Alone in her cold, lonely room, a brown haired girl with one arm wrapped up in a cast stood on a chair.
Above her head there was a metal hook fastened in the ceiling.
A shiny, braided cord of steel was knotted to the hook; the other end was in the girl's only good hand.
Tears were flowing down her cheeks, into her shirt, wet and glistening.
She coughed as she tightened the metallic rope around her neck; the myriad fibers burnt a path under her jaw.
Her whole body shook, her eyes clenched tightly shut.
Through the window, the world stood still.
There was no gentle sunlight which broke through the darkening, teary sky.
There was no laughter nor the sing-songs of birds.
There was only Lynn… her sports career ruined, her emotions in turmoil, her heart dying, and a noose around her neck.
With a ragged breath and choked sob she blinked her wet eyes open and stared in regret at her sister's gothic bed.
We'll never again be able to sleep in each other's arms…
We'll never again be able to soothe each other after a nightmare…
We'll never share our first kiss…
We'll never grow old together…
Lynn shut her eyes again, her lips trembling and her cheeks shaking from the fury of her tears.
I love you, Lucy. I hope you know that. I hope you'll never forget me… e-even when you… you m-move on and find someone else… s-some-someone better than me!
She ran her hand along the cord one more time, patting it against her slender throat.
It felt so unnatural, so dangerous, being around her weakest point, wrapped around her, coiling around her like a snake.
Just one tug, that's all it'd take to do the job.
Just one step off the chair and Lucy, Lily, and everyone else would be safe.
Lynn drew in a shallow breath, almost feeling her asphyxiation coming on before she'd even acted.
In her mind's eye, she saw an older Lucy in a silky back gown standing beside an altar. In her hand was a bouquet of thirteen black roses. On her lips was a faint, smooth smile. Her bangs were parted, revealing the most beautiful blue eyes Lynn had ever seen.
She smiled warmly, coughing as tears wracked her body like a plague.
Lynn walked slowly up the altar, her brown eyes focused solely on her sister's blues. With each passing step, she knew this is what she wanted; the person she wanted to tie herself to forevermore.
She focused on her daydream, her body slowly relaxing itself.
They stood before each other, holding each other's hands between their bodies as an old cassette player warbled out a tune that filled the whole sanctuary with melody.
The toes on one foot slipped to the edge of the chair; her cheeks flushing beautifully.
Lynn joined the chorus, her voice broken and teary with emotion, as she clutched her beautiful wife to her breasts.
Her other foot slipped beside it… ten toes hanging limply over the edge…
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you…"
Only her heels remained on the wooden chair…
Lynn's pink lips found the dark-glossed ones of her soulmate, her head tilting to the side, and they claimed each other's souls in an eternal dream.
"Please don't take my sunshine away."
Two little feet swung limply in the still air…
Dinner at the Loud table that evening was normal for all intents and purposes. The feast was spread, the siblings were obediently gathered, and the parents were cluelessly talking about nonsense and catching up after a long day.
Yet, Lucy couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong…
Lynn isn't here.
She looked across the many faces and found two more missing.
Where are Lola and Lana?
She wasn't the only one to notice how strange things were turning.
As mom chatted up her prodigal daughter on her visit from college, Luna took the opportunity to steal a glance at her mortal enemy, Leni.
Only to squint her eyes in confusion.
What's wrong with Leni?
In her seat, her thighs clenched tightly together; her hands moving mechanically to cut up her food and bring it to her mouth; her throat bobbing with each swallow, moving tightly against a black choker locked in place like a cage. Leni stared straight ahead, her eyes not moving left, right, down, or up.
She kept herself from shivering from sheer force of will alone, even as her older sister had a hand up her skirt and raked bloody nails along the slashed signature Lori had made in her thigh shortly after arriving.
