"Cassie, can you come here for a second?"
Molly yelled from the garden.
I stand up and take an umbrella as it was raining and run to the door „What a nice weather" i say to myself on a sarcastic voice and open the umbrella.
As i'm walking down the garden i see Molly smiling at me:
- What is going on? i ask a bit chilly.
- Nothing, i just want to show you my mum's beautiful pumpkins that she planted here, Molly says and waves at her mum sitting on the balcony.
Molly takes me by the hand and pulls me into the corner of the garden hidden from her mum's eyes by the house wall.
- Cassie, something strange is going on, Molly says and looks around.
I look at her with a blank stare and glance around to make sure that no one can see or hear us:
- You were right, my mum was awake the other day when you asked me why she was in your room, but then she pretended to be asleep when i entered her room, Molly says and moves around as the pouring rain soaks her clothes:
- Do you have nightmares too? i ask.
- Yes, and last night i heard mum talking to herself downstairs where Jenna's casket was, Molly says looking into my eyes, i think we need to start investigating, something doesn't feel right...
We're sitting in the rain looking at each other not knowing where to start:
- Aidan! i yell.
- What about him? Molly asks with curiosity.
- He told me about some secret and to ask you as many questions as i can.
Molly looks at me annoyed:
- He thinks i'm part of whatever my mum is onto?
- Maybe, or maybe not but he told me to not trust Anna...i say leaning on the garden wall.
- So we need to find him, right? Molly asks.
- Yes, but i don't know where to find him...Molly, how did your sister die?
Molly felt uneasy, „She drowned in the Bay Lake" she replied avoiding eye contact.
- How? i ask.
- I don't know...my mum said that she tried to lean back from her water jet and fell...
I take a step closer to Molly „And do you believe her?" i ask without a guilt.
Molly looks at me with realisation and nod her head in disapproval:
- We need to find Aidan! i say.
- Did he ever mentions where he live when you guys first met at the cemetery? Molly asks while circling the area around:
- The cemetery!! Molly, you're a genius! i say and grab her by the hand.
The cemetery is covered in silence with lit candles near the church.
It's peaceful and cold, with the night fog touching the gravestones.
I styled my blonde hair in a pony tale with a black leather skirt combined with a white blouse and a white long cardinal that touches my feet:
- Do i look good? i ask Molly as i put on some lipstick.
- I've never seen you like this before, Molly says and smile, you are breathtaking Cassie, i'm sure Aidan knows that!
I hug Molly and as we talk we found our way to the church entrance:
- It's so empty here, like never before, Molly says looking around.
- I feel like i'm being watched...i say.
- Yeah it's a weird feeling.
- It's pretty late, maybe that's why we're having this feeling, i say taking a step forward in the church.
The smell of dust makes me sneeze, „bless you" a voice said from the back part of the church. My heart skip a beat and i look at Molly not seeing anyone around us:
- It's very spooky for a church, Molly says and holds my hand, remind me again what we're doing here at nine o'clock at night?
- Looking for Aidan, Molly focus!
As we get lost deeper in the church walls surrounded by benches and lit candles and approaching the back of the church my heart stood still for a second as i spotted a dark figure sitting on the bench shrouded in shadows. I look at Molly and know that she's terrified but we decide to approach the figure.
Which each caution steps we took, we moved slowly careful not to make a sound, as if the air around me held its breath, urging me to approach the unknown presence without dragging attention.
Molly grabs me by the hand and takes a step back.
„The figure disappeared" she whispers.
I turn around to look at Molly and on a calm voice i say:
- You gotta be kidding me...
-Let's just go, let's find Aidan another...
- Find me? Aidan interrupted Molly.
- Aidan Hi! i say, what are you doing here at this hour?
- Praying, what about you two? why were you looking for me Molly? Aidan asks and sits down on the bench in front of us.
- You need to help us, i say.
- Yes? he continues.
Molly moves around the church scratching the back of her hand. „It's about my mum" she says „She's been really weird lately", Molly continues.
- And you told me about some secret, i say and sit down next to him, please help us...
Aidan looks at me with an indifferent look on his face and as he stands up he says:
- Cassie...i already told you...
- Please Aidan, Molly says from the other side of the bench, we need answers, is my mum in danger?
- She's not but you and Molly are... Aidan says.
Molly and i are sitting next to Aidan looking at each other:
- Your mother isn't really your mother, i mean she is but not really, Aidan continues and goes to the window, that's all i can tell you...But if you need more answers go to Vexon and ask doctor Isaac Wilson about me, he will know what to do after that.
Aidan stands up giving a slight nod before striding out of the church, leaving behind a smell of aftershave and cigarettes.
„We have to head to Vexon" i say „At least we finally have a starting point" Molly continues.
