Elijah became very relieved. He turned and ran towards the station to see if Anne found her.

Neither Anne nor Alice were at the station. It was quiet there at the moment. There was no train waiting and the next train to Scarborough wouldn't depart until eleven. The next train to Pickering wouldn't depart until noon.

Elijah went back the way Anne would have gone, hoping they'd  be there  He even started to call out for them.

There was no response. Neither of the girls were anywhere to be seen along the way.

Elijah started to jog around calling out as he headed towards Ben's. He was very worried and asked anyone he passed if they'd seen them.

One fisherman said he had seen Anne near the station.

Elijah frowned and wondered where Anne went afterwards. There wasn't a train. He decided to go another way towards town.

The girls were not there either. There were many fishing girls in town and nobody seemed to remember these two in particular.

Elijah hung his head. This was being hopeless and now he was wandering around town with no idea of either of their locations. He was becoming so worried.

Bram was off in a distance, playing with a stray cat. He let it run after a piece of string.
