The Mummy Maker

Chapter 28

I wasn't sure when it was but at some point I had fallen asleep, when I was woken up again it was to my brother rapid shaking of my little body. I was freezing, teeth rattling body iced type of freezing.

Jacob ran over and wrapped my body in a blanket, I was stilled tired as I slowly stood my stiff body up. raven wrapped her arms around me to help me keep my balance as we made a slow walk back to the house.

the reporters were all camped around the front entrance of the house so we once again had absolutely no option but to get back in the way we came. Enzo when first before the other helped me up to him.

Once they knew we were in safely they headed back home themselves. unlocking m door we headed out. Enzo went to bed, I jumped in the hot shower and warmed by body up. once I was done I got into bed and fell asleep for a littler moment.

When I woke up next it was the knocking on my door and moment voice asking if I wanted pancakes. I agreed and got up getting dressed, Memories of the conversation with Myst stuck in my brain. I opened the door and slugged my way downstairs where my siblings, mother, farther and Mark sat. Raven and jocob had made there selves comfy lean against the wall.

"Why is he here." I practically growled, side looking Mark. he sunk down in his chair more holding a solom look.

"I'm thinking the same thing." my farther said glaring his way, Mother scoffed turning and looking at us both.

"He is here because he is family and because he wants tot help find Eleanor and look after Arabella." My heard wrenched in pain as tears sprung to my eyes. I put the bowlk that had nothing in it yet in the sink and began making my way upstairs.

"Where do you think your going?" her voice asked lced with venom

"Lost my appetite I'm going back to bed." I bit back not looking at her.

"Ara-" I heard Raven start talking before she was cut off.

"The hell you are!" she shouted her chair scraped the wooden floor clearly standing abruptly. she was stopped by a loud knock on the door how ever.

I looked over at my abnormally quite family before looking back at the hall way leading tot he door. With a huff I began making my way up. "Arabella wait!" Raven called. I heard her footsteps follow me, she only reached my as I placed my hand on the handle and opened the door slightly.

I opened it more realising it was Marcus and Juliette the two officers from that day in the park. "Miss Moore, Are your parents in?"

"Juliette, Marcus what's going on?" Raven asked behind me. before they could answer I turned to the hall way.

"Mom, Dad! the police are here!" I hollered loudly, I head more then two set of feet coming our way when Mark, My farther and mother rounded the corner flanked by Enzo who immediately grabbed my arm and pulled m to him at the back.

"Officers, wont you come in." my mother smiled slightly to them. they nodded there head and followed the adults down the hallway into the kitchen. I looked at Enzo before shrugging him off and making my way in there.

I knew why there were here, They had come to confirm who it was I had seen that day. the flashbacks sprung into my head as I chocked back a sob, I staid against the wall making myself invisible as the adults made their conversation.

"what bring you to my door then." She spoke with an enlightening tone as she looked at the officers. I noticed she never caught their eye how ever. it was like she was looking though them.

"I am afraid it is not good news Mrs and Mr Moore." my mother nodded as she sat down before my farther mark stood behind her with his arms on her shoulders. he looked pasted the officers and looked at me. he smiled a little but I looked away and curled into Jacobs side as she came and stood beside me.

"well ma'am, we pulled the DNA from the body found by your daughter and our condolences on your loss but It was Eleanor's DNA we found. we are going to need to to Identify the body." My mother placed her head in her hands and wailed loudly, mark attempted to comfort her tears of his own dropping. My farther stood up. he face broken adn he shook the hand of the officers.

"Oh before we go, we will need to speak more the Arabella. some question came up about the statement regarding seeing her face." My blood ran cold.

"What." there was a growl from my weeping mother. she stood up pushing the chair and mark back as she stormed towards me.

"I-" before I could say anything a sting of pain my my cheeck and my face whipped tot he side.

"Your vile creature! how could you! Get out of my sight, your worthless. I hate you!" she shouted at me. My face hung low unable to look up and show the tears threatening to fall. "Do you hear me you little bitch!" she grabbed fist fill of my hai r and ragged me face up.

"Vanessa stop!" MArcha dn Leo shouted at the same time.

"Why should I, the cunt hid this from me!" she growled. I growled back and spat in her eye. she dropped me allowing me time to push passed everyone and run.

"that cow! Don't ever come back here do you hear me!" I heard her shout as I slammed the front door. I headed into the woods, my tears finally falling and I sobbed. I ran farther into the forest when I heard Mark calling my name at the tree line.

When I was deep enough I sat down realising I was at the same log as last night. "M-Myst!" I called hoping she would answer. I call three more time after this but no answer to any of them. I sniffled and pulled my knees to my chest playing balancing act.

I couldn't go home, I wasn't welcome. I think even Enzo my closest brother hated me. My mother and farther defiantly do and right in front of my friends! tears unleased once more as I hiccupped. Maybe if I staid here long enough the killer would come for me too.

I sat there until it got dark, unmoving the cold had froze my limps into place. I had stopped shivering an hour ago and now was just numb but at least I was no longer crying. I saw light all around me in the distance when I heard it.

"I found her!" the voice called, it was familiar as Adam on of the older group members ran up to me. he wrapped up in some type of coat and helped me up on my weak limps.

"Oh thank god!" I heard his growled before his body basically tackled me, he large arms wrapped around me holding me tight.

"I'm so sorry." my voice cracked as I began to cry.

"Shush now." he said holding my tightly. "your mother will calm down."

there the tear blur of my eyes I saw Enzo looking up at me his face showed he was sad for me. Unlike my mother he had seen how broken I head been. I didn't mean to keep it from them I just couldn't live with the heart ache of being the one to tell them.
