Chapter 4

-later that night-

After getting dressed and putting shoes on, both girls quietly snuck out in the outfits they'd wear for the World Cup in like 6 hours. It was a warmer night than most and both girls walked in silence, too engrossed in their thoughts.

Adhara was nervous she will find something to set her off. Raven was nervous they'd find something that would set Adhara off.

The moon was shining bright and if you listen closely you could hear the faint sounds of a werewolf. Couldn't be Remus he was at the Potter's Manor in Scotland for the night. They got to the bridge that her mom jumped off. It was one of those gate bridges with a bunch of locks on them. This one had so many locks it looked like no more would ever fit.

Adhara knew this bridge looked familiar, it was the bridge from her mothers memory. The same bridge the woman was killed. It didn't take long for Adhara to realize the woman was her mother. All these years Adhara thought her mother killed herself when in reality she was murdered.

"Merlin, what is it with people and their locks.." Raven spoke running a hand through her hair.

Adhara looked to Daven. "This bridge...it's the same one from my mothers memory. My mother didn't commit suicide, she was the woman that was killed on this bridge."

Raven stood awkwardly, she didn't know how to comfort the girl. "Well, you said that she had two things in her hands in the memory so clearly it was two locks. Now we have to find them."

"Yeah, I'll start on this side and you the other." Adhara mumbled.

Raven nodded and they both started on different sides of the bridge going through each lock to see if there was some sort of clue.

Adhara looked at her watch and saw it was 12:26 am. She huffed seeing as there was still half a bridge to go. She moved on to a lock, that was black and weirdly shaped with a key attached to it. It wasn't like the rest of the locks with rust and initials. She held on to it an looked at the key. The key was a skeleton key.

"Raven!" she shouted, "I found it!"

Raven looked at her then back at the lock she found. "Let me guess, all black and shaped like a crest?"

Adhara nodded and Raven flashed Adhara the one she had in her hand. Both girls unlocked the locks before they both compared locks. They saw that both locks where the same. Then they compared keys, each key was different. The locks where all black and shaped like a crest. Adhara had a skeleton key while Raven had a safe key.

"Holy shit." Raven whispered, "You don't think that the reason these locks are shaped like a crest and they're black is from the Black family Crest?"

Adhara nodded and said, "It has to be. It can't be a coincidence that both are black and are crest shaped. Alright, um- let's go home we need to sleep before we go to the world cup."

Raven agreed and they both left to Adhara's house. When they got back they both fell asleep right as there faces hit the bed.

-the next morning-

"WAKE UP!" Margaret shouted, making Adhara and Raven jolt up with wide eyes. Leana was in Marg's arms giggling. "Good morning girls the World Cup tickets are calling your name!!"

Raven groaned and rolled off the bed with a thud. Adhara also groaned but got out the bed more peacefully.

"Daddy maked french toast!" Leana said.
