"Piss off, Jerome!"

Once Lyla and Amber got back to Anubis, they quickly met up with Nina and Fabian, to have a Sibuna meeting in the attic. The two who were at the house, had found a new piece, "What did it look like when the sun shone through the window?" Fabian asked her, as he held up the piece.
"Amazing! Incredible, so... Wow." Nina told him, kind of speechless, as Fabian handed it back to her.
"Someone aced English class." Lyla joked, earning a playful glare from Nina.
"Do you think there's something hidden inside it, like the one before?" The American wondered, "Couldn't hurt to try." Lyla shrugged, holding her hand out for it, but before Nina could hand it to her, they were interrupted by the phonograph.
"He frightens me, he spends a lot of time in his cellar, with dead animals. Dead animals that he stuffs. But what frightens me the most, is his raven; Corbiarre." Young Sarah spoke, making Lyla feel a sense of deja-vu.
"What did she just say?" Amber asked, with wide eyes.
"I'm more convinced than ever, that he's responsible for the deaths of my parents, but I can't prove anything- Ah, he's coming!" Young Sarah said, before they heard something in the background of the recording, "You have five minutes, then I want to be able to hear a pin drop."
"Oh, my, god..." Lyla breathed out, feeling faint as she gripped onto Fabian's shoulder, as they all shared a look as if they'd seen a ghost. "Victor?" Nina said what they were all thinking.

Lyla didn't sleep that night, all she could focus on were each and every creek the house made, scared that Victor was going to come and murder her in her sleep. So, the next morning she was exhausted, and she barely made it to the bathroom as Amber and Nina dragged her out of bed.
Lyla sleepily made her way to the sink ready to brush her teeth when Amber groaned, "I forgot my toothpaste, I'll be back."
The pink haired girl squeezed some toothpaste onto her brush and placed it in her mouth, not noticing the other substance that was also on her toothbrush, as she brushed her teeth. After she was done brushing her teeth she quickly got dressed and went down for breakfast.
Lyla went over and sat in her spot by the window, not noticing the look on Jerome's face, she grabbed a croissant and placed it on her plate.