Luan sat across the table from her mistress in evil with darkened eyes. She hadn't seen Lynn all day, so she'd felt certain that one of her traps, any of them at all, had succeeded. She casually checked off public enemy no. 1 in her mind's eye, imagining a red 'X' being pasted across Lynn's stupid face, little 'x's covering her eyes as a gangly tongue hung out of her mouth. She smirked evilly as she stared at her dear older sister, Leni. Now, to kill the queen and save my precious Luna… Her half-lidded eyes turned toward her one and only brother.
Feeling isolated in his own little world of thoughts, Lincoln paid no mind to his food nor his family. His brows furrowed, his hands wringing in his lap… he couldn't understand why Leni would do that to him. He stole a quick peek at her, seeing her chew on a green bean with a blank stare. Why, Leni? His back shivered as he closed his eyes, blocking off the world.
He couldn't handle the implications.
It's just not possible.
It's disgusting.
It… it couldn't be true…
Meanwhile, Lori was leaning toward her parents, perfectly happy to hog up all of their attention for herself.
If only mom could talk about anything that wasn't those stupid twins… Like, seriously, mom. You have one perfect daughter literally right in front of your face, why do you care about those brats!?
Mom's eyes were crinkled in worry.
"I'm worried, Lynn. I gave them Tylenol but they're not doing any better. Lana now has this funny yellow spot on her arm. I think it's a bruise, but I can't figure out how she got it. They've been in bed all day. They couldn't even eat lunch."
Dad patted his wife's arm comfortingly.
"Don't worry. We'll take them to Urgent Care tonight if they don't improve."
Her frown deepened.
"I'm wondering if we shouldn't take them now."
Lori rolled her eyes before turning toward Leni.
She stared at her for several long seconds, imagining her without that stupid green-blue-sea-whatever dress. And she'd be able to sit back and really enjoy herself, carving tokens of beauty into her sister's mutilated skin. I'm thinking snowflakes. Each one unique and pure and perfect… just like me~
And thus, things proceeded in an awkward, still air until one tiny sound carried its way down to the ears of Leni.
"Ahhh…"
A subtle grin crept onto her face the very second she heard it.
Finally, after all this time, they're ready~
Mom turned her head soon after.
"I think I heard them, Lynn. I'm gonna check on them."
Luna watched her go, feeling a twinge of anxiety in her stomach when she remembered what Lynn had told her just yesterday.
It can't be true… Luan would never help Leni do that… would she?
Unwilling to think on that question, she got up and followed her mom up the steps.
Unnoticed by all, Lucy was already gone.
Lana rolled onto her side and felt something inside her body shift painfully. She didn't feel right… Sure, she was in agony and each cough burnt the lining in her throat… but she'd been paying attention to her symptoms as best as she could.
And that was the tenth bruise that she'd found on her body… only she was positive it wasn't there a minute ago.
They'd sprouted up since early morning… randomly, in odd places…
And in one of her last deep coughs, which normally spat up yucky ick onto her mattress, she'd noticed that rather than the yellow color it normally was… it was pink… like her sister's dresses.
But she wasn't the main concern at the moment…
Lola hadn't made a peep or sound in ten minutes, and the silence was tearing away at Lana.
Her sister had coughed nonstop for the past hour, hacking and wheezing with every labored breath.
Until she just stopped…
And she looked worse than Lana… with black spots all around her neck and head… they kinda reminded Lana of blood blisters, but didn't someone need to be hurt to bleed like that?
She'd rolled over to take a look at her sister and felt a sigh of relief flooding in her pained body when she saw Lola's chest slowly rise and fall.
But that ended as soon as Lola's eyes suddenly flew open, her chest arching a foot into the air, her mouth open in a silent scream.
Lana looked on in horror as those dark spots increased, flooding areas of her cheeks and forehead with a deep, dark red. Blood dribbled from her open mouth, running faint streaks down her tiny neck and staining her pink gown.
Then, she fell limply to her bed, her head to one side and her hands resting along her sides.
