I woke up one night from my slumber. I was so thirsty so I went to kitchen to drink some water. I am not scared anymore because they didn't haunt me for almost a month now. The first floor was really dark because I turned off all the lights before I went to my room. I can't see anything and I forgot to bring my phone nor a flashlight, so I struggle to find the switch. I didn't notice that something was in front of me and I bumped into it. I passed out and I don't know where I am.
When I regained conciousness, it was still dark. Suddenly, I heard someone laughing and I also heard footsteps. It was getting closer to me, and then it stops. I was about to get up from where I was laying, when someone or something grabbed my feet and drag me somewhere. I screamed so hard I almost lost my voice.
It suddenly stopped dragging me and the lights switched on. I look around to see where I am. I was confused because I haven't seen this before.
"Where am I?", I shouted, but it was barely a shout. My throat hurts so much and I think later I won't be able to speak again.
"You are in your own basement", someone responded. It laughed, and I kind of think that voice was familiar.
"Show yourself", I said. It was almost a whisper, but they heard what I said. They came out from the dark corner and showed their faces.
"The twins? I thought you all disappeared?", I asked. They laughed at me and then eventually stopped.
"We didn't. They won't leave until they got their revenge", Jean said. She walks slowly towards me. As she walks closer and I also took steps back. "You want to know how we died?", she continued speaking. My eyes widened as I was following her every step.
"Here, let us show you how we died", she said and then hold on my right hand while someone suddenly holds my left hand. I look at my left side and I saw Jane looking at me. In a blink of an eye, the location suddenly changed. We found our selves in a middle of the street. I saw twins walking and they were with their parents. They are licking an ice cream, but unlike other kids, they are not happy. I haven't seen kids who are still not happy right after they got an ice cream. The twins were holding hands as they walk, and their parents are behind them talking to each other. I feel like I know who their parents are, but I can't remember where I saw them.
The scenario changed again just like how a tv changed channel. And now we are again in the basement but some things are different, they are not like what I saw lately. It looked like a torture room. There are also things that are for medical purposed or tools for surgery that are hanging on the walls.
"Stop, I don't want to do it anymore", a short-haired girl yelled as she was dragged by her father towards the table. She was crying and begged her father to stop.
"Don't be stubborn, just look at Jane, she didn't said a word and she do what she asked her to do. Be like her", her father said. The little girl keep resisting but her father was just too strong for her to handle.
"Jane doesn't talk much, how could you expect her to say a word", Jean yelled and still pulling her arms off from her father's hands. But her father had a very good grip on her and she got tired of resisting so she just stopped. Her mother was on the other table smiling as she looks at her husband and her daughter.
The father tied her daughter on the table, the little girl couldn't do anything but cry. Her twin comforted her by holding her hand. And minutes later, screams were heard and screams surrounded the room. I can't see what they are doing because it suddenly became so bright and I can't help but close my eyes. When I opened my eyes, we are not in the basement anymore. I look around and I found myself in the riverside where there are people who are talking and whispering and they are all looking on the same thing, a plastic bag. And then, a police came. I look around to see what they are looking at, and there I saw the body of the twins in a plastic bag. They died and was thrown to the river and was seen by people nearby.
I think someone called an ambulance because I hear an ambulance siren beame louder and louder. They took the bodies away, and the police investigate the scene. They can't find any evidence and the twins' parents, so they eventually stopped investigating later on and chosed to close the case. But that's what I thought. The truth is, they found the parents but the police got bribed by the parents with lots of money just to shut their mouths.
Years passed and the twins were forgotten. The twins' mother got pregnant and later on gave birth to a girl. And it's weird because their daughter looks like me. And then that's when I snapped. That's why they looked familiar because they were also my parents. And in a blink of an eye, we are again in the basement.
"You see, we were killed by those psychopaths. They used our bodies for their experiments. It really hurts, you know. You're lucky you didn't experienced those things, sister", Jean said. She let go of my hand and walks away. Jane did the same and followed Jean. "You are not what we need. They're dead aren't they?", she asked. I turned around and look at them.
"Yeah. They died 13 years ago", I replied calmly.
"We are here to scare you to death, but we realized that you didn't do anyhing wrong, so we will stop. We showed you all of that because I think you needed to know you have sisters", she said but she wasn't facing me. I don't know why but I cried, maybe it's because I feel sorry for them, and for what happened to them. "Farewell, Pauline", Jean said. And just like that they disappeared like a bubble in a thin air.
I was overwhelmed about what I just found out. My parents expiremented my sisters brutally, so brutal that they died because of it. They never got the justice they deserve and they even got forgotten. My heart feels so heavy. I feel their pain as if they were mine. The hatred they felt now is understandable. They were tortured to death, they spent their lives like they were in hell.
"Did aunt Cherry knew about these?", i asked myself. I didn't waste any more time and I went upstairs. I look for the house keys and took my wallet with me. I grab a cab and went directly to my aunt's house. I knock many times, I knock so aggressively and my hands became painful the more I knock.
"Pauline, why are you here?", she asked. I did not respond yet and went inside first. I put my belongings on the couch before I spoke.
"I just want to ask if you knew about my sisters", I said. She looked surprised about what I said.
"How did you know you have sisters?", She asked. I didn't answer her question but instead, I dodge it.
"So you do know about them?", I asked. She lowered her head and she can't look directly at my eyes.
"I just thought you're not interested so I never told you", she said. She was playing with her hands and she looks like she's shaking.
"I deserve to know, auntie. They are my sisters, they are not strangers. They are family, how could you?!", I yelled at her. I grab all my belongings and walk towards the door.
"I'm so sorry, Pauline. Please forgive me", she begged as she was chasing me.
"You are just like them. You all are evil. You and your brother deserve to die and go to hell", I shouted again. I admit I went too far and being angry wasn't an excuse. But I can't control myself when I'm angry. My aunt's eyes teared up after I said those words to her. She went closer to me and slapped me.
I was schocked and I felt the pain in my face. My tears flows down on my face. I turned around and opened the door, and left. I hurt her, but I am not just the one who is at fault here. The both of us are at fault here, and we deserve all of that. I don't think she'll forgive me that easily and I can't fogive her right away either.
My situation is making me feel so alone. I want to share all of my problem to someone but I don't have anyone right now. My best friend's dead and I literally don't have any friends and me and my aunt got into an argument. I have no choice but to keep it all to myself, maybe just for now.
