Chapter 3

“N-n-no A-Amber.” Anabelle stuttered. “Y-you can’t m-mean that, can y-you?”

Amber threw her head up, laughing.

“Yes, Ana, certainly. I can mean that.” Amber grabbed Ana’s head that had just fallen at Amber’s last statement with her free hand and added to what she said before it seemed to fall into a cloud of whatever else Amber had said. “And I do mean it, my dear-”

Amber stopped talking, but only to put Ana in more pain. She pronounced Ana’s  full name and teared out strands of her hair at every new syllable.

“An-”

Tear.

“-a-”

Tear.

“-belle-”

Tear.

Amber had a crazed look in her eyes, a handful of dirty blonde hair, and her teeth that Amber always refused to show.

Ana noticed that Amber was only using one hand: Her left hand

Her behavior was irregular, and what she was doing just didn’t make sense with what else she was doing.

She had the hair in her left hand.

That puzzled Ana. Amber was not left-handed. She was right-handed.

Ana finally pieced the puzzle together.

‘She wasn’t acting like this until she picked up that chest.’ Ana thought. ‘I need to get it away from her. Now.’

Anabel quickly removed herself from her sister's grip,she was the more athletic and quick twin, she got up as if snapping back out of her daze.

“Amber!! M-my hair.”Anabel said putting her hand on her head

“Oh… Do you mean this?” Amber said holding Anabel's hair strands in her hand. “Your hair is lovely.”

“No!! It's enough!!” Anabel said and grabbed the chest from her sister.

Amber was silent for some time, but she was out of her crazed state. She didn't look so crazy, she just looked like a lot of energy has been sucked out of her.

“Am-Amber??” Ana said softly and approaching her sister slowly.

Immediately Amber collapsed on the floor. Ana tried to say something but instead a piercing scream escaped from her lips.

“Amber, no, no, no, no, it's the chest, it's just the chest.” Anabel said, going down on her knees and hugging Amber's supposed lifeless body.

Ava entered the attic with Ryan trailing on her heels.

“What Happened?” Ava said, stopping dead in her tracks when she saw Amber and Anabelle, Anabelle holding a passed out Amber. Ryan immediately started freaking out. They took Amber to her room and called their family doctor.

Anabel, Ryan and Ava couldn't do anything but pace around the hallway in front of Amber's room, waiting for the doctor to come out with some news. Some minutes passed before the doctor came out. Ana stopped in her tracks, as well as Ava and Ryan.

“So, what happened?” Ana asked with a shaky voice.

“Well, she did fall-”

“Tell us something we don't know!!” Ryan shouted getting really annoyed, he may be their annoying little brother, but he still cared about them a lot.

“Ryan!” Ava sharply said to Ryan. “Your negativity is not needed, go to your room!”

Ryan scoffed and muttered: “Whatever.”

And he went to his room, making sure to slam the door on his way out, which made Ana smile and Ava sigh.

“So, Doctor, any good news?” Ava asked

“She hit her head on the floor, but it's minor, so she basically needs to rest and she shouldn't go to school for about a week.” he said, studying his clipboard

“That's not going to be a problem.” Ana muttered under her breath.

“Excuse me?” The doctor asked, taken aback, looked at Ana.

“Oh, nothing.” Anabel said, smirking.

The doctor coughed awkwardly and said, “Ummm, here's my bill.” Giving a piece of paper to Ava.

“Sure, let's go to the living room.” Ava said and gestured him towards the living room.
