Chapter 1

Maddie sat down to watch some TV. It was one o' clock in the afternoon. She ate her chocolate silently. Maddie was nine years old and lived with her mum and her two little brothers. Maddie's mother Anne, had once lived with Maddie's dad but he got lost and was never found again. Maddie's mum came into the room and told her she was just going to the shops." I wont be long". Maddie had to look after her two younger brothers. They were both four years old and twins.

Maddie's mum had been gone for ages now. She had been alone for one whole hour. It seemed like forever. The twins were getting hungry so Maddie made some toast and some milk in a cup. After they had finished their food, Maddie felt like mum was never coming back. She felt a little bit scared but she knew she would come back.

A few hours later, Maddie woke up. She had fallen asleep. Her brothers were sitting next to her. She went down to the kitchen to see if her mum was making food but she wasn't. Her mum was not at home. It was now six o clock. Maddie was getting very worried now. Her mum said that she wasn't going to be long. Just then she heard a bang on the stairs. She quickly ran to check. It was a white bunny!
