"NO! NO! MOMMY! NO!" Eloise screamed. She leaned down and buried her face in her mother's shoulder. "I'M SORRY! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO YOU!"

She leaned up a bit, only to give her mother a little peck on the cheek. "There's your kiss. Now I'm going to tell Aunt Sharon and Aunt April sorry for being a jerk. OK? I promise, Mommy!" she laughed insanely. She backed up and ran downstairs, to the kitchen.

She wasn't surprised when she found both of her aunts on the tile floor, spilling blood. She rushed to their sides, kneeling down. "Oh, Auntie April. I'm so sorry. You aren't a baby. You were only trying to be a good, fun aunt. I'm so sorry." she sobbed.

She looked over at her other aunt. Her shaggy, jet black hair was brushed over her forehead, covering her light brown eyes. Her pale complexion was even lighter than usual. "Auntie Sharon…I'm sorry I snapped at you. I had no right to be rude. I'm sorry. TO BOTH OF YOU!" she suddenly screamed.

She heard two little whines from upstairs. "The twins!" she exclaimed. She gave her poor aunts one final look before darting upstairs to fetch her siblings.

She abruptly burst into the twins' bedroom. Dipper was letting out a high pitched whining sound, while Mabel was already in heavy tears. Eloise scooped up her brother and sister. "It's OK. We're gonna be OK. If we follow Mommy's directions, we'll be completely fine." She gave the twins a smile and carried them back downstairs.

Her heart throbbed as she walked past her beloved aunts, to the table where the sugar bowl was placed. She crawled to the middle of the long table, until she finally reached the sugar bowl. She stuck her hand in, fishing around for a note. She pushed her hand all the way to the bottom, where she finally felt something_ paper!

She quickly pulled out the paper and shook the extra pieces of sugar off of it. She messily unfolded the note, until she could finally see her mother's perfect handwriting.

My dearest children-

I understand that you are shocked by mine and my beloved sisters' deaths. But there is no need to be. For if you guard those 3 rings with your life, we shall return someday. As bizarre as it sounds, those rings were given to us by a wonderful, wonderful man. He gave them to us so that when the day of our death arrived, we would be able to return. And we shall.

On the back of this letter is the directions. They begin after the address, which is at the very top. If you follow each and every one of those steps, you will be allowed to live a happy, normal life. And then we may return.

Eloise- I love you so. You are the eldest, so I leave you the rings.

Dipper- My sweet baby boy. I love you. I leave you one of my favorite books. I have a strong feeling that you'll enjoy it.

Mabel- My sweet, precious baby girl, whom I love. I leave you my shooting star sweater that you love so much. Wear it and remember me by it, my love.

My eldest daughter, follow these directions, and you shall be eternally happy. I love you all.

Love, Mommy

Eloise flipped the paper over to see her mother's first direction. At the top of the page was the address she had mentioned. It read:
