Alter Ego

Chapter 10

Present day:

(Baby's 16, Jack's 27 and Mark's 28)

Baby's PoV:

Four years.

It's been four years since I was last in hell. I just wander LA streets without a care in the world. It's cool being homeless, or at least it is for me. Oh well. As I turned a corner I smashed into someone. He was unrecognisable but he had a green floof on his head and big, ocean blue eyes. His eyes seemed to widen when he saw me.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" He said still wide eyed.

"It's ok, it didn't hurt."

"Ok. Wait do I know you?" He said pulling out his phone.

"I don't think I've ever seen you before." I said confused.

"What's your name?"

"Uhhh... Baby."

"It is you. Ok so crazy story but I knew two of your brothers." I felt my heart drop at those words. My brothers, haven't thought about them in a while. "I'm sorry if I upset you but can you come with me?"

"How do I know your not gonna kill me?"

"I wouldn't hurt a fly." He said smiling sweetly. I didn't fully trust him but what choice did I have.

"Ok, I'll go." (Remember kids never go anywhere with strangers)

We arrived at his house shortly after. We stepped inside and I took off my shoes, backpack and jacket.

"If you want you can have a shower upstairs?"

"Ok, sure." I walked upstairs being very cautious. I looked for a bathroom and found on my third attempt. I loved the heat of the water. It felt like a big warm blanket around me.

Jack's PoV:

I couldn't believe I found her. After years of looking I finally found her. Nate and Matt's little sister. Anti was right about her having a doll face. She looked like a human doll but she was so cute. Her blonde hair dirty with mud and dirt. She looked nothing like Nate and Matt but maybe she looked like the triplet. That would've made sense seeing as though Nate and Matt weren't identical.

I heard Mark's car pull up outside. I didn't know how he'd react to the fact that there was a sixteen year old girl in our house. He walked up the pathway and opened the door.

"Hey Jack!" He said cheerfully.

"Hey Mark! Uhh... Can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, ask away!"

"Ok so you know about four years ago there was this girl we had to find?"

"Yeah?"

"Well I found her. Her names Baby and she's upstairs now."

"Really Jack. You let some random girl into our house. How old is she?"

"Sixteen. Mark it's fine, I know we don't know her but according to my friend, she was Nate's little sister."

"I thought Nate didn't have a sister?"

"Well according to my friend he had a whole life he kept from everyone but he's not revealed it yet."

"Ok Jack, just be careful. We don't know what she's like.

"Ok, thanks for trusting me. Now I'm gonna go show her to the guest room and have a shower. Ok?"

"That's cool. See ya later Jack-a-Rooney."

"See ya Markimoo." I waved to him and headed up the stairs to the bathroom. I knocked gently on the door.

"You in there?"

"Yeah just coming now." The doorknob turned and she came out in her clothes. They seemed cleaner than they were when I first saw her. I led her to a room further down the hall.

"Ok this is where you'll be staying. Is it ok?"

"It's perfect. Thanks"

"Oh and can we have a chat later with my friend Mark. We just uhh... Want to clear some things up."

"That's fine. See you in a bit. I might go down and meet Mark later but I'll see you later." She waved cheerily and shut the door behind her. I was a bit surprised when I heard it lock but a girl needs her privacy.

Mark's PoV:

I cannot believe what Jack's done. I know she's only a kid but she is still a stranger. I really wanted to find out what Nate and Matt were hiding all those years. I mean they acted like brothers but their communities thought they'd make an amazing couple.

After having those thoughts, I heard the pitter of feet coming down the stairs. I looked up to see the young girl standing there.

"Hey, you must be Baby. I'm Mark."

"Hi Mark. Your Jack's friend aren't you?"

"Yeah I am."

"You look like someone I know."

"Do I. Who are they?" I said with a confused look ok my face.

"His name rimes with your name too. He's called Dark." As soon as she said that I felt my heart drop. How did she know him. "I also know someone who looks like Jack too. His names Anti." She smiled.

"How do you know them?"

"Easy, Dark slit my brother, Sam's, throat. Anti shot Nate with Antiseptic turning him into Natemare making him stab Matt in the chest and slitting his own throat." She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry that happened."

"It's ok it wasn't your fault. It was the evil side of you's fault." She wiped her eyes and sat on a chair opposite me. I couldn't believe what Dark had done. She didn't deserve this.

"I need to make a quick phone call I'll be back."

"Ok. Oh and Mark?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't baby me."

"Got it." With that I walked outside  and pulled out my phone. I quickly pressed the contact I wanted and it started to ring. It was answered after the third ring.

"What do you want?"

"Hey to you too Dark. Anyway I was just wondering did you have anything to do with this girl called Baby's brothers deaths?"

"Yeah why?"

"Why'd you do it?"

"Uggghh... Look it was an order from her cousin. She was meant to be dead to be that attempt failed. I'll get her one day though. Anyway bye Markimoo." He said that last part in a mocking tone. God I hated him.

But why did Baby's cousin want her and her family dead?

Omg that was a long one. My fingers hurt now.
