Lavender had just come across large dirty shoe prints leading out of her closet and disappearing down the hallway.
"MOM!!" She raced out of her bedroom and into her mother's bedroom "What?" Her mother asked sleepily. She sat in her bed reading a book "someone is IN our house!" Lavender whispered "Lav, darling, nobody is here but you and I. Have you been ready those creepy stories on Pinterest again?" She asked with a slight smirk "No, Mom. Come with me. I'll show you!" She took her mother by the hand and led her back to her bedroom. Her mother gave a loud gasp and in a shaky voice whispered "Y-you're right. Because you're room is clean. God knows you couldn't have done it!" "Shut up! Look-" she pointed to the floor but the tracks had been swept away. "Lav, seriously. Nobody but you and I. What do you want for dinner- oh! I know, want breakfast for dinner?" "Sure." Lavender frowned. Maybe the light had played tricks on her. Maybe the shoe prints had never been there?
She sighed and followed her mom out of the bedroom. Whatever the case, she planned on staying glued to her mom for the rest of the night.
She toasted the Eggos and slathered them with butter and squirted syrup on them while her mom fried up eggs and bacon.
They ate in the living room and watched Frozen 2 then went to bed. Lavender followed her mother to her room and her mothered laughed "really Lav? Still scared? Darling, go to bed. The house is secure. Nobody can get in. Go to bed. You have school tomorrow." She kissed her forehead and sent her on her way.
Lavender had a hard time falling asleep. She finally got up and took her computer chair and crammed it under the closet door. Then, for extra measure, she went to her window and was setting stacks of books around it to make it extra difficult to sneak through quietly but in the middle of it she glanced up just in time to see someone in her driveway slip into the bushes.
"MOM!!" She shouted.
