Penelope's POV
I can't breathe, I don't know what's going on. Why did this person attack me? I can feel my windpipe collapse, I'm dying. All I can tell is that my assailant is female. She's strangling me, but why? I hear her speak.
"This is for being so damn perfect! If you weren't so perfect, he'd still be with me!!"
So that's it, it's her.... She's getting revenge, because I stole her boyfriend? Oh no, I'm fading. I can't think anymore, I can't breathe, I can't move.... I'm dead.Emma's POV
I hear something strange, my twin! Where is Pepi!?! I rush outside to see someone get up from Penelope's lifeless body.
"Pepi!! Get up Pepi!! What happened!?! Who are you!?! Why did you do this!?! I'm calling the poli-" My words are cut short, literally. The girl had pulled a blade and cut my throat. As I stood there choking on my own blood, the girl got in my face.
"Sob is the cause of this! And when you're dead, I'm going to carve that into your flesh!" She laughs at me as I crumple to the ground. Then darkness takes over.Sadie's POV
I'm on my way to school, and man did my morning suck. I had to get up, get dressed, deal with my stupid mom, then tripped over a stupid cat.
As I get to the steps of the school, the bell rings. Great. I make my way to my first class and sit in my seat.
"Miss Black, late yet again?" Mr. Tiff asks.
"Yes, Mr. Tiff." I reply.
"Well then, detention after school it is!" He returns to his lesson. I start to doodle in my notebook.
"Hey! Sadie!" I hear someone whisper. I look to my left to see Lilly Cooper staring at me.
"What?" I ask.
"So Penelope and Joshua are totally in love, right?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that...." I say. I go back to drawing. I get bored and listen to the rest of the lesson.
"And that, students, is how molecular fission works!" Mr. Tiff turns around with a smile.
The bell rings and everyone goes out the door. I get up and walk through the chaos called a hallway. This day is going so slow! I go into my second class and sit down wishing that lunch would come faster. After three more classes and long lectures its finally time for lunch!
I go to my usual spot and sit down. I look at my food, which is hotdogs and hash browns. That's pretty good. I start to nibble on my bun when suddenly the whole lunch room goes silent.
"Breaking news! Two local teens found dead this morning! Authorities say they can't be sure who the killer is, but from quick glances this reporter can tell you it was gruesome! Local twins Penelope and Emma Caraway were murdered just outside their own home, the family is taking time to grieve! More about the case will be revealed later! This is Jenna Parks with Fox News!"
Everyone sits in stunned silence, but the only person I notice is Joshua. He has his head in his hands and his shoulders are shaking. I get up and walk over to him. I sit.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"No, I just found out my girlfriend is dead." He answers.
"Um, I don't really know what to say." I reply.
"I just, I need to be alone." He gets up and walks away.
