I have told her a million times before. “This cave gives me the creeps,” Sarah added. The small narrow cave was far from their home - how will they get back? What will they do?

“Sarah watch out!” I exclaimed.

She disappeared.

I ran out of the cave following one straight path. I saw rescue searchers I tried to explain as they questioned “But how could she just disappear?”

I was at home and it was a very stormy night and there was an old lady outside. She was just walking there and back. I went outside to see if she was alright, but she walked right through me. And the next thing you know she disappeared...but how could she disappear I was wondering. I was so scared I ran inside and called 999. They told me that the lady was an evil spirit and she would haunt people who lived on the street where she died. I shouted at my parents that we should move, and we did.

On a Friday morning, a boy named William was playing football with his friend Alex and they heard a big loud bang. They saw their friend called Evie and they walked over to her. “How are you today?”

She quickly answered, “Well I came outside, and I heard a bang, so I ended up here.”

They all walked together to where they heard the noise. Suddenly Evie disappeared and nobody knew where. “I guess Evie’s gone,” Alex said.

“But how could she just disappear Alex?” William answered.

“Let’s go and find her,” Alex replied.

“Okay, let’s go then.”

Thank goodness it’s Friday night. My cousin has just arrived for a sleepover we have been planning for weeks. Firstly, we decided to make some slime. We went upstairs to my bedroom to get the ingredients we need for slime. We set everything out to see if we had forgotten anything. “The glue,” I said. I ran back upstairs, got the glue and ran back down. She was gone. But how could she disappear? I looked under the table, she wasn’t there. I looked in the cupboard, she wasn’t there either. Where could she be. It’s a mystery.

The figure

Finally, my new house was now up and ready for me! I’ve been waiting for months!

I turn the handle of the door-knob in a steady right formation

Huh? Who’s that... and why is she in my house!

“Uhm... Ma'am... I think you have the wrong house, I don’t even know how you got in here!”

“Huh? Where did you go?”

She’s...she’s... gone!

But how could she just disappear?

I shoot my eyes to see if she’s still around... but she’s nowhere to be seen...

… but how could she just disappear…, by Julia

She stood lifeless, staring at the murky depths below. The filthy water darkened every minute, making it dense. Her body was as still as an icicle, not moving an inch. The wind was growing robust, but she stood there carelessly.

Thick mist appeared, covering everything in its path. The girl took a step forward as branches ripped off trees in a flash. She moved again... Now she was facing the other direction. Swiftly, the vicious wind blew as if being controlled by the girl.

She sank into the muddy waters, until, she was gone. But how could she just disappear?

But how could she just disappear by Kaitlin

In the foggy distance, I could see a dark, gloomy and eerie figure coming towards me. “Who are you?” I yelled to the random person. There was no reply, at all! Slowly I began to head towards the spooky figure. As I got closer to the person, I realised it was a little girl about the same age as me. She started to run away from me, so I ran after her. She ran around a corner, I was right behind her. Then suddenly she disappeared mysteriously into thin air. “But how could she just disappear?” I thought to myself...

… but how could she just disappear… by Tom

My name is David, I'm a detective who helps solve mysteries and find missing people. There have been a series of disappearances all around the city, including my daughter. It seems that children under the age of 14 are just, disappearing. I always get the same questions asked to me, “When will I see him again?” or, “But how could she just disappear?” and I always give the same response, “I do not know.” It is hard hearing parents so upset and I hope I can stop this.

This was David, detective and mystery solver.
