One room, two beds

The ones who occupied are twin identical sisters, named Ashley and Ashlynn

Half past seven, they shared the same make-up, clothes, and style of hair

None of these girls bicker or fought, they've kept it safe and fair

Both have three lines marked on their wrist

A symbol of common bond, action like reflection

Like Yin and Yang, their personalities are very different

Ashlynn is disquiet and angst, while Ashley is perfect and most orderly organized

Off to school where one thinks like glitz and glam

The other one with the most letters, torture and hell

Crowd of students dragged their feet in disarray line

Walking like zombies, pale and dead complexion, see the dark bags under their eyes?

Ding, Dong, Ding! The sound brought attention, like bell ringer pulling the ropes from cathedrals peak

Instead of the principal's announcement, came an eerie static

What could it mean?

Is this some sort of trick?

Perhaps stress has taken our stable minds?

Maybe someone is in a distorted reality

Next came lunch, pardon my language Sherlock

Scraping, crunching, pick and eat

Repeat the mechanism, rewind to counterclockwise

Barging through the doors, here comes grim reaper!

Face concealed, they saw nothing but a black hole

In the figure's hand held a full loaded gun

Bang Bang!  Aimed upward at heaven

Needle points senseless

Compass lost direction

Silence overwhelmed the area, all duck for shelter

Someone has to be the hero

Now guess which twin saves the day?

With bravery and courage, she charged straight at the figure

Tackle down, both on the ground, but the girl turned around

Awaiting her reward

No applause, no praise, there's not much vigor

How stupid can she be?

Send in the trigger!

Kiss by silver, out pour thickest blood

Her vision went hazy, yet, that's not all

Like the speakers, her mind replayed that repetitive static

Sight like television, channels change and flicker between illusion and reality

The haunting has arrive, demons finally came for her price!

Every of you readers are curious to know

What of her sister?

Who is the killer?

Was it real at all?

Answers lie as we hear the hero's point of view

Listen, words based of her truth

You or was it by our parents decision?

Everything doesn't revolve around you

Lucky you're still alive but I will left my sign as you've done the same

Hatch a plan to finish you, inspired by Beowulf, no escape

Scared you and bullseye, sentence, I'm placed where people born mindlessly undead

As I attack the guard, reached for the gun, hand struck twelve then six o'clock

World is bleak, remember me as my sanity floats away

Here lies the savior, girl who lived in Asylum

A/N: Nyhterides I hope you read this and guess which sister is the delusional killer. Including the readers I hope the Asylum gave you chills (I'm not a horror writer so this is my first time). Now if you can't tell which I shall give you a hint!

Hint: In the girl's POV there you'll find her name.

With that my first challenge for this contest is done.
