I was awoken by the sound of running water ... or was it my own ragged breathing ? Thoughts began serging into my mind so fast i could barely piece them into recognizable memories. where am I ? more importantly how did i get there? .. i questioned my mind so forcefully expecting somehow to will an answer.. an abrupt noise caught me off guard and jolted my body face down on a cold, tiled floor.. the smell of perfume filled the air .. familiar somehow.. i knew that smell . like fresh flowers .. at the corner of my eye i could see something off setting to the very opaque room... with my hands placed palm down i gently crawled across the floor.. a puddle of blood drenched a shirt completely red with splotches of Burgundy ... unaware of what this ment instincts took over and i began to clean it in a sink full of water .. someone must have been running the water to have filled such a deep sink like this to the top .but figuring out who could of done this was least important in my mind ... I drew a bar of soap continuously over the blood stains ... everything in my body wanted to clean the blood from this shirt .. soon i was scratching and tearing at the shirt scattering the soapy water onto a mirror ... it wasn't until i noticed my reflection that the impulse to run surged so hard it almost knocked the breathe out of me .. i couldn't recognize my own self ... those weren't my eyes .. those weren't my lips ... but yet they were indeed mine... a certain feeling of dread began to choke me ... that wasn't my reflection ... it was my twin sister Violet's .. in that moment the missing pieces forced their way into my head subsiding my confusion ... and i never been more scared in my life ... i remembered where i was and how i got there but more frighteningly i remembered that my twin sister Violet died 10 years ago ........
