I just started daydreaming and came up with this, it's probably crap, but whatever.

Katie's POV:

"There's a man standing behind every corner, croatching in the shadows, breathing in the night, and girl, I am that man, so best beware or you'll be dead, in an alley somewhere," Grace looked up from the paper she was reading from, with a scared look in her eyes, "What do you think it means?"
"Well, obviously sombody's trying to scare you. I bet it means nothing," I said with a smile. Grace was my younger sister, what was I supposed to say, 'yea, someone's going to try and kill you. We loved havin you with us, we're gonna miss ya.' Yea right, that's just what mum would've wanted us to say.
"I doubt it," it was Jordan's favorite hobby to do this, scare the living s**t out of people, "Who ever wrote that note is probably serious. The question is, what did you do to get someone so severly angered at you to the exstent they wish to have you dead?" I gave my most evil glare to Jordan, so she shut up.
Grace stared into space, thinking. She sat cross-legged on her bed, elbows on her knees, and hands in her lap. She's been sitting like that since she opened the letter the note came in.
Jordan looked over Grace's sholder and said, "Someone out there still uses a typewriter." Me and Grace both gave her confused looks. "How do you know that?" Grace asked. "Look at the y in alley, it's dropped. I doubt any printer drops letters." Jordan said, "Some one knows the family secret, but they saw only saw Grace do it, and now they want her dead."
I looked at Grace. "Grace?" I said. I hoped she hadn't, but when she looked up, I saw in her eyes that she had. "I thought there was no one around!" Grace exclaimed. "That's not the point!" Jordan screamed, "Someone DID see you, and now you're going to wind up like mum! beheaded and thrown in the sewer!"
Grace's eyes started to well up with tears before Jordan reacted. "Oh my God, Grace, I'm sorry. I should never have said that." Jordan kneeled in front of Grace, " I'm really sorry, Grace" Grace shoved Jordan out of the way and ran out of the room, with tears streaming down her face. I could hear her slam close, and lock the bathroom door.
"You just had to bring up mum, didn't you? Have you forgotten who it was who discovered mum's body? She's never going to get that immage out of her head!" I could not have been more angry at Jordan at that moment,"nice going jackass!"
Jordan looked up at me with eyes almost like Grace's eyes looked, "I know I messed up, it's just...I'm scared."
"And We aren't? Jordan, We're all scared, none of us want that to happen again. Grace didn't mean to get caught, but she did, now we have to deal with whatever's happening, togeather," with that I walked out of the room to go take care of Grace.

Grace's POV:

I was sitting on the rug that was in the bathroom, as I normally did when I cried. Jordan knew what she had said would have hurt, but she had said it anyway....I could still see it as clearly as ever.
I was in the sewer practicing 'the gift', as mum had called it, and I looked over to see a large heap, walking over to it, I saw her body; her cold, dead body, lieing on it's back, head lieing on it's cheast. The head had the remnace of sheer terror on it's beautiful face. I descraced the body by vomiting on it's shoes, but I couldn't help it. So I sreamed as loud as I could, until I saw a foot come up from above. The only other thing I remember was my sisters hugging me when we came home that night.
I heard yelling coming from the bedroom, and I knew Katie was yelling at Jordan. She didn't need to, Jordan was right. I was a fool for practicing in a, seemingly, deserted allyway. Now, I'll never be able to leave the house, just as mum couldn't, when she got the note. If only she hadn't gone out to get us the damn milk. She insisted on it, almost as if she were controled by some other force to go, and the next morning I find her dead.
This only made me weep harder, but I could almost understand Katie's words through my sobs. It was something to the degree of it'll be fine, and please come out.
"I'm staying in here till I die!" I screamed. I wanted to stay away from the outsice world as much as possible, I didn't want to die the way mum had. "Grace!!! You will get out of there right now!!! We won't be frightened by it, we'll make it afraid of us!!!" Katie's words were more audible this time because she was screaming, and I could tell. "Make Me!" I cried. A second passed then a crash was heard as Katie's foot made contact with the door and made it fall off it's hinges and onto the floor. "Now, you will stop crying, you will get up and out of this bathroom, and you WILL fight this, Goddamnit!" Katie screamed as she jerked me up by my collar. "Yes, Katie," I said, trying hard not to wet myself, I was laughing so hard.
