"Ma'am, sorry to bother you this early in the morning but have you seen Louis Woods? Maybe his brother, Jeffery Woods? We know you were close with the Woods family and were wondering if you may have any information as to where either one maybe." The round officer spoke to me, his face turning pinker with each word. How he made the force is beyond me. Just like I thought, I knew they would be looking for Lui and would come to me knowing my connections to the family. Though I knew what I was about to do was a crime itself, but I knew I also could not not do it. No matter what he or his brother has done, they were my best friends and I'd do my damnedest to defend them. I did my best to remain calm and relaxed my facial expressions, "No sir, the last I saw Lui was when I rode with him to the ER, and to my knowledge he is still in the hospital recovering. And as far as Jeff goes... Your guess would be as good as mine."I untucked my hair from behind my ear, in an attempt to hide my still healing cheek, noticing the officer glancing at it. "Miss, what happened to your face?" He said, suspicion mounting in his voice. "Well sir, when I had learned of what happened to the Woods, I took off running for their home and whacked myself on a low tree limb. " I could tell he didn't like my little story but what was I to say? I cut myself in my sleep but it wasn't really me, it was an evil version of me. " Where's your mommy kid? You shouldn't be home alone at this hour. Especially with that psychopath on the loose." I sighed, growing increasingly frustrated by this tub of lard,  as I started to explain my parents' absences but was cut off by a surprising sight; my father, or a more worn down version of my father, carrying my giggling mother inside through the back door. The cops and I were equally confused as my dad sat her on the couch and shooed me away to talk to the officers. I walked back to my room as my thoughts ran wild. What the hell? He shows up out of the blue after almost a year and suddenly mother dearest is his sweet little wife?  What the fuck? That two timing slutty ass cock sucking bitch of a whore is planning something, but who cares right??!!! I got inside my room and slammed the door, flopping down on my bed. I lay there for a minute trying to collect my thoughts, then I remembered, Lui!!! "Lui, where are you?!" I whisper yelled, sitting straight up on my bed, hearing something crumbling beneath me. A carelessly folded piece of paper addressed to me.

(n/n),
Please don't come looking for me, I'm just going away for a little bit, maybe I can sneak into my house and get some of my clothes.  I'll come back eventually- Lui

I sighed as I walked back into my living room to see a strange sight; my mother in my father's arms. The more I stared at him the more I noticed something was off about him, but I brushed it off assuming it was due to me not seeing him for so long. I was just happy my father had returned from god knows where but he is so oblivious to his sluttish wife's promiscuity in his absences. I sighed as walked out into the front yard and stared up at the sky. "This has been one fucked up night," I said to myself out loud as a faint police siren sounded in the distance. I breathed in the cool night's air, letting the cool breeze wrap me in goosebumps. I closed my eyes for a moment, just trying to take in the night and step away from all the chaos surrounding me right now. It was so peaceful until I heard a distant rustling. I went back to my room to be welcomed by the sea of blankets sweeping over my bed. I crashed onto my bed and closed my eyes, hoping for sleep with peaceful dreams but I was given the complete opposite.
"So Mercy, you understand what I was trying to tell you?" I sat in the same emptiness as the same off version of me approached me through the nothingness. Her voice echoed throughout the black void. I ignored her question, "Well, (y/n) how'd you like Sully? Nice guy right?" she laughed at her own joke as she came into full view. I gave her a glare that would've sent a grown man running for the hills. "No, I don't and can't say I really care for him. I have a question for you, why the hell did you try to turn my face into a fucking jack-o-lantern? I hate to break it to you, it's not Halloween and my face isn't exactly a pumpkin." She walked over to me, silently stood behind me for a few seconds then forcefully spun my chair around to face her. All the while smiling like a giddy little four year old who finally won a prize out of the claw machine.

"(n/n), I was just getting you ready. After all, in about a year, could be less at this rate, your remaining world will be turned upside down and you'll be in the middle! It will be a lot like that funny and messy art you're into you know? Only more 3D" She walked around as she spoke. By the end, she walked in front of me and leaned down to my ear, whispering words that made me fear myself.  "You know, soon we'll be one and the same. Soon you won't be the only one in your room when you think you are alone." She laughed as walked away, swaying her hips in an all too confident way to be me. I sighed frustrated as the chair I was sitting on started to shake, and the ground beneath me started to split. I felt myself begin to fall into the sinkhole, being swallowed by its deep, dark abyss. I jolted up in bed and realized it was just a dream as I wiped away the droplets of sweat on my forehead. It was just a dream, she's not here and she can't get out of my head, she was wrong, I'm in my room alone...... I hope...  I sighed at my stupid paranoia, Lui would never hurt me and Jeff......., I rolled over in frustration, pulling the covers over my head, and attempted to go back to sleep but there was no way I could as I heard the sound of the floorboards creaking under the weighted steps of someone coming. I lay still, hoping that my stillness would cause the owner of the eery steps to leave me be but my hopes were dashed as I could hear their breathing next to my covered ear. 

In a whispered voice, a man spoke, "I'm not your father (y/n)"
