A/N: I never thought I would write this, be alas here I am. I have one more story that I will publish soon. Then I will go rounds over the stories I haven't updated and update them. This story will be a bit different, so I hope you like it!
Be warned! This is rated M for a reason, not because of romance and smut. But because of the plot that is up ahead.
Chapter 1 - Why my family
~X~
Harper Bellrose had a headache. Something felt wrong, something bad was about to happen. She was curled up in her bed, trying to focus on her book, but it was impossible. The music echoed throughout the house, it was so loud that she wondered how the people downstairs would be able to hear each other. To her it wasn't even music, just bleeps and bloops that formed a pulse that you could jump around to. It was her sister's kind of music.
Henry, or her real name Henrietta, was the wild twin. She had it all planned out this evening, as her mother would go away for the weekend to visit grandma, she would be having the sickest party in Mystic Falls. Everyone was invited of course. But she didn't really care about who came and who didn't, because she was the most popular girl in school and everyone came to Henry Bellrose's parties.
Harper often wondered where she got the money from, since they don't have a lot of money to begin with. Where did the alcohol come from? Where did the food come from. She never knew, and some part of her doesn't want to know.
Their home was a house that had gone through generations of Bellrose's. They were one of the founding families. But along the way up to now, the flow of money dried up, leaving them close to the poverty line.
Harper and Henry had never met their father, he had left town when their mother said the word pregnant. It didn't help that their mother thought she was a psychic, and her only base of income was her fortune tellings and palm readings that she would do in their living room. The same living room that was in the process of being totally destroyed by Henry's party.
Suddenly the back door was opened and slammed, Harper looked out of her window to see her sister almost run into the forest behind their house. This made her of course worried. Why would her sister leave her own party? After all, she was the sun that the party goers (planets) revolved around. So she decided that, while still in her star wars pyjamas, follow her and make sure she wasn't hurt.
The woods were dark and so confusing to her. She followed the cries of her sister, who had on her way taken of her shoes and jewelry. But Harper let them be, they could pick everything up on their way back.
And then the cries stopped, and Harper got worried. She ran as fast as she could to catch up, but suddenly her sister wasn't in front of her anymore. Harper looked around, terrified of the situation.
"Henry!" She shouted, trying to focus on the sounds around her. They weren't that far from the house, she could still hear the 'music'. So odd would it be that she couldn't hear her sister, it wasn't like she could teleport or run as fast as the speed of light.
"HENRY!" Harper shouted once more, now walking further into the forest in desperation. Her twin couldn't just disappear like this. She ran as fast as she could straight forward, not caring about the burning sensation in her lungs.
"H-Henry!" Harper stopped and realised that she was lost as well. Without a phone. In a dark forest. And no sister is sight.
"Henry please, where are you?!" Harper was scared. She just wanted to help, she just wanted to bring her sister home again.
"Harper?" A voice, almost like a grunted whisper came from her right. Harper recognised the voice and ran towards it.
"Henry" Harper's eyes were wide. She suddenly lost the ability to breathe, she couldn't understand this.
Henry was on the forest floor, bleeding out from a wound on her neck. She was as pale as a sheet of paper and her eyes were red from crying.
"Why… Who.. wh-" Harper was getting nauseous from the smell of her twins blod.
"I… I'm.. I" Henry tried to speak but she couldn't, she was bleeding out. Harper snapped out of her shock and realised that her sister had her phone in her hand, screen unlocked and ready to be used.
Harper took the phone out of her sister's cold hand and pressed 911 on the dial. But realised that while she tried to function as a human being, her sister stopped.
"This is 911, please state your emergency"
