It's the day after Christmas, and let's just say I'm sorta recovering from an overdose of sugar. Trudy's treat were amazing, but they were loaded with sugar. Thank god there was no school today, I could actually have a decent amount of sleep. Oh, wait, I have a twin. Never mind.

I hear my door open in the morning, I groan tiredly

"What?" I put my pillow over my head

"Get up." Kayla hisses

"I swear to god, if this is about your commitment issues..." I say annoyed

"Commitment issues?" Kayla asks, offended

"Look, we all know you and AJ are meant to be together and you just can't admit it." I roll my eyes

"And now you can shut up, too." I hear Sarah say

I take the pillow off my head and peek open my eye. Sure enough, their both standing over my bed

"Get up." Kayla demands

"Fine" I say and stand up "what is it?"

"Oh, you know, just that my life could be at stake." Sarah looks at me

"What?" My eyes get bigger and my mouth drops open

"Lucas Danae. Do you know the name?" Kayla asks

"Not Lucas, but Danae yes. Sophia Danae." I think back to when Sarah and I were children "Remember the tale? The one about the girl and the pyramid we were told we where younger?"

"Sophia. Lucas's sister." Kayla whispers

"But Lucas is a real person. One that could end my life. Sophia was just a bed-time story and a fable about greed." Sarah shakes her head

"Look, I don't know much about this..." I look between the girls "But what if it wasn't? What if this is all connected."

"It can't be." Sarah looks like she's back at me

I grab my laptop, sit at my desk and boot it up. The girls stand behind me as I type in 'Sophia Danae'. I click Wikipedia and scroll down to the 'Early Death' section.

" 'Sophia Danae, went missing, at age 16, on Saturday, June 1st, 2013, just two days after she arrived at her new boarding school. A pool of substantial amount of blood was found at the Alchemist Clearing, that night. The students who reported her missing that day said they knew nothing. There has no evidence to prove otherwise. The blood was tested, and five days later, the blood was found to match hers. She was pronounced dead due to how much blood. Her body was never found.' " I read off the website

"June 1st, that's when Fabian and Alfie and everyone graduated. Sophia went to this school. Alchemist Clearing is a quarter mile down the road. Oh god, the students... Were two of our parents as the rest of our friends parents, as well." Sarah realizes

"C'mon. Alchemist Clearing, now. I need to see this myself." I say "I need to scope for evidence, even after all these years."

The walk was silent and awkward. Especially because I and the girls were all in pajamas, slippers and hoodies. When we get there. It was perfectly still. The birds were chirping in the early December morning. It seemed as if nothing happened all that time ago.

I start to search around a bit

"There's nothing here."

Then I notice a bend in the trees, almost creating a natural tunnel and a worn down, but old path. "Yes, there is." I wave them over

We go through the small tunnel, on the old path, where we come to another, smaller clearing. In the middle, the stone pyramid, I always was told about by dad at story when I was little. And just a few feet, a statue of a beautiful girl, on her knees, her arms raised to the heavens, her head tilted back and raised, another reminder of my favorite childhood stories.

Sarah crosses her arms over her chest for warmth and goes to the pyramid. She put her hand on the side and bends down. "I always thought dad had the best imagination, to create such a legend, but it was actually just his graduation story." She walks over to Sophia "and the girl, over run by madness and the will to have power, and it ruined her. I always felt sorry for her."

I go and put my arm around my sister, side-hugging her. "I know. I'm sorry this is happening."

"We thought is was just some result of imagination, but it actually is going to kill me." She whisper

"No, it's not going to be your death, Sarah. Were here for you even if it means protecting you from some evil Egyptian guy." Kayla comes to Sarah's other side and takes her hand

"I have to go. I can't handle this. Come back when you need to. Look around if you need any more evidence or stuff like that." Sarah tells us and releases herself from our grips, and rushes back to the house

Kayla moves closer to me, shoulder to shoulder, I look down

"Do you really think I like AJ? And that I'm just afraid of commitment?" She ask

"I really do. I think you really like him. I think you and him could be a thing. Your just too afraid to admit it, that you like him, and you actually have feelings... And a heart." I look at her

She turns turn and looks me in the eye

"If I did, I really did, I wouldn't do this." She replied

Then she stood on her tip toes and kissed me.
