A/N Thanks everyone for the reviews. They have motivated me to write up this chapter. I'm sorry that the last chapter was so short but it was short of an intro to the story. Sorry this one is short too. Actually all my chapters will be short but I'll boot out at least 3 a week. So enjoy!
She ran up to the figure to find that it was Lilly, head to the side with a gushing head wound.
Veronica did the first thing that came to mind. She screamed.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" she fell to her knees on the ground. Duncan heard her and rushed out.
"Veronica, what's wrong..." he started to ask but when he saw Lilly's corpse, he blacked-out and sat beside Veronica. He held onto Lilly's body and her head. Rocking back and forth, he whispered, "Lilly? Come on, Lilly! Wake up! Lilly...Lilly..." into her head wound getting blood on his face and newly changed clothes.
When Veronica composed herself she took out her cell phone and did the first thingshe could think of to do.She called her dad, Sheriff Keith Mars.
"Dad?" Veronica asked frantically into the phone
"Veronica? What's wrong?" he asked nervously, noticing the tone in his daughter's voice.
"Help! Lilly's dead. We're at the Kane mansion..." she started to say until she was interrupted by Jake and Celeste Kane.
"Oh my god! Lilly!" Celeste yelled as they ran up. Duncan sat there, with an expression as if he was struck dumb.
"What happened!" Jake turned to Veronica
"I don't know. Duncan and I came home from the soccer game...Then I came out to find Lilly and found her dead, like this. I screamed and Duncan found me. Then I called my dad..." her voice began to falter as sirens came closer and closer.
"Duncan didn't do a thing?" Jake asked
Veronica shook her head no and then they heard a door opening.
"Neptune Sheriff Department! Anyone home?" Keith Mars called out.
"Out here !" Veronica called back.
They heard footsteps and Keith Mars, Deputy Lamb and other officers came out.
"Veronica? You OK?" he asked
Veronica couldn't help it anymore. Tears began rapidly flowing down her face. Keith hugged his daughter until he saw Lilly's body and he shield his daughters eyes from seeing that, knowing that she had seen too much already.
The Kanes stood up and stared at their daughter and son. Duncan still sat on the concrete, just staring into space. Jake reached out and took Duncan's arm to lead him upstairs to get changed out of the blood-stained clothes. Meanwhile Keith questioned his daughter about the events that lead up from her and Duncan coming to the Kane home to now. Then he moved on to Celeste, who didn't help too much. Veronica was the main witness. But there were no suspects yet. When Duncan and Jake came out, Keith questioned Jake while Duncan sat next to Veronica on the bench in the foyer. And then when things couldn't get worse... Logan came running in. He had seen the police flocked around the Kanes and wanted to know what had happened. Duncan just rocked back and forth on the bench while Veronica, in choked sobs, told him Lilly was dead. Logan collapsed and began crying, hugging his legs to his chest. Veronica sat next to him on the ground and he clung to her for dear life.
