Two For One

Jade

"Holy shit."

I run up the stairs of my apartment building. When I reach the top there are some men at my door.

"What are you doing?" I inquire. There are two of them, one has to be at least 6'4 and the other looks around 5'11.

"I hope you don't mind mam but we have been sent to come get you and bring you down to the police station for some questions." I nod slowly and follow the men out to their car. The tallest one opens up the back door for me and I get in without hesitation.

We start do drive off and for most of the ride, it is silent. "So," I start not liking the silence "what are your names?"

The tall one looks at me and grunts while the other smiles. "I'm detective Lee and that is detective Jhon." I smile at detective Lee and look out the window. "Jade" I look at the detectives "huh?" "Your name, it is Jade correct?" I give one nod and look him in the eyes.

"Wow, your eyes are beautiful." I stare at his dark green orbs with a blue ring around them. They are so mesmerizing.

"Thanks, same to you." His comment snaps me back into reality and I start to blush like a mad man. "No they aren't." I look down at my lap and giggle.

"Ok love birds we are here." Detective Jhon walks out the car, up the stairs, and enters the building. "We should go now-" "ya probably." I said jumping out of the backseat of the police car.

When we walked into the station it was a mess. Officers were running back and forth with paperwork and messy binders. Through all of the people, my eyes only meet one person who stares right back at me.

She had dark purple eyes that stared into your soul. When I started to pay more attention to her I see that there were tears welled up in her eyes, and there was blood........ ON HER HANDS!

My eyes don't leave hers and I pull on the detective's sleeve. I point to where the girl is. "What are you pointing at?" Lee says in a grumpy voice. I look at his face and scrunch up my nose. "You don't see her!?!" I look back to where she is but only now I can't see her.

"Are you ok?" Detective Lee asks. I'm left in utter shock and confusion. "Never mind, I thought I saw something." The three of us walk into a room that you see in the tv shows when you are going to get questioned.

I take a seat at the small table while taking slow deep breaths. "Ok Jade I'm going to need you to be completely honest with me," Detective Lee says sitting in front of me. He laid out 5 pictures that all had a stamp on them that said, murderer. I looked over the picture with confusion until I came across a familiar picture. 

"That picture," I said pointing to the picture of the girl that looked similar to the one that I saw at the entry of the police station. 

"Oh sorry that picture wasn't meant to be there," Lee said taking the picture of the desk just as I snatched it from his hands to get a better look. "I - I saw her here, she had blood on her hands," I said as I struggled to get the words out of my mouth.

"Jade..........that girl is dead," Detective Jhon said from the corner of the room. "What, no, no she's not I just saw her, I'm not crazy," I said as the two detectives exchanged a look of confusion and surprise. 

"How is that possible?" Lee asks me. I look at the both of them and say nothing. "Why were you able to see her?" Detective Jhon asks. "I don't know she was just there." The two of them exchange a look and glance at me. Nodding their heads they pull out some more pictures of her.

"What do you see in this picture?"

I take it and thoroughly examine it. "There is a person in the background, its a girl around 14 or 15, she is crying." Both men's mouths are ajar as if in shock. "This is connected the murder we brought you in here for." Detective Lee says. 

He gives me the first pair of pictures from the recent murder case. "What do you see here?" I look at the picture and drop it, backing out of my seat I stand up and fall to my knees. Memories that aren't mine flood into my mind.

The girl who was supposed to be dead walked into a store. There were only two people in there. She follows the lady at the desk into the back room. She pulls out a knife and stabs her then drinks up all the blood. After the woman is dried and dead she eats the skin of her and leaves the meat and bone.

"What do you see?" I look at them and shake my head in disbelief. I explain it all to them trying not to leave out a single detail. Both watch and listen the entire time I explain.

"That's shocking based on the fact that there is no one there." I give a puzzled look as he hands me the picture again.  He is right there is no one in the picture it's just empty. "How is that?" I ask them. "Huh?" I slam my hands on the table. "What type of sick trick is this!?!" I'm starting to get angry now.

"Calm down." Detective Jhon says sounding a little scared. I drop my head and only look up ti glare at them. "You don't remember?" I look at detective Lee and give a questioning look. "The story you told was from the killers perspective, you were there through during the event." I shake my head furiously. 

"Jade you were there."

I stare in disbelief and look at both of them closely. "No, I wasn't"

"Jade that was you, you were the one crying, the other girl was always with you." Tears start to roll down my face. "She was the closest one to you, you were both kidnapped and she found you." More unwanted memories flood into my head and I'm left alone to wail.

"Why is this happening to me"
