The story so far...... It’s been snowing for the whole day, and Mark and Kai’s parents are two hours late home. The house is in darkness, because there is no power. The frightened children hear footsteps. They run out of the kitchen, along the outside wall of their house. Looking back they are astonished to see a strange man in the kitchen doorway, dressed completely in white.
He smiles faintly, slowly removing his hood. His hair is as white as the rest of him. It’s impossible not to stare into his eyes. “His eyes are so strange...,” Kai can’t help thinking. “Is he a good man?” The stranger reaches into his pocket, “I have this,” he says, handing it to Kai. The snow falls silently.
Kai gasps. “It’s Mum’s.... how.... ?” “Don’t be afraid,” he hushes her, “They’ve had an accident. They sent me to you, to help.”
“Where are they!?” Mark screams. “What have you done with them? How can we help if you can’t?”
“They need you.”
Kai opens the locket. There’s a small piece of paper folded inside. Mark picks it up, opening it flat. Kai starts to speak, “Where....” But the man has gone. Only Kai and Mark remain.
