8 Chapters

Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes again, there were no hellish scenes from books.Instead, I found my mom hovering over the hospital bed, caring for my sister, Ashley Pedersen, who'd just woken up. "Sweetheart, how are you feeling? Any better?"For the first time, her usually stone-cold face showed real emotion. The tenderness in her eyes was something I'd chased my whole life but never caught.Ashley shifted weakly into Linda Pedersen's arms, coughing a little. "Much better. Where is Evelyn? Is she alright? She has never liked me, but I don't understand why she attacked me. Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry."She hung her head, her long lashes fluttering as tears started to fall.The moment my name came up, Linda's expression soured. "It's not your fault. That selfish liar just spins tales for drama. Robbery? Ha! Bet it was all a stunt she pulled."Her eyes brimmed with undisguised disgust. Even in death, the sting hit like a fresh wound, nearly buckling my spectral form.It was tragic t

That kick landed with full force, making me spit up blood. I fell to the pavement, blackness claiming me.Still, Linda deemed it an act, pointing at me with furious disdain. "Fake away as you like! Rot here until you reflect. Don't come home until you're ready to apologize."With a frigid spin, she left alongside the others, abandoning me in the icy passage where resentment and torment sealed my eyelids forever.Ashley's injuries were minor scratches at best, hardly warranting hospitalization. But Linda, ever paranoid about complications, insisted on keeping her admitted.I flashed back to when I'd ventured out after dark to deliver an umbrella to Linda on her overtime shift, only to be hit by a car.Three fractured ribs had left me bedridden and fading. My situation had needed her care badly, but she had just sneered, "Such theatrics. You're breathing, aren't you? No bandwidth here. Ashley is waiting for her breakfast."Those six months had been pure hell. She'd confined me to m

Little did I know that marked the beginning of my personal hell.At age two, Ashley nagged me to play in the park, then grabbed a stone to crack another child's skull.When the child's parents stormed over for answers, she blinked innocently, pointed at me, and started bawling. "Evelyn did it! I begged her to stop, but she turned on me, too!"Childish and clueless on rebuttals, I mumbled repeatedly, "It wasn't me. I didn't..."The disappointment in our parents' eyes haunted me relentlessly, replaying in my mind on every sleepless night.From that day on, Ashley seemed to discover a twisted new game. Whenever she caused trouble, she'd pin the blame on me without fail.Our parents grew increasingly impatient with my explanations, dismissing them as lies. The final straw came when she stole a neighbor's wallet, leading to another confrontation at our door."I swear I didn't do it. It was all Ashley!" I implored. "Why wouldn't you believe me?"Clinging to that faint thread of famil

If low-level officers could be bribed to lie for me, what about the esteemed chief? Why would he cover for me?Plus, the stamp on the file couldn't be faked.Until that moment, Linda, who had been self-conceited her whole life, saw the truth: the daughter she despised was really gone.The morgue was kept frigid to preserve bodies. The chill nipped at even the most bundled-up staff members, causing them to shiver involuntarily.Yet Linda marched forward like a marionette, oblivious to the cold, her gaze fixed ahead despite the goosebumps rippling her skin. She craved the truth above all."It can't be," she murmured, her voice shaking. "She's too cunning to die like this. You're all lying. Is this her latest revenge plot? If she comes out now, I'll forgive everything she's done."Her eyes glued to the doors, she yearned for me to burst through one of them with a grin and tell her it was just a prank.Only silence met her pleas, thick with the weight of finality. Death's shadow cre

"I didn't mean to hurt her! What's the point of living? I should just end it!" Ashley said, making a big show, but the blade never actually dropped.I knew it was all an act. She'd never harm herself, but it worked like a charm.Linda freaked out, lunging to grab the knife. "What are you doing? We can talk this out. Evelyn's gone, and you're my only child now. If you die, what about me? I was just asking. Why go to extremes?"Though Ashley kept protesting, she handed over the knife obediently. The whole farce made me laugh bitterly.How had such lame tricks controlled both Linda and me for years? I guessed we couldn't see clearly when we were in the thick of it.Linda collapsed onto the sofa, gasping for breath as she stared at Ashley. Her lips parted repeatedly, but harsh words wouldn't come.Shutting her eyes, she sighed deeply, "What's done is done. From now on, it's just us stuck to each other, honoring Evelyn's memory. She is gone, but life goes on. I'm sure she'd understand

Chapter 6

After my death, Linda had only one daughter left.Feeling secure, Ashley dropped the mask, spewing filth and snapping at Linda constantly.Linda's life had become miserable. Jolted by the yell, she shrank back. "I didn't mean it like that. I'm just worried that all that screen time is bad for you. I work hard so you can spend it. Control your temper a little bit."Ashley shut down her computer. "This is how I am! Evelyn had a better temper, but you drove her to death. Go dig her up and yell at her. Leave me alone!"Her words were like a slap in the face. Linda collapsed, her gaze drifting to the family photo in the living room.I stood in the corner, grinning bitterly. Back then, I had been naïve enough to believe that the photo would make her accept me again, but it had been all a delusion.As Ashley slammed her door, Linda's last bit of strength drained away. She sat on the floor, muttering, "I drove Evelyn to her death. I'm a failure as a mother. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."I m

The officers hauled the pair to the station, where Linda sat in stony silence, her head bowed low.Ashley thrashed and spewed curses. "Why arrest me? What crime did I commit?"An officer played a video, and she quieted down.In the dim alley, I sighed, "I can die, but Mom's innocent. After I'm gone, treat her well. Don't break her heart."Ashley glanced casually at the night sky. "Are you stupid? That old hag treated you like crap, and you're still defending her? Good thing you're this dumb, or my plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."Linda lifted her head slowly from across the interrogation table, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Ashley? What did you mean by that?"She had overlooked Ashley's crimes, clinging to the belief that her favorite daughter was good at heart. But now, with the truth laid bare, she could no longer deceive herself.Ashley clammed up, but the video continued mercilessly.A gust of cold wind tousled my hair. The deranged figure before me blurred with the l

"And she is your daughter," Ashley retorted. "You left her bleeding out in that alley. Talking about ruthlessness, I can't hold a candle to you. You loved watching me bully her, didn't you?"She was Linda's golden child, knowing exactly where to stab. Her words struck true, though. Without her enabling, Ashley never would've dared torment me so openly. I was merely their shared scapegoat.Her darkest secrets exposed, Linda had no retort, only a quivering shake of her graying head. "No, I loved her. I just didn't want her to outshine me. She could be smart, but not smarter than me. I'm her mother, and I decided on her worth."She repeated it like a mantra, consoling herself. Parents jealous of their kids? I'd never believed it until that moment.It was pathetic and twisted. But this was the woman who had birthed me.Rain poured outside in a torrent, and her face contorted in anguish. "I never held back with you. You had it way better than her. Wasn't that enough? Why did you kill h
