I woke up.
"Seto?" It was Serenity calling out. I turn my head to see her. She was holding my hand this whole time.
I got up and sat on the bed. "Serenity, I know where her body is located at."
She looked shocked. "Really, tell me."
I shook my head. "I need to go back the basement."
She nodded and the same man enters the room. "Oh, Seto. You finally awake."
I got up and asked him to let me go back to the basement.
...
We here, again in the basement. I asked the old man. "I need to break this wall." The one, then he showed us where was the chains.
He hands me over a pickaxe. "Here."
I grab it and started to break the wall. When I got through the wall, I took out the remains of the wall to find a small packet. I took it.
"That's what Sally showed you?" The old man said.
"Sir, can I use your table upstairs to look through this?" I asked him. He nodded and we went upstairs to the table in his dining room.
I place it on top and took a seat. I opened it up. It was a record of James. I read to them.
...
'DATE: December 17, 1842
James Still.
Birthday: 3/8/1815
Age: 27
Illness: Blind.
Description: He needs a donation. He needs an operation to save his eyes.'
...
"There's other papers." I continue to read them. I took out the four more papers.
The first one said.
'Date: January 10, 1843
James has no donation yet. Please wait until we find one.
Please contact us at...'
The second one said. "Date January 13, 1843"
'We are sorry, we can't find anyone to replace your eyes with. Please continue to wait. Don't force your eyes to further the damage. Please, come back to check up.'
The third one said. "Date January 24, 1843."
'We found a donor. Please, come in, to conduct your operation.'
...
We stayed silent. Serenity spoke to us. "So, you think the younger brother James took her and stolen her eyes for his operation. We all did see her with no eyes."
I agreed with Serenity. "We have taken this to Jack Still for evidence." I told Serenity.
The old man talked to me. "What about her body?"
I looked at him. "We have called the cops when we get there." I got up and said. "Let's go to Jack house first."
...
We all went to Jack house. I knocked. He opens the door. "Oh, hello. Please, come in."
We all went in and sat on the couch. "Did you come up with anything about Sally?" As he sits in front of us.
I was the one speaking to him. "Yes, here the documents. We found at.." I didn't know the old man name. "It's James." He said.
I found it a little odd, but put it aside. "James's house. Also, James here had the mirror in his house."
Jack looked at him. "So, you had the mirror?"
James nodded. "I found it a long time ago in my basement. Sally showed herself to me. I wasn't expecting for the mirror to be haunted."
Jack didn't say anything. It was my turn to talk to them. "Everyone, I know where they took Sally's body."
Jack looked at me. "Really, where?" Jack moves up from his seat.
"I show you where is it. Also, Jack, do you have a shovel?"
"Yes, let me get it." He got up and went to get it. We waited for him when he came back with one.
We headed out.
When we went to the train track. James told us. "Here, where I threw out the mirror. That's just playing creepy."
"She is buried underneath this ground. Give me the shovel." I said to Jack.
Jack gives me the shovel and I started to dig it up. I found her body. She was buried in her little black dress. I couldn't help it, but call 911.
I answer their questions and told them where we are at.
...
Hours later. The cops came and they saw Sally's body.
"Sir, one more thing. I want an autopsy done on my great, grandmother." Jack said to the officer. "Also, here are some record about James her brother. He is the one that murdered her." The officer walks up to him and took it.
"So you knew the victim?"
"Not really, she apart of my family. Her name is Sally Still. She was missing on January 28, 1843, on the day of her birthday." Jack said to him. The officer wrote it down. "One more question. How did you find her and the record."
"I did." I told the officer. He turns to look at me.
"How did you?"
"I had a dream about the day she was murdered and they help." That was my response to him.
He opens the packet and read it. His eyes widen. "Wow. Sir, thank you, we could open this case up and put an end to this." The officer walked away from us.
We all saw how they took Sally's body.
Jack was happy and sad. "Now, Sally could rest."
...
(One year later. January 28.)
Serenity has been my maid for almost a year. There have been times that I notice we are bumping into each other a lot lately. I don't know how I feel about her.
It's been quiet in the house, Sally hasn't been seen at all. I'm glad she's resting in peace. I forgot about the mirror from the hallway. It has just been so quiet without Sally that I decided to leave it there.
Serenity always remains me to take it down, but I never did. Today, it's Sally birthday, I'll take it down for her. I went upstairs and took it down. When I was holding it. I looked at myself and I saw Sally behind me.
I drop the mirror. It didn't break. "I want death." I was pushed hard against the wall. I ran downstairs. "Serenity!" I called out. She was in the library. I went in there. She turns around. "Seto?"
"Serenity, Sally is back." I went up to her.
"How? I thought finding her body will put her to rest." Serenity put the book back. The lights started to flicker.
"Die!" It was Sally's voice.
All the books flew off the bookshelf. I grab Serenity and cover her with my jacket, headed to the open door that swings shut. We made it to the door. I tried to open it, but it was locked. The books stop flying around. I let go from Serenity and we turned around to see Sally looking at us.
"Jayme. I hate you."
I tried to talk to her. "Sally, why?"
"You killed me."
"Sally!" Serenity yelling at her.
"He wanted my eyes. He is the one that did this to me. Seto."
"Wait, Seto isn't your brother." Serenity tried to convince her.
She vanished.
We headed out to the dinner room. We took a seat. "Serenity, don't worry about the library. We have to figure out why she's not resting."
She nodded. "Seto, could it be your related to the Still family by any chance?"
Now that she mentions it, Mokuba and I were adopted. I remember my mom and dad before they died. I told Serenity that I'm in fact adopted and my last name was Still before it was changed. She was shocked. "Seto, I think that she's not resting because she's hasn't had a clear understanding of why you did that to her?"
