Return of the Undead

Alex (P.O.V.)

“Alexandra”

I froze. That voice. I would know it anywhere but it could not be possible. 

He was dead. Wasn’t he? 

Am I hearing things? Am I hearing my brother’s ghost? 

I snickered inwardly, yeah right ghosts. 

But who is it?

I guess I have to find out.

I slowly turned around and came face to face with the one and only Kyle Black. 

Still sobbing. I offered him a sad smile. 

Well I was still thinking that I was seeing his spirit or something.

“Please tell me you are not a ghost and you are not going to disappear when a light shoots through the sky like the soppy movies” I said. 

He chuckled. 

I gave him an amused smile.

“Alexandra, what did I tell you about crying?”

“Crying is for wusses and if you want to be strong block your heart and swallow your emotions” I quote it “now please tell me you are not a ghost. Please” I shouted and tried not to cry. 

I sobbed anyways.

“If I was a ghost could I have done this?” he then engulfed me in a hug. 

I hugged him tightly. We stood there hugging as if our lives depended on it. 

I did not want to let him go at all. I got my brother back. Thank you God. 

“But how?” I asked softly.

“Come lil sis let us come out of the rain, I will explain everything over a hot cup of coffee". I nodded

We then left for a small diner five minutes away from the cemetery. After we were dry we entered the diner and ordered our coffee.

I motioned for him to continue.

“Okay where do I start?”

“From the beginning will be great”

“Thanks smartass”

“Okay no interruptions”

“Go on” he rolled his eyes but continued anyways.

“The night we were going to the party while you were getting dressed I went to dad’s office.”

*Flashback*

Kyle (P.O.V.)

"Hey lil’ sis wanna go to a party with me?” I asked my twin sister. 

She rolled her eyes.

“Do you even have to ask? You know I am down with anything and you are only older than me by three minutes so stop calling me lil’ sis.” She said.

“I am not only older than you but I am also  bigger than you.” I flicked her forehead and smirked as she huffed in annoyance. 

“nu-uh”

“yes”

“no”

“yes”

“N-“ 

“Would you two shut up? And where are you going tonight?” Yelled mother. 

I scoffed because I knew even if she said no we would have snuck out.

“Um we are going to a party at Matt’s house tonight.” I stammered. 

I always did that when I was nervous.

“Okay then be home by eleven and do not worry we will send a designated driver for you two. I do not want you to be driving drunk. Have fun. Take care of each other” she said.

“I think mum got laid” I whispered and we both burst out laughing.

“Yeah me too. She is just so happy tonight”

“Okay let us go get ready to partaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!” I yelled while running down the stairs. 

I could hear Alex laughing behind me. I looked back at her to see her shaking her head. 

After Alexandra left to get dressed I went in search for dad. 

I needed money. 

Just then I saw mum.

“Hey mum do you know where dad is?”

“Yeah Hun I think he is in his office”

“Okay thanks” I kissed her on the forehead and headed towards dad’s office. 

When I arrived I heard he was talking on the phone so I decided to eavesdrop.

“Yes, I have him here with me but he is going to party tonight. After that you will break into the house and pretend you are hear for ransom that is when he returns from the party. When you are here you can take him. Okay that is done. I hope I do not regret selling my him to you. Yeah……. I know……. Right alright bye.” 

My father hung up and with a big sigh he took a  seat behind his desk. 

I slowly backed away from the door and made my way to the kitchen where I knew my mother was.

"M-mum can I talk to you for a second?" I asked her quietly as I made my way to the living room and took a seat on the couch.

I listened as she followed suit and took a seat next to me. 

She placed a hand on my knee soothingly and looked at me with concern in her eyes. 

"I just overheard dad on the phone with someone, I think he is trying to sell me" I whispered. 

I looked at her in her eyes and I saw an instant change in demeanor. 

It was not anger, or concern, it was something else that I quite could not pinpoint. 

I was shell shocked. 

She knows. 

SHIT!

Play it cool Kyle. 

"Do not be silly Kyle. What madness are you talking about. Are you feeling okay? Maybe you should not go to the party" She jokingly said as she felt my forehead to test my temperature.

I subtly backed away from her and smiled.

"No, I am fine. Maybe I just heard wrong." 

I go off the couch and made my way upstairs. I need to warn Alex. 

I cannot leave her alone with these people. 

I shook the feeling of betrayal. I did not want my sister living without her both parents because of me. 

I recomposed myself and entered my father's office.

“Hey dad, um, I was wondering if you can give me some money please?” he handed me his credit card. 

Perfect. 

This will come in handy if I were to run away tonight. I walked out of the office and up to Alexandra’s room. 

I can see her getting dressed. 

I was about to turn away when I saw something, no brother would have liked to see. 

She had a gun on her. 

Well there goes my chance of telling her. 

I did not want her going to jail because she killed her parents so I kept it to myself.

“Ready?” she asked.

“Um Ally….why do you have a gun?” her eyes widen.

“I will tell you on the way.” 

