chapter 4

" what the hell are you doing in my kitchen ! ,And how did you get in ? I was so shocked , i remember i locked the door , or maybe i didn't , I am not sure .

" I found the door unlocked , and i wanted to do something for you to thank you for what you did with me " when i came home today i didn't expect to find Sarah to be in my house​ , cooking me dinner ! My old friend she would do that all the time but this Sarah , the one standing in front of me , is not my old friend .

"There was no need , breakfast was enough " i told her , i didn't want her in my house reminding me of what she took away from me , her facial expressions at my words almost cracked my hard act but what mark said was being repeated in mind , if Sarah is dead , could this be another person ? A duoblganer , a replica ? , But how could it be ? , And why ? , Why would anyone​ would take Sarah's place ? .

" I am sorry , you said last night you have a key to my parent's house " so she is here for the key , i was reluctant to give it to her or not , i wanted her out of my house , but also i want to know if she is not Sarah , then who is she and why is she taking Sarah's place ?

"Who are you ? , Why are you taking Sarah's place ? , Is this some sick joke you're playing ! , I am not going to give you the keys and you better give me some answers before i call the cops ! " I was fed up with this twisted game of her , i just want to know why would she do that !

" I am Sarah your neighbor ? And what sick joke , i just want the keys to my parents house ! " She got angry , the same frown , the same posture when angry , I don't understand , how can she be so like her ?

" Sarah is dead " i whispered , just feeling the meaning of these three heavy words .

" Excuse me ! " She answered getting angrier

" I .SAID . SARAH . IS . DEAD ! " I shouted , i wanted her out now !

" I am Sarah , I am not dead , and i may not remember you but i know I am perfectly fine , now give me the keys so i can rest at home for once ! " I studied her really closely , could the doctor be wrong ? , Could this girl really be my friend ? , If yes , why doesn't she remember me ? , I felt defeated all of a sudden , like i have no more power to fight her with what she wants , i just want to be left alone to think and rest .

Sarah left an hour ago , after i gave her the keys to the house , her room was illuminated and i could see her moving around behind the curtain , don't get me wrong I am not stalking her but i don't feel right about all this

So i decided i would do something that might make me understand .

I contacted Sarah's college friend Cindy and asked her about Sarah , but got the same answer i got from the doctor , but that person is a living proof that that is a twisted story ! , If Sarah is dead then who is this person and why would she pretend to be Sarah ? , And why am i being the only one who is interacting with her ?.

It's been a week since i found Sarah in my kitchen , and during that week i did my research , i wasn't the best in the field but I am pretty impressed with the results i have found , i know that Sarah didn't die , because there was no certificate with her death , so if she did die , someone must have buried the body and got away with it , which isn't an option since i have been watching Sarah all week , and she is interacting with all kinds of people and they seemed happy to have her back in the neighborhood , I am not sure if she remembers them or not , and if she doesn't I don't know how she covered it up , now the big question is , why did the doctor and Cindy lie to me about it ? , What's in for them ? I couldn't find a valid reason for anyone to fake someone's death , unless they were criminals and wanted an easy escape but that would require a death certificate to make it believable , I don't know what else to think , i have searched everywhere , just to find the truth and so far i still think there is a bigger picture , but it's not clear at the moment .

Watching Sarah at her home became a habit now , I am starting to think that i am really a stalker , but this whole Sarah thing just won't leave my mind , she had a very strange routine or at least it doesn't become strange until she gets home , she wakes up , go to work , get some groceries , then comes home , and then nothing , she just changes her clothes and sit down for a couple of hours not moving , she keeps staring at the far end of the wall with a professional posture , I don't know why she is doing it , most people would just relax inside of their home , but Sarah doesn't , it's like this is her way of relaxing , i also noticed she doesn't have a cellphone nor she gets near them , she refuses to go near them , I don't know why , my Sarah loved her cellphone , she wouldn't go anywhere without it , so this is a strange thing for her .

A movement in Sarah's house causes me to focus on her house , Sarah is moving , she isn't supposed to move until 15 minutes , that's unusual , she moved to the window and looked directly at me , but what really terrified me was her eyes , she didn't seem like she was looking at me , it seemed like someone else was watching me through her , her movement resembled a robot being controlled not a normal human being , she gave me this creepy smile and i saw her moving again but heading to her front door , once out , she was heading to my house .
