It was one in the morning when John Gilbert finally got home.

He opened the front door to the Gilbert House and switched on the light to be greeted with Kelsey who was asleep on the sofa in the living room.

He made his way to his sleeping daughter and gently shook her awake. As the girl opened her eyes her dad said in a soft voice " what are you doing here, sweetheart? You should be asleep in your bed not on our sofa".

Kelsey sat up and looked at her dad with sleepy eyes before answering her dad's question. "I wanted to wait for you. What happened?" She asked with concern.

"It's nothing to worry about Kat just go to bed" John said to his youngest child as he made his way to the kitchen to grab two bottles of water from the fridge.

Kelsey followed her dad in the kitchen and took one of the water bottles he offered her. "It's like one in the morning, you never work this late. That means something bad happened just tell me, daddy" she said wanting to know what's going on.

" We found a dead body in the woods" he stated hesitantly. "What?" Kelsey asked with wide eyes now fully awake. "It looks like a mountain lion attacked a camper. I want you and your friends to stay out of the woods until we found it, okay sweetheart?" He said in worry about the girls safety.

"Oh my god, we were there just yesterday afternoon. And the woods aren't that far away from our house. What if it gets in here?" Kelsey asked worried. "I'm really scared daddy".

Her dad made his way to the scared girl and wrapped his arms around her while saying in a protective voice "Don't worry about that Kat. I have a gun and I will do anything to protect you and your siblings, sweetheart. And when you stay out of the woods like I told you nothing will happen." Kelsey nodded at that now feeling much safer. She made her way upstairs after saying a quick 'good night' to her dad.

She tip toed to her Sister's room and quietly opened the door. She slipped in and quietly closed it behind her. She whispered shouted "Lena?" Elena sat abruptly up in her bad and looked at her sister with tired eyes.

"Lena you need to hear this!" she said while sitting at the end of the older twins bed. Elena switched on her night stand lamp and looked at Kelsey expectingly. "Dad just got home and told me they found a dead body in the woods" she breathed a little exited. "What? You joking right?" Elena asked with eye wide in fear. Kelsey shook her head while saying "apparently a mountain lion attacked a camper." Her Sister's eyes widened even more at that sentence, if even possible.

"What if it gets in here? The woods are like two minutes away" she said totally freaking out. Kelsey took one of Elenas hands in her own while speaking. " You know dad. He has a gun and he is a cop. I don't think there is any place safer than our house" she said trying to calm the frightened girl. Elena nodded at that and the room fell in silence.

After a few minutes Elena spoke up.
"Kat?" The girl answered with an 'hmm' as she looked at her twin. "Can you sleep her tonight?" She asked still scared. Kelsey got up from Elenas bed making her way to her own room what got her a confused look from the dopplganger. "Just let me get my cushion and plushi" she said while exiting the room.
