CHAPTER 10

“There were two of them?” Sasha said in amazement as the girls sat in their room after dinner that night. Cooper had just finished telling them about her conversation with Mr. Greaves.

“That’s right,” replied Cooper. “Twin sisters.”

“Just like Nora and Lucy,” Annie said. “That’s really weird.”

“Why do you think Nora didn’t say anything about it?” asked Kate.

“Maybe she didn’t know,” said Cooper.

“I find it hard to believe that Mary wouldn’t at least mention her sister in her diary,” Annie remarked.

“Annie’s right,” Sasha said. “She had to have known. Besides, if the O’Sheas really were related to the Reillys, don’t you think she would have heard something about the story? I mean, it’s kind of a big deal.”

Cooper sighed. “I know it all seems strange,” she said. “But I think we should give Nora a chance to explain before we get all excited.”

“You haven’t spoken to her yet?” asked Kate.

“No,” Cooper said. “I didn’t really know what to say. I asked her to meet us here in a few minutes. We’ll do it then. But I don’t want it to seem like we’re ambushing her or anything.”

“I wonder what Mr. Greaves meant when he said that the O’Shea girls made strange stuff happen,” Annie mused.

“Maybe Nora knows something about that, too,” said Kate.

There was a knock on the door, and they all looked at Cooper. “Here’s our chance to find out,” she said as she got up and opened it.

“Hey,” Nora said, coming in and plopping down on one of the beds. “Are you guys ready to try and contact Mary again? I have a feeling that tonight we’ll find out more.”

“About that …” said Cooper. “We have some questions.”

“Shoot,” Nora said cheerfully. “I’ll tell you what I know.”

“Well, for starters, did you know that she had a twin sister?” Cooper asked.

“And that they both died in a fall from the tower room?” Kate added.

“How did you find out that stuff?” asked Nora, looking slightly concerned.

“I did some digging around,” said Cooper vaguely. “I wanted to see if I could find out what happened to Mary, and that’s what I found out. So, did you know about it?”

Nora rubbed her hands on her thighs. “Yeah,” she said. “I guess I did.”

“Why didn’t you tell us, then?” asked Annie. “Why did you pretend you didn’t know anything?”

Nora sighed. “Look,” she said, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. There’s more to this story than I told you. But I didn’t mean to hide anything. I guess I was just waiting for the right time to tell you all of it.”

“Right time?” Kate echoed. “What does that mean?”

Nora looked down at her feet, as if she was thinking. Then she looked up. “I’m scared,” she said. “I’m really scared.”

Cooper shook her head. “I am really confused here,” she said. “You told us that you wanted help contacting this ghost so that we could figure out who killed her. Now you’re telling us that you’re scared. What are you scared of?”

“Lucy,” Nora said softly. “I’m scared of Lucy.
