Welcome to the beautiful neighborhood of Crecent Court, a middle class coldesac where the children can play and laugh. There lived four families (Can add more if needed) who loved the neighborhood they can live and enjoy raising their kids. Real pictures only! Animals added as wanted also! nothing is ever as it seems so, while the neighborhood seems perfect and all those people living in it, a lot of them are dealing with drama of their own!

kids gone missing in nearby neighborhood

some kids were just outside playing like normal kids when suddenly they were taken apparently by an unknown assailant, this is definitely been a shakeup for the neighborhood. We tried to interview with the parents, but unfortunately they are definitely too distraught to even consider answering our questions. the neighborhood is up in arms wanting to know where these kids went and who took them, a lot of them will not stop until they get answers. while we don't have a whole lot of information on this story, we do intend to follow it until the very ends if we have to. We need to keep our kids safe!

weather

after getting some amazing rain last night, I am happy to announce that it looks like it will be sunshine for the rest of the day. The rain last night had caused a lot of problems on the road, probably a few people out there have noticed and some even complained that the few days of rain was just too much. There is a lot of flooding out there, so be careful when you're driving this morning to drop your kids office school or even if they're just walking to school. Also be careful letting your pets out, one angry citizen has been hollering about how their dog got into the mud and they don't have time to give them a bath. While the rain can definitely be nice, sometimes it's just a pain!

Danielle sighed, tapping her foot as she waited for Dexter to meet her outside. He wasn't running late for their daily carpool per se but she still would've preferred to leave earlier than it seemed like they were going to be. Sure they had like 2 hours for the drive, but traffic could be a real bitch sometime. And her office wasn't as close to home as she might've liked so headstarts were always appreciated. But the third and most important reason why she wanted to leave early? She wanted some alone time with Dex. A little gesture like driving together was usually a mood lifter. Getting coffee, complaining about bad drivers, and being in the same vicinity? It was guaranteed bonding time. And she wanted it now.

The door to her house opened.''Ready to go babe?'' she questioned him, in her usual ''Happy but not as happy as I feel inside'' tone before unlocking their car door. Since her office was the furthest from the house, she was usually the one driving so they didn't have to keep swapping drivers. She glanced over at Dex sitting shotgun, and smiled to herself. Fuck, had they really been together since high school? It seemed like both forever ago and just yesterday, that she'd learned of his pining. And now they were here. With twins who were old enough to ride the bus to school.

Where did the time go? Was she seriously not a 14 year old who was figuring out the best way to sneak out of the house anymore? Was she not......nope nope nope don't even entertain those thoughts. What would Dex say if he knew she wondered if he still felt the way he did back then? That she wasn't the beautiful bad girl/wild child he fell for in the first place? That she sometimes worried that the only reason they were even married was because she got pregnant? That he signed up for the girl of his dreams and ended up with somebody totally different? He was probably, definitely too good to admit if he did still love the quiet mama she ended up becoming.

With a sigh, she smiled at him. Leaned over to give him a quick peck on the lips, while neglecting to make the ''Grandma kiss'' snark about pecks that she often made in high school, before Teen Dani leaned in for a longer kiss. ''Love ya.'' Her smile widened, in an attempt to hide her previous anxieties. No use in letting him know about them. Things were good right now. Why should she rock the boat?

Esther woke up feeling extremely tired, she stayed up most of the night trying to get some extra credit done. She actually fell asleep at her desk, when she woke up she was still there and she quickly closed her laptop. She was a very hard-working young girl, she absolutely loved to study and when she brought home A’s she was always hoping that it would make her dad proud. Her mother died while in labor with her, in fact they were lucky to get her out alive. She was actually a real miracle, even though at what price Esther always wondered. Secretly she always felt like it was her fault that her mom died, something that she held at herself numerous times. Especially if her dad or her brother are feeling sad about missing mom.

She got up to move away from her computer, she grabbed her glasses and put them on before finally heading downstairs to make breakfast. She was about to make it to the kitchen, but she ran into the wall in the process as she was rubbing her eyes while she was walking. “Ouch--” she said rubbing her head before she finally was able to see things a little bit more clearly, grabbed some eggs and bread for some toast. She wondered when her brother and dad going to get up, in fact for all she knew they could be up.

She was really good about taking care of her family, even though she was only 12. She felt it was her job since none of this would’ve happened if she hadn’t been born, their mom would still be alive and everybody would be happy, right? She had brought down one of her books that she was working on for school, reading while she flipped the eggs and wishing that she had more time to make them pancakes or something.

