2 Prologue

Before the present time

February 2011

"That's not me," I said to my class president as she handed me her phone. "Oh, do you think I believe you? You are good at SFX makeup."

"Yes, I am good at SFX makeup but doesn't mean I would scare people out. When did you take that photo?" I asked as I gave her phone back.

"It was around 6 pm and I'm the last person in the classroom and was turning the lights off to head home. But as I turned the lights off, I saw a silhouette of a girl, sitting..." She said as she glanced at my chair that I'm sitting on. She took a deep breath and continued.

"She sat on your chair and I assumed it's you. I asked, what are you doing here? You should head home. She didn't reply, she didn't even move. What made me take a photo with a flash on was when I heard her voice..

"I have nowhere to go... Let my sister know that I'm waiting here..." My class president, Sam Brown said, trying to remember the details.

"I can feel the sadness emanating from her voice as if she needs some help but not until it was mixed with hate as she added...or else I'll take her with me."

"I took a photo and ran. As I'm on my way home, I remember how her voice made my hair stand up on the back of my neck. To shake the thought of this, I glanced at my gallery and see what I got from the picture that I took earlier in the classroom and it creeps me out even more. A girl with blood gushing out of its complete red eyes with a wide, creepy smile on its face. Look, I'm sorry for accusing you. I didn't sleep that night... I..." Sam's voice was trembling, fear washed over her face. I didn't let her finish her sentence, she was terrified. Hearing of what she witnessed, it terrified me enough.

"Do you have any sisters, Felicia?' Sam asked curiously as she shoved her phone back into her pocket. I shook my head as a response of a no, glancing down.

'Then, wh-" Her sentence was cut off when the bell rang. Sam looked around the room and looked at me.

"You should not terrify people again, Felicia" Sam quietly said.

"It is not me!" I said as she walked out of the room.

That's not me...

Felicia went out of her classroom and took fresh air. She watched at the students as they played on the school field. It was 4 pm and her mind is occupied with a lot of things. Whilst watching on the school field, she felt someone was watching her. She took a glance at the side of the field and there was...it, standing on the side of the field. The girl on the photo earlier was waving at her with a creepy smile on her face. Felicia couldn't move as she saw girl. She shut her eyes and hope it will be gone from her sight and opened her eyes and the girl was nowhere to be found.

It was 4:30 pm. Felicia decided to go to the classroom to get her bag to head home when she notice someone that makes her halt of her tracks. The brilliant red and orange sun was the only light source which made it appear as a silhouette of a person. She couldn't figure out who is the person, standing in the hallway. She noticed it was slowly moving to where she was standing. She squinted her eyes and after being hit with realization, Felicia's eyes widened and went to her classroom to take her bag.

"Sister... Why are you running?" the girl's voice was quiet, almost fragile.

She couldn't move. The girl was standing in front of the classroom, slowly walking towards Felicia.

"Please, go away! Please! I'm not your sister!" Felicia was scared, closed her eyes, and screamed.

"Sister... "

'Felicia!"

Felicia opened her eyes when her classmate, Abegail, called her out. "What's wrong? You screamed like a kid! So annoying, tch!"

"But she was there..." Felicia said as she points out what's in front of the classroom. "Who? No one was there, Felicia. I'll be taking my bag", Abegail said and took her bag.

"You watched too much horror. You should head home", Abegail remarked and left Felicia. Felicia stared of what's in front of the classroom, the girl was gone.

"Mom..."

"Yes, honey?"

"Do I have a sister?"

A sudden silence filled in the dining room. Felicia's mother slowly finished chewing the food, obviously startled by the question and said. "Why did you come to ask that, honey?"

"Mom, there was a girl with its complete red eyes gushing out of blood and a wide creepy smile on her face. She appears out of nowhere in my school and my class president even accused me that I'm that girl. She seems following me. She even said...I'm her sister. " Felicia said as she munched her food. Felicia's mother and father looked at each other and their faces... change. Changed into something different. Something she didn't expect.

"So, you already know, Felicia.?" Felicia's mother stroked Felicia's hair as she took a knife on the side of her plate. "How you've grown, dear Felicia"

Shadow in the frame of view, Felicia couldn't talk, her eyes widen in fear. She saw her mother and father consumed by an unknown shadow and transformed into a skinny monster with shrunken irises and its mouth with teeth that are sharp enough to slice a person. Evidence of not eating a young person for nearly 18 years.

"Come, my dear Felicia. We are hungry... we need you." Their voices are dark and deep.

