"Thanks for walking us home." Elena said as her, Rosalina and Matt all walked up to their house.

"Are you doing ok? This has to bring up a lot for you." Matt said. Of course he wasn't actually talking to both of the twins. He only cared about Elena's answer.

"We've all lost a lot." Elena paid her sister a glance. They still hadn't talked about Elena and Alaric lying about her parents and Rosa really didn't want to. She decided that her Elena would hang out with needed and would be nice to each other, but they were never going to be best friends or anything.

"In this town, it's messed up. None of us should have to live this way." Matt said. He held the door open for Elena and walked in after her. He almost shut the door in Rosalina's face, but she stopped it with her foot.

Rosa looked at her sister who was staring at the lights confused. They were still turned off so Rosa went and tried to turn them on herself, but failed as well.

"That's weird." Elena said.

"Electricity must be out." Matt responded.

"Wow Matt, you're so smart." Rosa commented earning a glare from her sister, but she just rolled her eyes. Matt always annoyed her, but she was not in a great mode tonight. She didn't get why Matt was even here. Why did he have to walk them home? Why did he half to come inside?

The three of them walked into the kitchen. Elena opened the cabinet and pulled out two flashlights. Rosa held out her hand, but she handed it to Matt, so she turned the flashlight on her phone on.

"Here." She said after giving the flashlight to Matt and turning on her own. "I think I have some candles over there." She said.

"I'll get them." Rosa told her and walked over to them. She stopped when her eyes darted to a dark red pool of blood on the floor. Rosa shut her eyes for a second before turning around to her sister who was now staring at the blood.

"Oh my God!" She yelled.

"What the hell?" Matt added.

Elena moves her flashlight along the hallways where they find bloodied handprints on the wall. Elena and Matt grabbed knifes from the kitchen drawers. Rosa looked at them with fear for a moment before grabbing a knife as well.

"Please don't be a murderer, please don't be a murderer." Rosa muttered under her breath.

"Matt?" Elena called. They followed blood red footprints out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Rosa tried to stay close to the others, but fear was overtaking her. She hated this feeling. The same feeling she got in the gym before school started. She should be used to scary stuff like this happening, but not in her own home. Not without some sort of protection.

It wasn't until now that Rosalina understood her sister. It wasn't until now that she wanted to thank her and hug her for sending their brother away. Sending him away from the danger. She could only imagine if had been in the house when this happened.
