The Search

Chapter One The Journey Begins Ten years ago, there was a car crash. I was only four years old, and my dad was taking me to a park. Suddenly a truck ran over our car. I survived, but my dad didn’t. I wasn’t hurt badly, but partially lost my memory. I had a slight memory of my dad in the car crash. It just seemed that in the car crash, my dad simply disappeared. My mom thought I was suffering mentally and hired a psychologist, but test results proved that I was a fully healthy human. Exactly one year from now, my father would be declared legally dead. They searched for my father, not knowing if he was dead or alive. But they’re sure he could not survive ten years without any sign. My mom had never lost hope and kept on searching with all the money she had. But when she found out that we were almost broke, she said that the search would be over in a year. I can understand that my father would be declared legally dead in a year, but something sounds unfinished to me. In the car crash, my dad’s body was nowhere to be found. The crash happened beside the hospital, but his body was nowhere near the hospital. So it seemed to me that maybe he is still alive. Recently I had found a letter written by my dad to me. My mod told me that it was found in the car on the day the accident happened. She had kept it since in her jewelery box safely not knowing what it really meant. It said that there were many things in this world that we thought never existed and if I could learn all that and search for him I would find him.I knew my dad was telling the truth even though it sounded insane. So I decided to do as it is said in the letter, to search for him for he was my father. In the letter, my dad had given me a clue how I should start the search. It said that I had to find a witch living in Africa. But he didn’t tell me where. I figured the best place to begin to track down something that was both tricky and historical was the Legendarios Library. That was the biggest library on our street in New York. I learned that a mythical witch used to live in the Sahara Desert, the biggest desert on earth. I believed that she existed because I read that there were several kidnappings around the area where the witch used to live. I knew I had to be very wise because the books said that there would be a lot of trouble finding the witch. She will not show herself until you pass her test, but if she thinks that you will be a good help to her, she makes an exception.
