Persephone had come home early from school because she had had another black out. It wasn't anything major it was just because one of the students had been teasing her about being small.
She had high blood pressure constantly and whenever she got into stressful or anxious situations she'd black out. It had been happening more frequently due to the bullies back at school,
especially a certain boy who always had to go a little further.
Her mother had allowed her to go home early and so she laid in her bed staring at the ceiling wondering whether these black outs would last forever.
She'd heard the door unlock and instantly knew it was her own fathers footsteps, which calmed her greatly.
Although she'd been advised to stay laid down, she had gotten herself up to go and speak to her father just so that she didn't startle him or seem rude.
She poked her head around her door just to check that it definitely was her father and sure enough it was him. He was on his knees near the wall, he had his head underneath the coffee table like he was searching for something.
Persephone was going to say something, maybe ask him if she could help find what he was looking for but he looked frantic.
He checked every corner of the room and underneath the chairs, he even flicked through a magazine and checked under the table cloths.
Persephone watched as, Almond, her dog padded into the room. Her father turned to him, grabbed hold of his collar and spun it in his hands like there was something on it.
"Is it you?" He asked the dog frantically "is there a camera here, Cmon I swear" and then he let go of an almighty growl.
He stood back up and scanned the living room, his eyes finally falling on the mirror hung upon the wall.
"Ah-ha" he snarled bounding towards it. He ragged it off the nail and began to check behind it, his hands running over the back of it and then across the wall.
Persephone was confused at this point and stepped into the room, her feet making the floor boards creek.
Her father snapped round sharply and looked at his daughter with a guilty expression. His eyes flickered from the mirror to Persephone and back again.
"It fell off the wall when I was cleaning" he laughed rubbing the back of his neck.
Persephone nodded, she daren't correct him.