"Okay, well uh, I have to step out real quick" I said as I wiggled my eyebrows in a suggestive way to give the impression that I was about to meet a female. 

"Ew gross. Wear a condom. I am not ready to be an aunt" She said shoving me out of the room. 

I chuckled. I will miss her. 

I made my way downstairs into the garage. When I got into the car, I called the only other person beside Alex, who I could depend on to get what I had in mind done. 

"Chad? I need a favor man. Can you meet me now? I will be at the McDonalds parking lot. See ya" 

I ended the call and made my way to McDonalds. 

When I got there, I parked in a dark secluded spot and wait impatiently for my friend to arrive.  

About fifteen minutes later, I heard a knock on my window. 

I looked to see it was Chad and sighed in relief.

"Hey man, what is going on? You sounded rushed on the phone." He said, entering the car through the backdoor. 

Chad Wellington was a medical student in his last year of medical school, when he was caught with an ounce of cocaine and was then hereby expelled from the school and was told he could not practice medicine anywhere. He then went on to a life of crime where he proceeded to successfully make a living for himself. 

He was really smart and now I needed his expertise. 

I explained what was going on and waited rather impatiently for him to give me advice on what to do. 

"Well, what do you want to do?" He asked, watching me like a lost puppy.

I swear, for an intelligent motherf*cker he can be quite stupid sometimes.

"I do not know! That is why I called you!! But I was thinking along the lines of faking my death" I murmured the last bit, hoping to the heavens that I did not sound dumb.

"Hmmm" He said, tapping his chin, "That is doable. Okay, when do you want to do it" He asked, sprouting up and getting excited. 

"Wow wow wow, calm down, why are you so excited?" 

"It has been a while since I got to poke someone with a needle." 

"I am literally putting my life in the hands of an idiot." I facepalmed myself. 

God help me.

We constructed a plan that would play out tomorrow night, as I wanted to enjoy my last night with my twin sister. He got out of the car, and I sped back to the house to get Alex.

"Finally!! Dude what took you so long?!" She fumed as she got into the car, purposefully slamming my door. 

I glared at her and she smiled sheepishly at me.

"Sorry bro." 

I sighed.

"So are you going to tell me about the gun?"

Five minutes later I was still anticipating an answer. 

She sighed.

“I have this gun because I have been suspecting some weird people following you the other day.” 

I froze I did not know what to say. I wish I could tell her what was going on, but I feel as though, if she were to ever end up in jail for killing our parents then I do not want to be the reason it happened. 

I just nodded and kept quiet.

Five hours later we were both staggering out of the party. 

Our parents did not send us the designated driver so we decided to drive ourselves. We did not exactly get an official invitation to the party we just attended and so it would be nearly impossible to stay the night at the house. 

On our way we were laughing and having a ball. 

I had completely forgotten about the plan to run away. 

While talking we heard-

 Honk! Honk! 

Before we could have done anything a truck hit us. The car flipped and landed at the edge of a bridge. One wrong move and we would fall into the river beneath us.

 I reached my hands out to block the air bag from hitting Alex.

When the car had landed Alex was crying. 

I knew from this it was time to leave, so I did the only thing I could have thought of. 

I had to fake my death.

I sent the S.O.S signal to Chad through text, to let him know what was about to go down and I sent him my location. 

“Kyle are you okay, please tell me you are alright, come on Kyle speak to me. You cannot leave me. Who would help me with pranks and crashing parties? Who would help me to spike drinks at proms. Please Kyle don’t leave me. PLEASE!” she pleaded as I cried non-stop.

I took the syringe, that was full of barbiturate,  drug used to induce a coma, and I injected myself with it immediately. 

I smiled “I love you Alexandra, and I always will. Please remember what we promised to each other. This is our parents fault, they did not send a car for us. Give them hell. Do me proud Alexandra. I love you” 

I said as I closed my eyes soon slipping into an unconscious state. 

Before I could fully submerge into a coma, I felt someone drag me out of the car, then I heard Chad's voice.

"I got you man."

*Flashback Ended*

“Wow so all that happened? Wait so if you were gone how come dad did not search for you?”

“He probably thought that the people that were looking for me had taken me and left without payment.”

“That son of a-“

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence” he warned. 

I smiled sweetly at him.

"I wanna shoot him"

"No"

"B-"

"I said no, I have something else in mind." Kyle said, lowering his posture so that he can audibly whisper to me.

“How about we surprise little daddy; we will talk to the cops and tell them to be vigilant. When you go to school I will accompany you and we will scare the s**t out of him. When he sees me, then he might want to call the buyers and when they come, that is when the cops will bust in and hold them captive.” 

He said anxiously.

I rolled his eyes.

“Yes that sounds like a great plan, now come on. Let us do some shopping”

“OMG you are not my sister. You, want to do shopping. You sound like a girl.” 

Kyle said teasingly. 

I rolled my eyes again. I swear if I do that again it will stay like that.

“Whatever let’s go”

“You spoil the fun with your maturity." 

I said pretending to be upset.

“Keep calm and be a unicorn, will you?”
