"Now you're the one who's stuck here forever." Sachiko hears someone say, struggling to open her eyes and seeing Ivory.

"Why… did she do this? She betrayed me, taking all the energy for herself when there's a little girl here who misses life… I don't want to be dead." Sachiko says.

"I don't want to be dead either but you took complete control of me, Sachiko... you made me do all those horrible, unforgivable things." Ivory says.

"You wanted to." Sachiko says.

"No, that's not gonna work this time. Like you said, we're not too young to die... believe me, I'm sorry for what happened to you as a child but that was no excuse to make everyone else suffer." Ivory says.

"No, everyone misunderstands… I just wanted their souls to keep mom company, I didn't want her to be alone! But slowly, all the killing turned me insane, it wasn't my choice to enjoy it!" Sachiko says.

"Sachi..." Sachiko hears someone say, turning to see her mom.

"Mama?" Sachiko says, Yoshie sitting next to her.

"Baby, we were able to keep each other company... you didn't have to do this." Yoshie says.

"If I could… I'd make everyone alive again… but Sam took all the life energy, I was going to but without it, I can't." Sachiko says.

"She took it because it was.. killing you... she was saving you." Yoshie says.

"I don't want to be saved… If I can't be human, I don't want to be anything!" Sachiko says, tears falling again.

"Close your eyes and rest, my little one. You'll need it." Yoshie says, Sachiko nodding and closing her eyes. Even if she did have any energy, she could never argue with her mom. Yoshie kissed Sachiko on her forehead before pulling Ivory aside.

"We have to wait. It won't be long before another soul is created... then she can live again." Ivory says.

"One soul is killed for another to live." Yoshie says, Ivory nodding.

"And right now, I know someone who's gonna be in for a surprise when Sam shows up alive in LS." Ivory says.

"Carly missed Sam so much. Wait, you mean-" Yoshie says.

"Yeah. Sam's gonna meet my little brother... I really wish I'd been nicer to Jack but... it's in the past now." Ivory says.

"If Sam hadn't taken all the energy, We could be hopping into the living world at free will but… she's damn selfish." Yoshie says, glancing at Sachiko who still had tears running down her face while she slept.

"Everything in it's time." Ivory says before they see Sachiko open her eyes.

"It's... starting..." Sachiko says, her body glowing white.

"Well... that was unexpected... a little soon but... I guess Ari didn't wait too long." Ivory says.

"Ari?" Yoshie says.

"Ariana... the girl who was named after my sister... Jack's kid." Ivory says, re establishing the link between him and Ariana and hearing her and Tyler in the motel room in Paleto Bay.

"Mommy… what's happening?!" Sachiko says, frightened and shaking a little.

"You're going back." Yoshie says, Sachiko fading away.

"I... damn, Tyler… my head hurts..." Ariana says breathlessly, lying back against the bed.

"Ari?!" Tyler says before turning to the door. "Jack!" He shouts, Jack running in and seeing Ariana.

"Ari-" Jack says.

"Dad, what the hell?!" Ariana shouted, the 19 year old covering herself up.

"Tyler, what the hell did you do?!" Jack shouts.

"Nothing, I-" Tyler says.

"Guys, stop! What the hell is with my voice?!" Ariana says, her voice sounding like two different ones talking in sync.

"Ari, get dressed! I'm taking you home!" Jack says, throwing Ariana's clothes at her before walking outside, grabbing his phone and calling Carly.

"Jack, I just got little Michael to go to sleep." Carly says, her voice low.

"Carly… Ari's gone wierd, her voice is like it's… doubled and she said she got a headache and the way she was sat… just wasn't like her-" Jack says before hearing a different voice in the bedroom.

"Oh… I'm naked, that's a great start." Sachiko says, looking at the result of binding Ariana with herself. She still basically looked like herself but had Ariana's skin tone, her body shape and her clothes, which there were none of. But she was still her 7 year old size and had the same face and hair.

"Ari?" Tyler manages to say.

"Oh... hi there." Ariana says, morphing back into her 19 year old self and scaring the hell out of Tyler. "Oh, don't worry. Everything's fine, Tyler." She says, Tyler screaming in horror.

'We have to separate or this is going to kill both of us!' Sachiko says in Ariana's mind.

'Separate… first off, you just combined yourself with me and now… you want me to help you become alive?!' Ariana says. After a few seconds, Ariana's body starts stretching, looking like it was about to tear in half but then the two sides came free… two different people.

Or two identical people.

"Oh… did we seriously just become… twins?!" Sachiko says in disbelief, seeing both of them in the form of the two combined.

"We both got half of each other… so yeah, I guess we're twins." Ariana says, also stunned.

"I was trying to reincarnate myself

but... this works too. I'm alive again." Sachiko says, reaching out and resting her hand on the mirror as Tyler gets dressed.

"So… which of you is Ari?" Tyler asks.

"Me." Both girls say together.

"We're both half of each other… so in a way, there's two Aris and two Sachis." Sachiko says.

"Uh... give me a second." Tyler says before walking outside and telling Jack what just happened.

"Uh... we'll be right there." Jack says, hanging up.

"Hey, dad." Both girls say together as Jack steps into the room.

"Right... Ari was originally a twin..." Jack says.

"Well hey, now I… we are again." One girl says.

"Yeah... Sachi, right? I think we know someone who can figure this out." Ariana says.

"Yeah… Carly." Sachiko says.

"You met her already?" Jack says.

"Well, she is Ariana's godmother." Sachiko says.

"Our godmother. We're both almost exactly the same." Ariana says.

"God, yeah… shall I wear something different to help tell the difference?" Sachiko says.

"Yeah, we don't want to scare her half to death." Ariana says before the four of them get in Jack's car and leave, Tyler unsure of what to say.

