"Oh my god" Cheryl replied as she saw what she was pointing at. Chills running up their spine, their eyes were filled with shock with a cold sensation running through them.

Their faces turned white as realization dawned upon them. Fear stricken of the discovery they've made. The air around seemed to have turned cold as lumps started to form in their throats, along with the feeling as if someone was watching them. Although, in reality, no one really was, except for the two boys. 

"It can't be, could it?" Toni asked.

"It is Toni....it's...him" Cheryl said in a state of shock. "Does the picture of Alejandro have a date?"

"November 4th, 1759" Toni replied as she checked the back of the picture. Cheryl started flipping through the pages, trying to find the right page that matched the date of the picture. Then she found it, and her face got paler.

"Here," she said as she pointed to the shadow man in the background, "his face is blurred, but he has the same outfit as Alejandro in the picture" 

"He's been following them" Toni whispered in shock.

 Then she got up from Cheryl's lap to retrieve all the other photos she took with her. They started comparing each picture of Alejandro to the shadow man. It all matched up. They had the same build, same hair, same clothes each day. But why did he do it?

Then they came to the last picture of Alejandro. The picture was of him with people that looked to be a couple of his friends at a park of some sort, he was in a black button up and a pair of pants, his hair was in the quiff he always he had, he was looking to the side.. But this picture seemed to be different. It had a different aura to it. It seemed...dark.

They went back to the album to see where this picture matched, and it matched with the last photo in the album. The picture was of Isabella and Charlotte sitting bellow a tree with their backs against it, holding each other's hands as they were laughing at something. They looked at peace. As Cheryl was searching the background for anything more, she saw Alejandro, starring at the two women with a look of pure rage in his eyes. 

"TT is this everything?" Cheryl asked.

"Grandpapi said that those were all the photos of Alejandro he had when he was with Isabella" Toni replied.

"But it doesn't make sense. It can't be coincidental that the pictures of them just them. It was like they-" Cheryl said.

"Disappeared" Toni interrupted.

"Jason when was Isabella murdered?" Cheryl asked.

"January 13th, 1760" he replied then put his earphones back in.

"The pictures both stopped at-"

"January 12th" the girls said in unison.

"Jacobe are we almost there?" Toni asked.

"Yeah, we're headed over to Greendale Wood now" he replied as he went back to humming the song on the radio.

"But TT, it doesn't add up. How could they not have found the body?" Cheryl wondered.

"There's one was to find out" Jacobe interrupted, "We're here"

They all got out of the car, parking it on the side of the road. Toni and Cheryl took out the backpack they had that contained all the evidence that they've gathered.

"Cheryl, do you have the map?" Jason asked.

"yep, you got the flashlights?" she asked back and handed him the map.

"Yeah" he replied as he handed them each a flashlight. "We don't have to worry about the battery cause it can be powered by water and can be charged by the solar panels" he explained.

They started their journey in search of anything that could mean that someone was alive somewhere.Then they saw a house built of logs, not too big and not to small. So they started making their way there. That was until Jacobe tripped on something, making them stop since it rung a bell, causing a couple alarms to sound and a light to be directed at them.

"Who's there?!" a voice shouted, then a woman shouted as she exited the house and stared at them.

"We mean no harm please" Cheryl said. "My brother just tripped" she explained as they all had their hands up after they helped Jacobe up to his feet.

"Who are you?" she yelled.

"These are my brothers, they're Jacobe and Jason. I'm Cheryl, and this is Toni" she said as calm as she could, her hands shaking.

"Any last names?"

"My brothers and I are Blossoms, Toni's a Topaz" she said.

That seemed to take the woman aback as her face softened. "Come in" she sighed.

They looked hesitantly to each other before walking up to the house and approaching the woman who the lead them inside. The inside was bigger than they expected and it was home'y. The woman then headed into the kitchen.

"Do you want anything?" she asked. They all answered no by shaking their heads. So she went back into the living room where they all sat. "What brings a couple scrawny kids like you here?" she asked as she sipped her wine.

"We were looking for Isabella Blossom" she answered. This instantly caught her attention.

"What does this have to do with her?" she asked defensively, "How did you even find us?" 

Both Toni and Cheryl then reached into their bags and pulled out everything they've collected and showed it to the woman.

"If you don't min me asking, who are you?" Jason asked.

"I'm Charlotte" 

"Holy shit!" Toni said, all of them in shock.

"that's why you look so familiar" Cheryl then said as she opened up Isabella's album. She then started showing Charlotte the album, Charlotte had a faint smile on her face. Then they heard a voice from the stairs, they all turned their heads to face the source of it.

"Honey who are these people?"

"Oh my god"Cheryl then said, their mouths hanging down in shock.
