-(A/N) hello! Once again I attempt to write.

As they began walking home Nora had a strange feeling. Like a prickling at the back of her neck. You know that feeling that someone's watching you. All of sudden Alex took off with a scream of "Catch the squirrel!" before running into an alley that for some reason opened onto a field. Of course since darling Alex ran off Stephanie felt obliged to go too, and so Nora had no choice but too accompany them.

Finally she caught them. "Please don't do that again," she said. Panting as she tried to restrain Stephanie.

With that Nora swung the Gram cracker bag over her shoulder and set off on her randomly selected course with Alex and Stephanie trotting to keep up with her long strides. She was rather tall for her age always had been.

After several minutes of walking Alex came up behind Nora and said, concern evident in his voice, "You don't know where we're going, do you?"

Nora sighed, she had been expecting this, Alex was very perceptive for a seven year old. "No," she said, "I don't. I only said that
