Chapter One – Missing

Mayday in the outskirts of Philadelphia is the heart of the small town steeped in pagan traditions where the crowning of the May Queen is the highlight of the day-until she suddenly goes missing.

Melissa and Megan Hunt are the 14 and 12-year-old daughters of Judge Joan Hunt and Dr David Hunt. They are completely different Megan was the geekier one of the two and very much into science and the outdoors, which she called it, nature's garden. Megan was forever seeing how things work from the inside out whether it was a bird or a rabbit she would open the animal and see how it worked. Melissa on the other hand was the complete opposite she was the all around American pretty cheerleader and beauty queen who captures people's hearts with her natural beauty the moment she met them with her confident manner, she knew how to carry herself on stage with her dazzling smile and deep brown eyes.

Melissa was very much into spending time with her friends and having a good time, she did not care about the outdoors like Megan who was always on petitions to save the green earth and the trees when Melissa could not care less but she tried to show a little bit of interest for her sister's sake. Everyone who met the sisters said they were so different but they both had very high IQ's but Melissa was always that bit smarter than Megan was.

Megan fairly tall with her long auburn hair and hazel eyes and soft features with a pale complexion and natural look a kind face and caring personality where as Melissa was a tall brunette with her deep brown eyes and liked to wear a small amount of make-up with soft features and milk and honey skin.

Next weekend was the traditional Mayday holiday in Philly where the town celebrates the tradition of the Mayday holiday and they have a festival with a big carnival with games and the big event which they take pride in is the crowning of the May Queen which is an old tradition which they do every year. The May Queen title is to represent the town , opening shops and supporting local businesses and work with a chosen charity of the contestants choice and of course to reserve the forest in the small town.

Every and anyone enters the May Queen pageant in hope to win the title. In the May Queen pageant, local girls compete against each other in front of a panel of six judges who choose the winner, which will be crowned at the Mayday celebration and then paraded around the town in a parade of honour, this year they chose Melissa Hunt as their May Queen. Melissa was very popular at school everyone knew her being from a small town, she was the kindest girl you could meet with a heart of gold.

May Queen Morning 1980

May Queen Morning no one could predict what would happen. It all started one sunny but cloudy Saturday morning. Megan was due to meet her best and only friend in town so she got ready had breakfast and was out of the house by 11am and the crowning was taking place at 1pm. Megan took the bus to Cardiff city centre and met her best friend Grace where they walked round the town laughing enjoying herself. Joan Hunt got up a round 9am to take care of some business for work and was soon back home before 12am which didn't leave her much time to get ready as she wanted a shower before she left to see Melissa being crowned.

"Melissa, come on your going to be late Darling" Joan called up to Melissa who groaned and turned over trying to go back to sleep.

Joan called one last time before she walked back into the kitchen make some breakfast for herself knowing that she would not eat it with it being a fried breakfast with bacon and sausages as Melissa was a strict vegetarian and would not touch any of that. Even the smell made her feel ill. Melissa finally got up, had some cereal, and then rushed up to her room to get ready.

"Melissa, we are going to be late come on" Joan yelled again.

"You go Mom, I won't be that far behind you I promise" Melissa yelled opening her door and walked over to the banister so her mother would hear and see her.

"If you're sure darling, love you"

"Yes, just go love you too" Joan left and made her way to the celebration not knowing that was the last time Joan would see her eldest daughter Melissa Hunt alive.

Megan checked her cell to see that it was only 15 minutes until she would see her sister crowned.

"I better go; mum would kill me if I didn't go and I wouldn't want that would I" Megan said putting on her best impression of her mother which made Grace laugh. Megan sighed heavily, made her way to the festival, and walked round looking for her mother.

In the mean time Melissa got changed into her red pageant Dress curled her long dark hair until it was in loose girls she then placed the silver crown on top of her styled hair and looked in the mirror and smiled at her appearance and then rushed down stairs opening the front door grabbing her famous red Bike that rode everywhere closed the door and rode to down the road.

Melissa rode past not seeing anyone about thinking that they must be at the festival already waiting for her entrance. She rode past a group of people who wear dressed up and she eyed them seeing a familiar face amongst them she smiled and waved and then rode away. Melissa rode past the woods she looked at the trees and smiled feeling the sun piercing through the clouds as the sun shone upon her face as she looked at the clear blue sky.

Melissa smiled as she was nearly there but she could feel someone watching her and following her in the shadows. Her suspicion came true when they came rushing out of a car and over to her making her stop dead in her tracks.

Melissa put on the brakes of her bike and steadied herself putting her feet on the ground "Melissa, you have to come quick it's your Mom, she's been in a accident and they have taken her to hospital"

"What? Is she ok" Melissa was worried but she was not sure she should go because her sister or neighbours would tell her if anything was wrong with her mother.

"Come please Melissa there isn't time" Melissa was just seconds from the festival when she dismounted her bike placed the bike on the ground then placing her silver crown on the handle and leaving the bike on the ground with the back wheel spinning slowly and followed them to the car and she got into the car.

Mean while at the festival it was beginning to start when Megan ignored a call from Melissa thinking she was nervous and needing her help but little did Megan know Melissa did need her help.

Megan saw her mother wondering round on her own so she walked over to her and they walked towards the parade to watch as the parade began with different floats came through. People watched laughing and smiling until they say saw that the May Queen had not arrived.

"Hey they can't start without a May Queen" a stranger called out.

Melissa's float began to come through as Joan pointed it out to Megan only to see where Melissa was suppose to be sitting was now an empty seat.

"Where's Melissa?" Joan called out

Megan's face showed the panic at not seeing Melissa up there but only to see an empty chair instead of Melissa she began to panic feeling that something was clearly wrong Melissa would never miss a pageant not for anything and winning May Queen was what she had always wanted since she was a child.

"Where is she?" Megan muttered to herself routed to the spot feeling time stopping but everything was moving in slow motion like nothing was happening like her sister didn't exist Megan began to feel a pang of guilt for not answering Melissa's call. The parade continued with or without Melissa but the question on every body's lips was where was Melissa Hunt their May Queen this year. Children danced around laughing wearing flowers in their hair carrying on as if nothing was wrong.

Megan began to feel uneasy as she stood there images popped into her head and she thought she heard Melissa scream as the image of the woods popped into her mind. Megan stumbled back slightly in complete shock but her eyes never left the empty chair.

When the parade ended, Joan knew something was clearly wrong it was only a 10-minute route to where the festival was from their house.

"Melissa must still be at home" a neighbour said trying to lighten the situation placing her arm round Joan's shoulders Joan nodded as they left the parade and walked home a different way Melissa had chosen to take this particular day otherwise they would have found her bike and crown. Megan trailed behind her mother knowing that something had happened to Melissa and that she could have saved her by answering that call.

I hope that was all right for you all and I hope that it made some sense to all what was happening.

Who took Melissa Hunt?

Is she alive?
