#hesitant
 Mackenzie stood there in complete silence as she watched her older sister. She wasn't sure that this was the right thing to do, but what choice did they have? She didn't want to go to prison, she wasn't built for that and there was no way she'd cope. Kenzie wasn't sure of her sister knew that and maybe that was why she'd decided to go to such lengths, or maybe it was just what you did when you had little sisters; hell, Kenzie knew that if it had been Mercy that she'd have done the same thing. Shaking her head, she took a deep breath and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as the flickering flames danced in her eyelids. "Vi, what if.." She was cut off when her sister looked up from the flames before them; flames that were destroying every last piece of evidence that the two girls had been involved. "No one will find out, Kenz. I promise."
The younger redhead was hesitant but she listened to her sister anyway. Maybe she just wanted to believe that they could get away with murder. It wasn't really murder, though, was it?! It had been an accident, but now a woman was dead. She couldn't help but think about this woman's family. Did she have children that would grow up without a mom? A tear ran down her cheek and she turned when she felt her sister's arms wrap around her. "Come on. Let's go home." Glancing over at her sister, Mackenzie nodded and glanced back at the flickering embers as they started to burn out. No one would know that they had been there, no one would know that Mackenzie had gone and gotten completely trashed before driving home from a party that she wasn't allowed to attend. Violet had made sure that all evidence had been destroyed and they would be able to move on with their lives, unlike their victim or her family.
"Okay," Mackenzie finally whispered, flicking the tear from underneath her eyelid as she turned on her heels and wrapped one arm around her sister's waist. "But can we go and get a burger. I really don't want to go home." This was a secret that would stay with them forever. There was no way they could tell their grandparents. They wouldn't understand and would be more concerned with punishing Mackenzie and Violet for sneaking out rather than the situation itself or the fact that someone was dead because of Mackenzie's actions. Violet didn't say a word though and simply nodded as the two of them walked through the forest and along the clearing, making their way to their friend's car. Daniel hadn't asked questions when Violet had asked him to bring them to the forest and neither of the two girls had divulged the reason. He didn't care and Mackenzie was thankful for that. "Thanks, Big D," Kenzie smile as she slipped into the back of the car and glanced over at her sister as she too got in. "And thanks Vi." Leaning over, she hugged her big sister as a few more tears escaped her eyes.
