CHAPTER 23
Allison's POV
"You don't love me! You only love Allison but not me! " A scream from downstairs made me awake. I stepped down from the bed and went down towards the voice that I heard.
"What's happening?" I asked after I saw my family standing in the living room.
All their eyes turned on me. I gave them a question look, waiting for their answer.
"What happened?" I asked again.
Maddison rolled her eyes and walked out on my side. She left us and it gave me more confusion on what happened. My mother moved closer and hugged me with all her heart.
When I got back in our room, I looked for my sister but I didn't see her inside our room.
"Mads!" I called out. I looked for her around the house but I didn't see even her shadow anywhere.
I came back to our room after a few minutes. Without my knowledge, the door of our room locked. I knocked on the door multiple times.
"Mads! Are you inside? Please open the door!" My heart started to pound rapidly.
I repeatedly knocked but no one was responding. I was sure that Madi was inside. I quickly went to the other room to get the spare keys. My hands were trembling as I handled the key. When I got back in front of the door, the key almost fell down on the floor as I inserted it in the door knob while my hands were shaking.
Widened eyes showed on my face as I placed my hands on my mouth. She was holding a knife in her right hand and it was placed on her wrist.
"Mads!" I quickly walked towards her and I grabbed the knife on her hand.
I glared at her. "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?"
She formed a smirk on her lips. "Why do you care?"
"Because I'm your sister!"
She laughed terrifyingly until the tears fell down on her face. After a moment, her expression made me feel the goosebumps. She showed a glare on me.
"Give it back to me!"
My eyebrows met and I shook my head. "No! I won't let you do this!" I walked outside the room without turning her back.
I heard her footsteps, following my path. "Don't act like you care, Allison!"
I stopped when I reached the railings of the stairs. "I care for you, Mads."
She moved closer to me after I turned my back on her. She moved her hand and showed her palm. "Give it back."
I still shook my head but when I was about to turn around again, she quickly grabbed my hand and forced herself to get the knife.
I moved faster to hold the knife more tightly. Both of our hands were holding the knife right now. I could feel the tension between us. The electricity of anger was showing through our eyes. With all my strength, I lifted up my hands together with her hands and let the knife point above.
"Mads! Put your hands down from the knife!" I ordered.
Her eyes were looking at me in anger. "No! You put your hands down! You always want everybody to follow you! Everyone's attention is always on you!"
I was breathing rapidly as I slightly opened my lips together with my widened eyes.
"That's not true!"
She started pushing me as we both wanted to own the knife. No one wanted to let go.
"It's true, Allison! Everyone loves you and no one loves me back."
I held my breath as I stopped her from pushing me. I looked back and my body was shaking when I saw the stairs at my back. It was inches away and in just a moment I might have fallen down.
"Mads! Stop this! I don't want any of us to be hurt."
Her eyes were burning in anger and without hesitation, she strongly pushed me backward until my body was rolling on the stairs.
*****
I screamed out loud as I woke up from the pain. The pain of old memories. Tears streamed down again on my face. Those are the memories that I was remembering all this time. Those are the memories that were buried for years.
I moved myself but my body was not responding. I looked down and saw myself being tied on the chair.
"Oh! My twin sister is awake," someone uttered in front of me. I looked up and stared at her. She was sitting in my front, crossing her legs.
"Maddison." I glared at her but she simply planted a smirk on her lips.
"Oh yes! Did you like my surprise?" She stood up from the chair and it showed me the two people who were suffering.
"Damn you! Why are you doing these?! They did not do anything on you!"
Terrifying laughter echoed in the room. I simply tried to untie my hands. I did not know what happened after I black out. I could feel the paleness of my body but I needed to make an action before anything might happen.
"Oh I forgot that you have a lost memory. I'm sorry my sister." The sarcasm on her voice was evident.
My eyebrows met for a reason. "What do you mean?"
She grinned. "Do you wanna know who our real parents are?"
Widened eyes formed on my face. "Did you know them?"
Another laugh made from her. "Of course! Why would I forget them?!"
The memories that were flashing in my mind showed the memories of me and Maddison. However, the faces of our parents were uncleared and blurred from the memories that slowly came back from my mind.
"Who are they?" I asked, arching my eyebrows.
"Allison! Maddison!" My poster parents screamed.
Another confusion occurred in my mind. How would they know my twin sister? My eyes were questioning them as I stared at them. On the other side, I finally untied my hands from the chair but I remained with my hands at my back. I slowly pulled the gun in my hidden pocket as Madi focused herself on my poster parents.
I put my hands back when she glanced at me. She pulled her gun and quickly pointed on them. The hell!
"Madi! Stop!" I stood up and pointed my gun on her.
She glared at me. "They are your real parents, Ali! Or should I say OUR real parents!"
She moved closer to them and still pointed the two guns towards their heads. My hands were shaking as my eyes widened again.
"Wh…What did you s-say?!" I kept my hands on the gun even if my hands were trembling likewise on my feet.
I turned my eyes on them and they were both looking down while their tears kept on streaming down.
