But think about it, what is if she knows all already and she is only pretending to not know. And we believe that and meanwhile she is preparing a trap with our older sister so that we will be captured or killed.

Shadowrunning is when someone starts groundlessly assuming terrifying things on just a slight prompt.
As an example take the last post from @Dragou, or the following:
"Rico's friends were with you all day and Eva is no longer injured. Surely one of them noticed that she does not act as if she was hurt and runs to tell the police by the time of this vote."

On the other hand, if we do it every day on our own, then she wouldn't think too much of it.
Responsibility is heartening to see, but for twins this close it seems they take care of each other better than themselves to begin with
Don't worry so much people , we are totally clear , we should just watch out for Monster Attacks.
Well I guess our sister will be quite curious to see the injury , but we can still totally play it as being healed , or use a knife for a shallow cut aka its healing
Our sister would be fine. She got the report third hand.
Our mom would be fine in a few days. People forget how bad injuries are, and since it's a walk home injury....
Welp, I guess there is nothing else coming in. The book won.
The next chapter will be longer than the previous ones, so it may take a few days to write up.

Do you want to have another vote anyway, or should I just go on until a relevant vote is to be made?

After a great dinner, Eva gets the book your mother gave her a while ago and went back to your room; mother likes to watch TV in the evening, so she could not read there. You follow her and Ludger follows you, but she does not mind; Eva likes reading a lot for some reason, even when it is boring.
So... what do you do? Poking her now would be mean and not fair after you already pulled your sister along the whole day.
She turns on the small light she has on her bed for reading, then lies down on her belly with her head on the pillow and the book right in front of her, looking at the cover for a moment before opening it.
Hm...
What do you do now?
Ah!
You quickly sit down and have Ludger sit with you, then hug him and try to see through Eva's eyes; the first thing you see is yourself, though... but she quickly looks back at her book and goes back to the first line.
Heh, you can read like this! This is nice.
It is actually a nice story, too; something about a boy that wants to be a hero... you did not really have the time to read it properly, Eva is a faster reader than you.
And you kind of were more excited to play around with your connection...
Anyway, she puts down the book after a few chapters and puts in her pink bookmark, then sets it down and you two wash up before going to sleep.

There is ice and snow everywhere... some water, too. It is bright with the sunlight reflecting everywhere.
Your big sister is there, her sundress fluttering in the breeze; she sits on a small hill of ice like a throne, unmoving and looking forwards.
You glide closer to touch her, but she does not react... she is crying. The tears are frozen to her face.
Your eyes open just a few moments before the alarm starts beeping. Eva lets it ring while she gets up... so you have to climb down and do it yourself despite of how your eyes burn a little and you have stuff in them.. She always does that so you get up, the meany...
After turning it off, you think back and wonder what kind of weird dream that was. Then you shake your head and look at what Eva is doing; she usually gets up earlier than you, but you doubt you could sleep any longer after that. Ugh... morning... but you have to get up anyway. You have school today.
""Good morning.""
You greet each other as usual and get dressed, then Eva starts filling her bag with gym clothes and you quickly do the same after making sure the backpack is ready. You only have one because of the... uh... the thing where people only get as little stuff as necessary. You two got to the same school and are in the same class, so you have only one backpack and one set of books.
You do not mind that, though. Sharing with Eva is fine.
Hm...
"It's your turn to carry the backpack... but I guess I'll take it today."
You usually switch doing this each week... but with how your sister is'hurt', that would be weird. Eva looks up from the shorts she is folding and nods at you. "Thank you. I'm almost done... can you do my bandages?"
Of course, you should do that before your mother wants to do it... so you quickly get out of the room and run over to the bathroom, take the bandages and that weird scissor you use to cut them, then run back and close the door behind you.
Eva is looking a little confused, but starts to understand once she sees what you brought with you. She finishes packing her bag and zips it closed, then gets up and lifts her sweater over her head; maybe you should have done that before getting dressed... huh...
Whatever, you quickly take off the last set of bandages and just throw it to the ground, then fix a new one in place and make sure it is smooth this time. You ponder making a bow with the two ends for a moment, but mother would probably not find it as cute as you do.
With the bandages in place, you help Eva pull down her sweater again, then take up the old pile and both of you head out to the kitchen, where you can already smell toast waiting for you. Your mother is there too, packing lunch for the three of you and filling some bottles with water.
"Good morning, Mommy!" "Good Morning!"
Ludger looks up from his bowl, but seems to decide he likes his breakfast more right now. Your mother turns her head for a moment and smiles at you, then repeats the greeting and gets back to making food for you. Eva takes her seat while you take the small pile of old bandages over to your parent. "Where do I put these?"
She gives you a quick glance, then points at the trashcan. "Just throw them away."
"Okay."
With that done, you sit down and have breakfast. It is rather quiet and you like that... it helps waking up some more and now you actually notice that the sun just got up.
"I want you to come home right after school today; we have to clean up a bit for Bianca."
Oh... oh, right. Big sister is coming tomorrow!
That thought blasts the tiredness away and you poke Eva happily. She pokes back and you beam at each other. ""Okay!""

