Alison opened her room door, to hear her parents arguing, as they did every night since Franny's disappearance. It has to be some kind of burden to not know if your child is dead or alive. Wondering if they're safe or being hurt...or if they just plain ran away. But Alison knew that Franny wasn't dead and she was safe. She just had a feeling. She knew her twin was out there somewhere. They had just turned 16 yesterday, only Alison had to celebrate by herself. Her mom  didn't want to acknowledge her, because all she cared about was Francine Troy. Alison just came with the package. She thought back to all of the missing posters at school and people wishing it was Alison instead of Franny. She knew her parents definitely felt that way."David! I'm telling you. That girl did something to our baby! She's evil! Always was and always will be!!" Mary shouted. They were in the kitchen. "You need to cut your bullshit. There is nothing wrong with Alison. She didn't have anything to do with Franny being kidnapped! You aren't the best mother you know. You have two daughters not one!!!! They're damn twins for God's sake!!! You cannot continue to treat Ali like that. You're the reason, she's the way she is. Closing herself off, not wanting to talk to us. And now that she's 16, she is getting older, and she is going to shut you out of her life for good soon. I'm only still here because I love BOTH of my daughters." David yelled back. Alison ducked in to the bathroom as he came stomping down the hallway. When she was sure it was clear, she stepped out of the bathroom, and went back to her room. She walked up to her mirror and stood there. Her red hair rested carelessly on her shoulders. She was beautiful in her own way, but she wasn't Franny. No, Franny was the super twin..IS the super twin. Franny has vibrant blonde hair and crystal blue eyes that sucked you in when you looked at her. While Franny was blonde? Alison had bright red hair. Where Franny had blue eyes? Alison now had green emerald eyes. They were once blue, but as she got older, they turned colors. The doctors had no explanation to why Alison was suddenly sporting green eyes. They looked exactly alike and if it wasn't for the hair and eyes, no one would be able to tell them apart. Franny was the popular head cheerleader, and Alison was the loner who no one ever noticed. "You have to get out of my house!!!" Mary bursted into the room, flinging the door open. Alison jumped and turned around. "Get out!!! NOW!!" She yelled pointing out of the room. "Mary!! Get out of her room! Alison you're not going anywhere." David walked into the room and pulled Mary out by the hands. She struggled to get free screaming "No David!! She has to go. If Franny isn't here, she shouldn't be either." Alison closed the door and locked it after her dad drug her mom out and down the hall. She felt herself getting angrier as the seconds rolled by. She didn't have anything to do with Franny's disappearance, she would never!! She loved her sister to death and wouldn't hurt a fly. "Kill her before she kills you." That voice.. it was back. She looked around the room and didn't see anyone. "I'm crazy." She shook her head and climbed back into bed. "Oh but Alison you're not crazy. You have friends. We've always been with you. They only made you think that you're were insane to control you. Be free Alison." It said again. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Dr. Moses said that it was all in her mind. So it must be. She just needed to refill her medicine and the voices would stop just like before. "But this isn't before, and if you think some silly little medicine is gonna stop us now you have another thing coming." It said. Alison sat up and turned on the lamp on her nightstand. "What do you want? She asked looking around at her room. She felt silly to be talking to herself. The lamp went out leaving the room pitch black. "We want you to be for us, like that Jesus was to those who believe in Him. We want to feel the blood of others through you." "We?"
"Yes dear child..we." Alison got out of bed and walked over the light switch on her wall. When it didn't turn on, she tried to open the door. "Who are you ?" She asked. "We're your sisters and brothers." The door wouldn't open, it was like it was sealed shut. "Daddy!!! Help me!!" Alison banged on the door with her fists. "You were promised to our father. She is going to try to kill you. She won't be successful, we won't let her." It said. The room begin to get chilly, as if all the heat had been suddenly sucked out. "Daddy!!!!!!" Alison begin to panic. Her episodes had never been this bad. "You won't escape us." "We are everything in one" "we're with you when you don't think we are." "We are hell within you." "Kill her! Kill them all" the voices were ganging up on her. Leaving her no room to even think for herself. The lights flashed on and off, the windows opened and closed. The door suddenly flung open and David found a distraught Alison curled up in a ball on the floor. "Make them stop." She whispered holding on to her head. "It's okay Ali." He picked her up off the wool carpet and cradled her in his arms. It had started and the worst was yet to come.
