Geminate Shadow

"Hello?" I called out. We walked to the kitchen, where we heard raspy (and I mean raspy) breaths. Before I could process anything, Cassie screamed and dropped to the floor with her hands on her eyes. I looked around to see what was the matter, when I saw it. Well I saw him.

There was Abraham. He was lying there, eyes wide, chest barely moving. He was shaking, hard. But, that's not why Cass screamed bloody murder. There was a Knife launched into his chest. A huge gash ripped through the skin on his forehead. Blood was, well, everywhere. I tried to scream but my vocal cords couldn't muster a sound.

"Cassie, call 911," I forced out.

"Wha-" she muttered, pulling her head up from the pool of tears.

"I said call 911!" She sat there, and stared at me. "OH MY GOD CASSIE! CALL 911!!" I screamed at her. Nodding, my sister pulled out her phone and, with shaking hands, dialed. Before she could press the green call button, Abe gasped loudly.

"Girls," he croaked, and grabbed my hand, "Find the book."

"Wha- what book?" I asked. My shivers had even affected my vocal cords.

"In the attic. Find it. Be-be-before..."

"Before what?" my sister asked, her tremor far worse than mine.

"Her!" his eyes widened, and his grip on me tightened. A mysterious bang was heard from the other room.
