Renee's POV
So her family's complete remaining her, and we've got one down. Fourteen to go. Epic!
"We'll continue tomorrow, our parents are on their way I'm sure. Mom at least, we need to keep this a secret." Cam said.
Good enough. "I'm Aaron by the way, and he's Peter. We'll be on our way."
"Thank you." We all echo like triplets.
Morgan saw them leave, he waved until he saw another car coming from afar. "Your parents are on their way, they're coming close and this time it's your dad not mom!"
What! "How come?!" Anna yelled.
"I don't know, just bye. I've got to go." He ran off to his own house before dad drove halfway to the house. They already cleaned and hid the shovels, of course, no trace ever left. We just need to act normal, at least until he leaves.
"You guys, we look dirty, let's change our clothes. Fast!" Cam yelled, "Nope a proper bath!"
Anna replied, "All of us can't stay in the bathroom, I'll stay to speak to him. Both of you get in the shower."
We obey her command, at least the stench left a long time ago. Dad blew his horn, he's already here and I just started scrubbing.
I hear Cam shouting, "Coming!"
How did this happen? He's already done and dressed up. That's a blast!
I just poured water all over me, I forgot we had a shower. Dad opened the door before Cam did, I can feel it. Soon enough I hear Anna's shower all up. We switched roles, I'm with my towel. I'm all dried up, I hear dad's footsteps coming up the stairs.
They sound like he's rushing to get something, he forgot something? Unheard of. Almost impossible, I need a nice shirt. That black looks nice with my straight hair, I see some black trousers. I prefer jeans, so I open the door and bump into dad. My breath froze. He stared at me, suddenly he sniffs my hair. He held me close to him with a straight face, then he let me go. He stared deeply into my eyes.
I'm trying my best to not think for a minute until he's out. "Dad?"
He smiled at me, "I thought something bad happened to you all, that's why I came. I felt something." I exhaled happily.
"Like what? We only played hide and seek. We just had our bath, we ate the moment you left." Anna replied.
"It's alright." He smiled slightly. I didn't trust it.
Cam already stared at the situation from the first stair. "So anything on your mind dad? You look tense. Hard day at work?"
"Not really." He walked away from me. Cam sat on the couch watching television, he just acts all cool as usual.
Dad stopped walking and just stared at him, his eyes so dim and rare. "Cam?" Cam's eyes go to his father.
"Good job with the girls, I didn't expect the house to be in order." He smiled, He tapped Cam on his shoulder and walked out.
"Thank you dad." Cam watched him walk off.
He walked out to his car, he took a pause. Cam already shut the door and gave a signal to stay silent. Dad walked to the back, it's like he knows they're gone. He walks to the right, the same thing. We follow him like bridge spies.
He walks to the gate, he stared at the ground. He didn't reach the well. "You guys stay indoors and cancel any event from now till next week. This happened too suddenly, Anna ran Morgan a text now."
Anna sent a message typing, she's telling him about our father's reactions. He's already suspecting but why? I stood by the door and I lock it. I don't know why but I just had to, dad just got into his car. We can see him through the window.
"At least he's moving out." I said.
Cam stared deeply. "Why'd he come home, something's up."
"Like?"
"I don't know what but it's not good." Anna turned to see her standing directly behind us.
"Guys she's here, she's back." I don't like this. It's better if she writes to us. She's so scary, her lips aren't there. Also, her breast and her eyes are gone. Her hands were all bloody, her hair's long but her neck with a deep slash.
Her smell is terrible. "We got one family today, we'll continue soon." she disappeared.
I just sit and think, I feel like Cam can read my face. "Renee? What if dad's Daniel?"
He just knew it.
It's the next week. A new week away from the past trauma.
It's been a whole week since we saw all that. After all the terrifying nightmares and voices. The flying objects and screams got used to me. "So what're we up to today?" Anna just asked me but I don't know what to say because I'm distracted.
Who's that boy walking across the street, he's so cute. He's alone, can I talk to him? Cam distracted me with a push. "Stop staring Cinderella, we've got work to do."
Keep in mind dad already installed CCTV cameras around and inside the house. "Well at least he's not dead, after all most of the persons I saw were dead for a whole decade plus."
"Anna call Morgan and his uncles." Cam said.
"Alright I'm calling." I already hacked the cameras and broke them, he'll never know I'm sure. We already spotted six other families. Thankfully whoever Daniel is, he buried them together.
In total, we have more work than before. I need more shovels, Morgan and his uncles show up at the house. We start the digging, Aaron looks good as usual and Peter is still smart. Anna interrupts my thoughts of kissing him.
"You guys, she said some of them are within the house. The kitchen, the rooms and the walls of the parlor. The dining too."
Then that'll be for tomorrow or next. It's just 7:00am. I see Aaron always staring at me with a side eye but turning away when I try to catch him. He smiles whenever he knows I got him, I guess I'll walk up to him. "Hey." His blue eyes go to me and it's like I can't breathe.
