If I'm going to have to be honest here, I'm really bad at coming up with names; hence the 'Fred' and 'Jude' and many more. I'm NOT saying that these are bad names, all I'm saying is that I search these up on the internet. It came up with the mostly known names around the world and at that time I couldn't care less.

So, if you own a unique name yourself or know one, please do let me know so I can add them in the future for my other books.

Once they were able to stop the tears and assure that there was no problem, everyone moved to the living room to sit and relax.

The place was small but enough to fit them in. A single seated couch faced the window while the doubles face the small tv above the tiny fireplace. The walls were covered with family photos and two of the corners were concealed with tall vases, occupied with fresh flowers. The only off-white colored carpet kept the whole floor comfortable and gave a safe feeling.

Jake sat himself down on the two seat couch next to Susan while Sarah took the stool on the side. Ryne soon walked in and leaned on the single couch that was occupied by Charlotte, "you left me hanging back there Jake..."

Jake's eyes widened, he didn't expect himself to be so irresponsible.

Ryne laughed it off forcing the depressed feeling out of her chest, "it's fine though. I finished the planning anyways, all we need to do now is get it set by tomorrow morning. Your idea of keeping the bodies in coffins until everyone returns was a great, so we don't need to worry about that-"

"Did you guys find Tommy?" Charlotte's voice was too quiet, but it still made Ryne, who was standing near, jump.

"You know we'd never stop until we do, right?" She assured the girl. All the negative feelings she radiated to the girl vanished as she watched Charlotte slip a tear. Jake cursed from his seat, muttering how they'd just gotten her to stop crying. "We'll find him, Charlotte. I'm sure that we're just missing the spot."

"You've searched the whole town, I know..." Charlotte tried not to glare at her. "I'm not stupid, the searchers are tired and it's been almost two whole days. Everyone's corpse are found except for mine."

"You mean, Tommy's?" Susan softly reminded, as if talking might hurt the poor girl.

"He's mine, soul and body. So, my corpse. All the same." The mood had suddenly changed and no one knew what to do. Sarah knew the feeling of loosing a mate but she'd gotten a second chance with Grace and her father. She wasn't sure if something like that was going to happen to Charlotte.

Susan broke the silence, but not in the best way. "I know I shouldn't ask this, but..." she breathed, getting ready to be yelled at. "Are you sure that... that Tommy's not alive?"

"Susan..." Sarah sighed, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. She didn't know what to do with the people around her. Everyone was a mess and she was too, but she was also the eldest.
