Chapter One

Caroline and Raphael argues in the car about what Raphael wrote in the diary. "You were the idiot who asked me to write in your diary!" Yelled Raphael. "And you couldn't write anything nice?" Asked Caroline. "I didn't want to!" Yelled Raphael. Caroline was angry so she kept yelling at him until she saw a sign that said 'Welcome to Salem, Massachusetts!' Caroline was proud that they were finally in Salem. "Yay! We're in Salem!" Said Caroline. Raphael looked at the sign. "I can't believe it. My childhood home", said Raphael. Caroline hugged him. "I wonder what foster parent we have", said Caroline. Raphael sighed. "Yeah, I guess", said Raphael. The car took them to a huge house. Caroline and Raphael got out of the car and looked at the house. They were shocked. "Wow, look how big this house is!" Said Caroline. Raphael walked up to the door while Caroline was looking at a rose bush. "Caroline! Pssst! Caroline! Come with me!" Yelled Raphael. "Ugh, fine", said Caroline. Raphael ranged the doorbell and waited a few minutes. "I don't think noone's home", said Caroline. A old African-American woman answered the door. "Listen here little kids, I don't want your candy", said the woman. "We're your foster children, I believe", said Caroline. The woman was confused but remembered them. "Are you guys Caroline Patterson II and Raphael Patterson II?" She asked. Caroline nodded. The woman held the door for them. "Come in", said the woman.

They went in the house. "Have a seat", said the old woman. She offered drinks and they shook their heads. She sat on a chair and got out a yellow note pad that had their names. "So who's who?" Asked the old woman. "Well I'm Caroline and this is my brother Raphael", said Caroline. The old woman looked at Caroline. "I figured. Well call me Ms. Andersen and curfew is at 9:30 which means you have to be in bed by that time and do not and I mean do not in any circumstances go in the basement. Understand?" Said Ms. Andersen. Caroline and Raphael understood. "Where's our room, ma'am?" Asked Caroline. "Come along with me", said Ms. Anderson. She took them to a room with a big bed and a small bed. "You guys can choose what bed you want to sleep in", said Ms. Anderson. "I call the big one!" Yelled Caroline. She jumped in the big one. Raphael walked to the small bed in shame. "Aw, shoot!" Said Raphael. Caroline decided to decorate the room. "Caroline, what are you doing?" Asked Raphael. "Decorating. We do have to make our new room look nice", said Caroline. "But it's my room too", said Raphael. Caroline sighed. "Well you can decorate that side while I decorate this side", said Caroline. Caroline had a drawing of a wolf and hung it on the wall. "There, now better", said Caroline. She laid back in bed and stared at the wall until Ms. Andersen opened the door.

"Caroline and Raphael, wash up for dinner. It's about to be ready", said Ms. Andersen. "Yes ma'am", said Caroline. Caroline and Raphael washes their hands and goes to the kitchen. They see a table full of food. "Have a seat, would you guys like any water?" Asked Ms. Andersen. "Yes please", said Caroline. Ms. Andersen gave her the glass of water. "Well bon appetit", said Ms. Anderson. Raphael took a bite of the chicken drumstick and moaned. "Mm so good!" Said Raphael. "I love the mashed potatoes", said Caroline. Ms. Andersen heard them while washing the dishes and smiled. She later took a plate down to the basement. Raphael was curious. "Caroline, did you see that?" Asked Raphael. "See what?" Said Caroline. Raphael's eyes grew. "Ms. Andersen went in the basements with a plate", whispered Raphael. "So?" Asked Caroline. Raphael sighed and ate his dinner. They went back to their rooms and decided to make a plan. "While, I was in the bathroom. I saw Ms. Andersen go in the basement. I'm a little suspicious right now", said Caroline. "You're telling me. So after 9:30 when she's asleep. We go in the basement to check what's going on. Sound good?" Said Raphael. Caroline nodded.
