I was in the middle of a deep sleep, dreaming about lying on a beach on an island far, far away, when I suddenly felt like the earth was shaking beneath me.

It took me a few minutes to come round and realise that it wasn’t in my dream, someone was actually shaking me!

“Chloe, wake up, wake up”

I opened my eyes,

“What is it Mom? Why are you waking me?”

“It’s Laila, she’s missing!”

I sat bolt upright in bed,

“What are you talking about? What do you mean she’s missing?”

We looked everywhere, she was nowhere to be seen.

I was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, listening to my parents telling the Police everything they knew.

“Chloe and Laila both went up to bed at the same time, it was probably about an hour or two later that we went up to bed.”

“My wife checked in on Chloe first, and then she went to check on Laila.”
