11.

Nylah walked out of her room with the cup of apple juice in her hand, taking it to the sink.

"That shit is too damn crazy." Malaya shook her head, looking at the TV, and Nylah looked up.

"Foreal. It's like ten girls that went missing just this month. Y ellas son de por aquí también." Lani added, the news currently playing on the TV.

Translation : And they're from around here too.

"Three of the ten bodies have been found, tortured premortem-before death-severely injured. The injuries range from broken bones to lacerations across the skin."

"We'd like to inform the public to be cautious of your surroundings and to not go anywhere alone-specifically girls. This serial killer is devolving, and it'll be a matter of time before he finds his next victim. Back to you Mike." The news reporter finished.

"Sista why all them girls lowkey look like you. Like lowkey all of them. You next bitc-girl." Lani laughed, flinching as Malaya threw a pillow at her.

"Ew. Don't resemble me to dead girls-may Allah rest their soul in eternal peace-but yeah, no." She shook her head, and Kylah chuckled, shrugging.

"I'd like the two of you to stay inside for a few days. I don't know where y'all been sneaking off to, but lockdown for at least three days." Malaya said, and Lani frowned.

"I just want to keep you guys safe until they take this maniac off the street. So just for a few days, stay in the house please mija." Malaya told them, and Nylah nodded, sitting next to Kylah on the couch.

"Okay mama. Have a good day." Lani kissed her cheek, and Malaya waved at the two of them, grabbing her lunch, then leaving to the garage.

"Welp. You tryna go over Ben nem' house today?" Kylah looked over at her, and she frowned,

"Girl mama just said to stay home." She said to her, and she shrugged.

"Nobody gone kill us if we with them. Ah-duh." Kylah slightly dropped her head in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm not going. Mama said stay home and that's what I'm doing. Plus, I have to watch Avani." Nylah told her, and she dramatically sighed.

"Avani can go. Top loves her anyways." She shrugged, and Nylah shook her head no.

"Well bitch stay home then. I'll be back before mommy comes home." Kylah said, and she nodded, waving her off.

Within twenty minutes, Kylah had snuck out, and Nylah was now back in her room with Avani in the bed with her.

"Stop it Vani." She mumbled, chuckling as she pulled at her face.

Avani mindlessly babbled to her, slobbering on her face after giving her wet kisses.

"Mhm girl. And then what?" Nylah entertained her, smiling because it seemed as if Avani was really conversating with her.

Nylah's phone rung at the same time that Avani threw up milk, and Nylah shrieked, quickly grabbing her from the bed.

"Ew Coco. I haven't even fed you yet why are you throwing up?" She frowned her face up, carrying her to the bathroom as her phone rung again.

She wiped Avani clean, changing her onesie, and then she had to change her top cover-being that Avani threw up on it.

She climbed back in her bed with her, laying Avani on her chest and softly patting her back, her own eyes becoming heavy as she yawned. She dozed off as soon as she realized that Coco was asleep as well.

Nylah was awoken from her sleep within half an hour, hearing knocking at her front door.

Figuring that it must've been an Amazon package since someone in their house ordered at least one everyday, she laid Avani down, getting out of the bed.