You pet Ludger goodbye and then leave the house. He has some water and his basket to sleep in, so he will be fine. Your mother already went ahead before you left, but you are on time... she just has teacher-stuff to prepare.
The walk to school is... chilly. It is not really bright just yet and the air is cold; at least you have a jacket to cover you.
Your friends are always later than you, though; they have longer ways to walk and your family makes sure you are up and going in time.
But the cold air at least wakes you up.
You enter the classroom a little after half past seven, so you still have... ugh, Anastasia.
There she sits in the last row, her arms folded and looking out of the window... then she sees your reflection and turns around to glare. You glare right back.
She is a bully and picks on Eva.
You do not like her at all... no one does, really. That does not make her stop, though... and the teachers like her because she does her homework and is smart. She even looks nice with her nice face and long hair, but she is just sooo mean.
Eva ducks away and just pulls you along to the second row, where your seats are, but you can tell Anastasia is still looking at you.
With how close you live to the school, you are usually here before most of the others; only one or two are otherwise around.
Then there is a sigh behind you. "Oh dear... good morning, you three."
That voice is... you turn around together with your sister and find an older girl walking up, her blonde hair neatly done in a cute ponytail; she takes her seat in the third row and smiles at the two of you.
Even Anastasia responds after a moment... but Eva seems the most happy to see her friend; Elisa is pretty and nice, a little more than a year older than you and everyone likes her.
Everyone, even Anastasia. You are surprised that girl likes anyone at all.
Elisa continues being bright, but takes out her books and starts looking through her notes. Everyone else comes in after her... and you start talking to Henrietta.
It is mostly girls here, seeing that the boys are helping out in the fields. With how few children there are, you only have three classes, too; first to fourth year are together, then fifth to eight year and ninth to twelfth year. You are in the first group, soon moving up to fourth grade. That will be nice, especially summer break...
But the teacher comes in, so you stop thinking about that while Class starts.

School is great today!
With Eva and you working together, you can solve everything the teachers give you! Mostly math and stuff, but still... everyone looks at you when you give the right answers and even the teacher praises you!
Your connection is so neat! You can concentrate lots better, too!
Even when everyone says they are terrible... being Magical Girls is not as bad as you thought it would be... if you just did not have to lie to your friends and your mother about it... but thinking about that will not help.
You play tag with your friends during the breaks... and notice her watching you as you play, but she quickly gets back to her book once she knows you know. Whatever Anastasia was looking for, you made sure Eva was with you... no bullying your sister.
Gym class is nice, too. You are pretty good at it.
When classes were over Elisa stayed behind for some reason... you were too busy complaining about the homework to ask, though.
Nothing really happened on the walk home and now you are here... you would much rather play, but big sister is coming! Playing can wait!
Ludger already comes running when you unlock the door and yips happily, so you pet his head. Eva puts down her bag and looks at him for a moment, then looks at you. "I think I should walk him now. Can you take my bag?"
You just take it and smile at your sister... it is a little heavy now, with two bags and the backpack, but you just walk over to the bathroom while you can hear some rustling behind you and the door closing.
While you are busy pulling the sweaty gym clothes out of your bags, you try to look through Eva's eyes for a bit and see some of your neighbours smiling and greeting her. Ludger plays around with some of the other doggies in the neighbourhood, too. That is really cute...
Eva thinks the same, but you stop looking after a while and get back to throwing your clothes into the basket one by one, then turn the bags inside-out to air them; just like your mother showed you to do it.
She has yet to come home, but that is normal; teachers stay longer to do teacher-stuff.
So you put the bags away and then go to get your books out of the backpack -ugh, homework-... and then there is not much else to do. Except that Eva is back and already goes to get the cleaning stuff you need for later.
But you are hungry, too... you do not want to work.
So you decide to be unfair and go grab your sister by the hand, then bring her to the couch and hug her tight. A little waving with one hand brings Ludger to hop up and lie down at her other side, so now you have her trapped while she looks at you.
But Eva understands what you want and lets you. So now she is your teddy bear.
You cuddle up and feel her arms squeeze you back, and both of you just sit like that. It is nice and warm...

