A call to school explaining the kids were home sick, the brewing of coffee, the pounding as the basement door was nailed shut. Jason and Piper kept Nicole close to them as they waited for their other two daughters to wake up, as they waited to talk to them about what had happened the night before. Someone had drawn that pentagram.

Piper was setting plates of breakfast on the island when they heard the girls start to move about upstairs. Jason had just finished nailing in the last board as was putting his tools away while Piper helped Nicole into her chair. The sun broke in through the windows and everything seemed peaceful enough, but they knew all of that would change when the moon came up.

Maddie was downstairs first, her hair in a bun and her makeup perfect. She sat beside Nicole at the table and picked at her food, not noticing the basement door or the sullen faces around her. With one eye on her phone and the other on her food, she rushed through breakfast in hopes she'd be out of the house soon enough.

"Maddie, no phone." Piper snatched the phone from her daughter's hand and pocketed it. "Not right now."

"Mom!" Maddie dropped her fork and held her hand out. "Give it back!"

"No. We need to talk about something important." Piper crossed her arms. "Where's Katie?"

"Getting her stuff ready to leave." Maddie kept her eyes on Piper's pocket. "What's so important? I was in the middle of a conversation."

Piper ignored her and stalked to the stairs, calling loud enough for Katie to hear her. "Katie! Come down so we can talk! Don't worry about bringing your school things!"

Katie's annoyed face appeared at the top of the staircase, her pajamas still on and her glasses crooked. "Mom, I have so much to try and fit into my bag."

"You're not going today." Piper gestured for her to come down. "We all need to talk about something...something really important. Come on. Your dad should be back inside soon. He went to put something away in the shed."

Katie walked downstairs with a look of suspicion. "Mom, what's going on? Is everything okay? Who died?"

"Nobody died." Piper led Katie to the kitchen. "Sit at the island and eat your breakfast."

Katie sat next to Maddie before whispering to her younger sister. "What's got mom so upset?"

Maddie shrugged. "She took my phone."

"All you care about is that stupid-"

"Stop bickering." Jason entered the room with his arms crossed. Anyone that knew him could tell that he was angry, that he was holding back rage inside those blue eyes. "Who did it?"

"Did what?" Maddie asked.

"One of you know what." Jason started to pace. "There's a reason we're eating in here today. Look around, think deeply. Own up to it."

"Own up to what?" Katie asked. "Dad, just tell us what you're talking about."

"What I'm talking about?" Jason gestured to the basement door. "Guess what I found down there last night?! Guess what's painted on the fucking floor! Did you three think it was funny? Did you think it was a joke?"

"Jason, language." Piper moved a hand to his arm before looking to her three girls. "One of you had to have done it. Jason and I didn't."

Nicole, close to crying at the yelling, looked up at Maddie with her lips trembling. "I-I'm scared."

"Don't be scared, baby." Piper picked her youngest up. "It's going to be okay. Daddy's just upset. Someone was really reckless downstairs."

"Hang on, time out." Katie held her hands up. "What's downstairs? Did someone break down the boards or something?"

"The boards? Nico's boards? No, that has nothing to do with this." Jason didn't even stop to think about Katie still remembering the certain ghost. "It's about what's painted on the floor, as I said."

"What's painted on the floor?" Katie looked to Maddie. "What did you do?"

Maddie laughed without humor. "Now you're blaming me? Of course, you are. I didn't do anything. You did."

"I didn't do anything!" Katie looked to her mother. "Mom, please believe me. I didn't do anything. I've been working on school."

"I've been with my boyfriend," Maddie argued. "I'm barely even in this house!"

"Stop arguing!" Jason stepped forward. "One of you drew that pentagram and we're going to sit here until you tell me who!"

"Why would anyone draw a pentagram?" Katie scowled. "You're an idiot, Maddie."

"I don't even know what a pentagram is!" Maddie glared at her sister. "Stop throwing me under the bus."

"I know it wasn't me! So it has to be you!"

"I know it wasn't me!" Maddie looked to Piper. "Mom, explain to Katie that I-"

Nicole's loud crying cut her off. As they all turned to look at the girl in her mother's arms, her face was red and she had begun to sob loudly. Her small fists clenched her mother's shirt and her hair stuck to the tears on her face, her sobs starting to echo through the house. "I'm scared! I'm scared! Mommy!"

"Nicole, shh." Piper rocked her close. "Calm down, sweetie. What are you scared about? Hm? Just tell me. What are you scared about?"

"Daddy's mad at me!" Nicole's words were muffled by her sobs. "He's mad at me for drawing on the floor! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"You...you drew on the floor?" Piper's face paled. "In the basement?"

Nicole nodded, her small eyes red and swollen from her ongoing tears. As she cried her eyes out, her parents were too shocked to do anything but watch, watch and try to come up with a reason of how they ever got into this situation.