Casey was a beautiful little girl, she had such a great spirit and great personality. She did suffer from a little bit of the disability, despite being Five-years old she acted more like a two-year-old and barely even spoke. She had a lot of trauma since the day she was born, her mother had been a psycho person and often times made her father’s life a living hell. In fact it had only been since they moved into this house that he was able to get a restraining order, so that the two of them could live a peaceful life. She absolutely adored her father, he was everything in her life and all she really truly needed, she still wasn’t in school and instead would go to a babysitter’s house when her dad needed her to.

It was early in the morning and she was wearing her footy pajamas that her dad had put on her the night before. They were slowly working with her so that she would be able to put on her own pajamas, but everything was a slow process for her. She was a smart girl in many areas, but there was a lot of areas that she truly struggled with.

Her eyes open quickly that morning, as she rolled herself towards the edge of her bed where there was a thing blocking her from falling off and she quickly climbed over it landing on the floor. Little tiny footsteps could be heard walking across the hardwood floor, as she made her way to her father’s rooms and climbed into the bed, this is where she would usually fall asleep again until she had to wake up. Usually she’d end up in there a lot sooner, the rain seems to really soothe her and helped her sleep through the night.

Jake groaned, rolling over before the sun hit him straight in the eyes, causing him to turn right back over again. He was now too awake to go back to sleep. He didn't much care for lolling around in bed, partially because he didn't like to be alone for long and partially because he knew he had more important things to be doing, and really staying in bed after waking up for him never lead to going back to sleep. His body just refused to slumber any longer.

He heard someone walking down the stairs and then suddenly a bump against the wall near his room nearly caused him to fall out of bed. That must be Esther. The footsteps were too light to be his father's, plus he was not clumsy to any degree. He probably had the best reflexes out of anyone Jake knew. It was something that he liked about his dad.

Rolling out of bed and making his way to his dresser, Jake began to mentally go over what classes he had that day. For the most part, it should be a pretty easy day. He didn't study as hard as his sister did, but he was no slouch. He hadn't failed a class in high school yet, or even really come close to failing one despite some of the teachers having it out for him. He had a bit of a habit of doing stupid things to gain attention and admiration, even when they went against class rules or even involved embarrassing someone else. He felt a little bit bad about it.

But not bad enough to change.

Ray had been up for hours. He never slept anymore, especially since the dreams started back up. He was in his office, the only off limits room in the house. The room was the only reason the house didn't smell like a smoker's den, and he had done a good job at keeping his addiction a secret to the kids. He had smoked 5 cigarettes since 2 am, this one he was lighting up now marking his sixth. He inhaled and felt the smoke fill his lungs.

The dreams had started exactly two weeks after he got out. It was small things at first, like distant helicopters, rumbling engines, even gunshots. But he met Sarah, and one night, after he had cleared his house in his sleep, Sarah convinced him to see a shrink. He only did it for her, wanting to be the best man he could. And the dreams stopped for several years, until Sarah died. Then they returned, and worse. He found himself in full firefights, engaged with hostiles. Airstrikes being called in, chaos everywhere. And another incident occurred, it was some holiday, and Ray went to sleep early. Jake was at his friend's house. Esther was only 3. Fireworks went off, and Ray's 6th sense kicked in. He cleared his house, and was awoken when his daughter was crying. He pledged to never cause an incident like that again.

So, for 10 years, he has been popping pills the VA prescribed him. He has not had episodes like before, but his dreams are a whole lot worse. So once a week, he tells the kids that he is going to visit Sarah's grave*, and goes to his shrink to get pills, and get told how to deal with trauma from a guy whose never seen combat. So, Ray turns to the bottle and the cancer sticks to get by. Ray exhales smoke into the room.**

*Sarah was cremated, and Ray refuses to take the kids to "her grave"

**Ray's office is a unique room in the house, for most of the items in it are older than Ray himself. As his Great-Great, his Great, his Grandfather, and his Father were all veterans, he has items passed down to him from the First World War. He also maintains a large book collection, and on the left side of the room is his wooden gun locker, filled with weapons dating as far as the 1860s. His huge wooden desk has only locked drawers, and the only things decorating his desk is a photo of him, Sarah, and Jake, a stack of black paper, a wooden pen, an ash tray, and a Marine Raider mug given to him by a friend.

Her daughter was one of the most perfect little girls he had ever seen. She was the only good that had come out of his failed relationship with her mom. She had been through so much since she was born and it made his heart hurt because she didn't deserve that. Her mom had been one of those people that had made his life hell. Coming here allowed them to be free at last. She couldn't touch them there without facing the law and their happy family could be all together. He adored his daughter as much as she did him. It was early in the morning and he was laying in his bed still mostly asleep. He had tucked her into bed the night before in her footie pjs knowing full well that by morning she would end up in bed with him by morning.

He stirred slightly as the little girl’s footsteps crossed the hall to the room. He yawned as the girl nestled into him. The rain kept her out of his bed longer than normal. When she crawled into his bed he woke up a little. But he tried not to stir all the way
