Curious Adventurer

The Body

Pennie already got past getting ready for school. It was quite hard for her to do because of her physical condition. But the heavy feeling that she has experienced died down a bit after getting out of the house. She had already taken the test that was given today. She didn't study at all, because it wasn't assigned. It was a surprise that was given to all. But it is known that Pennie does not have to study for a test because she listens to the teacher.

"Pennie, where are we going today?" Lucy asked.

"Can we go back to the building?" Pennie asked whispering, leaning towards the blond girl from behind her. She was still haunted by her headache, and that gave her a hard time focusing. But she was still aware of her plan and how it should be executed.

Lucy answered her with a big no. Lucy was being very careful not to upset Abigail about going. The idea of going back therto the building, evidently, made Lucy feel scared. She has already been thinking about it, but in no way did she think of it the way Pennie did. 

"Come on." Pennie says, trying to pursuade Lucy.

"Abigail will get mad." Lucy fights. She has always been thinking about how Abigail gets mad at Pennie.

"So? She always is." Pennie knew that if her friend did not go, her plan would go to wreck, which may lead her to getting caught.

Lucy finally agreed to go, just so as long as she can pursuade Abigail to come with them. Pennie was successful doing so. Johnny needed no talk, he came with after Pennie asked him. Abigail and Johnny were only there to protect the two, and to also prevent the two girls from anything that might make them even protect them.

The four were all in there bikes, making there way to the building. Yet again, they were greeted by the two choices they have to make a decision for. Again, they chose to go left.

Pennie felt like she was the odd-one-out. The three are all wondering about what would they see or experience after walking through the forest. But Pennie knew, she knew all that would greet them, even before the building.

The four are now walking through the forest, leaving their bikes in the road. Pennie walked first, towards the building, opposite of where her mother is. She wanted Lucy to go first so she would lead the way to her mother but she always goes first and it might be obvious that she was planning something.

Second comes Lucy, who's Pennie's plan on depends on now. Third is Johnny, and as usual the upset Abigail was behind everyone.

"What is that smell?" Lucy asks, shouting the question for the rest to hear. Pennie didn't wrap her mother's body, or even try to cover it up. She was just right there, lying there. But, lucky is Pennie for her plan is going well.

Lucy makes an impulsive decision to follow the stench she had smelled. Everyone smelled it, even Pennie. It was only Lucy that chose to speak up first. Everyone followed Lucy to where she went.

Lucy screamed, out of shock, at the top of her lungs, covering her mouth after. Everyone came running to see what Lucy was seeing. Pennie, she thinks, did a great job pretending that she didn't know what was ahead of her.

"What is it?" Abigail screaming asking Lucy. She reached Lucy and stood beside her. Johnny and Pennie too. They all had their own pair of eyes widen so much out of shock.

Luckily, again, for Pennie. The body was laid down facing down, not facing the trees and sunshine the beautiful day had. The body also was covered with blood, so it was going to be hard for anyone of the three to realize that it was Pennie's mother.

Body and blood was what they saw, a body laying down. None of the four was able to talk or even move away from the body. None was able to think about what they should do next. They all just stood there, looking.

"Let's go home and call the police." It took a while for the a single person to even move, but Abigail spoke up. The three were still there, even though Abigail already made a decision for them.

"Let's go." She shouts. Made the three go back and went towards the silent road again. They picked up their bikes and rode back to Abigail's house. The group was utterly silent during their ride. Lucy was barely catching up with the others. Abigail was trying to pretend that everything was fine, knowing that she needed to do something. Johnny did not have a definite reaction. Pennie was trying not to be obvious by being silent.

Finally reached home, they went inside. Mr. Frank, Abigail's father, told them hello. But Abigail immediately reached for the phone and called the police. Lucy and Johnny had a seat, still as silent as they were. Pennie did the same thing as the pair. Abigail, already called the police and informed them about the body they've seen, while it shocked her father while doing so, she was successful with it.

Mr. Frank asked the four what happened. None was able to answer. Even though he heard everything already, he was still clueless.

Abigail shed a tear, Mr. Frank tried comforting her, but it was so obvious that he had no idea what to do.

Someone knocked on the door, which made all look.
