      When i woke up Anthony wasnt in bed, i looked over at the clock at it was 12:00. I climbed out of bed and grabbed some clothes and walked downstairs. "Psst, Bailey?," she turned around "whats up?" "wheres the bathroom?," i said embarrassed. "Ill show you". She led me upstaurs to the end of the hall "here, theres also one upstairs on the 3rd floor if someone is in this one." "thanks". I walked into the bathroom and closed the door, I layed my clothes on the sink and turned on the shower. Getting undressed I slipped into the shower letting the hot flow over me.
      After I was done I wrapped myself in the towel sitting on the rack and just relaxed. I didnt want to get dressed yet, so I headed to my room, after I grabbed my clothes, and sat on my bed. Thats when everything went wrong, "ahhhhhhh," I heard someone scream8ng downstairs and knew something was wrong. I hurried and put on my underwear and bra jumping into my pants and slipping on my shirt as I ran down the stairs.
      It was one of those things. Its tounge coming through the windows, curling around Jason like it was going straight for him. I wasnt sure what to do so i grabbed a kitchen knife and ran back to the monster who now had Jason in the air whipping him around like a play toy. As soon as he got low enough I grabbed his arm and pulled, when the monster wouldn't let go I stabbed the tounge as hard as I could with my kitchen knife and pulled it back out, there was a loud screech and it started leaking blue blood all over the floor. "Abby what are you doing?! Get away from that thing!" I could hear Anthony yelling from behind me, but no one else was doing anything to save someone who was part of our group, so i didnt stop there. I ran up to it and flung my knife at it, hitting it directly between where its eyes would be.
      It screamed and fell dieing almost instantly. As soon as it hit the ground I could feel everyone's body rrlax a little. Not only were ther releived it was dead but that Jason was alive, but still terrified. I looked over at the monster and it was.. Shrinking? I watched and everyone else did too, suddenly it turned into an actual person. We all peaked over at the girl laying there. She wasnt moving, of course shes dead, I killed her, without even knowing there was someone in there. Jason
walked over and dropped to the floor, crying? "Jason? Are you ok?," I heard someone ask behind me. "Its my sister." he said so quietly people moved closer trying to find out just exactly what he said. He stood up and ran upstairs, moments later we heard a door slam. I moved over to the girl on the ground, "I didnt know," I whispered to the girl. I picked up her limp body and brung her to the back yard, I couldnt bring myself to burry her.
      George burried her. He seemed uneffected to the fact that she was a monster.
      I walked upstairs to Jasons room and knocked softly. "Jason, do you wanna talk about it?" I heard him shuffling and something crash to the ground, I tried the door but it wouldnt budge. "Jason?!" I yelled and backed up running and kicking the door wide open. Only to reveal Jason hanging from the ceiling. I have time. I put the chair back up and untied the rope from the ceiling fan. I caught him and dropped to the floor preforming CPR. All I could imagine was my mother, what if there was time to save her, and we just didnt try. Suddenly Jason shot up and gasped for air, he started crying and rocking. I leaned over and tried to give him space but he leaned closer and hugged me. "Dont let me do that again!" he pleaded. Like I was responsable for him. "I care about you, I dont want you killing yourself, please, next time. Talk to me. I dont care how busy I am, just come talk to me."
      We sat there crying for a minute and we both walked downstairs and i told Bailey to keep an eye on him while I talked to Bobby and my brother, because of all the craziness we never got to talk about this.
      "Abby, you know I've been wanting to tell you, your mom, she-ah she thought it would be better if you didn't know, she thought it would be easier if I took your brother and went somewhere else."
      "HOW WAS THAT EASIER?! I lived for years thinking my father was too busy for me, or maybe he was dead, come to find out you've been hiding from me as my uncle?.."
      "Abby, he's still our dad, you're still my twin, were in this together, we can't just be mad at each other this whole time! One of those things could bust in and take any one of us and then you would regret saying anything to our dad. We love you Abalene. Now stop being a baby and appreciate us around while we still are."
      Anthony got up and walked away. " he's right Abby, think about it ok honey."
