Jenny was fast asleep until she heard noises outside of her bedroom door. She stared at the ceiling willing the tap-tap-tapping away. When it continued she sat up fast, angry that the noise would not let her be. "Abbie! " she yelled glancing at the clock that sat upon her nightstand. It read 3:08AM. When she didn't get an answer she decided to go check out the noise. "Abbie, if you're up cooking this late I swear-" she was cut off by what she saw.
Abbie stood in the dining room facing the wall rocking back and forth. She saw where the noise was coming from. In her hand she held a knife that hit the wall every time she leaned forward. Jenny cinched her eyebrows together "Abbie" she whispered, but Abbie continued to rock on the balls of her feet. Jenny walked up to her slowly with her hands in front of her in case she decided to put the knife to use. "Abbie what's wrong?" She asked when she was just a few feet behind her. Jenny reached out a hand and placed it on her shoulder. Abbie let out an ear splitting scream and turned around. Shocked by the sudden outburst Jenny tripped and fell to the ground. Abbie kneeled tears streaming down her face and hands placed as if in prayer with the knife still in them. "Please!" She begged Jenny. "Please! Help me!" She seemed as though she was struggling to say those words. Jenny was shocked by this. This was the first time in almost over a week that she seemed herself, genuine. Abbie leaned down and put her head on Jenny's legs sobbing. Jenny touched her head. Abbie slapped the floor hard making Jenny flinch."Shut Up!" she yelled looking off into space not speaking to Jenny. And with that Abbie rose to her feet, every trace of her crying was now erased.
In its place stood an icy glare at Jenny. Jenny stood up staring at the knife afraid that she might use it. Abbie walked up to her slightly taller sister and lifted the knife. Jenny was not afraid of her sister she could subdue her at any moment, but the way she stared at her caused Jenny to think otherwise. Abbie let the knife drop to the floor and smiled. All of her teeth showed as she burst into laughter. Jenny stood stunned. What was happening with her sister? Abbie continued to cackle as she reached up and tapped Jenny on the nose. Jenny grabbed her wrist. "Ooooh" Abbie teased insinuating that Jenny wouldn't do anything. She snatched her arm away from Jenny and sauntered off to her room.
