A/n: Here's Chap. 4
Lena's pov
Avery… was that really her? Or was my mind playing tricks on me? I thought as I drove back to the Bayou. That girl looked a lot like I thought Ave would look like as a teen but I saw Ave's body or at least I thought that it was her body. Could that have been her spirit? Or is she alive? If she's alive I want her to be with me but what if Simone tries to kill her again. If she succeeded I'd never be able to live with myself knowing that my daughter was dead because I wanted her near me. But what if that wasn't Avery or it was her spirit? Was she trying to give me closure about her dying or what? Was she trying to comfort me or is she trying to push me away? Those were just a few questions that went through my mind as I drove home. I wished that I knew for sure if she's alive or not because if she isn't I want to be able to mourn her. But if she's alive I want her to know where she's from, who I am and what happened to our family and my friends. I thought and I realized that I was almost home, great. I remember when Ave was a toddler god she was an active thing.
Flashback, still Lena's pov
"Avery you get down her right now!" I called to my four year old daughter who was up in a tree.
"Why mama I'm not gonna fall?" Avery asked
"Because you're scaring me." I said as Simone passed down under the tree and right at that moment Avery lost her balance and fell down landing on top of Simone. "Ms. Lenoir!" I exclaimed running over to where Ave was sitting on top of Simone. "Are you alright?" I asked as I picked up Avery who was small for her age.
"Yes I'm alright" Simone said as she stood up.
"Ave you need to be more careful if Simone hadn't been walking under you when you fell you could have been hurt." I said
"Okay mama" Avery said as I put her down and she ran off probably to go look for Matt.
End flashback, still Lena's pov
Simone didn't let me live that down for awhile I thought as I pulled up to the side of the house. When I got out of my truck I grabbed what I had bought and walked into the house where Simone was waiting for me. I walked right passed her nodding as a greeting. When I got into the kitchen I felt like crying, Simone had, or had tried to kill Avery and I don't know if she did or not. "Simone let's go into town tomorrow." I said and Simone walked in and looked at me oddly
"Why?" She asked
"Because you haven't been out of this Bayou in years come on let's go. Please" I said and Simone caved
"Alright Lena" She said and I grinned as I put away the food into the pantry.
"I think you'll like the outdoor market Simone." I said
