Lost Child of Hide and Seek

I thought Sparky was some child's nickname. I asked about him while stroking my daughter's head."What's Sparky's real name, Lily?"Lily shook her head with a questioning look."Sparky doesn't have any other name. He's called Sparky! His eyes are redder than his lips. They're so pretty."Red eyes?That did not sound like a normal child.A child would never appear in the kindergarten without the teacher being aware of it. I continued asking Lily about him patiently."When did you play hide-and-seek with Sparky?"Lily's eyes widened innocently. "During naptime. We weren't able to sleep, so Sparky brought us to play hide-and-seek."I messaged the teacher, Ms. Channing, about it.Ms. Channing shared footage of the kindergarten with me right away."We can guarantee that all the children had been asleep during naptime, Mrs. Ford. All our teachers had been watching the doors. None of the children had gone out to play hide and seek."It was just like Ms. Channing had said. All the

I looked around, and there was no one else there. Lily was sitting on the bed when she turned to look at me."I'm talking to Sparky, Mommy."Sparky again! This was giving me a headache, and my tone with Lily sounded sharp. "Stop lying, Lily! I'll be mad if you do.""I'm not lying to you, Mommy! Sparky is hiding inside the hugging bear."She pointed at the doll in front of her.Children had such rich imaginations. I sighed. I had no idea how to explain things to her.Just then, the hugging bear on her bed moved. Its eyes started to glow red, and an eerie voice seemed to pierce into my ears."Haha! I've caught you!"I screamed.Gavin ran quickly to my side. He inspected the hugging bear closely before speaking to me in exasperation. "This is just an ordinary battery-powered doll. It'll speak when you press this button."Gavin pressed the hugging bear's palm."Haha! I've caught you!"The same voice rang out loud.I was still reeling from the shock. "I didn't see Lily press

The screen on my phone, which was connected to the security camera, contorted right after I made the call.I wondered if it was my imagination, but I saw my daughter speak to the camera.As the screen had frozen, I did not hear what she said.However, I could recognize a word from how she mouthed it."Mad…"After that, the entire screen went black.Seeing this, I rushed home right away.Gavin rushed over when he heard the commotion."What's wrong, Lyana?"I grabbed his collar and roared at him. "Where's Lily? Didn't I tell you to stay by her side? Tell me! Where's Lily?!"Gavin turned pale. He looked around the room and ran into the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. He searched the entire house but did not find Lily. That was when he broke down and apologized."I'm sorry, Lyana! All I did was go to the bathroom. I didn't think anything would happen to Lily. The door was locked. Lily is too young to open a locked door!"It was too late to explain anything.I dialed 911 ri

One of the parents who lost a child kicked the hugging bear, which went flying, with great anger."Calm down! Finding the children should be our priority!"I had no idea who was behind this, but there was nothing more important than finding the children first.Ms. Channing came over with several flashlights, and she divided them among us.However, ten minutes had passed… We had searched every corner but could not find the children.The parents broke down as they yelled angrily at the empty air."What do you want? Did we offend you in any way? Come after us instead if we did anything to you. Why are you torturing the children? They're innocent!"Some of them even knelt to the ground, crying."Please give me back my daughter! I'll do anything you want!"However, no one answered them.That was when Officer Jenkins' phone rang. It was a call from the police station.After hanging up, he spoke grimly to us."My colleague has news from the investigation. The girl who died 20 year

One of the children was so scared that they told their parents.All eight pairs of parents were afraid of their children being blamed for it, so they bribed the teacher and headmaster to hide Elaine's body in a fridge to make it appear as though she had died in an accident while playing hide-and-seek.These parents were also worried that their children would be traumatized, so they decided to hire a psychologist to wipe their memories.Elaine's parents appealed several times for the case to be reopened but to no avail. In the end, they left this place of sorrow.In the end, we managed to find the missing children in the abandoned well. The well had been abandoned for decades and had already dried up.However, someone had connected a pipe to it that would fill the well with water. The water would slowly rise as time passed.It would have taken 30 minutes to rise above the children's heads. That was why the mastermind had set a 30-minute timeframe for this.When we got to the well
