“Good night, Dixie. See you in the morning!” Justine said. Dixie chirps and hops in the backyard. Justine unlocks the door to her house and walks inside. As she closes the door, she walks inside her room and closes the door behind her. She jumps on her bed, landing on the soft pillows. She grabs her phone, scrolling through her notifications. She starts to text Carolyn.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLhWA0jB0U
That’s good. I’ll let you settle in, make sure you eat and get some rest. Call me if she hurts you again. Good Night. Carolyn responded with a smiling blushing face.

“I know you're lying to me.” She shows a picture of Justine and Dixie running down the street from Carolyn’s neighborhood. “Why were you over there?!”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2jvXOK3Ly
“What does it matter? My friends and I were being chased down by the mafia. We ended up being downtown and cut through a neighborhood on Rancho and Oakey.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2pSBX2Mwb
“And you happened to leave out of a random stranger’s house.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcpU5kupwY
“Correction, It was the mayor’s house. She wanted to talk to me?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73U06TOmSK
“About what?” Josephine asks distinctly.
Justine falls silent. Josephine gets angrier.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumyWXJOVmz
“ABOUT WHAT, JUSTINE?!”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjYHUP4km1
“It’s nothing, now let it go please!”
Josephine’s eyes turned red as her demon horns grew on her head. She grabs Justine by the shirt and starts slapping and hitting her in the head. She punches Justine in the nose, causing it to bleed. Josephine slaps her and throws her into the wall. Justine hits the wall, creating a dent in the wall. Justine breathes as her eyes turned red, her horns grew on her head. She slowly gets up and runs towards their mother, she tries to push her away but Josephine punches her in the stomach. Causing her to cough up blood. Her demon horns disappeared as she dropped onto the floor. Josephine walks away. Justine clenches her stomach, holding in her tears. She slowly gets up, walking in her room. She grabs her phone, her backpack packing her sketchbook and clothes, and runs out of the room to the backyard. As she runs out of the backyard, she hops on Dixie. Dixie wakes up.