It was a while before they reached the Klebitz house, Sachiko dressed in black skinny jeans, a red tank top and red and black hi top sneakers while Ariana was dressed in a purple tank top, grey shorts and grey sandals.

"Sachiko?" Carly says, Sachiko nodding.

"I'm alive again, Auntie Carly." Sachiko says.

"Auntie?" Carly asks, shocked when Ariana steps out from behind the car.

"We binded, we became twins… we're the same person." Ariana says.

"Come on in and explain before Trevor shows up." Carly says, everyone walking in and Carly closing the door.

Everyone sits down, both Ariana and Sachiko following Sachiko's habit of having a glass of water.

"So. I went back with Sam, wanted to come back here and live, didn't care of the consequences at that point so Sam decided it was a good idea-" Sachiko says.

"-to take all my life energy and revive herself, utterly selfish act if you ask me." Ariana says.

"So my mom and Ivory managed to find a soul compatible enough to bind me with and did-" Sachiko says.

"Creating twins of both of us, half Ariana, half Sachiko." Ariana says, finishing the explanation.

Carly took a deep breath as Johnny and Jason walk into the room, Johnny blinking in shock.

"It worked better than last time." Sachiko says.

"Last time?" Jack says.

"When Gionna was almost killed by a reckless driver, that was... when I tried to do the same with her as I have with Ari." Sachiko says.

"I should've listened to her then." Johnny says, remembering that day.

9/18/01, Leftwood Hospital, I.C U.

"What... the hell?" Gionna says, reaching her hand out at Sachiko.

"You… won't want to know what I tried to do." Sachiko says.

"What do you... mean by-" Gionna says, struggling to sit up.

"You remember the drowning 4 years ago, remember the girl… that was me. Here, I wanted to… bind us together so I could be alive again because I'm dead and I hate it." Sachiko says.

"So you-" Gionna says.

"Yeah, possessed Franco... and the man that attacked you when you were 13." Sachiko says. She put her hand over her mouth to muffle Gionna's screams but Sachiko found herself fading away.

Gionna's eyes were closed tight as she continued screaming, hearing someone running in and feeling their arms around her, a familiar hand stroking her hair.

"Gionna, it's okay. It was just a bad dream." Johnny says, Gionna breathing roughly as Johnny rubbed his right hand up and down her back.

"No, there was a girl here! She said she possessed Franco when he put me in the river, and that guy who… attacked me when I was 13." Gionna says, opening her eyes but Sachiko was gone. "I'm losing my mind." She says.

"You're not losing your mind. You were hit by a car and were out cold for two days. The car hit you so hard that it knocked you off the Old Alderney freeway and into the river." Johnny says.

"I almost drowned again? I... I can't remember." Gionna says.

"You won't. You were knocked out by the car impact and unconscious by the time you went over the barrier." Johnny says, Gionna resting her head on his shoulder.

Sachiko watched them from outside the room, anger building in her.

"Every time I try... he always saves her!" Sachiko says angrily, disappearing.

It was a while before Gionna fell back into sleep, Johnny brushing her hair out of her face. He carefully placed her back onto the bed, pulling the white covers up to her shoulders and kissing her on her forehead, lying down and falling asleep, putting a protective arm around her.

"If you hadn't saved her, I'd be alive again!" Johnny heard Sachiko shout and opened his eyes, blinking in shock.

"Why are you trying to kill her?! Who are you?!" Johnny says as Sachiko reveals a pair of scissors in her right hand.

Sachiko let out an evil giggle before disappearing, reappearing in front of the school and seeing Yuki.

"Sachiko… you seem to be spending a lot of time in the living world now…" Yuki says.

"Oh yes, quite fun up there, 7 billion people to play with." Sachiko says, smirking as she briefly imagined all the pain she could bring… to 7 billion people.

"Why her?" Yuki says.

"Yuki… just… I'm not gonna tell that, that's for me to know." Sachiko says before walking inside the school.

Present time…

"I wasn't trying to kill Gionna the first time… I just-" Sachiko says.

"Wanted to be alive again but… she… why?" Johnny says.

"I… I tried while she was there and her soul… rejected me, she'd already known about me for too long… and built up a wall against me so when I couldn't bind with her… the anger took over and I tried to kill her." Sachiko says.

"She was just a scared kid…" Jack says.

"I tried it again-" Sachiko says, looking at Carly. "-it wasn't too long after you lost your memory." She says.

"That… you were on the beach in North Chumash when I got attacked by a shark." Carly says.

"Yeah… I watched from the shore as I… controlled the shark." Sachiko says, the regret of all the killing once again showing in her face.

9/12/13, North Chumash…

"Klebitz, what the hell happened?!" Jack shouted as he got out of his Kumura, running over and seeing Johnny put a barely conscious Carly on the nearby lounge chair, blood pouring from Carly's upper right leg.

"Some fucking shark came up to the shore, attacked her!" Johnny says, taking his shirt off and tying it around Carly's leg to stop the bleeding.

Carly struggled to keep her eyes open, feeling a hand on her injured leg and flinched, trying to move away when she saw the blurred outline of a damaged red dress.

"Please… lower the wall around your soul… I want to be alive again." Sachiko says in Carly's mind.

'No… I don't know you… for all I know, you're trying to kill me!' Carly thought. Sachiko listened closely to what Carly was singing in her head.

"September 77, Port Elizabeth weather fine… it was business as usual… in police room 619… oh, Biko, Biko, because, Biko, Biko… oh, Biko, Biko, because, Biko…"

Sachiko backed off… Carly was trying to stay alive for the same reason Sachiko wanted to be alive again, neither one wanted to be dead.

Sachiko returned outside the school, Yuki waiting for her.

"I couldn't do it… her spirit's too strong." Sachiko says, sadness and anger in her voice.
