"... Is that what you thought I'd say?" She suddenly asked, the panic on her face immediately melting into an expressionless one.
"Of course I knew of the consequences and possible side effects, but like I said, I'll do anything to have him back, even if he doesn't remember me."
"... What do you mean by that?"
"You'll find out soon enough"
Crack...
The lids of both the coffins slowly opened up, letting those inside free. Two identical people got out, the only difference between them was their hair color, one had white hair while the other had black hair
"Gasp... Where am I?" The one with the black hair said as he stood up
"Ugh... My heads throbbing" The other one with the white hair said running his hand through his hair
They both managed to pull themselves out of the coffins then proceeded to stare at us with confused looks.
"Hi, welcome back" Charlotte said as she clapped her hands
"Welcome back to where? What happened?" The white haired one said
"Welcome back to life?" She said
It finally hit them and they turned to look at what they just came out of...
"Holy shit, was I dead?" Black hair said
"Well technically... Yes"
"... How did that happen?"
"There was an accident... Three of you couldn't make it"
"Three?" The white haired boy asked
"Yeah, two of you died and my sister is still at the hospital"
"Oh"
"Wait, I don't get it. If we're dead, how are we standing here right now?" White hair asked
"How am I supposed to know that? You guys just got up. Oh and, you're Duke and you are Michael" She said pointing at the black haired guy then at the white haired one.
"Um, excuse me? Hello? There are actual people standing here~" They heard a voice and looked over to find Sally and the others just looking at them with disbelief
"Who are you guys? Wait, who are you?" Michael asked turning to Charlotte
"Oh, forgot to introduce myself. My name is Charlotte" she replied
"Okay... What about you guys?"
"There is no way I am reintroducing myself to you, so you just have to get your memories back" Sally said
"...Why don't we take a quick trip to the hospital?" Cal' said
"... Wait, how long have we been dead?" Michael asked
"About 30 minutes?" Charlotte replied
"30 minutes... And we were already in coffins, something doesn't add up"
"Now that you mentioned it, something's wrong here. Charlotte, why do I get the feeling you guys don't know each other?" Duke asked
"That's because we don't know her! She just appeared and stabbed Lizzie, now she's in the hospital fighting for her life!" Gwen said with tears in her eyes
"How could you accuse me of stabbing my own sister!?"
"She is not your sister girl! We literally don't know you!"
"How could you say that to me!?"
"Girl, none of us know who the f*ck you are, you showed up and just stabbed her then sat here like some sort of psychopath!"
"You, what- what is wrong with you!?" Charlotte yelled and at this point Gwen was on the verge of losing her mind
"What is wrong with YOU!? Seriously, what is your problem!?"
"Hold up ladies, before your fight let me just get this straight. So basically, they don't know you and you don't know them considering the fact that you don't know her name. You showed up, stabbed their friend, and you probably did something to us which made us like this, so first question, who are you? Second, what the f*ck did you do to us?"
"I didn't- I ... I did it for you"
"... Excuse me?"
"Yes, I read in the book, it said 'To get the lost back, the blood of the doppelganger is needed. The lost one shall be reborn.' That's why I did it"
"What book?"
"The diary of M&S"
"Magical and supernatural creatures..."
"Yes, that book. That's why I needed his blood" She said turning to a confused Mikey
"I am so lost" He said
Ignoring him, Gwen turned back to Charlotte
"But then, why stab Lizzie?"
"I got scared!"
"You got scared?"
"Yeah, have you seen us together? We look exactly the same. Haven't you heard, if you meet your doppelganger, one of you dies, I don't wanna die"
"So you chose to kill her instead"
"I stabbed her with a life crystal, she wouldn't die, she will only feel the pain"
"That's more than enough reason to hate you"
"You don't know what it means to be alone, do you?"
"What does that mean?" Gwen asked
"To be alone. For years I was alone, no family, no friends, nothing, all alone. He was the only one left! The only thing left! And I lost him too. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt like a cursed person, because everything and anything I have ever loved and cared for always seemed to die, without fail, without exception everything!" Charlotte yelled, and at this point tears were streaming down her face like a broken dam
"So, forgive me if I put your little friend in danger to get one thing back. Distancing yourself from others so you don't bring them doom, and being alone for so many years messes with your head" she said and ran off crying
"That got sentimental fast" Duke said
"Seriously?"
"Cough... I'll go check on her" He said walking in the direction she ran in.
...
Coming to a stop, Crouching. Charlotte leaned her back against a tree and cried
"Stupid, stupid, so stupid" she repeated hitting herself on the head
"You said you wouldn't cry again. What are you doing to yourself, they probably see you as a crybaby now. Stupid so stupid" she said hutting herself, when someone held her hand
"Don't do that" Duke said holding on to her hand
"Don't hurt yourself, it's okay to cry when it has gotten too much, you can't always be strong" He lowered himself to her level and hugged her
"Let it all out, don't bottle it up" her said letting her cry on his shoulder.
