Lost and Found

Chapter 5

Reading the letter made my heart stop. I was so scared of this person. It made no sense at all. What have I ever done that would make someone come after me ? Well besides that one thing but I was so young and I've gotten better. Brianna pulled into the parking lot of our apartment building and I rushed into my bedroom.

I turned on my laptop and opened up a file named, My Double. I began to look through the photos. There were photos of me and there were pictures of the one who ruined my life. The one who went to a mental asylum. I swear it wasn't my fault and they say she's gotten better. I stumbled across one photo in particular. It was of the day of the first incident, the one my parents never found out about.

Flashback

"You wet my hair! I can believe you would do that," she yelled at me. I hadn't meant to but she made it seem as though I did it all on purpose.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to." I looked down, fiddling with my fingers. To be honest I didn't think it was that big of a deal, I mean, we were in a pool, you would expect to get your hair wet. I didn't say hat to her face though, at times she scared me, and this time was no exception.

"Of course you meant to do it. You love ruining things. You're just so jealous of me and everyone else. Why can't you just be normal? Gosh, sometimes I really hate you!"

I gasped and looked up at her in suprise. She never said those kinds of things to me, we were the best of friends. Sure at times we wouldn't get along very well but she never said anything like that before. That's when they first started talking to me.

"Just kill her already, she won't mind. She wants you to. She's sad and doesn't want to be here anymore.  Just go on, push her head under the water. It'll be alright." I was so confused. why was I having these kinds of thoughts. I would never do anything like that to her. But... what if they were right? If she wanted me to do it, it was the nicest thing to do. So I swam over to her and just pushed her head under.

She began to struggle under my grip but I continued to hold her head under.It felt kinda good to be in control. I was the one who had all the power in this one moment. She started kicking and punching at the water but she was getting weaker. That's when I realized that I was killing her. I let her go and jumped back as her head popped up above the surface, gasping for air. I was staring at my hands,  terrified of myself. What had I been about to do? That wasn't who I was. I wasn't crazy, nor was I a murderer.

"Are you crazy!? Why would you do that?! You could have killed me!" At this point the tears were streaming down and her face.

"I-I don't know. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know what I was doing.Please don't tell mom and dad. I'm sorry." She looked at me once more, fear evident in her eyes before jumping towards me. She buried her face in my chest and began to sob.

"It's okay. I won't tell them. I'm sorry for saying those things. I love you sis."

I was so relieved and even though it didn't fit in with the mood I smiled a bit. "I love you too sis."

End of Flashback.

I was eight years old at the time. Hard to believe I was so young with those kinds of thoughts in my head. There were a few more incidents after that but nothing too bad. Things went to hell for a short time but that was when I was thirteen, I don't like to think about it too much. Long story short,  it ended with her being sent to a mental asylum. And she thought I was the crazy one. After that things were pretty much normal.

We'd moved to a new town so no one really questioned where my sister was. I would tell them I was an only child and after saying it so many times I guess I started to believe it .

I wonder if its her who sent the letter, her who murdered our parents. She could have escaped. The thought of her being back made my heart stop and sent a shiver down my spine. She was crazy, and if she was back my life would literally be over before I knew it.

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like had I been an only child. It would have saved my parents a lot of stress and if she was the murderer, could have meant they would still be alive today. Thinking of them made tears come to my eyes.

I shut of my laptop and layed down, wanting nothing more then to fall into a deep sleep. But sadly I couldn't,  so many thoughts racing through my mind. I got up and went to the bathroom.

When I came back I noticed the window was open. I closed it almost fully shut. I was walking towards my bed when I tripped over something. I looked down to see a small box. I picked it up and carried it over to my bed, sittong down and opening it up.

It was a music box, and when it opened a piano melody was playing. It echoed through my room, creating eerie background music. Inside was a small slip of paper and a bottle of pills. I looked on the back of the slip of paper and, nicely typed it read,

          Don't look up or I might just have to ask for my pills back.

My heart stopped. I knew it told me not to but I couldn't resist. Slowly, I lifeted my head up and faced the window. I screamed almost instantly for when I looked there, I seen a white face.

~¤~

The face was pale with its veins showing clearly through its skin almost like spiderwebs. It had sharp fangs and it's eye was twitching as if it were possessed.  Its eyes were dark and tired but had an evil glint to them. It had unkempt hair and blood dripped down the side of its mouth. It raised one finger to reveal a sharp claw and scratched the window, tilting its had to the side with a creepy smile. The moment it heard Rosalinda scream its smile disapeared and it began banging on the window, its eyes becoming red and foam dripping from its mouth.

Brianna rushed into the room, after hearing the scream. "What happened is everything okay? " Rosalinda had her eyes closed, her hands covering her ears and her knees pulled up to her chest. She pointed to the window, rocking back and forth. "Honey, theres nothing there."

Rosalinda's head snapped up in shock, and sure enought, the face was gone.
