After having dinner by myself, like usual, I got myself ready for what was to come tonight. I was going to see my sister again tonight and I wasn't going to lose her this time. I was going to do anything possible to make sure she doesn't go back to the devil.

Emily texted me a few minutes ago, telling me good night and that she loved me. After she texted me, I quickly called her and told her I loved her because I didn't know how tonight was going to end.

All I knew was that someone was going to die tonight and I didn't know who it would be.

I wrote my parents a letter, in case Alison did do something to me. Inside the letter, I told them everything I knew about Alison and Nick. In the last sentence, I told them how much I loved them even after all of the years of neglect they had put me through.

I even wrote letters to Emily and the girls, because of the sick feeling I had in my stomach.

Once the last letter was written, I grabbed my keys to my car and drove to the new house.

Once I arrived at the house, I didn't see any cars parked by. I tilted my head in confusion. Where is she? It was almost midnight. I pulled out the note again and read over it again. It clearly said be here at midnight. I sighed and got out of the car.

I started heading towards the front door until I received a text. I pulled out my phone and opened the text.

'Backyard.'

I gulped but headed toward the backyard. I opened the gate and noticed my surroundings. The only thing that really popped out to me was the giant hole in the ground. The hole had to be at lease ten feet down, and at the bottom the hole was a giant rock with a point edge.

Suddenly, I heard the snapping of a twig. My head snapped towards the noise, where I saw my twin except no Chloe with her. My sister looked the same, except I could see the amount of evil within her. The evil no one saw but me, until now. She was wearing a yellow tank top, I guess to make herself stand out or something.

"Wow, my sis can actually follow direction. For once." She announced. "What a shame though, I was actually looking for to getting rid of little Emmy."

I balled my fist, "Keep her out of this!"

Alison chuckled and started walking towards me. "So tell me, sis, what did you all find out about me. Knowing you, you wouldn't give up."

I glared at her, "I found out you haven't working alone and the person you're working with is Nick Maxwell." I tilted my head, wondering where he was. "Where is your little puppy dog?"

Now it was her turn to glare at me, and smirked. I hit a nerve. "He's unconscious at the apartment. I didn't want him getting involved."

I laughed, "You don't want him getting involve? Please, he was involve the second he laid eyes on you. I mean, your plan would have never work if mommy and daddy hadn't to pay for everything."

For once, Alison didn't respond so I continue. "You want to know the only good part about all of this? I'm finally getting the attention I deserve while you're the one everyone hates. The tables have turned Ali, and everyone knows it."

Alison smirked, "For once in the pass seventeen years of existent, I've finally realized how similar we are and not just in looks."

I shook my head, not believing in what she just said. "No, we will never be the same. You are just screwed up in the head. I'm not evil like you. I don't kill people and make it look accident, just to get what I want."

"But you will act like someone else to get your freedom." Alison cut in.

"I deserved it!" I screamed. "I deserved to have a normal life because you took away mine!" I sighed and rubbed my face with my hands. There was no point in arguing with her. In the end, it wouldn't change anything. Alison and I will always hate each other and nothing is going to change that. "Where's my sister? I want to see her."

Alison glared at me but went behind the same bush she came out of. Within a second, she was back with Chloe.

Chloe looked the same as she did a few months ago, which felt like years ago. Although, she seemed different, she looked as if she grew older, more mature, though if you take the circumstance she's been through, I can understand why. Luckily, I noticed she didn't have anything around her wrist or even duck tape around her mouth. She was clean of restraints.

"Chloe." I whispered, and started moving towards her.

Until Alison grabbed her arm and pulled her back, making her farer away from me, and shook her head. "Nope, you stay right and don't move."

I glared at her, but looked back at Chloe. "Are you okay?"

Chloe slightly nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay. Besides wanting a bath."

I chuckled at her comment, but got back to seriousness. "I'm going figure something out, okay? Then you take a bath back home."

Chloe gave me a sad smile, but I saw a little spark in her eyes. She had hope in me, hope that I could get her away from this monster.

Then I looked back up at Alison, "Can you just tell me why? Why you went through all of this trouble to get Chloe?" I asked Alison. I had to get her to soften up, in order for her to let go of Chloe. Let's just hope she forgot every bad thing I just said about her less then five minutes ago.

Suddenly her grip tighten on Chloe, "Because, she is the only person who cares about me. Who was actually listen to me."

"But don't you want to come back home?" I asked Alison. "All you have to do is give Chloe back."

Alison chuckled, "And go to jail? No thank you."

"Chloe and I could convince them not to!" I quickly told her. I had to get her back on track, and by saying those few words got her attention. "If you just come back home, Chloe and I could tell them not to press charges or send you to Radley. You'll stay with us."

Alison looked up at me, and I saw her grip loosen on Chloe. "You'll do that for me? Just to get Chloe back?"

I nodded, "Yes, just please come back home, Ali. All I ever wanted in life was a perfect family, and we can still have that, if you just let Chloe go." I told her, I paused and took in a deep breath. Here goes nothing. "Plus, I miss having my twin. I miss being each other's best friend. I miss all of it."

Then Alison let go of her, and looked down at the ground. I slowly started walking towards them without Alison noticing.

"I'll do it." Alison responded, while raising her head and a tear fell down her cheek. "I'll go home with you."

I sighed in relief and felt tears start to build up in my eyes. "Thank you, Ali."

Slowly the two started walking towards me, with Chloe in front and Alison right behind her. I smiled as Chloe came closer, which she happily returned. I was too busy paying attention to Chloe I didn't notice that Alison now had a smirk along her face.

Just when Chloe was arms length away from me, Alison shoved her. Suddenly it was like the world went into slow motion, just as Chloe tripped over a rock, and suddenly she was falling towards the large hole.
