House of Secrets
“Bailee, they’re coming!”

I scooted to the edge of the bed and swung my legs over the side. The floor looked far away, but I pushed off the mattress and jumped. Momma hurried to the door and motioned me to follow.
“We have to hide you. We have to hide the baby.”
I couldn’t find my shoes and the floor was cold. “Mommy, wait.” I shivered and reached for my cover.
“Leave it, Bailee. We have t...o hurry.” Her expression betrayed her fear and a chill ran up my spine. Men were coming to hurt us—to steal us away from our family. Momma said so, and she was never wrong.
I grabbed my dolly and ran after her. Momma picked up the baby and looked around the corner before heading out the back of the house. It was so cold and my feet were bare. I hesitated at the door.MoreLess
