Chloe pov

My eyes shot right up, there was a knock on the door. I glanced over at Red, she didn't notice.

There was a knock again, a little louder this time, making me glance over at my phone, the clock just turned 8 am.

There it was again, the knock.

I reached over to Red, squeezing her arm a little, groaning,
"Red I think someone's at the door".

She woke up a little, her eyes adjusting to the light.
- What? She asked in a groggy tone.

- Someone's outside, we need to open.

I slowly lifted the blanked of me, taking small quiet steps towards the door. Dragonfly sat beside it, looking at it confused, she must have heard it too.

I gently pressed the doorknob, pressing the door open and I was met with a flashlight right in my face.

I protected myself from the light by covering my face with my hands, trying to peak to see who was on the other side of the door.

"Are you Chloe Charming?"

"Yes"

"Where sent from the police station, we have a few questions for you and your girlfriend about the Rob case"

"O- Okay"

"We need you two to come down to the police station right now"

"We'll just get dressed"

"Where waiting down at the car, we'll take you there"

"Okay"

I closed the door, slowly turning around feeling the adrenaline pump through my veins. Red sat up in the bed, looking just as scared.

- Hurry up then I guess, I sighed as I walked over to the wardrobe to change from my pajamas.
-

We were situated in a big room, it was a long table with at least twenty chairs. The walls were white and on the left side sat a large clock, ticking making the place even creepier.

There was two police officers in here with us, I met them once before, when Red got burned in class and Rob was the one mixing up the ingredients for Anastasia.

One of the officers held a pen and a paper, writing down the whole conversation.

The other one had questions he needed to sort out.

- When you guys were taking a trip down to Reds house, cause your mom wasn't answering you found a masked man inside her house, correct?

- Yeah, we both nodded.

- At this time, Reds mom were locked in the basement, am I right?

We both nodded again.

- Okay, so who besides you two and Reds mom knew this was going on? Did you share your location with anyone? The police with the questions asked.

- Uhm. Yeah I called my mom for help, I said, remembering calling her.

- Yeah. That matches our story, we even questioned your mom Chloe, about this. She confirmed it. She also confirmed that she was the only one who knew at first, not even your dad, he came when you were at the hospital, correct?

I nodded.

- Now my question is. Where there anyone else near that night? That knew where you were? The police asked, looking questioning at the both of us.

- Well Yeah Chloe's- Red started but I cut her off, panicking.

- NO! I yelled, making everybody turn to look at me confused by my action.

"NO, no one else".

- You certain miss charming?

- Yes, very!

Red looked at me with confusion written all over her face.

- Okay, girls I think were done for today then, but we might bring you down again for further questioning, the question officer says as he stand up, leading us out.

We stood outside the station, I shivered a little from the cold, not wanting to face Red.

- Chlo? What was that, why did you lie? She asked trying to get me to look at her.

I didn't say anything, I just looked down at my shoes, trying to hold it together.

- Why couldn't you tell them Chad was there? Red gently asked, placing her hand on my shoulder.

- Because I never told him where was, neither did mom. He wasn't home the day Rob was killed, I lied saying he was with me, but he wasn't, I cried now, feeling all the emotions dwell over me.

- W- What do you mean Chloe? Red asked, her voice a little shaky.

- I don't think he did it, he probably has a good explanation, but he wasn't home on my birthday either, I cried, looking at red with puffy eyes.

- Wait Chloe, slow down, you knew Chad could have something to do with Robs death and didn't tell me? Red asked, waiting for me to answer.

- I wasn't sure what to believe baby, it was just so strange that he popped up out of nowhere when Anastasia's dad attacked us, I never told him where I was, neither did mom! He also told the police in the ambulance that he knew it was Anastasia's dad, how could he know that? I explained, my voice cracking a few times.

- But baby then he talked to the police, they knew he was there. Why didn't they mention that just now? Why did they ask us? Red panicked, looking deep into my swollen eyes.

- Cause they want me to tell them that I think he did it, they figured it out, they know I'm protecting him... I sighed, realizing I didn't know as much as I thought about my brother.

He actually did have a criminal record, and a history of being very aggressive. My parents had a lot of issues with him growing up. Just didn't think they would affect me too.

- Okey, but if Chad is involved, what reason could he possibly have to kill Rob? He didn't even know the guy!! Red yelled, walking around nervously in a circle.

- Exactly, that means his lying to me, there's something he doesn't want me to know, but Red I don't think he did it, he couldn't!! I cried, looking down and my tears hit the asphalt.

Red hugged me, making circles in my back, trying to calm me down.

- I know baby, and I don't want to think that either, but remember that it's probably Anastasia, she could have threatened him to..? Red asks, wiping the tears from my face, placing a kiss on my cold lips.

- To be honest baby, I think Chads to smart for that, it needs to be something else if he's involved, he knows about this stuff, we have been through this before with him in our family, I explained, as red watched me with comfort in her eyes.

- Oh baby, I'm sorry.

- I need to talk to him, he owes me an explanation! I exclaim, getting a little angry instead.

Do we think they are right or wrong? Could he have a reason? 🤔🤔🤔
