It took all of us, even Raven who I kept my distance from, to get them to close. Only then did I realize that Conner was still in the bathroom. I ran to him, only to find that the door wouldn't bulge open. "Conner open the door!" I screamed through the door. "Conner come on this isn't funny open up, NOW!" Then the door opened like magic, but on the other side reality struck like a lightning bolt to the head because Conner, or what was left of him, was scattered all of over the bathroom. I screamed like one would do if they found there friend's body scattered throughout their bathroom.

Everyone was there looking at the pieces of Conner. Stella was crying on me. Andy looked like he was about to shoot someone. And Raven was just staring at it. I stormed to her, pointed my finger at her chest, and yelled, "Why would you do this?!? He's never did anything to you! So why would you do it?!? Are you deranged or something?!?" she looked at me unconcerned, "I have no idea what you're talking about. If you don't remember, I was in the living room with you the whole time." "What's wrong with you?" I asked in a low quiet whisper. I know that she's behind this. She has to be! I'm going to find answers, whether she likes it or not.

We tried to call for help but we had no phone service. Then we tried to leave, but the doors wouldn't open. Andy and I stood as far away from Raven as possible, while still keeping an eye on each other and Stella. Then, without a word, Raven blankly stood up, turned, and went down the hall. "What is she doing?" Stella asked. I turned to them when she was finally out of sight, "Okay, we need a plan to get out of this house. And quick before she tries to attack again, and she will." Andy nodded "I was already thinking of it. So remember when the windows flew open from the wind?" I nodded, while Stella just looked at us bewildered. "Well hopefully they're lose enough to open then back up and break out before the creepy one knows what we're up to." Again Stella sat in bewilderment, "Can someone please tell me what's going on?" So Andy and I went back and forth telling her what we knew.

Unfortunately, Captain Creepy came back. "So guys, I was thinking, maybe we could do something to enlighten the mood." We looked at Raven with discouraging looks as she slid an Ouija Board on to the coffee table. "Where did you get that?" Stella asked. Raven giggled, "Where else would I get it from. It was in the hallway closet." I gave her a blank stare, "We don't have Ouija Boards in our house. We never have." Andy grabbed the board and threw it against the wall, causing it to rupture to pieces. And that made little Raven, Mad Raven. She didn't say anything, she just stormed into the Conner packed bathroom. Then we made our move. Andy was the first one up. He had it half way opened, until it slammed back shut. There then was a huge crash behind us and Stella screamed. But she wasn't behind me. "Stella!" I screamed out and ran to find her. We looked in every room on the first floor, but they were empty. They were ALL empty. "Where's Raven!?!" Then a big boom blared loudly from upstairs, along with another scream. "Stella!" I knew exactly where that noise was coming from. Her room.

When we got there it was already too late. Raven was standing over Stella's barely breathing body, with a knife in her hand. "How could you!?" I cried out. My eyes were probably blood shot, but who cares. She just killed my twin sister, and only sibling. Raven turned, "All we ever wanted to do was play. But that didn't work out well, did it!?!" Andy held me up so I didn't fall over. "If Conner would have just stayed in the bathroom with us, then maybe, just maybe, he might've still been here." I was shaking way too badly. "Why Stella?! WHY!?" I cried out yelling. Raven just laughed, "Oh my dear, Bella Rose. It was actually supposed to be you." She said as if she were talking to a baby. "You see, you and you big and bad boyfriend were figuring me out. But now! Now you both are just starting to get on my LAST NERVE!" she finished. Then she did this really loud and aggressive cackle like laugh thing as the thunder boomed. "All you had to do was play some games with us." Ugh. Who is 'We' and 'Us'? "Who's 'us'?" Andy said aloud. She closed Stella's mirror length closet door. As a tall woman in a long white night-gown appeared in the mirror, Raven rolled her eyes and added. "My mom and I have been city by city. Town by town. State by state. And in every place we've been to have the same ol' people. They all try to stop us. We have never meant harm. We just wanted to play." I freed myself from Andy's grip and walked carefully toward her. "Why Bloody Mary and that Ouija Board then? Why not just play a nice board game or something. Killing my friend and sister was just unnecessary." She smiled. "Oh sweetie, that would not work. My mother here died 27 years ago." 27? How old was this person? "I've tried and tried to get her back, but it never worked. Until I saw that she could communicate with me and others through mirrors. She told me that all I needed to do to get her back was to play those two games. And once they were fully over, and everyone did what they were supposed to do, she would be released. But it never finishes properly! So now, YOU WILL ALL PAY!" She leaped at me with the knife in the air. I tried moving out of the way, but I was too slow. She rammed it into my left shoulder. Andy ran up, pushed her, and then helped me up so we could break out of this place.

When we reached the bottom of the staircase, Raven was at the top. "You won't get too far with that wound my child!" Andy looked around then grabbed the little side table and threw it at the window, breaking it. Raven was already near us. Andy looked me in the eyes and told me to go and get help. But there's no way I would leave him. "Bella go, I'll be right behind you!" he shouted. I nodded then crawled out of the window. I pounded on a neighbor's door until they finally answered. "Help us! Please! He's trying to fight her off! Can you please call someone, please!?" They were terrified and took me in to fix my found and called the police. Then after they were done with my shoulder someone was pound at the door. When they answered it, it was Andy. "Andy!" I said as I ran up to him, and embraced him. He looked physically fine. A couple scrapes and bruises here and there, but fine.

The police arrived about two minutes later. Some went to my house, and the others asked Andy and I questions while we were being checked out in the ambulance. Turns out that when I left the house, Andy stabbed Raven with the knife she used to stab me with and she fell, hit her head, and went unconscious. They let me call my parent to tell them everything before I was checked in to the hospital. I didn't tell them about Stella and Conner yet, I didn't want to do that over the phone. I just told them that there was an incident and they needed to come home immediately. Andy stood by my side all the way to the hospital. Where he might or might not have asked me to be his girlfriend.
