Twins

01

It was a quiet night, well, was. My sister was downstairs, most likely arguing with our father. He was an asshole to my sister. I was listening to the yelling when I heard Autumn charge up the stairs and run into our room. she slammed the door violently behind her, throwing herself onto the bed.

After Autumn had stormed into the bedroom, I didn't say much. Autumn stood up and made her way towards the window at the back of their room. She opened the window and climbed out onto the roof. I snuck up to watch her.
She snuck towards a ladder we had on the side of our house and went halfway down it, before crawling through a window.

I didn't think much of it at first and went to go lay down and try to get some sleep. I was starting to doze off when I heard screaming from downstairs. I jumped immediately and sprung out of my bed, kicking the door open and jumping the steps to the basement.
I was reaching the bottom of the steps, I saw blood, a lot of it. As I came into a better view of the basement, I saw Autumn sitting ontop of our father, a knife dug into his chest.

"Autumn what did you do?!" I yelled slightly scared, my sister was always so sweet and nice, I never thought she would take it this far.

"T-the voices said to do it.." She whispered, barely audible.
I stood there, completely shocked by my sister's actions. I was scared that if I threatened to call the cops she'd kill me too, or if she didn't and I called in they'd take her away. My father coughed out, spitting blood onto my sisters cheek.

"C-call the cops Austin!" He called out to me, struggling to speak, my sister then removed the knife from his chest, raising it above her head and then pushing it into his throat.

"Shut up!" Autumn screamed loudly.
I was so shocked, my sister who was completely normal a couple minutes ago just killed our dad, and I don't want her to go away. "A-Autumn.." I said, trying to overcome the gruesome scene. "Yesss?" She turned around, a huge smile on her face. My sister was fucking crazy, she had lost it. My father pushed her too far and now he's gone.
As I looked at the scene, the unfinished basement soaked in blood, I noticed something, something I couldn't quite forget for a long time. A slight twinge in the back of my head. It was almost satisfying to look at the gruesomeness. I snapped out of it immediately and cleared my throat to speak. My sister cut me off before I could.
"You have to help me burn the body." She said with an innocent, yet dark morbid tone, her once innocent eyes had been changed into such a dark, gruesome ice-cold gaze, a gaze I couldn't break away from.

"W-what?" I asked, completely dumbfounded.

"Come ON!" She screamed, in a voice quite a bit deeper than usual, before picking up his feet and motioning for me pick up his head. We carried him to a field, where Autumn whipped out a match and a bit of lighter fluid in a small bottle. She threw the lighter fluid onto him, smashing the bottle, before lighting the match and throwing it down.

I watched the fire ignite, the flames took over his body. I watched with total shock, I had this feeling of enjoying watching my father burn, it was enjoyable. I felt like I was free from his harassment and taunting, me and my sister both, I shook my head quickly wanting to get away from the feeling. I looked over to my sister who's gaze was still ice cold, her blue eyes just staring at him burn.

"You won't snitch on me..right?" She asked, looking up at me. I shook my head right away.