You are now Eva and have no idea how long you have been sitting on the couch, but Rico lets go once you hear the door opening. Mother is home...
But you are really comfy right now and... maybe a few more minutes? So you just hold on and do not let her go, the warm Ludger at your other side just staying where he is.
"Eva?"
"Mhn..."
You mumble into her side and just hold on... and she lets you, too. Hugging Rico is nice...
You hear some shuffling in the hallway and... is that laughing? Maybe... eh, it does not matter. You just stay where you are.
After some more minutes, Rico shifts and you pout at her... but let go. It is probably time to get up... and you can smell something nice from the kitchen.
Food has you both go exploring for what your lunch will be.
The rest of the day passes by like that, you clean up and do your homework and walk the dog again and then it is time for bed already... it was still really dirty in a lot of places, so you made dinner after you were done cleaning. But it was fun, too... everyone worked hard and mother gave you ice cream when you were done.
So now you lie down and close your eyes... but you can feel Rico looking forward to tomorrow. Even with this... this block in place, you can still feel how happy she is.
And you are, too. It has been months since big sister was here. She is the best big sister in the world.
And she is coming here!

Myriads of colours pass by, changing and forming shapes you can not see before they are gone.
Empty echos...
You float nowhere and everywhere...
When you wake up, there is nothing left of tonight's dream. You just remember that it was really weird.
But that does not matter, because big sister is on her way. She will be here when you get out of school and you can play and watch TV together and she can read books to you and... and... oh, so much to do!
You let the alarm ring for Rico and jump out of bed... but she is already coming down from her bed, beaming and turning off the noise before getting her own clothes and dressing herself. Lots of happiness come over your connection and you push as much of yours to your sister.
You are both so happy today... nothing can make it bad. Nothing.

School goes by slowly, but you do not really care. You just take care of the questions you get and play around during the breaks. Rico told her friends that you can not play after school for a few days because big sister is there, too... Anstasia trips you on the way back to class, but you do not mind it much today.
And lesson after lesson... you do not get any homework. This really is the best day ever... or at least the best day this year.
So when the last lesson is over, the two of you are the first to leave; Rico grabs the backpack, you stuff everything inside and then you wave your friends goodbye before running off.
When you reach your home, she is already there; you can tell because there is a car parked nearby. And because she is sitting at the table on the patio, reading some things... but she looks up before you can call out to her, a gust of air making her short hair curl.
She looks just like you remember her, pretty and calm... her hair is about as long as yours and she is still bigger than you, but you are getting there!
"Big sis!"
Rico is already running again and you follow her; your sister gets up from the chair and has you both come up to her, then hugs you tightly.
"Eva, Rico. It's good to see you."
What to do? Pick One:
[X] Play with Big Sister
[] Do something else
-[]Write-in what You hug her back and then let go and smile up at her, but Rico is faster than you. "Play with us, big sis!"
She looks at you for a moment, the cold look going away quickly and becoming a smile; big sister looks at the papers she was reading before, then ruffles your hair and nods towards the house. "I don't mind. Go bring your things inside, I'm right behind you."
""'Kay!""
You run to the door and open up; Ludger is already waiting there, wagging his tail and yipping happily.
Rico goes ahead to throw the backpack somewhere while you pet the dog, then look behind to make sure big sister is really right behind you; she likes doing work, so you have to check. You see her putting away those papers into a bag she had leaned to the table, then close it and sling it over her shoulder.
When she finds you looking, she smiles at you and walks over to crouch next to you; then she joins in petting the dog. "Hey there, Ludger. You're living the life?"
He yips again and licks her hand, as if to tell her something. Your big sister laughs and ruffles his fur again, then lets him be and wipes her hand with a handkerchief. She closes the door with her foot and you can hear Rico coming back.
You let go of Ludger and look around... huh... you probably should walk him, but... but... ugh... you want big sister, so... can he wait?
Rico probably feels it and looks where you are looking, then sighs and takes the collar; Ludger is with her so fast that you can not even see him move. "I go with him, but promise you don't start having fun without me."
Oh... that is really nice of her. You smile at your sister and big sister does the same, then presses a fist to her chest. "I solemnly swear to you that we will not eat the sweets I brought you before you're back."
That has both of you stop and look at your sibling in awe; she brought you sweets? That is great, you have so few chances to eat them!
Big sister laughs again and walks past Rico, then gives her a nudge. "You should go now."
Your sister nods and puts the collar on the dog, then runs over to the door... and looks back. "No fun before I'm back. I will know if you start without me."
You giggle and wave until she turns around and leaves fast; Ludger runs after her without a care and you feel an arm snake around your shoulder. Looking up, you find your big sister giving you another smile and a slight squeeze. "You're taller each time I get to see you."
You smile back and take her hand, then pull her over to the living room to sit with you and climb onto her lap. This is your only chance to have big sister for yourself, so you will use it!
She only chuckles and wraps her arms around you, making you feel warm and comfy. This is nice...