I had a dream, knowing what happened to her, but I never told anyone because finding her body would put her to rest.
"Serenity, I know what happened. I need to tell you the story."
The lights started to dim.
...
(Sally) (Seto is telling her what happened to Sally on the day of her birthday.)
January 28, 1843
I got up extra early. I heard talking through the air vent from my attic. I went over to it. I could tell, it was my brother Jayme.
My older brother. "What should I do? He needs those eyes. I couldn't let him live a blind life." He closed the door of his room.
I got dressed and went downstairs. I went to the kitchen. "Mom."
My mom looks unhappy about something. "Oh, Sally. Why you don't help me with making lunches for Jayme and James. Sally for a birthday gift why you don't stay with mother today."
I jumped. "Yes, mama and me in the house for today. We are going to have fun, mama," I had a huge smile on my face. Mama smiled too.
"Sally go give the lunches to them." Mama gives me the lunch box. "Okay."
I went upstairs the give them their lunches. I heard them talking out loud. "I don't want eyes!" James said while yelling
" I want you to live a happy life, James!" Jayme yelled too.
"You can't take it away from her! You know how I feel about that. James."
I knocked on the door. "Brothers, I have your lunches."
My brother Jayme opened the door. He took the lunches and slams the door. I looked down, I had tears coming down from my cheek. I went back downstairs to my mama while cleaning my cheeks. "They didn't say happy birthday."
Mama put her hand on top of my head. "It's fine. They will remember it." She smiled and went to cook. I went to help her. We set up the table.
We waited for Jayme and James to come down to eat breakfast. Sometimes, I could never tell the apart. They look alike. "Twins, did you forget today Sally birthday?" Mama was scolding them. "No, we haven't." Jayme told our mama.
...
They left and I stayed with Mama. We played board games and someone of her friends came over too. I had fun.
...
When it was around 4 o'clock Jayme and James came back to the house. My mom was talking to them in the living, I heard their conversation in the kitchen. "Jayme, you can't do that."
"But mom." It was Jayme's voice.
"No buts."
...
My mom came into the kitchen. "Sally, why you don't play with your brothers while I get the cake."
"Okay, mama." I gave her a smile and she smiled too. I headed to the living room. "Jayme, James." I called out to them.
We played a board game for a bit until mother came back to the living room. "Jayme, James. Look out for Sally and the house. I'll be back."
She opens the door and headed out. James felt us, he went upstairs. I think he went to his room.
Jayme comes to me. "Sally come play with me" Jayme asked me.
I put my hands on my back. "What you want to play with me, big brother?"
"I want to play hide and seek." Jayme put his hand on top of my shoulder.
"Big brother, you never played with me, but first let me get my book." I run upstairs and picked up my diary. I went back downstairs. Jayme picked me up and said. "It's your birthday. Let's headed out."
Jayme opened the door and we headed out.
.
He took me to a house. "Big brother, who's is this house?" I asked him.
He knocked the door. Some old man opened the door. "Oh, hello."
Jayme puts me down and we walked in.
The old man grabs a mirror and gives it to Jayme. The old man offered me to have a seat in the living room. They went into the kitchen. I wrote in my diary.
...
They came to the living room. Jayme said. "I brought you a mirror. It's your birthday gift."
I was happy to hear, got a birthday gift. He grabs my hand and we went out again. He took the mirror. "Big brother. What about hide and seek?" He took me to a nearby train track. There was a shed and we went in. He hangs up the mirror. He picked me up and laid me down on the table.
"What are you doing? I don't like this game."
He took out a knife. I was scared, I tried to get up, but he stabs me in the chest. The last thing, I looked was the mirror.
...
(Back to Seto and Serenity)
"That's what happened?" I told her.
Serenity said. "Was it really you?"
I looked down. "I was looking at myself, but at the same time, it felt like it wasn't me. We have to see Mokuba."
She nodded. "Seto, I think you didn't kill her. I think it was James." I mean, they were twins after all. She couldn't tell them apart very well."
I nodded. "Yeah, it could be that Mokuba could be my twin brother."
We both went to the garage and drove to see Mokuba.
...
We went to the same room from last time. Mokuba enters the room and sat down.
"Hello, big brother. Sally told me you discover what happened to her." He looked at me.
I had questions for him. "You knew she hated me because I looked like Jayme. Didn't you?"
He started to laugh evilly. "Jayme and James. Umm. This world seemed to wonder." He started to laugh.
"I know you are my twin brother, Jayme."
He stops laughing and looks at me. "Jayme? No, I was James. That night of the murder I killed her. I took her eye's because I wanted to see. I'm sorry, Sally." He started to laugh. "That day of the car crash you killed Jayme. I said it was me (James) and played I like Jayme this whole time. Do you understand why I killed her? Jayme." He called me by that name.
"I understand. Sally, you know who killed you. He confessed." I talked to Sally. I crossed my arms. We got up and left. "I hope you live a painful life Mokuba." I said to him.
...
We went into the house.
"Seto, I was shocked to learn that Mokuba killed Sally."
I looked at her. "I'm too." We went into the living room and saw Sally. She was looking down with her hands on her back. She looked up her baby blue eye. She said. "Thank you, big brother. I forgave Mokuba. Goodbye." She turns around, walked away and disappeared.
Serenity and I looked at each other.
...
Days have passed and nothing really happened. I put away the mirror in my attic and close it.
...
I became closer to Serenity. We kissed by accident because she fell on top of me.
When she got off. I kissed her. She kissed me back.
We stayed by each other side.
