Anna woke up with a gasp and looked around. Her breath was erratic and uneven. Her chest heaved up and down as she took in her surroundings.

Grey room.
Not much light.
Barren.
Dust.

Anna blinked a few times and realized she was in her house's basement. That's when she realized a ribbon was tightly around her mouth, not allowing her to speak.

She made several muffled attempts to get attention, but she couldn't. What made her panic even more was the fact she was tied to a chair.

The rope dug into her wrists, and it hurt like hell. There were more than likely marks, or not. It all depended on how long she was here, in the cold, dark basement.

"So, you finally wake up~" cooed an all to familiar voice.

"Rwobwie??!!" Anna's answer to the voice can out muffled due to the ribbon around her mouth, but her crystal blue eyes showed her shock.

A male with brown hair and green eyes walked out, and Anna felt her blood run cold. Not because it was how he walked, but how he looked. He looked so... Casual.

His normal blue jeans, white sneakers, black hoodie, black fingerless gloves.

'How can he be casual in a time like this?!' Anna thought in a panic.

"I guess you're wondering why you're in our basement." Robbie spoke smoothly, walking over to a chest. Anna watched him in terror.

"You see, An'.." This made Anna's heart race in fear. He never used her nickname. "I'm quite the sinner if you haven't realized."

Anna blinked, shocked. 'Sinner..?'

Robbie chuckled lowly and opened the chest, slowly pulling out a knife. "You remember Catherine? Catherine Burns? The big sister of your boyfriend?"

Annie stared at him in confusion, her face obviously showing it.

"Remember how she died? Stab wounds and electricity?" Robbie turned around, holding the knife.

Annie's heart froze when she saw the knife, but her panic grew more when she was what was ON the knife.

Dried up blood.

"Well, you see, its confession time!~" Robbie gleefully stated, running his index finger against the edge of the knife. "Hmmm, I'll go first~"

Annie already knew what his confession was, though. She didn't want to believe, but deep down in her heart, she knew it was true.

"I killed Catherine Burns!~" He grinned evilly, his speech way too happy. His grin widened more when he saw tears begin to form in Anna's eyes.

"You should have seen her. Her tears. The blood. Her begging for me to stop." Anna felt sick to her stomach as she was forced to listen. "I love it when she began to cough up blood. It meant she wasn't going to last much longer."

Anna held back her want to puke, as she knew it would only make this worse. 'Robbie... Why?'

"You should've been there to see it! Her stupid brown eyes faded to nothing~ Her useless blond hair covered in blood~ The whore deserved it~" Robbie chuckled menacingly as he took out electrical wire.

Anna felt a shiver run over her as she began to realize what was happening. "And you see, little banshee sister of mine.." Robbie smirked darkly as he walked over. "I think I'm going to do the same to you!~"

Annie shook her head, eyes pleading with him not to.

Robbie smirk only grew darker as he slapped his sister across the face and watched her tears fall. "Pathetic. No-one is going to miss you anyway. You're a freak of nature."

Anna felt her heart drop. She didn't want to believe he was right, but... She did.

"None of them care about you, Anna," Robbie stated as he watched her head slowly drop down. "They all think you're a freak, a weirdo, an idiot, a monster. They'll never care about you."

Anna's body shook as she tried to hold back tears, telling herself what he was saying wasn't true. But her mind believed it was.

"Like yesterday, when they found out you were a banshee. When you ran away, they were glad. They didn't have to deal with a freak like you anymore. A monster," Robbie continued, placing a hand under Anna's chin.

He gently forced her to look at him, and gave a pitying smile to her when he saw her tears. "Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna.. I'll end the pain soon enough. You just have to wait two hours."

Anna nodded softly, having now accepted her fate. In her mind, she was a monster who had to be put down, who had to be killed before they could cause damage.

Robbie nodded and walked up the basement stairs, the wooden stairs creaking under him. Anna watched him as he walked out of the basement, and looked down when the door shut.

'So this is it...' Anna thought, closing her eyes as tears streamed down her face. 'The monster banshee finally gets what she deserves. Death.'

A small smile formed underneath the ribbon covering Anna's mouth. A sad, small smile. 'They'll be happier without me. Cody will find someone better to love. I'm not the one for him. He deserves someone better. Someone who isn't a monster.'

Anna looked up in confusion when she heard a small 'Ding!'

Looking around, she spotted her phone on the ground next to her. It was Catherine, texting her. She frowned. Why was her spirit friend texting her? Didn't she hate her?

Anna felt her breath hitch. Did they actually care...?

'No! They don't! They're just acting like it. Plus, how would they ever find me? They don't know my house has a basement,' Anna thought, shaking her head. 'I'm gonna die in two hours, and they hate me, so they don't care. They won't look for me.'

'Thats The Truth..'
