━━━━━ THE BLOOD WAS thick as she cleaned it out of the grass. She didn't want Nancy or her father to know that she had gotten the blood bucket, but she knew she'd tell Nancy eventually. Alora didn't understand how she could be marked, why was death coming after her? Was it because she and Nancy were trying to solve the case of Tiffany Hudson and Lucy Sable? Or was it something else? When she had finally cleaned up the blood from the grass she walked back into the house and moved up the steps heading to her room.
In the hours after cleaning up the blood she had taken a shower. Her dad had come home at some point but she stayed in her room, not really keen on talking to him. The rain was pouring outside, and she sat on her bed bouncing her leg up and down waiting for her sister to return so she could tell Nancy what had happened. When Nancy finally did return she stood up and walked out of her room. She moved towards Nancy's room but their dad had beat her to the door and proceeded to knock on it.
"Waited up for you last night." Carson said.
"You don't have to do that anymore. I'm not a kid." Nancy remarked.
"Where did you sleep?"
"I was at a friend's house."
"Yeah, that friend being Ned Nickerson."
"Can we be honest with each other?"
Nancy proceeded to chuckle. "Sure. What happened to the bloody dress that used to be in the attic?" Nancy proceeded to ask him.
"Ooh that's a good one Nance."
"I threw it away. It was part of an old, dumb joke."
"It's not in any of our trash cans. Lor and I checked."
"The trash got picked up this morning. Nancy, what are you doing? Sneaking around, digging through trash cans? You're about to be arraigned on felony charges for burglary and trespassing at the morgue, along with your sister. Which I know you're out there Alora you can come in." Alora listened and walked into the room standing at the entrance, briefly looked at Nancy and her father. "You both need to be putting your best foot forward with the judge. Is it possible that you can keep out of trouble for the next few days?"
"I'll do my best, counselor. Anything else you need to relay?" Nancy asked him.
"You're right. You're not kids. But you and your sister are my kids." After Carson had said those words, the doorbell rang followed by the thunder rumbling. "I have a client." He then walked out of the room leaving the twins behind.
"Nancy, I need to tell you something." Alora said.
"Okay, we can talk about it on the way to work." Nancy replied.
