LOCKWOOD & CO - A wedding

7

Lucy's POV:

"So these are the rest of my sisters." I gesture to the girls in front of me, directing my hand to point at each one. "Diane, Sarah, Willow, Caroline of course, and Peggy-Ann." I then move my hand to point at my friends. "Guys, these are my friends and co-workers, Holly, Lockwood, and George."

"Nice too meet you." Caroline holds her hand out for them to shake, which they gladly do.

After I introduced everyone I lead them upstairs to the rooms.

"So, Holly and I will share my old room, and you two will share Diane, Willow, and Sarah's old room." I lead the boys to there room, and have them set there stuff down telling them we would leave the house soon. The I escort Holly to my room to set our stuff down.

Then I lead them out of the house.

"So, what are we even doing?" George complains.

"Taking a walk, I can't bear to stay in the house with some of those girls."

"Oh." He pretends to be thinking. "Now i'm going to ask why."

"Because my attitude and there teasing makes things crazy, then awkward and uncomfortable for everyone. Also my mom will come home from work in 10 minutes and I wanna give her time to settle down so she doesn't feel as worked up."

So we walked.

And we continued walking in silence. Although ever so often Holly or George would point to something and ask to see if I knew what that thing was. I was kinda surprise Lockwood didn't do the same but you never know with him.

I look around at my surroundings and notice just how far we came out. So I direct them around before we get to far into the town.

And looking around I notice how many houses and buildings have been knocked down, or abandoned. It was weird. Like all these places I knew are gone. I recognized the area that was my childhood friends old house and walk over to inspect.

Then I notice something. It looked like ashes, and smelled like ashes.

"They burnt down the house."

Holly dropped down next to me, and after her George and Lockwood. So I explain.

"This house belonged to a old friend of mine. And instead of house there's ground and ash left."

I look up and notice that other surrounding places are also in the same state.

"What are they doing with the houses?" George asks.

"I don't know. . ." What I could say.

What could I say?! I didn't honestly didn't know what was going on.

Lockwood presents a idea. "Let's ask to see if Mary knows when we get back."

"Okay."
