We did n't know what was down there or why we were so afraid , but we knew our fears were warranted We were brave , once ; high on the candy that we kept , hidden , stock piled under our beds . We stood , hands clasped so tight my fingers felt like they were melding into hers . Cara knocked , she was older .
Why may Cara have knocked ?
- She was the only brave one .
 - None of the above choices .
 - She was the elder .
 - She was energized from candy .


She was the elder .
