The Girl in the Basement

Mystery Part 2

"WHAT? What is it?" I'm starting to get really confused and scared. Are we being haunted? Is there some kind of devil living in my basement? WHAT IS GOING ON?

"Hilary, I don't how to tell you this.. It's really hard to say. Please don't hate me after I tell you this!"

"Mom can you just please tell me already!? It's freaking me out." I really want to know what's going on. Normally I wouldn't make this big of a deal about it, but she's acting like its the worst thing in the world! "Stop acting like this mom! You never act like this! Why all the sudden change?"

"Ok fine...its...your sister."

Umm...what does she mean? My sister as in Liz? Or someone else? Okay then this is seriously getting really weird.

"What do you mean my sister? From what I know the only sister I ever had was Liz and she's dead...so do you mind explaining to me what's going on?"

"Your sister Liz...go downstairs, call her name, and she will come out. Please don't hate me after this! It was for your own good!"

I go downstairs, and I'm really starting to get mad. Why is my mom lying to me like this? She knows I'm still depressed from Liz's death. Okay, here goes nothing.

"Liz?! Are you there?" Nothing. Let's try again. "Elizabeth? Is anyone really down here?"

"Yes" I hear in a really quiet voice. "Who is down here?" I ask again. Now it's getting creepy.

"Your sister Liz." She says as she walking out. I can't believe it. It looks just like her. Is this really her? If it is, why would my mom and her keep this from me? Or is this why my mom is always down here? She was working on this robot or something of my sister? I don't know, but I need answers NOW!

"MOM?!? What is this?! Why are you doing this to me?" Was it really for my own good that she kept this from me? "MOM!!! COME DOWN HERE AND EXPLAIN NOW!"

"I'm your sister Hilary! It's Liz!"

"No. My sister died 8 years ago. You're not my sister! I refuse to believe that your my sister!"

"... But I am... I never died. We did this for your own good. We never meant to.."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU NEVER DIED? If you were keeping this from me all these years, it wasn't for my own good. This is ridiculous. I need to get out of here."

I went upstairs and starting packing a suitcase. I don't know where I'm going, but I need to get away from my lying mother and "sister". I don't even know if it's really her, but I don't care. I'm leaving.

Less than an hour later, and I'm at my destination. My Aunt's house. On my dad's side of course. My mom had called me at least 7 times, and has left me 5 voicemails asking where I am. I tell my aunt everything that is happening to me, and she just laughs. But either way, she says I can stay with her for a few weeks. I thank her, and go up to the spare bedroom. Good thing I'm still close enough to my school to go everyday, because I'm not staying in that house anymore!
