Francis - Sequel

Francis Pt 2

By Makayla

Previously…

The boat was found on shore the next day, empty but for the journal. On those pages were her frantic jottings, all written in her distinctive handwriting, all but the last page. When the journal was found, that page was still wet, and on it were four words, looking as if they'd been written quickly, with a muddy finger. 

They said, "I did knock first."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boat was found, a huge investigation was started. Many police departments tried looking for Francis but didn’t succeed. So Detective Phoenix was put on the case. There were not much evidence but still it was enough for Detective Phoenix to use. Francis’s family were devastated, they just couldn’t believe it. 

“When did you last see Miss Francis Brandywine?” Detective Phoenix asked. 

“Last night sh...she was sleeping in the tent with us, and then we woke up to find her miss….missing” 

Francis’s mum cried. 

“Do you still have the rowboat in reach” Detective Phoenix asked, 

“Yes it’s over there” 

the dad said.

Detective Phoenix went to take a look at the boat. He checked if there were any false malfunctions. He saw there was nothing wrong, so he decided to hop into the boat and row out to where Francis had experienced this situation. Once he was in the right spot he waited. Nothing happened and he got curious so he decided to row back in to give in his findings. He got back to shore and head off back to the police department, he explained his findings and then did some research on the park.

He read a huge heap of articles when suddenly he came across a article explaining the death of a girl named Abigail Hellowell. She was drowned by her father at the age of seven in the Quetico lake, and now she is known for haunting the park and it’s area. He was startled from his findings and thought he should check the park again.

He pulled into the parking lot of Quetico park and looked around for any weird  activity. He decided to row the boat out to the middle of the lake once again. He stayed out the for about ten minutes. It was a long day for him and he was getting tired so he decided to lay down. He was starting to drift away when suddenly he heard loud knocks “BANG BOOM BAM” he jumped. 

He was so terrified and started to row his boat into shore wasn’t moving a bit. He was concerned and took a glare into the water he noticed there was the same boy from the article in the reflection of the water. 

“Ahhhhh” He Yelled. 

He tried and tried to row himself back to shore but wasn’t moving a bit. He noticed that the boat was sinking and tried to scream for help but no one heard him and he sobbed he felt a hand grab him and pull him into the water. 

“NOOOO help, please” He yelled and before he knew it he had sunk to the bottom of the lake.

The End
