The twins' parents arrived at the police station an hour later. Chris was giving his statement.

When Mary and Carl Berley walked into the station, they immediately glared at Kyle as if he was the killer. They said they could accept them for their daughter, but now that their daughter was dead it didn't really matter for them. I don't think they meant it even when Ellie was alive. The just wanted to get her back home for their damn reputation. You know, because Carl Berley is the school's principal. Most parents would say that if he can't discipline his own daughter, he is not fit to run a school. He could possibly lose his job.

Personally, I don't find being the principal at the Clonies High School a big achievement.

«You did this, didn't you?» Mary hissed at Kyle.

«Kyle was with us the whole time and Chris saw the killer.» I replied before Kyle could say anything. It's disgusting how the Berleys changed their view on a kid they knew since he was born just because they found out he wasn't straight. Suddenly, one of the nicest kids they knew became their daughter's killer.

«Who did it then? Who killed my baby girl?» Mary inquired, sobbing.

«You wouldn't believe us if we told you.» Jon replied. His eyes were red from the crying and his voice was hoarse. Kyle and Chris looked worse than all of us.

«And why is that?» Carl asked us.

«Jessie Shane.» Kyle told them. He kept staring at a wall and didn't bother to look away from it to talk to the Berleys.

«That's impossible, Jessie died a month ago. The villain killed her.» Carl replied, obviously annoyed at the reply.

«No, she's not. We saw her a few days ago.» I hissed. I was so mad at almost everything and everyone. The Berleys, Jessie, Jasmine. I hated them.

But most of all, I hated myself. I blamed myself. Maybe if we had all been there when Jessie attacked Felicia, she would have chickened out.

But we weren't there, and that was because of the most stupid thing; I wasn't ready for a bloody party.

And that got one of my best friends killed.

«Yeah, right.» Mary hissed and walked away with her husband.

«How the hell are we going to make the cops believe Jessie is alive?» Jon asked.

«I don't know.» I shook my head. «Kyle? Any ideas?» I asked Kyle.

«I need to go to the bathroom.» he said and rushed away. I sighed.

«Maybe I should just show my tattoo. There's no danger of the villain finding out now, she already knows.» I rambled.

«Jinxie, you were uncomfortable with showing it since the beginning. Besides, you would have to give away Jessie and Jasmine's tattoos too and that's exactly what we decided against.» he relied.

«I know, but if it gets Chris off the suspect list... We all know he's the primary suspect. Scowlman has had me and Chris at the top of that list for weeks. Chris was alone at home with Ellie, the real murderer is supposed to be dead... I mean, there's not much we can do.»

«Look, you're right. You can tell the cops.» he shrugged.

«Why can I sense a "but" coming?» I asked.

«Because there is one coming. What if one of them tells the public? Scowlman has done stuff like that before.»

«Stuff like what, Mr Blake?» detective Scowlman asked from behind us. I hate that guy.

«Oh, I don't know... Maybe showing pictures of innocent people on the TV and accusing them of murder while they're grieving? And without their permission, I may add.» Jon replied to him.

«People needed to know.» he hissed.

«Seriously? You had no evidence, all this happened on a hunch!» I yelled at him. Jon had to hold me back.

«When I have a hunch, I'm usually right.» he sneered.

«That's because you don't look at the evidence. If you checked the timeline, you would know that we were all together apart from Jasmine who was sleeping upstairs. Alone. She had no alibi. When Cole Daniel was found dead, she was the one outside his office. No more than two weeks ago, I had a fight with her and a few hours later I was stabbed. Now, I think that's pretty incriminating.» I snapped.

«Jinxie, relax.» Jon tried to call me down.

«Wait... You're with her, aren't you? You're with Jasmine. That's why you've been accusing of the wrong people. You're covering for her.» I muttered. He started sweating nervously.

«What? I don't understand what you're talking about.» he covered. «I have more important things to do than talk with two teenagers.» he said "teenagers" the same way one would say "murderers".

I raised the middle finger at him as he walked away.

«Jinxie?» Jon asked.

«What?»

«Have you been having nightmares again?»

«Wh- no.» I lied.

«Really?» he raised an eyebrow.

«Yeah.»

«Why do I not believe you?»

«Jonny, I'm not having nightmares again, simply because I haven't stopped having them. And now, they're not just bad dreams. They're becoming reality.»

«Don't you want to talk about it?»

«No.» I said firmly.

«Are you s--»

«I said no.»

«Fine... Sorry.» he muttered. He looked disappointed.

«It's okay... I know I have been a little stand-offish lately...»

«Is Chris still in for questioning?» Kyle asked out of nowhere. «And before you ask, I've been here for about five minutes.» he added. He looked a little better.

