Chapter 36! Sorry for the long wait. But here it is people =) Enjoy. BTW, I know this is kind of late, but Ramadan Mubarak! =DD

Maryse's POV

"Okay so we need the flowers in by tomorrow, and-"

"Maryse, calm down." Mike comforted, pulling me into a hug.

"Well with the funeral tomorrow, I'm scared. We need everything to be perfect, and I really want to keep those coffins closed. I don't want people to be scarred for life." I went on.

"Maryse, it's all okay. But I think it'd be best to keep them open, just so Trinity can have one last look at them."

"Are you serious? She'd probably cry, and be so horrified. I don't wanna see her so sad."

"Maryse, come on. It could be a good thing for her."

"It could also be a bad thing."

"Maryse-"

"I'm not going to argue about-"

"Leave the coffins open." Trinity interrupted.

"Oh, Trinity, when'd you get here?" Mike asked, sitting next to her. He nudged her arm.

"For a long time. I want the coffins left open. I need to see them and what they look like now. I won't cry, even if it kills me on the inside."

I sighed, sitting on the other side of her. "Okay Trinity, but whenever you want, we'll close them." I assured, putting my arm around her.

"Okay..." Trinity got up and walked away.

"I have one question Maryse," Mike whispered, leaning into my ear.

"What?" I asked.

"How did the fire start?"

I froze. "We have to find out."

"I know. But we'll have to do it after the funeral. Tren has already been through enough. We'll give her a bit of a break, I trip to Mexico. Then we can investigate."

"Wait, one, Tren? Nice nickname. Two, Okay, after the funeral. I'll let Kelly know." I said, pulling out my phone.

"Okay. Let's go eat." Mike said before his stomach grumbled. I rolled my eyes.

"You go. I'll be there soon." I kissed his cheek then walked out of the room, texting Kelly.

"Hey Mike, I told Kelly." I announced, laying on the couch as he and Trinity ate their lunch.

"Okay. Want some food?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "No thanks. I'm gonna go check out the cemetery we're having the funeral at."

"Okay, need a ride?"

"Mmm, Nahh. You just enjoy your lunch." I got up and headed out the door, breathing in the fresh air as i walked to the cemetery.

"Wow, this place gives me the creeps," I muttered to myself as I opened up the gate and closed them as I went in. "I mean, little girls have nightmares about places like these. What's next, an owl's going to hoot?" I personally have a fear of dark and dead place. This was both. So to calm myself down, I do what I'm doing, talk to myself.

"I mean, eww. What if one of those slimy, gross, rotten hands reaches up and grabs my leg? Ugh, not helping." I looked disgusted at the sight of deadness in here. I made my way to the open space near the end, where Tristen and Trinity's mother were going to be buried tomorrow.

"Deep breath, Maryse." I muttered, looking down into the empty holes.

"Okay, everything's good, let's go." I mumbled, jumping up and turning around to walk into something or someone.

"Where do you think your going sweet pea?" The voice asked.

"What the-"

"Get over here."

Then everything went black.

I know, I know. I suck at making things intense, but I really do try =/ And I hope you guys understand that because it's ramadan, it's been kind of hard to have the energy to type the story. Yes, that's my excuse for being lazy. So sorry this chapter was only about 750 words. Hope you can forgive and forget =P Anyway, review please!
