Kisaiya met her friends and outside her house and walked to school. They headed to the path to walk the shortcut but when they got there, they realised that it was sectioned off and the police were there.

"Why can't we go through?" Kisaiya asked. She was one of the more confident girls in her friend groups.

"Sorry girls, you'll have to go the long way round" The police officer explained.

"Why?" Kisaiya asked.

"We are doing an investigation" The police officer said no more, and the girls continued to school. They noticed that the police were diverting all the school children, and some were getting annoyed. It added almost 10 minutes to the journey.

They arrived at school and of course instantly the rumours started about what was going on in the woods. The rumours varied; someone been attacked, a bomb being found, a body being found, a skeleton being found. The list was endless.

Kisaiya carried on with her normal day at school and tried to forget about the possibilities of the investigation in the woods.

Meanwhile, Ange and Chloe had just returned from the clinic. Ange helped her daughter out of the car and into the house. She made sure Chloe was comfortable on the sofa before getting her a hot water bottle.

Ange gave the hot water bottle to Chloe and then returned to the kitchen to make them some lunch. They ate on the sofa. Ange noticed her daughter starting to hunch over and pulled her into their arms once they had finished eating.

They stayed like this until they heard the door open and Kisaiya walked in.

"How was school today?" Ange asked. She was so proud of the girl for lasting the whole day at school and she didn't even complain this morning. Ange was relieved as she knew that today would be a difficult day with Chloe and didn't want Kisaiya adding to it.

"It was school" Kisaiya replied and Ange laughed. Kisaiya disappeared to her room to get changed and then returned and noticed her cousin.

"Are you definitely okay?" Kisaiya asked sitting down next to Chloe and Chloe nodded but there were tears in her eyes and this worried Kisaiya. Kisaiya lay back with her cousin and they snuggled up.

"You know what happened with me and Evan?" Chloe asked and Kisaiya nodded.

"Well I was pregnant from that night" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded.

"I had a termination today" Chloe explained and Kisaiya nodded.

"Do you regret it?" Kisaiya asked and Chloe shook her head.

"I don't want children. It's just how I feel" Chloe explained.

"Do you not like me?" Kisaiya asked nervously.

"What? No, of course not. I just don't want my own children. I don't want that responsibility and it just doesn't fit right with me. Looking forward in my life, I just don't see myself with a child" Chloe explained and Kisaiya nodded. They sat in silence for a bit before Kisaiya spoke.

"Accordingly there have found a body in the forest. You know done by the path" Kisaiya explained.

"Really? Is that a rumour or facts?" Ange asked and Kisaiya shrugged.

"I'm not very sure to be honest. It's definitely something though because the path was blocked off this morning and this afternoon. We were directed to go the long way to school and even people who were out for lunch couldn't get through" Kisaiya explained.

"Well that's a shame for whoever is involved and their family" Ange said and Kisaiya nodded.

"Can we watch another episode of that serial killer series we were watching yesterday?" Kisaiya asked and Chloe nodded. That actually sounded really good.

"Does it help if I lean back on you?" Kisaiya asked and Chloe nodded. It really did as the weight of the girl on her stomach really helped. She loved snuggling up with her cousin as well so it was a win-win situation.

They were half-way through their second episode of the evening when Ange's phone went off. She noticed it was her mum and made a confused face. She showed the girls before answer the call.

"Hey mum, is everything okay?" Ange asked. She then walked off out of the living room. Kisaiya and Chloe looked between each other. They both shrugged to show they didn't know what the issue was.

"How are you feeling after your mum's surprise visit?" Chloe asked caringly. Kisaiya shrugged.

"She's not my mum anymore, Ange is. Do you mind her being my mum aswell?" Kisaiya asked nervously.

"Of course not, I'm just so happy you have forgiven her" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded.

"I'm a really forgiving person and I thought I'd not be able to forgive mum for sending me off but then I realised she did it for you and she knew you were in danger. She had to protect you and now I feel that she will protect me too if it is needed" Kisaiya explained and Chloe nodded.

"She really does love you and you were just like a sister to me" Chloe said and Kisaiya smiled.

"My mum returning just confirmed to me that I am so much better off here with you and Auntie Ange. I don't know what mess I would be in if I was still with Clemmie" Kisaiya explained.

They spoke for a bit longer before Ange walked into the room. From the look on Ange's face both the girls knew that whatever it was, was serious.

"Is Gran okay?" Chloe asked nervously. She loved her gran and hoped that nothing was wrong with her. Ange nodded.

"Girls, come here" Ange said as she guided Kisaiya to the other side of her. She wanted the girl near her. Kisaiya was getting worried now. Everything she said previously was floating in her head now, maybe she had done something wrong with Ange again now.

"Kis, that was Gran on the phone. You know the body you said that they found?" Ange asked and Kisaiya nodded. It had been all that had been spoken about at school today.

"It's your mum's" She said and Kisaiya just nodded. She didn't know how to react but turning and facing her aunt and seeing tears in the woman's eyes was enough. She burst into tears and Ange did too. Kisaiya was angry with herself for crying about it but the woman was still her biological mother and the pressure she put the girl on the previous week was immense. She now felt that it was her fault that this happened. Ange was upset, she was annoyed at Clemmie but the woman was still her sister and previously they gad a really good bond.

"Did she kill herself?" Kisaiya asked and Ange shook her head.

"They are investigating a murder" Ange explained and Kisaiya froze.
