Shiloh's POV-
March 24th 2019. 10:45 am

As mummy and I sit in her old room I look around "mummy?"

"Yes sweetie?" She answers and turns her attention to me

"Did someone kill grandpa?" I ask as i grab my backpack and search for my camera.

"No. Your uncle is just paranoid." She looks at my camera "you can take pictures in the house babe. Just don't go out the front door."

I nod and get up before rushing off "love you mummy!" I shout and run to the basement.

Suddenly there is music. This is the song mummy plays when she is sad.

I hit the basement with a run and look around smiling.

'Children behaaaave!' The song belts out

I look in the kitchen and see uncle Klaus getting off the table looking at the ceiling

'Thats what they say when we're together'

He grabs the urn with grandpa's ashes and starts dancing. I giggle and hold up my camera. As he holds out the urn and spins i snap the picture. Then i head up the stairs dancing slightly. I come upon aunt Vanya.

'And watch how you play'

I hide behind a pillar and aim for a shot. She closes her eyes and does an awkward spin with her arms wide and a smile on her face. Thats when i shoot. She looks happy and calm.

'They don't understand and so we're running just as fast as we can'

I sneak into the living room and hide behind the sofa. Uncle Diego is doing something with an invisible fishing rod. I aim and shoot before dancing away. I go upstairs and see aunt Allison's door cracked.

'Holding onto one another's hand. Time to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then you say!'

She had a pinkish boa around her neck and she was on her knees on her bed. She was mouthing the lyrics and dancing. I giggle and snap a shot. Before spinning my way to uncle Luther's room.

'I think we're alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now. The beating of our hearts is the only sound.'

I look in the door and uncle Luther is swinging his arms around. I line up and snap just as her punches his arms up and knocks down a model airplane hanging from the ceiling. I giggle and go to mummy's room.

'Look at the waay we gotta hide what we're doing. Cause what would they say if they ever knew and so we're running just as fast as we can.'

I peek through the door and mummy has a large stuffed bunny in her arms and snowflakes falling around her. She is jumping around with a giant grin on her face. I point my camera and snap just as she jumps. She looked beautiful.

'Holding onto one another's hand. Time to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then you say.'

I go into a room that is closed and see the walls are chalkboard and there are books on the floor. Uncle Five's room. I giggle and set up the timer on the camera before jumping on his bed and jumping around. Having fun.

'I think we're alone now there doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now.'

The camera snaps and i flop on the bed before rolling around and squealing happily.

'The beating of our hearts is the only sound. I think we're alone now. there doesn't seem to be anyone around.'

I stand up and giggle as i dance my way over to my camera to take a picture of Grandma grace

'I think we're alone now. The beating of our hearts is the only sound.'

Suddenly there is a flash of blue and a clash of thunder. I catch my camera before it flies at the wall. "Mummy!" I call scared now. What's going on?
