10: What is She Hiding?

Charlotte peeled her eyes away from her notes to let her eyes rest. Her head was pounding. "I need to eat something but there's no food," she said as her stomach grumbled. "I'll have to order some food then." Thankfully, her phone was right there in front of her. She called a Wendy's and had them deliver the food to her doorstep. Just as her phone touched the table again, the door to the study burst open and Ariana came tumbling in.

She squeezed her face when she saw who disturbed her peace of mind. 'What could she want?' she wondered.

"Hey mom. I want to ask you real quick," she said rapidly, as if there was hot water in her mouth.

"Alright? What is it?"

"What are the Otsukii and what do they do?" she asked.

Her mother's head snapped. "What did you just ask me?" Charlotte asked, wanting to make sure that this wasn't a dream.

"Good, that shows that you know who they are. I need to know about them," Ariana said and took a seat opposite her mother.
