The clock was ticking and I couldn't even move a muscle to try and stop it! I cannot believe that my own flesh and blood are thinking about hurting my parents!
I heard screeching tires from the distance and I started to panic! Who was that?! Are the leaving me here alone?! I tried setting myself free but there was definitely no use.
I started look around the room, and thank the Lord that the chair had wheels on it because it gave me some sort of mobility.
I slid myself to the left side of the room trying to fine something that I could use to untie these ropes.

I couldn't open any of the drawers with my legs, so I stopped fidgeting, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and started thinking happy thoughts.
Jaycee.
Mom.
Dad.
Brenda.
Sabrina.
Aaron.
Ashton.
Jace.
I took on more deep breath, and with one powerful and pull, I broke free from the rope. It left such an ugly scar on my wrist.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
I looked back at the screen and the timer is still counting down to the eminent doom of my family. I decided to mute the volume so I can focus more. I went to open the door, but as usual, it was locked and it was awfully quiet outside. A little more than usual.
Something doesn't feel right. It never did, but I mean, now it's worse.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
What on earth is that sound? I thought I muted the beeping sound.
Beep.
Beep.
Wait. That isn't coming from the screen. It sounds like it's coming from inside the room. My heart dropped to my damn ankles. What?! What the hell is going on??
I started panicking, and started rummaging through the desks and drawers around the screens but found nothing. I looked under the desk and outside the door(through the peephole) and still found nothing. Out of complete and utter frustration, I slammed my hands down on the board and the beeping sound - surprisingly - stopped. Not only did the slamming stop the beeping, but it opened up a video of some sort.
Without touching anything, the screen showed a video of someone. After a few more seconds, I came to the conclusion that the person on the video was CJ.
What the hell did he want now??
He looked broken and battered up. There were black bags under his eyes, his eyeballs were bloodshot; he looked like crap. Basically.
After putting my ear to the door and listening, making sure no one was out there, I started pressing random buttons until it played. I laid back on my chair, clearly never prepared to what I was about to hear.
The date stamp on the video read December 20, 2015. This was only shot yesterday.
I took a deep breathe, and pressed play again.
"Just for the record, my name is CJ... Carleton James Walker. Up until a few months ago, I didn't even know who my birth parents were, or what my birth name was. Not anymore though. My birth name happens to be Francis Daniel Pierce, son of Jared and Vanessa Pierce, twin brother to a wonderful and incredible girl called Alexis Pierce. She is the same girl to whom this video is directed to."
He paused, to collect his thoughts. A few seconds later, he took a deep breathe, ran his hands through his hair and continued.
"Lexi, I'm sorry. I know this apology is basically nothing compared to what I did to you but you have to hear me out. I didn't want to be a part of any of this. I was only in it to protect you little sis, and trust me, anything that ever happened, was because I was trying to protect you. Hear me out.
The first day you came into grade nine, I felt a weird connection with you. We're both alike, both physically and mentally, our appearances are similar as well. I didn't know what it was but I knew that I had to protect you at all costs. I tried that for 3 years, but come our senior year, everything changed.
That beginning of this school year, I was approached by someone who claimed to be my uncle. He showed me a lot of things that got me convinced; he even showed me who made my necklace and when. From the many stories he told me, he also told me how I ended up being a so called orphan. He told me how my own parents abandoned me, and then killed the only person who would've taken them to me."
He paused to wipe a few tears that flooded down his face. He took a sip of water then continued.
"I felt anger. I felt betrayed. But most of all, I felt abandoned; broken. My own parents are alive and well, and I had to live the beginning of my life in an orphanage. I was even more surprised to know that I had a twin. You. I know you didn't know anything so I still feel responsible for you, even more so now that I found out you were my actual twin.
One day, he told me about his plan to kill you and make your parents sorry for anything they ever did to both of us. At first, I wanted to decline the offer because I could never hurt you! But then I realized that this plan was in action whether or not I was involved. So I accepted; but only to stop them from hurting you.
