"Callum?" Ellie shouted, stood up, from her bed and walked tiptoeing to the bathroom. She looked at the blood prints and didn't dare open the bathroom, door. She slowly tapped the door and it opened slowly, with a squeak. Her hand enclosed her nose and mouth, when she saw a dead body on the floor, in the bathroom. "Callum!" she said, scared to make a step closer. "What has he done to you! What will he do to me?" Her eyes fell to the footprints. "I shall revenge you" she whispered, walked to her room, pulled out a drawer and took out a gun from there. "I shall revenge you" she repeated.

Every step, she took, following the blood red footprints, made the environment colder. The footsteps stopped in front of a door. What should I do now, should I open this door, or should I call the police first. No! They would just lock him up! I want him killed, by me, to revenge Callum, he would want it, yes he would, Ellie thought and started crying. Her hands, slowly reached the grip. This is the door, to the basement, a dark cold place. Scary... should I still go? The door slowly opened, and she looked into the dark, cold basement. There was nothing that was moving, or alive. "Jeff! I know you are in here!" she said. Ellie went down, some stairs, then stopped, to see if there was any sign of a human being, there, but nothing. "Why do you want to kill me? All I did was all you want to do now. I know how you feel. I lost my loved one two, so I come and revenge, myself. Aren't we both the same?" A voice whispered, in the dark. "No we aren't! I am not a heartless killer like you are!" Ellie shouted. "Well, if you kill me, you would be a heartless killer, and I know that you so badly want to kill me, I can sense it" The voice said, and a human like creature appeared from nowhere in the dark, next to Ellie. "What are you?" Ellie asked looking over her shoulder. The creature did and evil laugh. "I am no more your little friend Jeff, but you can still call me Jeff... If you want" Ellie punched him in his stomach with her elbow and ran pass him, back upstairs. Where should I go? He can find me any where, I have to call the police, she thought, ran to her room, took her phone and ran outside in her backyard. "Show yourself!" she said after she saw me in her room window, with that bright smile. She turned to her phone and tried to type in a number and calling it. "You don't want that don't you, you want to kill me, now you have the chance" a voice whispered. When she looked up she saw, me standing right in front of her. "You are right. I don't want this! I want to kill you" she said, grabbed her gun tighter and pointed it at me, without hesitating she pulled the trigger. And from one second to the other, I was laying dead on the floor, bleeding form my chest. "I.... I ...actually...killed him..." she said, frustrated. "Hello? Hello! Ellie, what just happened, what was that loud noise! Are you all right?" Mrs. Johnson said in the phone. "I killed him! I killed him!" she said quietly. "Do not worry, I will be there in about five minutes" Mrs. Johnson said and dropped the phone. Ellie through the gun next to my dead body and ran into the house back.

"Ellie! Where are you?" Mrs. Johnson said, when she came into the silent house, followed by Mr. Johnson and the policemen and my mum and dad. "I killed him" she said. Everyone was shocked when she said that. She pointed to the backyard and everyone followed her command.

The backyard was full of blood red, grass. There was a dead body on the floor, pouring out the whole blood. "I killed Jeff! He killed Callum, who is upstairs dead. I..." Ellie cried to her parents. "Seems like you daughter is really just hallucinating" the policeman said and looked at Ellie and her parents. "What does that mean?" Mrs. Johnson said shocked. The policeman walked over to Ellie and her parents. "Well.. your daughter said she killed Jeff, who should be laying right here... but the dead boy here is her boyfriend, Callum. The policemen who investigate upstairs told me, that there is no dead boy there, neither footprints or anything. They said it looks just perfect" Ellie was speechless. "Can I interrupt this conversation? Well, it reveals Ellie inner spirit. Maybe, she has hatred towards Jeff, or she just is scared of him, or how she said, maybe her dream made her believe that Jeff was a bad boy. So she thinks Jeff is everywhere, hallucinating him being around. And maybe she thought Callum was Jeff and then murdered him" a psychiatrist said. She shook Ellie's parent's hand and introduced herself. "Another fact is that, Ellie said she shoot the boy, which is also not true, because the murder weapon, which she said was laying next to the left leg, which is wrong, because this 'murder weapon' is a knife!"

