A good child

It slowly lifted her head. And she was greeted with a pair of pale eyes.   "Keisha's not here,"   Keisha charged at her with both hands on her neck and started choking her.    Cissy tried to help, but what can a spirit like her possibly do?   "Keisha, stop!" they both turned to where the voice came from. It was Alice's brother, Anton, along with its mother Mrs. Benz and Mrs. Martines, her adviser.    Keisha’s killer mode turned soft upon hearing the voice of Alice’s brother. Its grip slightly loosened on her neck. She immediately took the opportunity to them know who it really was.   “She’s Alice!” But then, the grip on her neck tightened once more.   “Oh my God!” Mrs. Benz said covering its mouth.  It almost fainted.   “I am not Alice!” it tried to deny further. But it refused to look at its family as well.  Instead, it glared at her for saying too much.   “Alice, If you can hear me. You need to let go of that girl.” It was its brother Anton trying to get close. As he spoke.     “I said,  I am not Alice!” the grip becomes tighter and tighter that she felt like her breath would be cut off at any time. As soon as it felt Anton's presence approaching. It immediately left Keisha's body and disappeared suddenly.   Gladly, Anton caught Keisha on time before it fell on the ground. She on the other hand dropped on her knees gasping for breath.   “Are you alright?” Cissy and Anton ask her at the same time.   “I’m fine. We need to find her quick before she kills another person.” Then she remembered about the one she left at the abandoned site. “Eulo, Eulo is still there,” she tried to get up. But her knees were still weak because of the choking earlier. “Stay here, I’ll go get him myself.” Anton proposed. And asked his Mother and Aunt to accompany her and Keisha. Alice might re-consider showing herself again if her family were around.   “Be careful,” Mrs. Benz told her son.   ***     Meanwhile,   It's been a while since he heard Alice's voice around. Could it have gone to Keisha when she couldn’t find him instead?   “Eulo?”  he heard a man’s voice calling his name. ‘No’, he thought. It might just be a deception made by Alice’s ghost to lure him out.   He kept quiet hiding himself inside the tall weeds. And waited until he confirms that it’s really someone else and not Alice.   “Can you hear me? Karma is looking for you. We need to get back there with them as soon as possible. That's the only way we can protect you from Alice."   He slightly peeked to see who it was. Though he hasn’t actually seen Alice’s brother, he heard once that it was a policeman.    There he saw a man standing a few meters away,  with its back facing him.   “I know you're having doubts about me. And that's probably because we haven't met yet. But you need to trust me right now. Because I’m the only one who could help you get out of here?"  Can he really trust that this one isn't a trap?   He thought long and hard before he finally decided to come out from hiding. "I"m here,"  The man immediately went up to him. And helped him up.  "What happened to you?" Anton asked as they walk back to the site.   "Your sister chased me all the way to the road. She even disguised herself as a passerby and drove my car. I had to jump out of it just to save myself, " What could you possibly do to my sister to make her hate you this much?" He was silent for a moment.  "I don't have a clue myself,"  As they near the entrance of the site. They met a man who looked exactly like the man next to him. The two were obviously surprised to have bumped into each other.  "Stay away from him, he's not a real person." said the Anton that came out of the entrance site. Eulo was so confused at both. That he stopped and stared at the latter for a while, before turning to the one beside him.  It had a blank expression on its face at first. When it suddenly grinned while staring at its dopple-ganger.  Eulo wanted to pull away from it. But its hold was too tight for him to set himself free.  "Let go, you freak!" he resisted.  It didn't move, instead, it continued to smile creepily at the person in front of them. "Alice, I know it's you. And I know that you still recognize me," "I already told you, I am not Alice," its face suddenly changed. With its eyes losing the color of its pupils. Looking more like a cadaver.  "Alice," a voice of an elder woman came from behind them. It was some elder lady who had a striking resemblance with Alice. Along with Karma and another elder woman, who looks the same as the first.  "It's me, Mom, I know that you're in so much pain right now. And I wouldn't want anything else, than to have those who hurt you, pay for what they did to you. But I wouldn't want you to suffer the consequences of your actions either," Alice's reaction seems to soften a bit as she listened to her Mother's words.  "You are a good child Alice, and God knows all that. But you have to stop this now. You have already taken many lives. And it may not account to the things that they did to you before." "You don't know what they did to me," Alice felt aggrieved. "Whatever I did to them, they deserved it all. Every piece of pain that I felt does not account for the punishment I bestowed in each and every one of them."  "But you've already killed everyone. Why won't you just let me go?" Eulo tried to talk some sense into Alice, but it was all in vain.  "Cause you are my biggest price,"
