Be Somebody

Grave Secrets Digging

Hello, everyone! This chapter is a filler chapter which was kinda hard to write because I felt unmotivated lately. 

Sorry for the delay in chapters but I just writing the 26th chapter and the chapters aren't pre-written. 

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

The weeks that came were full on stress. Mornings they were classes, lunchtimes paired with some brainstorming or attempting to create/check the brewing of some potion.

And in all of this mess, Nansia noticed how Peter, Lizzie's and Josie's cousin, would look at her and in general at them whenever they would rush away from the cafeteria the moment they got their food. The suspicion and anger as if they were causing him actual physical harm!

It rubbed her the wrong way...

Peter wanted so badly to figure out what his cousins and friends were hiding and why wasn't he clued in?

But we never know how lucky people are when they're blissfully unaware and Peter will grow older and regret snooping in.

Peter's snooping started when he broke into his cousins' room and tried to look through their notebooks since he didn't found any of their laptops. And that was during lunch. And like that he went through everyone's rooms including Penelope's and Nansia's room. And all of them were clean...clean to his eyes. While snooping in MG's and Kaleb's room he missed a few things that could have clued him in but Peter himself had no idea what he was looking for in the first place.

He realized it when he found himself in the school's library researching topics for one of his projects and overheard the following conversation;

"So, how is the potion making going?" Lizzie asked her sister, Josie.

"It's going. I'm finishing the final touches to it. Is the next phase ready?" Josie asked slightly nervous.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Josie nervously asked her sister whose sigh was heard loudly and it was a sigh of annoyance.

"Yep! Let's go! Ryan is about to arrive and we have lot of work to get done!" Lizzie exclaimed in a bossy tone as she grabbed Josie arm and essentially run to the Old Mill.

Peter took that chance to follow them and see what they were doing. He arrived at the Old Mill and the once empty party space that even looked abandoned was now a full blown lab and research area maybe even a library! And on the side of the building they were herb gardens with blooming herbs. How did they manage to do this without Uncle Alaric or Aunt Caroline realize it?

Do they even pay attention at this point?!

He had a half a mind to storm in and demand answers but he saw Nansia with somewhat tall guy with curly dark hair. The guy was dressed in a black leather jacket and black wool shirt underneath paired with washed out dark jeans and black boots. That guy and Nansia were casually holding hands when they arrived that made Peter realize that they were in some sort of relationship. It would be very awkward if he later learns they're brother and sister...

But we know they aren't.

Watching from the shadows and a not very far distance and tried to use his werewolf hearing but he couldn't, they had put a silence spell all over the Old Mill! So, he ended up watching a form of mysterious charades of the tall guy giving his blood and pieces of hair and skin willingly to his twin cousins who preserving them in weird yellow napkins from the cafeteria. What are they doing?

Then he saw Penelope appearing with a werewolf guy he recalled being introduced to with the name Rafael and carrying a microscope. And Lizzie giving them the napkin with the skin sample and Penelope started studying it while dictating things to Rafael who was writing them down in a notebook.
