Ch-2: I Have a Plan

She looked and sounded just like me. Same white hair, same green eyes, same voice, same smile, same nose and everything. It was like a reflection of mine. But she has to be lying or is horribly mistaken because, "But my name is Laurel Johnson." She said, "I promise you I will not harm you and no, I am not lying or am horribly mistaken. I just need to rest a little before I can explain everything." "Okay, I trust you but I still have my knife. Try anything, and you will know just how sharp my knife is. I may not be able to kill you but can certainly injure you." I said showing her my knife. "O...kay, thank you for the threat on my life. Now, can I rest?" she said.

"No, go get cleaned up first and I will give you my extra PJs." I said pointing at the bathroom door. "Alright." She said. I gave her my extra set of PJs and she went in the bathroom. She came out after 20 minutes. "Go sit on any of the bean bags." I ordered. She obeyed though looked at me confused. I went in the bathroom and took out my first aid kit. It is Dad's rule that everyone has to keep a first aid kit in their room and it is helpful for me because I constantly go camping or hiking. I went to her and said "Now, show me your left leg. I noticed you were walking with a limp and flinching every time you moved your left leg." "Wow, you have excellent observing eyes." She lifted her pant to her knees and showed me.

There was a chunk missing from her calf, but the amazing thing was, it was already 80% healed and still healing. "That's going to leave a scar. How on earth did you get hurt like this?" I asked her. "Well, I was in a forest before coming here. It was chasing me and almost caught me but I managed to escape but got this too." She explained while I cleaned and bandaged the wound. "How.... How are you doing that, healing yourself that fast?" I asked her. This was not making any sense. As she gave her explanation I had a feeling of déjà vu. I was dreaming about that. How she had the same experience? She is also healing herself that fast. Something is fishy here. "How I am healing myself falls under explaining everything which I only can and will do after a rest. So, tell me what do I have to do now?" she said to me. "Wait, you can't have a lie down just now. We have to spawn a plan so that my family doesn't know anything." Then, a bulb went off in my head.

"I have a plan. You just hide in my closet and don't come out until I tell you to. I will give some spare pillows and you can sleep in there for a while. In the meantime let me do my part." She sighed and said, "Your house, your rules, I guess." I laid one of the spare blankets on the ground of my walk-in closet and gave Emilia a spare pillow and a comforter. "Now listen you will be here. When I come in, you will go sleep on my bed and I will jump out the window and go to school. You will be at home and pretend to be sick, okay?" I told her. "Okay" she said and gave me a thumbs up. I then saw the time it was 4:50 AM. Mom has to be awake now.

I slowly crept down the stairs and peeked at the kitchen. Yep, Mom's there. I put on a sick puppy face. I am a really good actor (NOT BRAGGING). So, except if someone is an expert Legillimens (yeah, I am a big Harry Potter fan) they couldn't know that I am lying. I went to her, as if to take glass to drink water. Mom, seeing me, asked, "Sweetie, why are you up now?" Now, I have like a perfect attendance at school and I rarely get sick enough to skip school. So, with an I-am-really-sick voice, I said, "I was going to ask you if I could stay at home today. I have already thrown up 3 times now and my head is pounding as if someone if hitting the inside with a hammer." She replied, "Okay then. Stay in bed today. If throw up again, call me, I will give you some medicine." "Okay, I am going to sleep now. And no need to call the school now. I'll text Agnes." I replied and went back up to my room.

I shook her lightly to wake her up and Emilia started shrieking, "Noooo...Please..." "Shut up. Don't scream so loudly." I whisper-shouted at her. Shit, I hope Mom didn't hear that. Emilia then opened her eyes and said, "Sorry, I was having a nightmare and didn't realise it was you who shook me." "Come on, get out of the closet and go sleep on the bed. I have to get ready for school." I told her. She flopped down on the bed and went straight to sleep again.
