My Family Died, Then Came Home Chapter 10
I cut Evan off before he could say more. "No one forgot you. Mom and Dad searched for you for years."He froze, then let out a bitter laugh. "Searched for me? If they'd really wanted to find me, they would've. They were probably relieved to be rid of the burden."Mom suddenly rushed toward him. "That's not true, Evan. I'm sorry. I never stopped looking for you."Evan recoiled as if she had burned him. "Don't touch me! You're not my mother! My mother would never abandon me. She'd make dinner and wait for me to come home. She'd take care of me when I was sick. She'd love me no matter what. You're nothing like her!"After screaming himself hoarse, he was taken to the police cruiser.As the door closed, I caught a glimmer of tears in his eyes.I stood there and watched the cruiser disappear down the road, torn between too many emotions to name.Evan was dangerous, but he was also deeply damaged.That still didn't give him the right to hurt other people.Dad came over and gently pu

Dad looked at me, his eyes red. "Had we kept Evan at home, it was only a matter of time before he seriously hurt you. Sending him to a residential treatment center was the hardest decision we ever made. We weren't trying to get rid of him. We wanted him to get the help he needed, and we had to keep you safe." Mom could barely speak through her sobs. "But then, the facility fell apart. It became so badly mismanaged that we lost all contact with him. We searched for years but never found him. Eventually, we convinced ourselves that someone had taken him in and that he was living a normal life somewhere. I never imagined he'd end up like this."It sounded too unbelievable to be true.But looking at the devastation on my parents' faces, I knew they weren't lying.I forced myself to ask, "How did he survive on his own all these years?"Dad shook his head. "We don't know. We searched for him for ten years and never found a trace. Then the center shut down, and all its records disap

Mom stumbled to her feet, confusion written across her face. "Adam, what's going on? How did we get here?"I gritted my teeth before forcing out the answer. "My twin brother, Evan, did this."All the color drained from Mom's face.Dad froze, too. His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he simply followed me in silence."This way!" a voice called from up ahead.I looked up and saw Gabriel standing at the end of the hallway, waving us toward him. "I opened an emergency exit to the surface. Hurry!"I ran toward him with my family.Just as we were about to reach the exit, a piercing alarm sounded behind us. I turned and saw Evan standing at the other end of the hallway.The face identical to mine was twisted with rage, his eyes burning with madness."Do you really think you can escape?"He didn't raise his voice, but every word carried clearly down the hallway.I didn't slow down. "Close it!" I shouted to Gabriel.Gabriel slammed his hand against a

I took the glass and deliberately raised my voice. "Can't you talk to Evan and convince him to let me go? Aren't we supposed to be best friends?"Gabriel played along, rolling his eyes. "Who do you think I am? I'm just being paid to do a job. Don't make this harder than it has to be."As he spoke, he leaned down to straighten the bedding and slipped something small under my pillow.A key card.My heart jumped, but I kept my expression neutral. "Then can you at least get me moved to another room? There's nothing to do in here. I'm going crazy!"Gabriel straightened and let out an impatient sigh. "Fine. I'll ask, but don't get your hopes up."He turned and left.The moment the hidden door closed, I pulled the key card from beneath the pillow. It was a plain access card with no markings.I didn't make a move right away.Evan was clearly no ordinary person. Anyone capable of building an entire underground lab and creating nearly perfect clones had to have extensive security in pla
My Family Died, Then Came Home Chapter 6
As if he were showing off, Evan Blair took me on a tour of the entire lab.The fake versions of Mom, Dad, and Max were sealed inside glass chambers, completely still as though frozen in time."They'll love me forever. They'll always accept me..."Evan stared at them through the glass, completely transfixed.I swallowed hard. "Your plan sounds perfect, but have you thought about what happens if the rest of the world finds out?""They won't. That's impossible."It was clear Evan couldn't be reasoned with, which meant the note Gabriel had slipped me was my only hope.I clenched it in my hand, my heart pounding so hard that it felt ready to burst.Whatever Gabriel had given me had to mean something.While Evan remained absorbed in admiring his perfect family through the glass, I quietly turned away and unfolded the note, now damp with sweat.A message had been scrawled across the paper in a hurry.[The server room's in the basement. Cutting the power will shut down every system

I jerked my head up and scanned the store for anything suspicious.Nothing seemed out of place.How did they know I tried to find out who they were?Those few words made it feel as though they could see straight into my mind.[Who are you?] I typed, forcing myself to ignore my fear.Several minutes passed before they replied.[Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is whether you want to know the truth.]Before I could respond, another message appeared.[Harbor Café. Tomorrow at ten. I'll give you the answers you're looking for.]After that, they ignored every message I sent.I spent the entire night wide awake, sick with anxiety.At exactly 10 a.m. the next day, I arrived at the café. I had no idea how long I had been waiting when I noticed a young man standing near the entrance.He was wearing the exact same hoodie and baseball cap as me. Even the mud stains around the edges of his shoes matched mine.I was staring at another version of myself.He tilted his head and smi
