~Friday (9:42 AM)~

"Hey, Mom so you know that once we go back to school after spring break we will be taking our final exams at some point. Summer is right around the corner! I am about to be starting high school!"

Maria- "Right and yes you are"! I did not get to go to school, but I can tell you that once you turn fourteen life goes by so fast."

Mother was right, I was never the type that wanted to grow up fast. If If I could be a kid again I would. Especially since my parents are so much older now (56 and Rudy... 37).

"Totally, but Rudy and I... we are you and Dad's babies for life."

Maria- "Yeah..." *slight smile*

"Well I am going to go study for those finals, I am going to have so many. I am going to be studying all day."

Well, I did study all morning, but not all day...

~(11:45 AM)~

Okay, this time no falling off the porch's roof. I have a backpack full of supplies.

*Climbs out the window, hangs from the porch, and drops down*

Woah almost lost my balance there.

Uncle, William here I come! After twenty years I may be able to bring you justice and many others as well. *a tear runs down my cheek* It is okay I got this and my friends got me.

~12:05 PM (In Jackson's car)~

Jackson- "Yo Mike did you bring the snacks?"

Michael- "You know I did!"

Jackson- "Sweet!"

~Fifteen minutes on the road (12:20 PM)~

We stopped at a gas station for a bathroom break. In the station, I accidentally bumped into a guy.

"Oh, Sorry!"

Guy- Do not be, my name is Daniel. *reaches to shake my hand*

"Selena". *I shook his hand he did not let go*

He made me blush and he is cute.

Daniel- "Uhh... Can I get your telephone number?!"

Uh.. sur-

Jackson- "Selena! Come on we got what we need."

As I gave him the piece of paper with my number on it, Jackson grabbed my arm and led me out... *giving Daniel a dirty look* Woah, what was that all about?

~back in Jackson's car~

"Jackson, what was that?"

Jackson- "Look we have to get to this mansion on time before your parents get suspicious."

"Yeah, right."

I knew otherwise I never saw him look so angry before. I know I kissed his cheek that week, but I was just trying to show appreciation. He is good-looking, but I like being his friend... best friend. I hope this does not affect our relationship.

That situation did not, but we all did grow up and slowly apart, especially since Jackson finished school two years before us.

~Outside the mansion (12:35 PM)~

"I cannot believe we are actually here!"

"Thank you, Jackson, Megan... and coming along for emotional support, Michael." *we all laughed*

It was burned badly, but still standing, most definitely was not safe for anyone to be inside. Too bad we are not just anyone.

"Well, come on guys we are on a time frame here"!

The front door was locked, so we made our way around the back and came upon a cellar door, Michael found a large rock and broke the lock off. You could smell the water damage from the pipes being busted from the fire and the mildew, not to mention the dust everywhere.

Megan- *covers her nose* "Well here goes nothing."

Michael- "Wait let me go first". *he grabbed Megan's arm*

We made our way up the basement steps and into a hallway, the mildew smell still lingered but it smelt much better up here than in the basement. When there is mildew there is mold we best to move quickly.

"Guys we need to move quickly, but cautiously, we do not need to inhale too much of whatever could be in here."

*everyone agreed*

~About twenty minutes later~

I know why I came here, but we have been looking around for twenty minutes...

"Oh my gosh, guys I remember, we need to go to the eldest sister's/ daughter's room, Barbara!"

We hurried upstairs, and after opening three doors we finally found Barbara's room I only knew because of the beautiful mirror from my vision from last week.

Megan- "uhh, Selena what exactly are you trying to find"?

I walked up to the mirror and placed my hand flat on it... Something happened... Very strange. A portal started to form *I quickly removed my hand, my heart racing* my visions felt like dreams, but this felt different.

"Did you guys see tha- guys?!"

I turned to my friends for them to no longer be behind me. Then I looked around the room it almost looked the same except... untouched like before the fire, before that night.