Ellie's heart stopped beating, but her breath kept being heavy. Just before she saw me on the floor, shot about five times on my chest. Now there is Callum on the floor, stab wounds all over his body, his neck cut open, and his chest full of holes. "I don't understand! He was just there. It was Jeff I killed! I... I never held a knife and did this kind of a brutal act with it... I didn't do it, please believe me!" Ellie cried. "I believe you" her mother cried with her. "Do not worry, I believe you too, but I need details from you. Do you mind coming to my office tomorrow?"the psychiatrist said. "What! Do you want to put my daughter into a psychiatric hospital?! She is not crazy, ok!" Mr. Johnson said. "Either that or her being arrested until she finds a very good or even a great lawyer until she will be set free" the policeman said. "I will go to the hospital..." Ellie said. "But you know if she doesn't find out what is wrong with you, you will have to stay in prison" the policeman said. "I don't get this, what does all this have to do with our son? He is innocent." my mum said. "Can you please call your son and ask him where he is and tell him to come here" another policeman said. "Yes of course" my mum took out her phone and phoned me. "Hello?" I answered. "Jeff, where are you?" mum asked. "I ma by Ben, I told you already!" I answered. "Well, we have a problem, can you come in, please bring Ben with you so you have an Alibi" my mum said.

"Hello, Mr. Darren, and Mr. Flenning" a policeman greet us. "Can I ask you some questions?" "Yes ?" I answered. "Mr. Benjamin Flenning, how long was Jeff by you? And what did you do?" the policeman asked. "Well he was with me, since two o'clock and that till now. We were first by me, then we walked to the south train station, there we painted some trains, with amazing graffiti drawings, but only the old, not used once. We went to James's house and we three then walked to the grey meadow behind the Red-clay woods. There we just rested then we chased after some cows, then we climbed up the trees and looked at the view. James went home and so did we, we went back to my house where we played video games. And then we were told to come here" Ben answered. "Can I know the transport you used to go to the places" the policeman asked. "Skateboard of course" Ben answered and raised up his skateboard which he held in his left arm. "Did Jeff ever walked out of your view for about an hour?" "No, then I would have so much fun, he was with me the whole time" Ben said. "Where about do you live?" the officer asked. "Rodriguez Avenue 347, that is about 15 minutes way from here by car, 35 by skateboard and 49 by feet" Ben answered. "I don't get all this, what happened, I asked and walked  to the garden, where I was shocked to see the dead body on the green grass, which turned into red grass. "What tha-" I said. I saw how Ellie was crying next to the dead body and her parents trying to clam her down. My parents were talking to a policeman. I walked over to my parents and asked them what happened. "Listen boy, this is all because of this stupid Ellie Johnson. She said yo killed Callum and she killed you right here with a gun, but the person who is dead here is only Callum and no one else. She is just crazy, for some reasons..." my mum whispered to me. I walked angry towards Ellie. "Listen Ellie, if you hate me so much, why don't you just take me. Not my family and my friends. Stop putting us all into trouble, just because you have stupid hallucinations. Yes, you are crazy, if you are waiting for anyone to say it. Nobody ever told you, because they know it would hurt you. But it doesn't seem to hurt as you want to put everyone else into trouble because of you own troubles. Well solve your problems yourself. You carry your own cross" I said. Mr. Johnson stood up angry wanting to hit me. "You are the reason she is in trouble! You are the one who kills her inside" I pushed him. "Does it look like I care about her any more! All I tried my whole life I s to make her like me! From one day to the other , she screams at me like I am an evil monster, when I try to make it better again she accuses me of killing someone who she killed not me! I know you are her parent and I know you have to hold to her, but sometimes we all have to let go and let people look in their own mirror. You can't keep faking her reflection because that is a lie. She isn't what you show her who she is, she is who she is" I said then walked off.

I was so innocent as Jeff Darren. But the whole world didn't know that I wasn't Jeff Darren any more. I was Jeff the Killer, and my plan has just began...
