CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Melissa gasped and raised her hands to her face. Before she could scream, she heard Callie's wail of terror. Lowering her hands, she saw Callie's neck being covered by a pair of hands. Looking around, she saw that Brittany was choking Callie.
Melissa smiled. With a flourish, she lunged for her sister's ankles.
"Girls, what are you doing?" A voice called. Brittany let go of Callie and turned. Mrs. and Mr. Crochet were standing down the street, glaring at Brittany and their daughters. Instantly, Callie began her act.
"Mom! Dad! Those girls tried to kill me! I was looking for this girl-" Callie motioned to Melissa "-And they tried to choke me!"
"Give it up, Callie," Melissa growled. "This isn't going to work this time." Callie grinned at her sister. "Just wait and see, Melissa. You and Brittany aren't going to live. I'm getting you back. I'm going to get you both!"
"But why?" Melissa cried angrily. "Why are you doing this to us? What's your secret, Callie?"
"Girls, come on! Get down here!" Mrs. Crochet interrupted. Sighing, Melissa headed down the street with Brittany beside her. Callie looked at the girls with a smug face. You'd better get walking, Callie thought. Because this is going to be your last walk down this street. I guarantee you that.
The next morning, Melissa woke up with thoughts of the night before. Her sister walking toward them...Brittany choking Callie...it was all too real.
"Oh, good," A voice said, "You're up."
Melissa looked up at Callie and said, "Don't, Callie. Don't!"
"Not now," Callie told her. "You'd better enjoy today, Melissa. You and Brittany both." With that, she turned and headed out of the room.
"Huh? What did I miss?" Brittany awoke and looked at Melissa, who said grimly, "Callie just came in and said that we'd better enjoy today. Brittany, I just can't believe it. My own sister wants me dead!"
"Calm down," Brittany told her. "We have to get her. We have to stop her." Melissa sighed and said, "I just don't know. I can't believe she wants to kill us! Why?"
Brittany shrugged. Melissa looked at her, hopped out of bed, raced out the door-and gave a huge scream.
