Chelsea stood there, Oliver stepped closer and Chelsea screamed more. "Get the fuck away from me! What the hell are you?!" Chelsea wiped the tears and she watched as Olivers face returned back to normal, his blue eyes returned to their normal colour and he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Chelsea... I can-"
"You're a monster." Chelsea cried out and ran away, into the trees and back to the party. The vicious giggle from Alex who was sitting on a tree branch broke the deafening silence around Oliver.
"Are you happy now?" Oliver spat out and watched as Alex jumped down.
"I knew you weren't going to do anything yet so I took matters into my own hands."
"Her ex boyfriend... You made me kill her ex boyfriend."
"No, you did that yourself, I just wanted Tommy to show Chelsea who you really are. A monster." Alex giggled and then was thrown against the large tree she was sitting on. "Okay so I admit, I deserved that but listen everything will be fine now."
"Nothing will be fine." Oliver grunted and shouted at her before stalking away through the trees.
"Hey where are you going?" Alex called.
"Leave me alone, Alexandra." Oliver called back and left the scene.
"So I'm left to clear up his mess." Alex grunted and kicked Tommy's body just to make sure he was dead, yep dead as a doornail. "God sake. I'm always the hero in these situations." Alex chuckled to herself as she pulled Tommy's leg and dragged him through the forest and flung him in the water, clapping her hands together to get mud of her palms and Alex fled the scene.

Chelsea blubbered and cried hard in her hands, Zoey sat next to her by the road. "I just want to go home." Chelsea cried harder, wiping her tears with her sleeve.
"What's happened Chels?" Chelsea sat silent for a good few minutes, contemplating saying what she saw. But she needed to know what it was that she saw first.
"I saw Oliver kissing someone else." She lied but still cried.
"Oh my god. What the hell he's such a jerk! Girl I'm sorry."
"It's okay.. I kinda saw it coming... Zo, I'm gonna go."
"Did you want me to take you home?"
"No no it's fine. I'll walk." Chelsea got up from the floor and dusted off her clothes.
"It's quite far."
"After tonight, I need all the time at the moment." Chelsea hugged her, and pecked her cheek. "I'll call soon." Chelsea slowly turned and started along the road, walking home.

As Chelsea walked down the road, she heard a voice coming from the trees. "God sake, I'm getting my new boots ruined for him... Can't believe he just left me I thought the plan went well... now it backfired." Chelsea walked closer to the voice and cleared her throat. Alex jumped and stared at her. "Oh hello."
"Alex? Is it?" Alex nodded. "Why did you tell me to follow you?"
"You needed to know."
"Know what?"
"What you were getting yourself into when you are dating Oliver." Chelsea folded her arms and stayed quiet. "He really wanted to wait to tell you, when you were both ready... But I decided to tell you because it's getting closer."
"Closer?"
"To more complicated things." Alex stepped forward. "I don't expect you to agree when I say this was the best decision for you."
"It feels as if I'm talking to a mirror." Chelsea spontaneously said and Alex nodded in agreement.
"Same."
"Can we speak tomorrow?" Chelsea asked her.
"About what?" Alex cocked an eyebrow and smirked a little.
"I can't just carry on with my life like nothing has happened. You wanted me to find out and now I want to know."
"Why don't you wait until Oliv-"
"No. That's too long. Meet me in the bar tomorrow noon. We'll talk then." Chelsea nodded and walked off.

