I Don't Want To Say It

July 29

We have no idea where Lady Ursula may be. So we went to that store again, but Annabelle wasn't there. Probably these are one of the days where she does not work. So we asked one of the workers, they told us she wasn't here at the moment. The workers told us that she wasn't working here today, and she only works on other days.

"Excuse me ma'am." I turned around. A little boy was standing there.

"Um... I couldn't help it, but overhear your discussion, I think I may know where Annabelle is." The boy said looking at me. Kujo bent down.

"What's your name?" Kujo asked.

"Peter, Peter Lefèvre." Peter said.

"Well, I'm Kujo, and this is my friend, Victorique."

"Pleased to meet you." I said. Peter said, "I'm Annabelle's cousin, so I'm pretty sure I know her well." He said. Kujo and I looked at each other. Should we trust this child? Of course, we haven't got a single clue where Lady Ursula's house may be.

"Hey, do you know Lady Ursula?" Kujo asked Peter.

"Of course, who doesn't?"

"Do you know where she may live?" I asked.

"I don't know, only Annabelle knows."

"Should we start going?" I said impatiently.

"Alright." Peter said. Kujo stood up, brushing his knees; He didn't got them dirty, so why should he brush his knees? Peter led the way for us. He didn't seem mysterious like Annabelle, but more of a straight-forward and plain child.

"So where are we going?" Kujo asked.

"The library, that's where Annabelle likes to go." Peter replied. The library? In my opinion, Annabelle doesn't really look like a person who would go to a library. Once we made it, Peter stopped for a bit and looked at us.

"Are you sure you want to know where Lady Ursula lives?" We nodded.

"I don't think you should find out."

"Why's that?" We both asked at the same time.

"B-Because..." Peter looked down, is he scared? "N-Nothing..." Peter said. He opened the doors to the library. The library was awfully spacious, although not many people are in the library currently. I took a deep breath. The library is so beautiful and lovely! I blinked a couple of times, but Peter wasn't there. I'm assuming he left, but for what reason?

"You look upstairs, while I look downstairs." I said. Kujo nodded. Kujo ran up the stairs leading to the second floor of the building, while I stayed downstairs. I searched the building for Annabelle. But as I walked around the building, I felt a chill run up my spine. Why was Peter scared? Why did he left in such a hurry? Before I can thank him for leading us to this library? Is he scared of Annabelle? The library? Or maybe even Lady Ursula? I searched, and searched, until finally, my searching payed off for once. Annabelle is reading in the far-end corner of the library, sitting down on the floor while reading a book. The book was titled "Tea Ceremonies". Is she interested in tea ceremonies of some sort? She looked up at me, eyeing me suspiciously, then, she grinned.

"Oh my, aren't you the girl I saw yesterday? What brings you here?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Victorique." "Annabelle." She replied grinning.

"I'm here because I wanted to know where Lady Ursula lives."

"Why's that?" "Because she may be a suspect in our mystery."

"What mystery?" I told her everything, from beginning to end. Annabelle placed her hands on her chin.

"Lady Ursula lives on Evergreen Lane."

"What's Evergreen Lane?"

"Evergreen Lane is a place near a cemetery, says to be haunted by spirits. There's a church, a small restaurant, a blacksmith, and... That's all I know that's in there, not much actually, sorry if that didn't help you very much."

"Oh no! It's alright!" I said. "Thank you." I said bowing down.

"You're welcome." She said. I waved at her, and she waved at me back. I went to share the news with Kujo, it appears we know where Lady Ursula may live.