"They pretended to be your poster parents! They made you believe that you were adopted because of your memory lost!" Madi revealed that made her voice louder.
She remained with her guns pointing to them. However, tears also fell down again in my eyes.
"Is that true?!" I questioned them as they were still looking down on us.
I could not process the revelation that I was hearing. I did not know what to believe. It felt like I was lost. I lost myself from my past. The eagerness inside me was blooming to know more the information that I needed to know.
Cries from my mom echoed. "I…I'm sorry."
I joined those cries with her. It felt like there were needles burying in my heart. It felt like my strength that I built for years left me alone.
"W-Why do we n-need to end up l-like this?!" I had a hard time breathing properly as the tears kept on streaming down in my eyes.
I never imagined that I was meeting my family in this kind of situation. I never expected to see them like this.
*****
Maddison's POV
"It's all your fault!" I screamed and I finally pointed my gun on Ali.
"Madi, my daughter! Please stop this!" Dad begged.
I gritted my teeth and held the gun tightly. They did not know how I suffered because of them. They did not know how my life became worse for years.
I was trembling in fear when I was watching how Allison fell down on the stairs. Tears also streamed down on my face. What did I do?!
Mom and Dad were quickly running towards my sister after they heard the loud sound from the stairs.
"Allison!" They screamed as they tried to wake her up. I fell down on the floor when I saw the blood on her head.
I quickly went down until my Mom faced me. I received a hard slap from her soft hand. Ever since, they never touched their hands on our body to hurt us but this time it was more painful than anything else. I cried over and over again as I begged them to forgive me.
Jealousy invaded me when we were children. At my young age, I believed in the truth that they only loved my sister more than me. The feeling made me feel hatred for my sister.
They brought her to the hospital. They left me alone in our house. I didn't have somebody to lean on and all their attention was on her.
The next day, my parents came back. I asked them about the situation of my sister but they did not even give a word to me. I could still feel worried about her. I never thought that I could push her because all I wanted was to vanish in their life.
"Maddison! Pack your things!" Dad ordered as he entered our room.
"W-Why?!"
"Don't ask." He opened the cabinet and got the bag from it. He threw it on my face.
"D-Dad!" I begged as I made a cry on him.
"I said pack your things!" He yelled. I was shaking when I stepped down on the bed and went towards the cabinet. I quickly put my things in the bag without knowing what would happen after.
After a moment, I saw myself in front of a house but I would think it was an orphanage.
"Sister. Please take care of her," Dad said to the woman in front of us.
I turned my eyes on him. "Dad! No! I don't want to go here!" I pleaded.
He did not respond to me until the woman was holding me and my things.
"Dad! Please! Don't leave me here!" I pleaded as my tears fell down again.
I was moving away from the woman as my Dad was walking away from me. I kept on crying until I never saw him in my sight.
I quickly wiped the small drops of tears that fell down on my face.
"No! I want justice for what you did to me! And Ali would pay for it!" I quickly pulled the trigger on my gun and the bullet sounded in the room behind the side of Allison. She quickly placed her hands on her ears.
"Put your guns down!!!"
A scream outside the room occurred. Footsteps were also coming into our place. I expected it. I expected the Vigilantes to be here but what I did not expect was that Boss Rom, Tania, Levi, and Harley were the only people who went there.
"Maddison?!" They all said in unison as their eyes widened in shock. They were also pointing their guns towards me.
"Why did you come late, Vigilantes? I have been waiting for your existence since earlier." I chuckled with sarcasm.
Levi and Harley went to the both sides of Allison. I clenched my jaw and closed the fist of my other palm. As expected, they were protecting her.
They never gave a word on me but their eyes were stuck only for me. They were watching my next move.
I grinned. "Since you were here, I want Boss Rom to decide who will be save for today..." I stopped, giving them my raised eyebrow.
"...Either Allison, my twin sister or our parents?"
I turned my eyes on them one by one. I stopped when my sight went back to Ali. I pointed the gun back to her and they all moved. I laughed as I turned back the gun on my parents.
"They are your family, Madi!" Boss Rom said it out loud.
"Choose!" I shot the ceiling above my head as I gritted my teeth in anger.
"Save my parents!" Ali ordered. She's using her authority again.
I laughed horrifyingly again until it echoed inside the room. "Better choice, Sis."
I walked back to my parents and slowly pulled the tie on their hands.
Unexpectedly, they moved faster as I did not not notice. Someone went at my back and I felt the arms snaking on my neck. It was pulling me into death. I choked for a moment and I tried to move it away from me.
My blood was running into my head and I pointed the gun to Ali. With all my anger, I shot her through my gun. I made multiple shots going to her place.
"Allison!!!" I knew that the voices were from Levi and Harley.
I suddenly felt the hard metal that was beaten on my head. For a moment, I felt the dizziness as my body was shaking.
With the blurry vision, I witnessed in my own eyes the blood flowing and running on the back and head of Levi while Allison was in front of him.
"Levi!!!" She screamed in pain.
I balanced myself from standing. I took a deep breath and quickly ran away from them before I lost myself.