"Would you like a drink Chelsea?" One of the waitresses asked her and she was sitting in the booth.
"Yeah I'll have a coffee please."
"Okay... what was you and Lola talking about the other night?"
"What?"
"It seemed like you guys were in a really deep conversation."
"Hmm... Oh yeah it was regarding the exam we just finished."
"Oh okay. I'll just go get your drink." The waitress spoke and walked off. Chelsea looked over to the door as saw Alex stroll in, Chelsea glanced at the clock at nodded.
"Good afternoon Chelsea."
"Alex."
"What's with the attitude?"
"I've got a lot of questions."
"Okay then."
"Here Chelsea your- oh my god. You have a twin?" Chelsea cleared her throat and kicked Alex underneath the table.
"Yeah, I'm from Wisconsin."
"Oh really? My nana lives there. What part?"
"Um... a really big part." Alex grimaced and waitress looked at her before grinning and walking away.
"'Um... A really big part' Really?"
"What I couldn't think of anything. I don't live in one place to know these things." Alex sighed and then tapped her fingers on the table. "So what do you want to know?" Chelsea breathed into the mug of coffee and placed it back on the table. " I don't have all day you know..."
"Firstly I want to know about us, how do we look exactly alike?" Alex huffed and then looked like her in the eyes.
"I've haven't got a clue, I know it's something nifty thing witches and warlocks do to I don't know, I guess make their lives more entertaining."
"Are there anymore?"
"Of us?" Chelsea nodded. "god I hope not, since I'm the pretty one and everything... They kinda just scrambled you up in the process."
"We look exactly alike... you can't say that."
"I can and I just did. I'm the hotter one."
"Woah, maybe your ego could be another one of us."
"Maybe." Alex sniggered. "Anything else?"
"What are you doing with my friends? Why do you want to know about Isabelle."
"In this life Chelsea, you have to open your eyes wide and see from every angle because you have many enemies. I'm trying to get rid of one that I met a 3 centuries ago."
Chelsea gulped her coffee down and held the top of her throat as the hot liquid seared its way down. "Centuries?" Alex nodded. "How old are you?"
"I'm 500 years old. I've been trying to catch the little bitch for years. But she's smart you see, too smart for my liking."
"You're 500 years old..." Chelsea gasped. "But you look 23."
"Precisely that's the beauty of being immortal."
"Immortal?" Chelsea shook. Alex leaned forward and grabbed hold of Chelsea's hair, yanking her forward.
"I'm a vampire sweetie." She let go of Chelsea's hair and pushed her back.
"V-vampire... they aren't real."
"Yeah yeah, you said exactly the same before. Now let's get this straight... if they weren't real I wouldn't be here, certainly not sitting here giving you my whole life story."
"Okay wait... It's just so much to take in."
"Oy Vey." Alex face palmed herself and clicked her tongue to the roof of her mouth making a clocking sound. "Okay I'll say it again slowly..."
"Okay..."
"One.. Vampires are real. Two.. I'm a vampire doppelgänger. Three.. You are my doppelgänger and that means you are supernatural. Four.. Your best friend isn't living with her aunt, she has left because someone is chasing her." Chelsea breathed out and then stared at Alex.
"Wait what was number four? What did you say about Isabelle."
"Oh you heard that." Alex chuckled.
"You think this is some sort of joke."
"No listen. The reason Isabelle left town was because after her parents died, someone came after her meaning she had to leave."
"And you know this, how?"
"Honey, news in the supernatural world spreads easily." Chelsea's phone started buzzing on the table and Chelsea glanced at the name flashing on the screen before ignoring it, letting it continue to ring. "Not picking it up?" Chelsea shook her head.
"I can't talk to him yet, it's too early."
"Yet you've been listening and taking in what I'm telling you... how is it any different?"
"It's a little bit more complicated than you and me talking." Chelsea snapped back and Alex held up her hands.
"Hardly. The only reason that all happened last night was because of me."
"I know... But I can't face him yet. I'll do it when I'm ready."
"I know Oliver Chelsea very well..."
"Why because you two had a thing!" Chelsea immediately snapped and Alex laughed out loud.
"Is this why you think I'm back here, for Oliver?" Alex laughed viciously. "Honey, Oliver and I didn't have anything."
"Then how do you know him."
"I'll let him tell you that, when you guys talk. It's not my story to tell. I've told you what I'm here for and that's all I got. Now I've got to get going..."
"Really?"
"Yeah I'm hungry..." Alex tapped her tummy and chuckled lightly.
"Why don't you get something in here?" Alex looked at Chelsea and raised her eyebrows. "Oh yeah how stupid of me. I forgot."
"Can I just say how amazed I am that you didn't scream when I told you the truth... It's amazing. I can tell you are part of my family... Strong willed. I'll see you around." Alex gracefully got up from the booth and walked off out the door of the bar, leaving Chelsea sitting there by herself.

Chelsea went home and sat down in the lounge, her parents were at work and Sophie was out with her friends, since she had finished school for the semester. Her phone buzzed but she let it ring out. A voice message came through a few minutes after and Chelsea held up her phone to her ear.
"Chelsea, it's Oliver. I'm truly sorry what you saw the other night and I can't imagine that you would forgive me. I got riled up, I was angry and I took it out on you. I'm so sorry, I really want to explain myself can we meet up? Call me. Ollie." The message ended and Chelsea put the phone down by her side. She got up and decided to make dinner for the family.

A good few hours later, her parents had returned home from work and Sophie returned back from her friends and they all sat at the table eating dinner. "Wow, Chelsea this tastes really good." her father praised her.
"I totally agree Chelsea this is the best you've made." Chelsea smiled warmly before playing around with vegetables on her plate, scooting each green bean and carrot with her fork. "Honey are you alright?" Her mother asked her, and Chelsea looked up. "Is it Oliver?" Chelsea nodded. "what's he done?"
"We're just going through a tough patch at the minute."
"Baby, if he's been horrible to you, I'll go and kill him." Her father spoke and made Chelsea laughed.
"No it's nothing like that dad. I'm tired guys, I'm going to go bed. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Chelsea picked her plate and put it on the side, walking upstairs to her room and shutting the door behind her.
"Chelsea's really fallen for him, Pete." her mother whispered.
"How do you know?"
"Because she's the same, when I was her age and we had that massive row."
"Oh Christine. Our babies are growing up." Christine nodded and smiled gently.
"I just hope they've not rushed into things."
