Looking at the row of houses in front of us, we didn't know whether we consider it a place to live or not since it was covered with smoke and the remains were charcoal grey. They had  learned the hard way, it was not our fault that the whole place burnt down.

A voice interrupted my train of thoughts.

“Ms. Cranine? Can i have some moment with you and your friend, it has something to do about the party you have been to recently?” The police officer called after us while jotting down on his notepad. I looked at Clare making her shrug and nod.

“So what seems to be the problem, sir?” I asked, making the officer sigh and look at us. “It seems like, the both of you survived the building that cause the village fire earlier huh?" the officer stated making Clare scoff, “Yeah, lucky us." “So have you seen anything peculiar or someone suspicious inside the house that seem to start the fire?”

“Some lighters and oil lamp, that’s all” I said while he scribbles on his notepad. “Thank you for your time ladies, I’m sorry if some friends of yours has been caught in the accident, stay safe always.” He said, leaving Clare and me nod at each other as we remembered something from earlier.
