Knock Knock

Knock Knock." There was a gentle tap on Alisha's bedroom door. She knew who it was going to be, her dad or mum. She hardly came out of her room after Archie her dog disappeared. He was like her little brother. But now, he was gone. As he got up from her bed, she put her slippers. Her eyes wandered to the wall where pictures were hanging, pictures of her and Archie.

She heard footsteps outside her room. She knew her parents heard her cry. "Oh, come here. It's going to be all right." said her dad with a gloomy face. Her mum too comes in and says "dinner is ready Alisha come when you think you are fine. All right?" Alisha slowly nods, as she still looks at her tears that were falling on her feet.

Her mum had made her all-time favourite Butter Chicken! As soon as she saw the dishes, her face lit up. The smell was so delicious that she had already started to eat in no time. Later, when she had finished eating dinner, she felt, as if she was hit by a magic spell and her eyes became heavy. They were almost closed by the time she hit her pillow.