The incident in the basement with Brad, it was I who injected you with the spider venom. I'm really sorry about that, by the way. Since I couldn't just stay there are watch you die, I took you to the hospital right away. Since I basically messed it up and you were still alive, Blake decided to stage a grand entrance into the spirit world so he could have all the time to plan your murder. That was him who tried the carbon monoxide poisoning thing because he knew that Jaycee was driving you after your incident. You being the smart person that you are escaped again.
A while after that, they told me that I had to break in to your house and steal my birth certificate because I doubted them about them being my parents. That's how I got the scratch on my hand that you saw. When I told them that I wanted out, they threatened to report me to the police and that they have all the evidence to incriminate me for attempted murder. The last thing they tried was to kill you when we went to the safe house, but Sebastian saved you. Apparently they found you because they tracked my phone to the house. When we got to the hospital, Blake already hired two guys to bring you to us instead. And in case you were wondering, Blake and Lucas are apparently twins who were separated at birth. I'm sure you didn't know that as well. I had to treat you the way I did just so I could stay in character, because we're in the middle of nowhere, so if they suspected that I wasn't on their side, I'd be dead in a heartbeat. It really killed me screaming at you and seeing you cry..."
He stopped abruptly to look at this watch, and looked towards his left.
"I don't have much time left and so do you. By the time I'm done, you'll have about thirty minutes to try and get out of the house before it burns to the ground. I'm sorry I put you through any of this. I put a hair pin on your hair so try to unlock the door and a week ago I let Jesse stick a phone to the bottom of your bed. Get out right now before it explodes! I'll send this to the police so that Blake and Lucas can be taken care.."
I heard someone call him off screen, telling him to leave.
"I gotta go little sis, but I promise, this isn't goodbye. Please take care of yourself. I love you. Bye."
Then the screen went blank. The the annoying beeping sound started again, continuing the countdown from where it left off; T minus thirty minutes.
Beep.
I can't believe that CJ knew about this all along.
Beep.
I can't believe I blamed him.
Beep.
He was trying to protect me.
Beep.
Oh God I'm gonna die if I don't move my butt now.
I searched frantically for the pin in my head and when I found it, I tried unlocking the door.
So that's why the house seems quite; they're all gone! But they left me here to rot. Oh my God I'm going to die!
The door unlocked after what seemed like ages.
I exited the room but was greeted by heavy smoke. Oh God the first started. I ran to my room, since I saw the open door. I ran inside, collected everything, and got the phone. I sent a message to my parents warning them about the bomb and ran towards the stairs.
The smoke was very thick, and my breathing was becoming very uneven. I was lost in a house that isn't my own and I can't seem to see anything.
Just as I saw the door and was about to head its way, a huge wooden part of the ceiling fell on me, blinding my vision and making it hard for me to move.
I was coughing and coughing, trying to escape from it but I couldn't.
So I gave up.
If I'm going to die here, today, so be it.
I'm done running from death.
As more smoke filled my lungs, I started to slip into unconsciousness.
Before I completely blacked out, I heard someone calling my name. I looked up and found...
"Jaycee..?" I whispered, unable to properly speak.
"It's me baby girl." He said, as he tried to pry off the thing on top of me with his free hand. Someone else came and helped him.
"You need help you moron!" I heard someone say. Jace.
"Well then help her before we're all shish kebabs please! Come on princess, please stay with me.
"Your mom is going to go apeshit crazy on your behind when she discovers you're out playing antman."
"Get out of here! You're going to suffocate." I said, at the brink of dying.
"I'm going to get you out of here baby. Don't worry."
I just nodded my head at this point, too weak to even speak.
I don't know what happened after that, but I woke up - yes on this earth - with wires all in me, and a breathing mask on my face, to the screaming of a very familiar voice. The last thing I heard before I completely blacked out was:
"Ma'am unless you're family, you can't come in!!"
"Like hell I can young lady! I raised that girl."
"I'm sorry ma'am but this is protocol."
"Then you leave me no choice."
"What do you mean. Ma'am what are you getting out? SECURITY!"
"Oh calm down little girl, its a badge. Annabelle Higgins, FBI."
