All About Lauren

 Author's Note: This is a piece about Lauren. The purpose is to explain what she's like and how she feels about things.

     The main character of the story Dark Secrets by Elizabeth Chandler is Lauren. Lauren in the beginning of the book was 10, visiting her Aunt Jule. This is when her mother had died. Lauren, heartbroken, left and didn't revisit for 7 years. Upon her return, she had realized how little yet how much things have changed, like winter is different to spring, yet they are both seasons.. Everything was basically the same except for Nora. She was still paranoid about her mother's death. She started to act stranger than a beetle in a farm of ants, and it was worrying Lauren. She would tell her that her mother was watching her like a hawk, or that her mother was sleeping in the boathouse, or that her mother planned to drown her so that they would be reunited and never separated again.

     Lauren was starting to worry about what was happening, because Aunt Jule didn't want to give Nora the professional help that everyone but her thought she needed, even though Lauren had offered to pay for it. Before her mother had died, she had told her about how her necklaces and scarves would be tied into knots with nothing touching them, like Paranormal Activity. Once Lauren had started noticing knots her things, she was concerned about her health and was wondering if maybe, just maybe, Nora was telling the truth. But part of her was still convinced that Nora was just out to get her.
