The flames were eating up the carpet and climbing up the walls. It had started in the corner behind us, now it was spreading. We quickly ran out of the room and to the back door, it was locked. She must have gotten new automatic locks. Adam, without wasting any time, rammed the door down. We ran outside before the room was engulfed with flames and smoke. Adam was coughing really hard. "what the crap was that??" I yelled. I was suddenly mad, what started that fire? Was anyone hurt? "c'mon!" Adam said and grabbed my hand and started running. I looked back, flames were bursting out all the windows, the whole second story was engulfed with flames. We had sprinted half ways to my house when we finally stopped, We were both panting from the run and the smoke inhalation. "why'd you run?" I almost yelled. I was kinda miffed and confused with him. "we broke in and a fire started! We'd be first blamed." he said. I nodded and grabbed his hand. We started walking again. "nobody was even in there" I said trying to help the situation. Adam's face went white. "remember when I was looking through the window?" I remembered, he said he saw somebody run out of the room but he couldn't see who it was. I didn't know what to say. Was it Grace? It couldn't have been Mrs. Gray, her car wasn't in the driveway. Then I remembered the message. "April says hi" I whispered. I shuddered. "do you think she's alive?" Adam asked. "probably not" I said sadly. "the music box with papers in it was April's birthday present from Ian" I said. "we should tell him" Adam suggested. I nodded. We walked to Ian's house. I felt bad for him, he lived in kinda a run down house and his parents are never home because of their jobs. I never even met them the whole 2 years I've known him. We walked up the steps to his house and Adam knocked. I sat on the ground looking at a ladybug. I heard a car pulling in the drive way, it was Ian in his big Chevy truck.