When Rico comes back, she finds you cuddling on the couch and quickly jumps up to you. "Hey, me too!"
Aw... now you have to share again. You slide off of big sister's lap and to her side while your sister takes the other, then you both snuggle up to her. She is going exactly nowhere for now.
Not that she made any move to go, but you never know...
"So this is how it's going to be?"
You just press yourself closer to her side and say nothing; Rico probably does the same.
You are not sure how much time passes... but the first thing that happens is your mother coming home. You can see her from turning your head, standing in the doorway and smiling.
"I would greet you properly, mother... but... as you can see, I was taken prisoner."
You giggle with your parent and Rico does something on the other side... then she shouts cheerfully: "Yup, Big sis is our prisoner now and we won't let her go."
Your mother chuckles some more, then hides her mouth behind her hand. "Oh no, what should I do? Please, have mercy on an old woman... how much do you want for my child's release? Can I bribe you with lunch?"
Hm... lunch is tempting and you are pretty hungry. You lean a little bit forwards to look at Rico, who looks back. She is not sure, either.
But in the end, your tummy decides that food is important and you nod at your sister, who then nods at your mother. "Fine, but we wanna see the goods first."
Now both adults break into laughter and you join them. Even you can tell that this is from some movie you watched together, even if you are not sure which one.
You sit like this until your mother is done making lunch, then let go and eat together; Rico is talking enough for the four of you, chatting about... everything, really. You just let her and eat quietly, observing the adults at the table; both of them are smiling
Then you spend the rest of the day playing with your big sister. There are not that many games around to play, but you make do and have fun; and you show her your garden and the pretty pictures you have been drawing... you think she likes it. Big sister smiles.
In the evening, the three of you go out to walk Ludger; Rico has the leash and the corgi runs around excitedly.
Your big sister is walking between the two of you, looking around as you go; she only sees the city once a year and they are still busy building lots of things, so it is different each time.
Rico stopped talking a while ago... you are not sure why, but she might have nothing more to talk about.
The quiet is nice, though.
"I heard what happened from mother."
Huh? You turn your head and look up at her; Rico does the same and Bianca gives you both a concerned glance. "About the attack."
Oh. You blink at your big sister and wonder when they could have talked about that without you hearing; you have been with her ever since she arrived.
Wait... if she knows, then she knows you are 'hurt'... what if she wants to check? You do not have any reason not to let her see...
"Are you two okay?"
You both nod at big sister and she gives you a long look each; she can tell if you lie, but this one is not wrong... you are okay now, even if you were scared a lot.
"I see. That's good to hear."
She leaves it be and you continue on your way.

But nobody came
You are now Rico once more.
When you open your eyes the next morning, you have no idea if you dreamed anything or not. You are still not happy that you were not allowed to sleep with big sister, anyway.
But now that the night is over, you can go play with her again... no, wait... you have... school. Ugh.
After pushing yourself out of bed and getting dressed, you quickly shuffle Eva over to the bathroom to change her bandages again.
Then you have breakfast with everyone; big sister is already awake and reading a newspaper when you enter, but she puts it down at once and smiles at you. After wishing each other a good morning, you get to eat and make yourself ready to head out. Eva pokes you with unhappiness and you poke her with your own. Neither of you wants to leave big sister alone.
"Don't worry about me; I have Ludger here and some work of my own to do."
Now you blink back at her; as if she knew what you were thinking... but only Eva can do that, this is not fair!
You pout at being found out and both adults chuckle about it.
Nothing interesting happens in school, either... you do good again, play in the breaks and tell your friends you have no time later. They can wait when big sis is around.
Speaking of, she is already waiting for you when you come back home, Ludger lying curled up by her feet and dozing while she reads.
Then you sit next to her again and the book is put away. The title looks complicated... and it is in English, for that matter.
But you are with her now, so everything is good. Her arms are around your shoulders and you enjoy being with your siblings; your family is the best.
Then your big sister sighs.
"I think we played around for long enough. What did really happen last Friday?"
Huh?
You look up at big sister... and she has her serious face. The one she only has when she wants to really know what you did... but... why? How? You put so much effort into making sure she does not know...
Over your stunned silence, she adds another question: "You are Magical Girls, aren't you?"
You may or may not be in trouble. But then again, do you really want to lie to the person you love the most?
