Chapter 4
The Week Earlier…
"Alice?" I asked my sister.
"What Jason?" she said irritably.
"Can you invite the pretty girl over," I shylyasked her.Alice was the more social twin out of the two of us. I always asked her to talk to new people for me. Since we moved into this town Alice had made so many friends and I was well liked because I was related. Alice and I were very close despite our personalities being polar opposites.
"Um, what pretty girl? Jillianne? Maria? Abby?" she asked me. Unlike most people our age, we didn't care if someone had a crush. Mommy always described us as mature.
"No, the one with blue hair," I told her.
"What's her name? I hear Abby talk about her all the time. She says that her mom says that the girl with blue hair is trouble" Alice told me as she looked up from her coloring a page of her favorite Disney character, Alice in Wonderland.
"I don't know but, I... well… she seems lonely. That's all," I told her.
"You’re silly, Jason. Wanna play Mario Kart?"
"I call Yoshi!" I said, forgetting about the blue haired girl.

I ran toward the flashing blue and red lights. I had been waiting in the car with Mommy and then she just left, so I followed her. I saw Mommy yelling at Circe, Alice had told me her name, then Mom slapped her. My eyes widened. She frowned and started to cry and ran off.
"Mommy, why did you hit her?" I asked running up to her.
"Jason..." she was crying. I looked toward the lights; there was yellow tape all around the play area.
"Mommy, where is Alice?" I asked. I was starting to get scared. Mommy was crying, I didn’t see Alice, and the police were everywhere. Slowly, I walked towards the tape. No adults were looking, then I snuck under the tape. My eyes widened. Blood was everywhere. The cops didn't had forgotten cover the bodies. I saw Tom, Gage, Liam, Peter, and Garrett. They were stabbed and chopped to pieces.
I walked closer and I saw a head with dark curls, Alice. I ran over. "Alice!" I screamed. Her face was bruised and bloody.
"That blue haired devil killed her! I saw her!" I heard Mommy scream.
"Miss, we don't think a little girl could do this, please calm down."
"I am not going to fucking calm down!" she yelled.
"We have the right to arrest you" the cop told her sternly.
"Fine! Arrest me! I won't feel guilty while people are getting murdered!" Mommy screamed. Was she talking about Circe? The cop took her in the car and left.
A cop finally saw me. He jogged over to me, "You need to leave this area. Didn't you see the yellow tape?"
I stared to tear up, "Alice is my twin!" I pointed at her bloody body.
"So that lady was your mom," he said under his breath. He picked me up. "Hey! Why didn't you cover the bodies?" he yelled at the other cops. A cop stood up grabbed some sheets and,ran over to the site. I didn't want to look.
"Do you need anything?" he asked me. I shook my head, he sighed. He put his hand on my head. "Hey Tanya!" he yelled. A women cop came over. "Will you take care of him for a couple minutes? I have to go do some crowd control." he whispered something into her ear. I heard the words twin, dead, and shock. I sniffed.
