I stare at Julie with my arms crossed over my chest as she screams as loud as she can, threatening to not stop until her lungs give out on her.
This could be a while. We've got really great regeneration rates... like a video game on steroids.
"Please stop screaming. I hate seeing you like this." I beg, stepping closer to my sister.
She stands against the wall, arms pinned above her head to keep her from being able to break free. It is sickening to see her being treated like an animal but she gave us no choice.
"You hate seeing me like this?" She scoffs, momentarily pausing her cries for help. "You're the bitch who locked me up!"
"This was James' idea and you know it. But I won't like to you, I agree with him." I remind her who the bad guy is here.
"You has just a much fun locking me up down here as he did. Left face it Jack, you love being everyone's favorite twin and now it is your time to shine." She barks at me, pulling her head away from the wall before smashing it back against the concrete.
"Favorite twin? What the hell Julie?" I ask. If I had any idea what she was talking about, this conversation would be a lot easier. She is talking madness right now.
"You've always been their favorite! That's why you all locked me down here! To get rid of me!" Julie argues, truly believing their is some sinister reason behind her imprisonment other than her complete madness.
"If they wanted to get rid of you Julie, they wouldn't have saved you when you needed it. They could have left you to die and taken me with them!" I try to get her to realize just how crazy her idea is.
She shakes her head, not believing a word I am speaking. "They only saved me because they knew you would be upset if I died. Things have obviously changed between us." She spits.
"We were three Julie. I wouldn't have known the difference." I sigh as she looks away from me, choosing the state at the dusty floor rather than look at my face. I wish I could fix her.
I want to unlock the chains that bind her to the wall and set her free. But I know that if I do this favor for her, more innocent people will die. I just can't live with that on my conscious.
"Jul, the only thing that has changed is you are now attacking my friend and killing innocent people. I still love you." My tone changes. I want to be forgiving of her but she needs to show me that she is serious about getting better.
She needs help.
"Your friend?" Her head shoots up, her eyes glaring into mine. "Roslyn is my friend too!"
"Tell that to the bite wound in her neck that you left there. You tried to kill her Jul. Friends don't try to kill friends." I remind her.
I sigh. I can't seem to get through to her. I thought I could help her so that we wouldn't have to use drastic measures to cure her. None of us want to do it, but now it may be our only option.
"Listen. You killed that kid. He's dead. And not like, oh he's a vampire now dead. Like, dead-dead. Seriously dead. His parents don't have a kid anymore. They are burying his body today. You did that. That's why you are down here. Not because I'm the favorite twin or because mom and dad hate you. It's because you are now using your abilities for evil. I can forgive you for anything else you have ever done. But this? This is the one thing i can't forgive. And you don't seem to be sorry at all. Which is even worse."
Author's note: what are your thoughts? Do you think Julie has totally gone mad or is she just struggling to find herself after her death?