Felicia screamed and ran out of the dining room and went upstairs, locked her room, and hide under the bed. She could hear the footsteps downstairs. She closed her eyes when she felt cold hands, holding her. She slowly turned her eyes on the side. She couldn't speak, it was the girl. "Sister. don't be afraid.... "

'Where am I?" Felicia asked herself. She found herself in a foggy, chilling forest. She glanced around and saw that girl. No blood gushing out of its complete red eyes with a creepy smile that could be seen. She is quite gentle with the smile she beamed at Felicia.

"Sister..." She walked to Felicia and hold her hand. Her hands were not cold, it was warm.

"Sister, I want to show you something." She said, looking at the log cabin. Two people were seen, it was her mother and father.

"Please... don't take Cathlia away, please.... no" Felicia saw her mother, protecting the baby that she's carrying and was begging to a person. A person that is standing on the door.

'Why is Mother begging to someone?" asked Felicia, looking at her mother. Her sister, Cathlia, looked at Felicia.

"Mother and Father are drowned in debt. They couldn't pay their debts and that's why they put you to the orphanage but then, I was born and now, in exchange. They want.... me" said Cathlia with sadness in her voice.

"Mother and Father don't want me to exchange just because of  debt." Felicia looked at her Mother and Father, crying and begging.

Felicia saw that the person who was standing on the door was being consumed by an unknown shadow. Its mouth is wide as a pick-up truck and her eyes widen when she witnessed that her Mother and Father were being eaten. The infant was crying on the ground, probably her sister, Cathlia.

As the person finished eating her mother and father, the person took Cathlia in its arms and turned itself like Felicia's mother. Felicia blinked of what she just saw and looked at Cathlia, confused.

"Did you see that..? Why did... Why did she turn into like our mother..and." Felicia looked at her sister, confused.

"And why... why you have complete red eyes gushing out of blood.?" Felicia continued.

Cathlia smiled bitterly at her sister and said, " She always told me not to go outside the log cabin. While I was roaming around the cabin, I read an old newspaper that is been stumped by books. It's about a woman that could transfer into someone she eats and could appear younger. She caught me reading and quickly took it away from my hand. She was angry and told me not to touch anyone's stuff, I brushed it off. One day, I went out since she told me she will be away for days. I just want to go out since I've never been out of the log cabin. I was around ten that time when I knew she is not our mother. I saw her, eating a fresh flesh in the woods. She hungrily eats its flesh and while she eats it I could see how she turned herself younger. I was frightened. I cried when I saw that. She saw me and dragged me into the log cabin..."

"Why are you sad, honey? Smile. I said SMILE", she said that as she sliced my mouth into a wider smile." Cathlia started to cry as she remembered how the knife painfully hurts.

"I told you not to go out in the woods but you disobey me," She said that as she pours acid in my eyes." Cathlia's voice wobbles as she continues.

"I screamed out of pain. I apologize but as if she didn't hear me, she dragged me again, and she said." I'll find your sister... She is the next victim" and throws me into the cliff. I realized that if only I didn't know about her, if I only didn't disobey her. I could live." Felicia looked at her sister and couldn't imagine how her sister went through.

"I couldn't remember many details but I remember when I read that newspaper, it said that she will wait once you turn 18 and if you know soon enough that she will eat you for her own benefit, she will not hesitate to kill you. She knew that I have a sister since little did our mother and my father know, that the owner of the orphanage is a friend of this imposter mother. They raise you and has a plan to kill you once you know about them." Cathlia said, worried. Felicia felt bad about assuming that her sister was a threat to her. She pulled her sister for a hug, hiding her tears.

"I'm sorry I frightened you, sister. I just want to protect you..." Hearing those words, Felicia continues to cry silently and Cathlia's voice soon faded.

Felicia opened her eyes when she heard sirens and saw blue and red flashes. Police and barricade tapes were being taped around the house. And she saw the corpse of her imposter mother and father in a black body bag, they were dead. She was outside of the house.

"It's a parenticide. The girl named Felicia killed her mother and father." Felicia overheard the investigators and police discussing what happened or what causes of the incident.

'I am alive!' She called out once of the police, but no one can hear her. She saw her body. Her shirt was drenched in blood, eyes completely black. A gun on her hand. She was dead. She killed herself after she killed her imposter parents.

I avenge you, mother and father at least she thought.

While she watched the investigators and police examining around the house, she saw a shadow. That unknown shadow that consumed her imposter mother and father. Is she seeing things? Was it done? Or... Is it just the beginning?
