The noise came again.
Soft.
Careful.
My heart hammered in my chest.
I slowly got out of bed and walked toward the window.
A shadow moved near the gate.
Fear crawled up my spine.
Then my phone vibrated.
Amara.
"Don't panic."
Too late.
"Look at the driveway camera."
My hands trembled as I opened the app.
The screen loaded.
And my blood froze.
Nora.
Standing outside my house.
Talking on the phone.
Angry.
"She's taking too long," Nora said.
A pause.
Then:
"No, we do it tomorrow."
Tomorrow?
Do what tomorrow?
My heart pounded louder.
Then she said something that made my stomach drop.
"I'm not losing everything because of her."
Her.
Me.
Suddenly I realized something terrifying.
Whatever they were planning…
It was happening very soon.
If your own sister was outside your house at midnight… what would you do?