I felt bad we hadn't noticed him, but he seemed unfazed by that.

«We didn't see him come out...» I frowned.

«It wouldn't surprise me; you didn't see me standing next to you.» he shrugged.

«Sorry about that...» Jon cringed.

«Nah, it's okay.» Kyle shook his head. He looked like he wanted to say something more, but he just smirked and kept quiet. I think was nice to see he was holding up after what happened.

Chris appeared down the hall and we rushed to talk to him.

«What happened?» Kyle asked him.

«They say I have no alibi and no way to prove I'm not the killer, but there's not any evidence either. I told them about Jessie, but they don't believe me.» he explained. That's exactly what we were afraid was gonna happen. «Why do stuff like this keep happening to us?» he asked. I sighed.

«We need to talk...» I rubbed my forehead.

«What about?» Kyle frowned.

«I haven't been completely honest with you about my tattoo. Jasmine pretty much gave everything away, but he haven't really talked about it.» I sighed. «We've been targeted from the beginning because I was the savior. I should have told you. Maybe you would have been more prepared. I didn't say anyone because I didn't know who to trust; anyone could have been the villain. It just turned out that the villain knew all along and was a step ahead.» I ranted.

«You don't have to justify yourself. I don't play such a huge part and I didn't say anything either.» Chris replied.

«Felicia knew. Jon too. I haven't told Claire.» I sighed. We didn't get the chance to talk about it any further because it was my turn to give a statement.

I said everything I knew and everything I had seen. I was with Jon and Claire, who could confirm my alibi. Ben was also in the house.

In the end we were free to go home.

When I walked in the living room, I saw Pearl sitting with Ben and my sister. Kyle's brother, Michael, was also there.

«Jinx! Where have you been?» Claire asked.

«Right... I didn't tell you... I was at the police station, giving a statement. Felicia was murdered.» I said weakly.

«What?!» everyone shot up.

«What happened? How? Who did it?» Ben asked. I sighed.

«I need to tell you some stuff. It's pretty serious.» I ran my hand through my hair.

«We can come back tomorrow. I have to talk with my brother, anyway.» Michael said and stood up.

«Yeah, me too.» Pearl said and wiped a tear away. They both rushed out of the house. I took a deep breath again.

«Jessie is alive.»

«This isn't funny, Jinx.» Claire glared at me.

«I'm not kidding. Just hear me out, okay?» I asked them. I sat opposite them and started explaining everything. «It all started at the revealing ceremony.» I unraveled the bandage around my tattoo and showed it to them. My sister gasped. Ben gave me a sad look. «We all needed a break after that. I've been having nightmares. Jon was the first person I told. I was having nightmares when we were away and he asked what was wrong. The next day we found Jessie. Felicia was a lover, she had told the police. Kyle is a a survivor. Jon shoed me his tattoo, he's the hero. The evidence was there from the beginning. We just chose to ignore it.»

«What do you mean?» Ben asked. Claire had teary eyes.

«Jasmine was the only one that was all alone when we found Jessie. We were all together, but she had gone upstairs to sleep. When we found Cole, she had been the one waiting outside his door. We had agreed that he would give me all the previous villain files to help me find out who it was this time. The night I got stabbed? We had had a fight a few hours before. When the school got poisoned she had called in sick. Kyle was becoming suspicious and we decided that Ellie and I would go out with Jax while the guys searched the house. We returned early and Jasmine caught us. That'd when she told me about the adoption papers and that she was my twin and about her tattoo. That's when Jessie walked in the room. She is the traitor. She and Jax have been a couple for a while now but we didn't know. Jax killed her parents because they were abusive.» I explained.

«So you're saying that Jessie, whom we mourned and had a funeral for is alive and in cahoots with the villain, who also happens to be your next door neighbor who was given for adoption when you two were born?» Claire asked in disbelief.

«Jessie killed Felicia. Chris saw her jump out the kitchen window when he found her. I'm not crazy, okay? We just all agreed that we wouldn't tell you. Jax and Jessie almost killed us two days ago.»

«I get that you're under a lot of stress, but--» Ben started.

«I'm telling the truth. I'm not crazy. I know I sound like it but I'm not. Ask the others, they were there too.» I urged them.

«Jinx...» my sister said. I just shook my head and ran upstairs.

I knew I wasn't crazy, but why couldn't they get it too? I knew it was all too much to take, but I really needed them to believe me.

And they did, the very next day, when they saw the news.

Jessie had gone to the police station with Jasmine.

Detective Scowlman was dead, and so were ten more cops. Five civilians and three cops were in the hospital.

You keep hearing about girls going on shopping sprees. These girls went on a killing spree.
