As we headed back into the house, Rayna was gone. But she had left behind a quickly written letter for us to read...

I flipped the paper over, and on the back there was a list of addresses

Page One:

Dear Hannah and Aiden,

I got a call about some family buisness and I had to go, but I wish you both the best in looking after Kirsten.

If you want my help, I'll be here, however, I must admit I am not the most skilled when it comes to this type of magic, so I've left you with the contact details of some witches who may have more information on ressurections than me.

The only catch, is that the must ONLY be contacted in person, as I'm sure you can understand, the nature of their work attracts attention from law enforcements, and they require the upmost anonymity and privacy.

Best of luck in the future,

Rayna Kaminski.

I called a response over my shoulder, just hoping to be done with this conversation, I ushered Kirsten out of the diner.

Later that night...

[simspaghetti]

I was beginning to get annoyed with Lorraine, and I decided it was best to leave the situation as quickly as we could.

I stood up from my seat

She forced a fake smile to me, and then back at Kirsten, as she followed my lead and we began to walk away.

[simspaghetti]

Kirsten made a panicked glance at me for help, and then quietly mumbled out an answer

[simspaghetti]

I stumbled over an explanation for who Kirsten was, and I hoped that Lorraine's probing for more information was just her noiseness, and not an indication that she knew I was lying

[simspaghetti]

Suddenly, a voice from behind me broke the silence of our conversation

Lorraine Cantina. She was a shrill woman who works for local government, and always has her nose in everyone's buisness...

I shot Kirsten a quick glance to make sure she was okay, but she was simply smiling up at the woman politely.

It was sometimes impossible to work out what that girl was thinking...

[simspaghetti]

My heart wrung with pain hearing her say those words - I didn't even know how to begin to explain to her that her family was gone...

She furrowed her brow and her eyes began to well up with the beginnings of tears
