Chapter 12
Elaine stared wide-eyed at her aunt, breathing hard. "They're going to kill me?" she said in a scared voice. "No, they not. I'm not going to let them even touch you." Aunt Judy said, trying to console her. "But that still doesn't explain about my mother." Elaine said as she wiped the hot tears on her cheeks. "Yes it does, honey. She could be alive. I don't know if she really did get shot. They could have faked it and made it seen like that." Aunt Judy replied. Suddenly, they heard a bell. It was the clock. Elaine glanced at the time. It was midnight. "Honey, you better go to bed." said Aunt Judy, standing up. Elaine was about to leave the room when her aunt grabbed her arm. "Sweetie, don't think about it. Nothing is going to happen, okay? I'm here for you." she said smiling sweetly. Elaine tried to force a smile, and nodded. She left the room, and started off to her room. She opened her door, slipped into her pajamas, and got into her bed. She laid down and closed her eyes. She opened them again, for something was bothering her. There's something wrong, she thought, something doesn't fit into the picture. She thought about the whole day. What was it?, she thought, I don't know, maybe it's nothing, I'm just overreacting. She closed her eyes. And then it came to her. She sat up, her eyes wide. There was something missing, something that didn't fit into the story, the locket.
