My Demon Sister

Chapter 1: Twenty Years Later

Allyse! Where are your black flats? I need them for my date tonight!" Karli called from the top of the stairs.

I rolled my eyes as I trudged up the stairs to where my older sister was. She was frantically tearing apart my room, clothes spattered the ground and she was taking shoes out and throwing them over her head out of my closet. I sighed and went into her room and pulled them out from under her bed. I walked into my room and dangled them from my hands. She looked up and squealed, making a mad dash for the footwear, which I held just out of reach. God i love being tall.

"First, the room," I said motioning to the mess she created. She glanced back and snickered, "Yeah right." She jumped on me, grabbed the shoes, and ruffled my hair. "Nice try, boo." She rolled her eyes, sashayed out and closed her bedroom door. Moments later, crappy sounding music blasted from behind it, followed by horrendous singing.

Downstairs, the door slammed and moments later, my younger brother Jack screamed with happiness. "Daddy!!!!!!!!!" A thump on the floor followed my brother squealing with joy. I strolled downstairs to find my dad hunched over, Jack climbing him like a jungle gym, and a large plastic bag with what looked like gifts lay discarded. I jumped down the last two remaining steps onto the floor and met my dad with a giant bear hug. My mom appeared from the kitchen and peeled Jack off my dad's back. He kissed her gently on the lips and Jack made a face. "Ewwww cooties." My mom glanced at Jack who was now clingin to my dad's legs and leaned down and gave him a sloppy kiss on the forehead. The five year old shrieked and ran to the bathroom to wipe off the cootified kiss, the three of us laughing, tears streaming down our faces.

"I have gifts for all of you," my dad told me as he reached down to the discarded bag. Karli appeared at the top of the stairs with her long brown hair teased into a high ponytail. She had heavy black makeup that made her eyes look icy blue, her curvy figure was accentuated with a blue halter top and tight black leather pants. My black flats completed the look nicely, I had to admit. I squinted my eyes as I realized she had some of my necklaces and rings on her as well.

"Karli where are you going?" My mom said giving my sister the once over. My sister rolled her eyes, and instead smiled at my dad and gave him a giant hug. "Dad, welcome back! We will have to catch up later, I have a date in two hours with Brian." My sister shot my dad a dazzling I-always-get-my-way smile. My dad chuckled, kissed my sister on the forehead and told everyone, including Jack who had successfully rubbed the kiss off, "Actually we are all staying in tonight. I have been away for three months in France, and I want to relax and spend a nice evening with my family." Karli's mouth shot open, but my dad best her to speaking, "Karls, Brian and you have been dating for two and a half years. He will understand. Besides, I highly doubt a club is more important than you dear darling dad." He raised his eyebrow at Karli. She clamped her mouth shut and stormed up the stairs, cellphone already dialing Brian the brainless as my brother so lovingly calls him.

My dad chuckled again and brought out a toy for my brother. It was some sort of action figure with lots of gadgets and lots of muscles. Next, my mother got a beautiful paint and paint brush set. The brushes were intricately carved wood and the pallet was full of beautiful colors my mother would definitely use in her pieces for her next art show. Karli stomped down the steps and my dad handed her a package. When she opened it up she lit up and held up a stunning light pink one shouldered dress that hit about knee length and was scarely jeweled and rouched in the top. It was beautiful and would look stunning on Karli.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you," Dad said to me. "Dad, you didn't have to..." I started, but he handed me a small flat box. I opened it to find a DVD case with the title Bloody Anna. My face lit up, being the horror and gory movie freak I am, this was the best gift I could have recieved.

"It hasn't been released in the US yet, one of my buddy's kids were in the movie, and they got personal copies. Well, my buddy was able to pull strings and get you a copy. Hopefully it's good, they haven't watched it yet." I threw my arms around my dad. "Can we watch it? Please, please puh-leaaaaase!" I was practically jumping up and down I was so excited. I had to tell my best friend Seth. He was a horror movie junkie just like me, and he would be soooo jealous.

"I don't think Jack should watch this, Michael." My mom said to my dad looking uncomfortable. I opened my mouth to talk, but Jack beat me to it. "Mooom! I watched The Ring with Ally last week, and I only had nightmares for three days!" I facepalmed my forehead. He wasn't helping my case.

My dad swooped Jack up onto his shoulders, and laughed. "Sandy, it'll be fine lighten up." My mom still looked worried, although she let me and Jack watch The Ring herself.

Minutes later, we all were all piled on the couch, popcorn bags and sodas in hand, even Karli who had protested that a twenty one year old was too old for a silly horror movie before giving up and sitting on the end, texting Brian.

The screen was black and the movie started with a sentence, dripping red with blood:

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
