Mistaken

Chapter 12.

Payback. That has been on my mind ever since I found out what happened to Silvia. Aphrodite and Eva would have to suffer. It didn't matter that they killed Silvia. Now, they were playing by my game, and they will most certainly lose.

Justin and I were still at the abandoned house. We were thinking of evil ways to get revenge on them.

"How about we pretend to kill them?" Justin suggested.

"No. That would just scare them a little bit." I finally thought of something. "How about you tell them you killed me and that they should see what you've done. This can happen on the cliff three miles away! I could pretend to be dead by the edge of the cliff and when they check on me, I could scare them shitless! They could like almost fall off the cliff!"

"So your version of revenge is death?" Justin asked uncertain.

"It's certainly better than 'pretending' to kill them!" I scanned the room for anything we could use. I saw a piece of rope and a bandana. "What the heck? Is this your own kidnapping center?"

"I just found it like this. No one has come by and used it so I thought this place would be useful to hide out. You know... In case if I did get in trouble." he explained.

"Mind if I looked around?" I asked.

"Sure, I never had the chance to check the rest of this place out, so I have no idea what's in the other rooms."

I went into a room that was farther down the hall. As I went in, a strong smell of dust suddenly entered my nose. I covered my mouth and nose with my hand. The room was fairly small with a broken desk in the corner. I went over and checked what was inside. As I opened the desk, I found loads of pictures in it. "What the hell..." I looked at them closely. They seemed fairly new. It was a distant shot with a girl in the window looking out. The house seemed familiar. I checked the next picture and this time it was a zoomed in shot of the same girl, from the same house. She had brunette hair, and same skin tone as I. "Oh my gosh. Justin! Get in here!" I yelled out.

I could hear him running down the hall. "What is it?" he asked.

"Did you take these?" I showed him the pictures.

He took a closer look and was shocked. "No! What the hell? Where did you find these?" he asked.

"They were in the desk over there!" I pointed.

He went over and looked inside. He pulled out a journal and opened it. He read out an entry. "September 14th, 2011, it's finally over. After my search for her, fate has brought us together again. I'm trying to stop my stalking habits but it's just so hard. She's so beautiful. This is exactly what caused her to leave last year. I can't let this happen again. I just can't." he stopped reading and looked confused.

I froze. I knew exactly who wrote that. "Oh my gosh."

"What is it?" he asked.

"I know exactly who wrote that." I choked on my words. "Those pictures are of Silvia. Not me."

"What are you talking about?" he said.

Quickly I took the pictures and checked on the back. Red ink was on the back of both of them. "9/14/11. We didn't meet till the 17th... Shit... s**t! He started as soon as he saw her! Eva! Justin, Silvia was getting stalked by Aphrodite's step-brother!" That could mean one thing. He has been stalking me too! I took the journal from Justin and checked for the latest entry. "October 15th, 2011, Beatrix seems to be acting more like herself now... it's like she's gotten a reality check or something. It certainly is the Beatrix I missed and love."

Justin was piecing it together. "So if he's been stalking you, does that mean he knows where you are right now? I thought this place was abandoned! I haven't seen him around at all!" he said.

"Well I don't know if he knows where I am. And there was a big time gap between the entries. One was on September 19th and the latest one was on October 15th." I explained.

"So he just comes at random times and updates his journal and photo stash?" he asked.

"Exactly. He did this when we were together in LA. I found a journal and all kinds of pictures of me in his room. That made me leave, well try to leave I guess. It's lovely how history repeats itself." I dully said.

"We better get out of here then!" Justin suggested.

"I don't think that will be necessary." a voice said. We both turned around. It was Logan.

"Why are you doing this? I thought you would leave the talking alone!" I yelled at him.

"Well I just got carried away. I didn't know you had a twin, Beatrix. It is a shame that she's dead. I overheard you two talking. I'll send you flowers sometime." he seemed to be amused.

"What the hell do you want!?" Justin aggressively asked.

"One, please stay away from my girlfriend. If not, I'll simply have to kill you," It didn't seem like he was joking. "And two, I suggest that we leave the body here and simply blame Justin. It's a win-win situation!"

"Did Aphrodite tell you all about this?" I asked.

"You know what? She did. But she didn't mention you had a twin! She just said you died. I was so devastated, but when I saw you in class the day after she said that, I became overjoyed!" he explained.

"Well you can kiss your freedom goodbye! We're gonna turn you in to the cops!" I yelled.

"Oh honey, you don't have to do that!" he said. Just then, Justin ran towards him and tackled him to the floor. I yelled, he had no idea what he was capable of! I quickly searched around for something to hit him with. I checked the closet and there was a metal rod lying on the ground. I picked it up and tried to find a good time to hit him. Justin and Logan were rolling on the ground too much that I couldn't get a clear hit on Logan.

"Justin! Get off of him!" I yelled.

He struggled to try and get up but he managed. I quickly hit Logan with the rod really hard. He cried out in pain. My anger got the best of me. I turned into an aggressive sociopath and just bashed his head in with the rod. After I was done, I looked at what I had done. He was laying there gasping for air. I looked at the rod, it was bloody and bent. I was breathing heavily. I walked towards him and pierced him with the rod. I fell to my knees and was crying. Justin was holding me in a tight hug. "It's finally over." I whispered to him.

"We still have Aphrodite and Eva to deal with." he said.

"I know." I said. I know.
