22 To Hell and Back

We went to the oldest library to do some research. We read almost what felt like millions of books. About 3 hours later, we found a book about a lady who haunted a road near our town. We looked at the location. It was the diners address. She was known as,"The Lady in Black." Apparently, her name was Jessica, she used to live in the diner about 1973 when it was a house. She had 2 kids, a boy and a girl, both 6 month old. According to the book, she was giving her kids a bath when an intruder came in and shot up the bathroom leaving no survivors. The websites we found said her neighbor killed her kids in the bathtub and then the mom killed the neighbor then herself. We were still clueless on why she kept choosing us over any other person. Some reviews said, she lurks in the darkness when all is silent. Searching for what is lost. What's lost will never be discovered. For she has hid the bodies so no soul will find them. We looked at each other in confusion. We read more books than websites so we believed the books more. The books didn't make much sense. The website poem that we had read, it made more sense than anything else. We eventually decided that we would use the poem to "find the lost." We also searched her family tree. Im so glad we didn't do anything special together. On the family tree, we both seen our deceased parents. He looked at me and asked,"Who's the realatives for you?" I simply answered, " My deceased parents, what about you?" He said the same. We looked at each other and said our parents names. I was so shocked. We said the same names. At that moment I knew I couldn't let him leave. He was my brother so I can't let him leave. I just can't. Just then the librarian comes up behind us and says," Enough with the love fest over here. The library is closing." We checked out the books that we had and left. After all we needed the books for further details about this lady.
