“Fae, look at this,” Holly calls to me from the living room. I save my spot in my game and get up, walking to the railing and peeking over.

“What?”

“You have to come see it,” Holly insists, showing me a book in her hand. I sigh and head downstairs. As I sit down next to her, she shows me the book’s open page. Inside is a newspaper clipping. It’s extremely old and hard to read, but after a moment, I realize what I’m looking at.

“A woman went missing. Did they find her?”

“No, but this is the first article. Before this it was almost like journal entries.” She flips the pages back a little bit, pointing at the dates. They are all in October and spaced ten years apart. Not having read the writing except for the dates, I look at her in confusion. She sighs. “Each one is a different missing person, Fae.”

That’s extremely odd. To have so many missing persons from the same area and on such a regular schedule would usually point to a serial killer. “How far back does it go?”

She grabs some of the pages in a group and flips them backward, skimming until she finds the first one. “About three hundred years.”

I peer at the page with the first entry, and my heart catches. Iris Gwenwyn was the first reported missing. Whoever wrote the entry mocked the villagers’ beliefs she had run away after her sister Ivy was put to death.

Something is in the back of my mind about the situation, and I can’t seem to bring it forward enough to recognize it. Finally, I shrug. “I don’t know what it means, Holls. I just hope whoever wrote this out is no longer around.”

“Do you think it’s the same person? They’d have to be ancient.”

I reach out and flip the pages back to the first article, then go back one entry, holding my finger where the first entry was. “Look at the handwriting.”

“It’s the same,” she whispers.

“Girls, are you ready to go?” Mom asks as she comes downstairs, distracting us from the mystery before us.

“Ready,” Holly tells her, and I nod, gathering my things before we head out to the car.
