Mum wake-up look! Y/n opens her eyes and Alice is holding a newspaper another child went missing last night. "Wow first day in town and already there's a crime"
Can we explore now?
After coffee Alice, or we could get coffee out there.. "alright Alice, I'll get dressed"
Y/n gets dressed and hurries downstairs, picking up the paperwork. "Alright I need to go to townhall first to drop this off, to your new school and the office"
I'll explore while you do that? Alice says
Yes, just be home before sundown ok?
Yeah yeah Alice skips off out the door, y/n walks out the door and walks into town.
Approaching townhall giving reception the paperwork, walking to the school enrolling Alice and picking up her uniform. "Now the office, y/n googles the address"
Ok, there it is y/n follows the map. Walking into the building walking to reception "hi I'm y/n I'm suppose to start work here in 13 days, here's my paperwork"
Hi y/n I am Mary-Alice I'm your supervisor, I'll give you a tour and show you your office. How was the drive?
"Tiring, very tiring"
Are the rumours true about Salem?
Yes, they are. "Hm, so finishing time is 4?"
Yes 8-4 Mary-Alice says, you'll be working in the administration division answering phones, filling out orders and filing paperwork. "Simple, thank you"
Welcome y/n Mary-Alice says, and this is your office. "Y/n has a nice office near the window"
Oh this is great, I look forward to starting here. Is there anything else I need to fill out?
No, that's all. See you in 13 days, "oh don't forget your bag"
Y/n picks up the bag with Alice's uniform "ok, now coffee"
Y/n walks out of the office and finds a coffee shop, walking to the counter "hi large soy latte" thanks.
Hi new here?
Yes, just moved here
Cool, don't go out... "after sundown" yea I know thanks
$4 thanks, y/n gives the barista $10

Wait over there, thanks

Y/n hears people crying "my son was taken, please have you seen him?"
Oh lady he's dead you know it, the man says.
"Hey, that's a horrible thing to say y/n says"
She's in pain and you make it worse by saying that?
"It's true"
Even if it is true there's no need to add to her pain!
The woman cries more, have you seen him? "No I'm sorry I only moved in last night"
The woman leaves, "soy latte"
Y/n takes her coffee and walks out, looking at the shops, "mum, hey over here"
Alice calls from the cemetery, "really Alice? The cemetery?" Y/n says as she reaches Alice.
Look at this grave "Billy Butcherson, lost soul" died may 1st 1693. An old grave so interesting "yeah he was poisoned, I read about him"
And Emily Binx too, poor girl!
Hey mum look at that old house down there, there's a light on "fireplace"
That's the Sanderson house, y/n says. "How do you know mum?"
Because it's in its pamphlet "oh right, Alice takes the pamphlet reading it"
How about we meet them? Alice jokes around
"No not a good idea"
You know they kill children right? Since you aren't 16 yet they'll want your soul "they kill virgins"
They kill parents too mum, "yes if they get in the way"
I would die to protect you, even if you hate me "mum I don't hate you, you annoy me"
Well that's my job y/n says, putting an arm around Alice giggling.

Alice jumps, she saw something "mum did you see that?"
See what? Y/n says, "meow"
It's just a cat y/n says, hello puss puss y/n says
Mum it's Binx Alice jokes. "No it's not Binx moved on the first time they died"
Oh right, so it's another person?
I don't think so it's just a regular cat "meow,"
See I'll prove it, y/n pats the cat, the cat rubs his head in y/n's hand. "See?"
Ok mum, we should go, "here's your uniform " Thanks mum. "No worries"
All of a sudden, there's a huge bang followed by a green lightning strike. "Wow, let's go now y/n says grabbing Alice's arm"
Running back to the town, let's go back home Alice.
Heading home Alice and y/n eat lunch and lounge around till dinner time. Watching a movie on the tv before going to bed.
"Mum, I keep having that same nightmare"
What if it's a vision?
I thought you didn't believe?
I don't, but it may be?
It's possible, just don't go out after dark, it sucks I like the dark too but sadly we can't go out after dark unless we go to the town over.
"So dumb"
