Sally : Tommy!!! Stop being a mess! We would miss our school bus!!
Tommy : I said you to not call me Tommy!! My name is TOM!
Sally : Stop being silly Tom. Bethany is waiting!! Get ready!!
Tom and Sally were twins. Though not very much alike, they had a common friend, Bethany. Tom and Sally met Beth during a trip to the Nigeria falls.
They saw Beth all lost alone standing with no one around her. Sally's parents were kind enough and adopted Beth.
They spend years searching for Beth's parents but there was no good news each and every time.
There was no trace of them anywhere. That was a unsolved mystery for both Sally and Tom and even to Beth herself.
But she never regretted losing her parents cause, she never felt alone around Sally and Tom.
It was 9 : 5 Am in the morning and it was time for school. Beth was holding back the bus driver for Tom and Sally. Tom had been lazy enough and had dozed of in the bathroom.
Beth : Can you please wait for 2 minutes? Please wait. They would be coming. Sally!!!! Tom!!! The bus is gonna leave!!! Come on fast!!!
Sally : Yes I'm coming!! *Panting*
Tom : Yeah yeah. Coming. *Walking slow*
Beth : Can't you walk a bit faster you dummy!
Tom : How dare you call me a dummy!?
Driver : FOR GOD'S SAKE GET IN THE BUS OR I'LL LEAVE AND YOU CAN STAY IN YOUR HOME!
Tom : Oop- Sorry.
Time goes by. They reach class on time. Their first period was History.
Sally and Beth hated history but that was the opposite for Tom.

Sally, Tom and Beth : Mr. Cartonson?!!
Mr. Cartonson was their neighbour. There was a talk that he worked at the military and died during a bomb blast but, suprisingly he gave humanity a shock.
He never had friends nor did any child favor him. He goes out only to get food for his cats which suprisingly eats more than the old man himself.
Non of the children ever heard his voice. His attire made him look like a old hag who works at a coal mine. His wife died when he was 65. He was alone from then.
The first and the most reasonable reason why they were scared of him was...there parents had gone missing the day they went to invite him to their neighborhood.
When this incident took place these kids were only 4 years old. There parents were new to the neighborhood themselves but wanted to kind and generous towards new people.
They had taken a gift and a sweet Box with them to gift him. He invited them inside and..that was the last Sally, Tom and Beth had seen them.
They all knew that the old man did something to them but they had no proof. Currently since they are old enough they live by themselves.
The old man gives a creepy odd eyed look to the kids whenever he sees them. So the kids were shocked on seeing him in the school.
The old man lifts up his eyes. He eyes Sally cunningly. He goes closer and closer to Sally. He calls out....
