Play or Die

Chapter 11: 2:14

No 'medium' wanted to come to my house to check out May. I just want all of this to stop. I need this to stop. Possessing me was one thing, but possessing Ally? This has gone too far. Although, I can't act reckless. I can't just go up to Ally or May and yell at her. May is crazy!

     "Ally?" I ask, looking at my sister.

     "Yes, Rachel?"

     "How come you haven't thrown any tea parties?"

     Ally shrugs and replies blankly, "they're for little kids. I'm not a little kid anymore."

     I stare at the girl. Ally once told me that we should all live our childhood and move on when it's time to move on.

     As if reading my mind, Ally says, "my childhood is done now. It's time to move on." With that, the chestnut-haired girl walks away.

     I'm desperate for a plan right now. I need May out of Ally's body. I'm going nuts just by thinking about it.

     Another clue that confirmed May possessing Ally was that all my videos in the night camera was just me sleeping. But today was different; or should I say last night?

     The first thing I do when I wake up is watch the videos from last night. Even though nothing has changed, I still check just in case.

     This is what happened: I woke up and watched the video from last night. The first few hours were okay until my door opened. The person was Ally (or May). And she just stands there, staring at my sleeping figure. Before morning comes, Ally walks away, but not before asking, "remember me?"

     It's freaky. I thought this would be a one time thing, but it went on and on and on. Even though May is in Ally's body, I still have to take care of her body. For instance, Ally needs sleep.

     Then I noticed something weird. Every night, Ally comes in at 2:14 a.m. She arrives on time. In these videos, there was never a time where she did arrive late.

     To make things worse, Ally comes in the room I am at exactly 2:14 p.m and does the exact same thing. I've decided to confront Ally about it.

     

"Ally, I've noticed that you come to wherever I am at exactly 2:14," I pause and finish, "p.m." I couldn't afford May knowing that I found out what she does at night.

     Ally stares at me, although her brown eyes are intimidating. I push my glasses up, prepared for anything. She says, "is it bad to check on you? You are my only family."

     To push further, I ask, "would it be different if you had a twin?"

     I could have sworn Ally's eyes went different. The dangerous kind of different. It was like she was ready to kill me. Although, her expression remained calm and sophisticated. It was as if I had imagined it.

     "Twins are absurd." With that, she walks away.

It's exactly 2:00 a.m right now. I took the risk of staying up until 2:14. I wonder what would be May's reaction.

     Minutes flew by quickly and before I knew it, it was time. I wait patiently for Ally to open the door and stand there.

      Since my back was facing the door, I hear the creaking of my door opening. I wait for a few minutes before getting up groggily. I wouldn't want to make things obvious.

     "Ally, what are you doing here?" I ask, 'rubbing' my eyes.

     Instead of a reaction, Ally says, "I couldn't sleep."

     Biting my lip, I ask, "would you like to sleep next to me?"

     "No. But remember me." Ally says and walks away, leaving me in the pit of confusion.

The past few days has been going through the same routine. What angers me is that, how can I be so weak about everything? Why can't I save Ally from May?

     It frustrates me to know that I'm afraid of what's going to happen if I provoke the dead girl.

     At exactly 2:14, Ally walks in the room. Although, something's off. Ally is wearing a pink tank top with matching shorts. Her chestnut hair is messy, which shouldn't. Her face is red and stained with tears.

     I immediately get up from my seat and run up to her. I kneeled down to an eye level, looking deeply into Ally's brown eyes. They have emotion; but it was fear.

     "Ally? What's wrong?" I ask frantically, wiping her tears.

     Ally sniffles and whispers, "May tried to kill me."
