I have to admit, I'm confused. The part about Katie disappearing is odd because there's no mention of the fact that the father may have killed her (after all, he was abusive). But then at the end, it turns out that Emily is now Katie? Or the father put Katie's face on Emily? That doesn't make any sense at all, but it wasn't my first thought.

At first I assumed that the main character was Katie the whole time, and that Emily was her other personality that existed to cope with the father's abuse. She runs away, causing her other personality to take over so she could forget the abuse she suffered as Katie. That's why she says that Katie eventually disappeared. Then when she is kidnapped by the father, her true personality comes back. I realize with that theory you would have to ignore the part about cuts to her face and her feeling like she had changed, but I like it better that the likely interpretation.

If he really did put Katie's face on Emily, then that's just silly. Why did he do it? Because he missed his daughter that I assume he murdered? There needs to be more in there for it to come across the way it's intended. Where's the beef? Add more meat! XD
