This isn't over?

It has been two months since Aunt's death. We moved to a new house but that doesn't stop the nightmares which haunt mom. But excluding that, everything is good and normal again. Although Rebecca had turned my life into something I never wished for, I was living a completely normal life again. These two months had been really disturbing for everyone. Lucie had nightmares of seeing aunt die. She told me how aunt died and I would get scared on imagining how horrific the situation was. As I was thinking about what all had happened in the past few months, Jason came shouting.

"Caroline!! Remember our cousin Eric? He's coming to live with us for some time! Exciting isn't it?" I smiled at him and nodded. 

Mom and I went to the airport to pick him. Or them. He came with a girl who wore a black dress which matched her skin tone perfectly and matched her white pendant and black bracelet as well. Her dressing sense was amazing! 

"Hey, Caroline!  Meeting you after such a long time! This is Jenna Waldorf. Jenna this is Caroline, my cousin."

She said hello to me and her voice was sweet. Eric told that she'll be living with us. Well, that was good. At least I had someone to talk to. As we reached home, Lucie came to welcome us, just like she welcomed us. 

"Hello Eric and Jenna!" Both of them said hello to Lucie and came inside. To be honest, from the day Eric came to live with us, he's been talking to Jenna all the time! They both must be really good friends. He didn't even give me time to talk to Jenna. But that's okay! I asked mom where Jenna was and she told me that she was probably in Eric's room. I went to his room, hoping to see Jenna but she wasn't there. Instead, I saw Eric talking to himself. I went to him and asked what he was doing. 

"Jenna's birthday is coming soon! I was just thinking what we all should do on her birthday." 

"Oh! That's great. When is her birthday?"

"29th July. By the way, it's getting pretty late now, I'm going to sleep now. Good night!"

"Good night!" I said and left the room, excited to celebrate her birthday.

The next day, I went to visit aunt Vera's grave. I hadn't been there since she passed away because I couldn't get over what happened. I gathered some flowers from the garden and left. As I reached there, something caught my eye. It was the grave beside aunt's grave.  The name on it was of someone named Jenna Waldorf. I was surprised. Another thing that caught my eye was the birth date. It said "29th July 1987". The words of Eric flashed in my mind. The date 29th July... I was busy staring at the grave when someone whispered in my ear, "This is just a secret." I thought that life was normal again... But I guess I was wrong... Dead wrong...
