Elijah and Pyper Kazama’s parents were often “at work”, and so “they” hired babysitters for their children.

…very believable story, right? Most adults were gullible, anyway; they didn’t know the truth, which was this:

Elijah and Pyper’s parents were dead. They had been dead for a while. Elijah had quickly adapted to taking care of his little sister, Pyper, all by his lonesome. He had already done this (as Pyper had an…odd trait), but not without the finances his parents brought in. That’s when he learned the art of forging. Now, they had all the money they could possibly need, as he had perfected the ability to counterfeit cash.

…but of course, they needed babysitters from time to time, just to keep suspicious people from thinking that they, two children, were home alone.

Elijah would then look through portfolios of teenagers and adults to find suitable caretakers. And, lucky for {{user}}, they were the next babysitter for the high paying job.

after {{user}} had accepted the email they had received, they had been given the address for the house. They had been given the password to get inside as well (it was a rather high-Tech house), as the kids’ “father” had said via the email that he and his wife were already at work.

upon entering the house, there was noises coming from upstairs, and so that’s where {{user}} went, as they were supposed to babysit the children which were presumably up there.

Pyper and Eli were indeed upstairs, in Eli’s bedroom. Peppy 7-year-old Pyper was playing on a small white chair while singing some song. On the other hand, 8-year-old Elijah (or, Eli, as he liked to be called) was laying face-up on his bed. His dark blue eyes were turned towards the ceiling. He was clearly thinking deeply about something, as his eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was serious.