Lana waited for the comforting sight of her sister's breathing chest, but it never returned.
Her eyes squinted as an itch developed behind them.
"L-Lola?"
She felt tears beading in the corner of her eyes as her sister remained motionless, ignoring her.
"S-sis?"
Lana tried to move from her bed, tried to get onto her feet, but a sharp pain in her lungs made her cough again. She saw beads of red fall onto her blanket and she squeaked out a pained gasp before she coughed again and again… each time staining her sheets a deep red.
In a minute, mom stepped into the room, followed by Luna.
And Mom gasped.
They both ran over to Lana, Luna clasping a hand over her mouth to keep herself from crying out.
Since when had blisters and bruises covered her sister from head to toe!?
Why was her sheets bloodied!?
Mom didn't fare any better as she gripped her daughter's trembling shoulders in her warm hands. Her worried eyes looked over her and then they shut as a tear fell down her cheek.
Luna's head shook when she saw her mom begin crying.
Something terrible was wrong, wasn't it?
She wrapped her arms around her stomach, trying to keep herself upright as hooks tried pulling her innards deep into the earth.
I should have been more watchful. I'm a fool.
Mom got up and walked over to her other daughter; Luna sitting down and rubbing a circle in Lana's back.
Lana's little blue eyes, so full of tears, red and puffy, looked up into Luna's worried brown eyes.
"Is my sister going to be ok?"
Luna opened her mouth to give her comfort-
But Mom sobbed loudly then.
"L-Lola, honey, wake up…"
Both girls turned to look; Luna's arms wrapping instinctually around her young sister.
Mom was hunched over the girl, rubbing her hands along tiny arms.
"P-please… you're scaring me…"
Mom's fingers laid beside Lola's throat and her heart suddenly froze.
"L-L-Lynn!" she yelled out shakily as she stood up, her face drained of color.
"What!?"
Luna's arms shook as she cradled Lana to her breast, her tears falling into the girl's blonde hair.
Lana squeaked out her worry, "Luna, what's wrong with Lola?"
Mom ran to the door, looking down the long expanse of steps to see her husband's worried face, his hands fisted at his side.
"We need an ambulance…"
His eyes shot open, turning around so fast he tripped on a long shoestring. He accidentally pushed a child out of the way as he hurried toward the phone.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Why's mom yelling?"
"What happened?"
His heart ached painfully, racing too fast, too hard, as he dialed three little numbers.
"9-1-1, please state the nature of your emergency."
"I-i-it's my daughters, they're sick… they need an ambulance-"
"-please come back to me, honey. Don't go…!"
Lana tried to push out of Luna's constricting arms.
"Take me instead, God; just not my baby. Please, not my precious baby... Please, don't leave me..."
She turned her blue eyes up toward Luna's wet face.
"Where is she going, Luna? …w-will she come b-back to me…?"
Luna could only hold her sister tighter to her chest, stroking her arms and back as she sobbed pitifully into the still air.
How could you do this Luan…?
Her soul croaked out an agonizing whimper as she hid her face in Lana's messy hair.
Why, my love… why?
Lana didn't understand what was happening… just that it was bad.
Mom wept, kneeling at Lola's bed, her head resting on her daughter's unmoving stomach.
Two men came in and pried mom off her sister, and put her on a little cot, and carried her away…
And Lana screamed in agony. Take me, too, please! Lola! Don't leave me!
A sudden sharp pain in her skull blinded her eyes and she fell limp into Luna's arms.
She could hear their worry.
She could feel the stick of a needle.
She could hear beeping.
And then she was in a field of green grass, running after her frilly, girly twin sister… with the biggest smiles on their faces, the brightest giggles coming out of their mouths, and pure affection shared mutually as they rolled down a hill, laughing the whole way to the very bottom.
She looked into her twin's perfect blue eyes and she grinned like she'd never done before.
And then she leant forward and laid her lips against her sister's.
I love you, Lola.
