Prologue
Mansion in Ireland, 2003
Kayleigh smiled as she ran around the grounds of one of her fathers mansions. Her ginger hair being kept out of her eyes by a headband. As usual she was wearing a pencil skirt, shirt and jumper. The jumper and skirt both being pink, so we're her slip on shoes. The golden locket hung around her neck, her freckles were visible as the sun shone down on her face. The seven year old girls smile grew as she reached the orchard.
"Kayleigh!" She heard her father yell, the little girl turned her head before sighing and making her way back towards the house.
"Daddy!" She smiled again as she saw her father standing on the patio, he smiled at her as she ran to hug him. He lifted her up to hug her properly.
"Hello Princess"
A month later, Mansion on Outskirts of Boston
"Princess, there's someone I want you to meet" Doyle smiled as Kayleigh entered the library. The seven year olds ginger hair was as usual held back by a headband. A cardigan, shirt, pencil skirt and slip ons. As per usual. This time they were yellow.
"Yes daddy?" She asked walking over, her eyes were drawn to the brunette standing next to him. She had bangs and her hair was wavy. Her eyes were a bright brown. She had a longish nose and was extremely pretty.
"This is Lauren, Lauren this is Kayleigh. My daughter" Lauren crouched down to be the same height as her. A smile spread across her face.
"Hello Sweetheart" she smiled and stretched her hand out, Kayleigh smiled back and shook it.
Mansion in Ireland, January 2004
Lauren smiled as she chased Kayleigh around the huge garden.
"I'm gonna get you!" She called, the ginger haired girl laughed before tripping over a tree stump. "Oh Kay! Sweetheart are you alright?" Lauren asked picking her up so she stood upright. She nodded in response. Her freckles sprinkled over her face.
"Good, now your father wants you to get some studying done" The seven year old sighed.
"Laury!" She complained, Laury was her nickname for Lauren.
"Oh come on angel, it can't be that bad. Besides I have to make a phone call" the child nodded and gripped onto Lauren's hand before walking into the house with Lauren.
"Hey, do you know how long?" She whispered standing in the corner of the broom cupboard.
"Another few months tops darling. I promise both you and Kayleigh will be out of there before you know it, also absolutely no one other than you and I know Kayleigh exists"
"Thanks" and with that she ended the call and stepped outside.
"How long until what?" Kayleigh asked, Emily turned and saw the little girl standing there.
"Don't worry, I'm going on a little vacation in a few months" the child nodded and the two walked back in the library.
French Chateau, October 2004
Emily had arranged everything, Declan and Louise were gone. Their deaths getting ready to be faked as soon as Emily was out. Kayleigh was slightly suspicious over what was going on.
"Kay sweetheart, can you pack a bag. Everything you need. Clothes, toys. Everything. And don't tell your dad baby" she nodded and hurried to go do it.
The next day the black car pulled up outside, Emily hurried Kayleigh into it.
"Sweetie this is my friend Clyde, he's gonna drive you to where we're going. I'll be there soon" she nodded and within seconds the car drove off.
January 2005, D.C.
"Kayleigh! Come on!" Emily called, the eight year old came bounding down the corridor of the apartment.
"Here mommy" she replied. Emily had sorted everything out. Kayleigh, Declan and her own deaths were faked. Everything was alright.
"Kayleigh Prentiss?" The teacher asked, Kayleigh looked up.
"Here miss" she replied, a smile forming on her face.
