CHAPTER TEN

For a while, Melissa and Brittany talked about how to track down the person who was hurting Melissa's family. By the time they were finished, Melissa's mom called them downstairs.

"Any news, Mom?" Melissa asked as she and Brittany trotted down the stairs.

"I'm afraid the worst has happened," Mrs. Crochet told the girls. Melissa gaped at her. "You mean-"

"They're gone!" Mrs. Crochet finished. Her eyes welled with tears. "Your father already called me. The funeral is next week."

Melissa didn't feel too sad. She had barely even known her sisters, let alone had spoken to them.

"I think I should go home." Brittany said. With a wave to Melissa, she slipped out the door.

Melissa silently went to her room and slammed the door. She was surprised to find Callie sitting on her bed.

"What are you doing here?" Melissa asked. Callie just smiled. Melissa looked closer, into her sister's face. Callie's eyes seemed to be dancing with pride.

Melissa looked Callie up and down-and stared at a dark red trail running down Callie's shirt.
