      ━━━━━ "I OFTEN WONDERED what death would be like, the impending question became more real when Nancy and I lost our mother. I knew I was different from my sister, simply because I was always thinking about death. Thinking about the way I'd die when my time was here. Thinking about what others went through when it was time for them to die. But the question of what death would be like became more real when I knew it was always following me around like a ghost."

In the late night of August 31st 2000 Lucy Sable gave birth to two twin girls at the Bluffs. The young teenager had handed them over to Kate and her husband Carson Drew. The husband and wife looked down at the two girls that each of them held in their hands. When Carson was the first to look up Lucy Sable was no longer there. Handing the child he had in his hand over to his wife he moved over to the edge of the cliff but saw no sign of Lucy. She died that night and became something of a legend in the town of Horseshoe Bay.

Kate and Carson took their new found daughters and left the small town moving to London. Eventually they moved back to Horseshoe Bay to raise the girls there. Alora and Nancy Drew had a knack for trying to solve any type of mystery that would fall into their laps. However when they got older and their mother got sick it was just one mystery they couldn't solve no matter how hard they tried searching for an answer. Alora walked through Horseshoe Bay reminiscing over her memories.

"Horseshoe Bay's most infamous Sea Queen wore her crown for only one night. People say she still haunts our town."

Alora stood with Nancy's friends as they spun her around. "Three, four, five. You'll never get out of here alive!" They shouted, pushing her towards Lucy Sabel's gravestone. "You're our Sea Queen, Nancy Drew." Alora smiled at her sister as she looked at the gravestone. She then turned to look back at them.

"Seriously, guys?" Nancy asked.

"Yeah, put it on there."

"Yeah. You have to put it on the gravestone, or else it's not official." Nancy briefly looked back at them. "Come on."

Alora watched her sister take the crown off the top of her head and walk closer to the stone placing it on top. It was placed with the other crowns that lay on top.

"Now you're one of them."

"Ooh! You are now."

"All hail the Sea Queen."

"Yeah. All hail the Sea Queen."

Nancy's boyfriend then jumped up from behind the gravestone causing the four to scream. Soon their screams turned into laughter.

"I totally got you." He said, as Nancy kissed him.

Alora glanced passed the two, she saw something in the fog, something that felt familiar to her. She started walking past Nancy's friends, Nancy followed behind her. Alora was certain that she and Nancy had seen the same thing. A ghost.
