There once was a child in a care home called Rachel she was the quiet one out of all the people but seemed to know everything about what went on in the house and would just stare at people as if she was reading the persons eyes. She would always wear a bow in her hair and carry her teddy named Tim. She would hardly speak to any of the people in the house not even the workers there just the basic words like ‘yes’ and ‘no’
Rachel didn’t know why she was in care and where the rest of her family was. She regularly moved from care home to care home because she didn’t get along with the people in the other homes. There would be rumors that every care home she went to people went missing and have not been found.
One day there was an open day for people to foster the children from the home, loads of family’s were there and all the rest of the children were in the garden playing football with other children and adults, Rachel however is the opposite to the other children and sat on the grass with her teddy picking daisies. One of the girls called Michaela killed the ball at Rachel and laughed, Rachel looked up with a scowl and did the action of finger across the throat, Michaela just poked her tongue out and laughed.
A family the Smith family noticed that Rachel was the quiet one out of the children and realised that she wasn’t happy in the home. The mother of the Smith family, Carol went over to Rachel and sat down and started making daisy chains, she tried to make convosation with Rachel and she would just answer with Basic answers ‘Yes’ but she smiled it was if she liked the family. Carol spoke to the head care worker Elaine, and wanted to consider in adopting Rachel. Carol could see the child was troubled and gave Rachel her address for if she wanted anything she could go there, but then the Smith Family went over to Michaela and started paying more attention to her than Rachel. Rachel looked up and scowled and ripped up the daisy chain Carol made her.
That night there was a power cut in the home roughly about mid night when there was a full moon, the power cut went on for about half an hour, all the children were in their rooms asleep and the workers and the older children were down stairs watching TV. Everyone stayed still and there was a sound of a tap a creek of a door, there was a shadow in the candle light, a draw opened and there was a clank of cutlery, everyone in the living room was dead silent like a graveyard, footsteps were heard going back up the stairs, and another door creaking, and then silence again. All downstairs were curious and didn’t think anything of it and carried on as normal. A few minutes later the electric turned back on and all the staff went to the children’s rooms they called all the children and they all came out of their rooms, except for Michaela and Rachel. The head care worker went into Michaela’s room and screamed and came out in floods of tears and all shaken, There was a knife besides Michaela with a pillow covering her pale face with who’s laughing now in her blood. The staff rang the police and quickly went to Rachel’s room to see if she was ok. However she wasn’t there her window was wide open with her teddy on the floor with a piece of paper on the floor besides it. They realised Rachel was going to this address. The police finally came round to the care home and was asking about Rachel and her age, Elaine showed the police officer a picture of Rachel, you could see the police officers expression dropped and rushed off to his car. No one knew what was going on, finally the police officer returned and asked to speak to the head care worker, Elaine.
The police officer told Elaine that Rachel was not a child and was a German women aged 43 called Adolpha Bach who had a growth disorder which made her look on average age of 12. She was wanted for 3 cases of murder and 2 cases of grievous assault and anger issues.
The care workers and the police officers new that they had to get over to the Smiths family house as quickly as they could to catch this criminal before she could do anymore damage to people’s lives.
There was a knock on the Smith’s house and it was Adolpha, she tilted her neck and gave false smile, Carol smiled back and said ‘come on in Rachel’ as they were walking to the kitchen, Adolpha pulled out the knife and sliced Carols throat. Carol dropped to the floor, and bled to death. Adolpha stood over and watched Carol suffer, she lit a match and the whole house set on fire.
By the time the police officers turned up it was to late the house was up in flames and there was no sign off Adolpha.
Where will she be next?
