Secrets Of Ying Yang Mansion

Chapter Five

The next day Leona drove Luna and herself to school and when they pulled into the parking space next to Nitara's car. Nitara and Mike flew out of the car and hugged the two sisters tightly.

"What's up with the sudden show of affection?" Luna asked slightly weirded out by her two friends' behaviors.

"Yeah seriously." Leona added, also confused about what happened.

"We stopped by your house last night because I forgot to give back the book I borrowed from Luna. You're house was broken into and there was blood all over the floor and we couldn't find either of you or your mom. We reported you to the police but we had to wait until tonight to report you officially missing. Stupid twenty-four hour rule. So where's your mom? What happened? Do you know?"

"Whoa, whoa calm down!" Leona said and she looked at Luna and Luna nodded, knowing what Leona was thinking. "Get in Nitara's car. We'll tell you but you guys have to promise that you won't tell anyone what we're going to tell you." Leona added.

Once they all got into Nitara's car Leona told Nitara and Mike what happened with their mom. She left out the part about Devon finding them and helping them because she knew they would freak out once they found out. As far as Nitara and Mike knew they spent the night in Leona's car. They even put some blankets and pillows in the trunk of the car to help pass their story along before they went to school just in case they were asked.

"Wow, you got away pretty easily then if your mom hit you with a smoldering pot."

"Yeah, it felt hotter than it was I guess. Luna iced it for me."

"How'd you pull that off if you slept in your car?"

"We went to a gas station and bought some strong sandwich bags and ice from the soda machine. Once we were in the car, we took the ice and made an ice pack. We did have to put a little make up on it that we bought from the dollar store though." Luna said pulling out some cover-up from her pocket and shook it in her hand.

"So do you have your homework and what not?"

"Yeah, we finished it Friday it's in our locker so we weren't screwed out of that." Leona said. "We'd probably have to head to the police station after school gets out so that way the police won't start looking for us or something."

"Good idea." Luna agreed. "Sorry we made you worry. We didn't expect anyone to show up after we left. Mom probably just left to get drunk even more than she was before and forgot to close the door again. It wouldn't be the first time she did that."

"Then why was the window smashed?"

"Oh, that happened when she threw her glass mug at me. I ducked and it went out the window. Luna, you picked it up, didn't you?"

"Yeah. It was shattered and I threw it out over the weekend once we got settled."

"So where did you guys hide at?"

"The rest stop on the highway near the woods. You know that little parking lot truckers go to stop for the night so they can sleep. The police didn't mention anything to us because we weren't doing anything illegal. We'll head back there after we head to the police station."

"You have to come to one of our houses. I could always ask my mom if you can move in with us. There's no way you two are going to live out of your car until you can manage to get an apartment of your own." Nitara replied.

"We'll be fine. Don't worry." Luna smiled.

"You two are hiding something. Spill." Nitara demanded.

"Wait, does it have to do with Ying-Yang mansion?" Mike asked.

"You two went back!?" Nitara asked.
