The Story
It was almost midnight when Grace heard someone knocking on her bedroom window.
She lived alone in a small apartment, and nobody knew she was staying there. At first, she ignored the sound, thinking it was probably the wind.
Then her phone rang.
An unknown number.
“Hello?” she answered nervously.
A deep male voice replied, “Grace, don't open your door.”
Her heart began to beat faster.
“Who is this? How do you know my name?”
The caller went silent for a few seconds.
Then he said something that made her blood run cold.
“Look under your bed. You'll understand.”
Grace slowly lowered her phone and looked towards the bed. She didn't want to believe what she had just heard, but curiosity overcame her fear.
She bent down and reached underneath.
Her fingers touched an envelope.
Inside was an old photograph of her mother standing beside a young man. Behind the photograph was a handwritten message:
“Your mother lied to you about the night your father disappeared.”
Grace's hands began to shake.
Her father had supposedly died when she was five years old. Her mother had never allowed anyone to discuss him.
Suddenly, the knocking started again.
This time, it was louder.
“Grace! Open the door. It's me!”
She recognised the voice.
It was her mother's voice.
Grace rushed towards the door, but before she could open it, the unknown caller spoke again.
“That's not your mother.”
Grace froze.
“What do you mean?”
The caller whispered, “Your mother died three years ago. And the woman standing outside your door is the reason your father disappeared.”
Grace stepped away from the door.
Then the caller sent her one final message:
“Don't trust anyone tonight. Especially the person who looks exactly like you.”
Grace slowly turned towards the bedroom mirror.
Standing behind her reflection was another woman.
A woman with the same face.
The same eyes.
The same smile.
And she whispered:
“Hello, sister. I've finally found you.”
