CHAPTER 3- My Aunt’s Fall
The next day I insisted on going shopping again.
My aunt frowned and then said,” off you go then.”
I returned home with depression written all over my face, because I didn’t see my sister. When I reached home, I went to my my bedroom, the attic, and searched for the necklace and locket Maisie gave me. After I made sure I checked every nook and cranny of the room, I sighed with frustration and went downstairs. On the kitchen table, Cynthia, Lizzie and Lyah were crowding over something.
“Where is my…,” I began to say, but Lyah interrupted

I frowned. What Key??
“There is no key,”I blurted out honestly.
“Liar! Open it now” my aunt yelled at the top of her lungs while she slapped me.
With my bare hands I opened locket. My aunt and her three daughters gaped at me.
“Give it to me now and retreat to your room,” my aunt demanded with a hint of fear. I thrust the necklace into her hands and stomped of to my room.
“Goodness gracious me!” my aunt murmured under her breath. “D…Dai…Daisy?” was all she managed to stutter.
I walked back downstairs and Cynthia, Lizzie and Lyah still had their mouths wide open, but not because of how I could open the locket with my hands, all their attention was on my aunt. She was on the ground. She had fainted. Lizzie’s ears turned red and she opened her mouth to yell at me, but all she let out were tears from her eyes and a slight sniffle.
Lyah whispered,” Get your bags and clothes for a few days, we’re going to the hospital.” T
