I walked away from that tree and never looked back. I didn't know why I did what I did or why I heard voices but I knew I needed to figure it out. I heard a near by rustling. "Mama what is the human covered in?" this voice was heard from a bush on my right. It sounded like a young boy. I walked over to the bush and knelt in front of it. I pushed the bush apart and it revealed two small grey bunnies. "Do you think she can see us?" asked the little bunny. "Of course I can why wouldn't I be able to?" I asked.
"We are spirits of the forest that you are in. Not many humans are able to see us. " said the bigger bunny. "I'm Bumi it's nice to meet you!" said the little bunny. He rasied his tiny paw as if to shake hands like humans did. This earned a tsk from the bigger buny at what I assumed was her son's behavior. "You really shouldn't be so forth to a stranger but..." she sighed "My name is Bianca it's nice to meet you" she said"Well my name is Bethany and it is my pleasure to have met you but I really must be on my way...I am just really hungry and would like to go find food now" I said letting Bumi take hold of my finger and shake it.
"We have carrots at home! Would you like some? I'll go get them for you." Bumi hopped off and his mother sighed "Come with me" she said hopping after him and I ran behind her. For bunnies they were incredibaly fast. I was out of breath when we arrived at a medium sized hole under a tree. I spotted a lake nearby "Do you mind if I wash up?' I asked Bianca and she shook her head and I walked over to it. I decided to just jump in and wash my clothes at the same time. When I walked back to the hole Bumi stood on his hind legs with three big carrots lying in front of him. "Thank you very much" I said picking them up. I stood there in akwardness for a minute.
"Well aren't you going to eat them?" Bumi asked "Oh! Uh yeah!" I sat down and began eating one of the carrots. "Do you like them?" Bianca asked and I nodded "Good" came a voice behind me and everything went black. I opened my eyes allowing a bright white light to fill my vision. Everything was blurry at first but eventually everthing cleared. Diego stood in front of me. His cimson eyes gazing into my black and red ones. Red hot blood leaked from my eyes and poured down the sides of my face. "Today...is a good day my sweet Bethany." he smiled at me.
"I order you to bow before me" Diego said with a smirk. My head tilted but I made no move to do as he demanded. "Now!" he said with a frown apparent on his face. I knelt in front of him with a blank face. "Good. You will do as I say from this day on and-" I cut him off. "You think you can control me? A weakling like you will do no such thing." my voice was foreign to my ears. It was similart to my voice but...definetly not the same. "I have in the past!" he said with a smug smirk "You are successful because I allow you to be." I smirked and watched him step back in surprise "What? What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Come now...don't tell me you actually thought controlling me would be that easy...oh ho ho my dear Diego are you afraid? Your practically bathing in your own tears" it was true. Diego had started tearing up for some odd reason "Where is Bethany? I want my darling Bethany. I need her not you!" he said shaking. "Oooh but I am Bethany...and Bethany is me. We are one...even in her human days we were one and the same. Always together even at birth." what was wrong with me? Why was I saying these things?
"I allowed you to control me because I knew it would make things more interesting. And I was right..." my head tilted back with a laugh and I rose to stand at my full height. I was a bit shorter than Diego. The top of my head was directly below his chin. "I want the Bethany from before! The sweet Bethany I remember meeting!" he said backing up. I stailked towards him water raising from thin air behind me. The water splashed forward swirving around me and curling around Diego's body tightly. "I died before I could experiance life." said a girl that looked just like me. She stood beside Diego but I could tell he couldn't see her. "Do you not remember me Bethany? We were always together. Born on the same exact day." My brows furrowed at her words. I did not know anyone who looked like me. "Do you not remember what our dear mummy told us about the day we were born?" my eyes widened at her words. An image of my mother flashed through my vision. "You were such a beautiful baby Bethany. I knew you were speacial the very second I saw you." my mother had said. "But then...your sister came and she was...she was stillborn sweetie. Your sister Bailey was stillborn. It was so hard...her loss hit your father and I with such force. I just wish you could have met her" my eyes widened.
Bailey...my twin...was inside of me. "My dear big sis...we are together always. I would never leave you. Kill this malipulative man, his creations, that vile brother of ours and his idiotic friends. Only then can we truly be together." Bailey appeared at my side with a small smile. "Don't you want to be with me? We'll do everything together like we would have if I wasn't stillborn!" she pointed my now electrified hand at Diego. "Kill them. Kill them all." electricty shot out of my hand and engulfed Diego in a blinding light.
