15 Minutes Chapter 1 Introductions The 2 most adorable (and the hottest) twins in the world Bill and Tom, if you’re reading this chances are you already know a lot about them so I won’t bore you with stuff you already know. All I’m going to say is that they were talking about all the places they have seen and discovered that they still hadn’t seen much of Australia. So sure enough they decided it was time for a holiday. They signed up for a billeting program. They were told just a week later that they would be staying with a family that speaks no German, this worried Tom but Bill seemed confident. They were just about to get on the plane,

“I’m not sure about this My English sucks” said Tom sounding like he was going to be sick

“Don’t worry Tom!!!!” Said Bill in perfect English,

“You’ll have me!” This was probably the most irritating thing that Bill could have said at this particular moment so Tom ignored it. The whole plane ride Bill was a nervous wreck, he hated flying with a passion. They were on a small plane and it was a particularly turbulent flight so Bill got quite ill, but Tom just fell asleep, blissfully unaware of his brother throwing up beside him. When Tom woke up, Bill had put all his belongings on top of Tom. He looked too peaceful and if Bill was going to be miserable, then so was Tom.

Meanwhile in Australia were two horrified girls were being told that they will spend the holidays showing some German tourists around Canberra.

“Canberra is a hole!! What are we supposed to show them?, complained Katie in the most convincing voice she could muster. Katie is a “normal” 16 year old girl, all she wanted to do was go to parties and the mall and then another party and movies and well... you get the point. The last thing Katie wanted to do with her holidays was showing around German tourists. Samantha had almost the same reaction:

“You’re kidding! I can’t spend the holidays playing tour guide for a couple of no-hopers I have exams to study for!!” Samantha is quite different to Katie she doesn’t want to party or go shopping or even hang with friends all she ever really did was study, night and day and when Katie is tired from partying Sam is tired because she was staring at text books all night.

The girls were far from identical in appearance. Sam had curly dark hair which was always pulled back in a tight pony tail so that it wasn’t on her face when she was studying, she wears no makeup and has dark rimmed black glasses that she wears for reading. Her clothes are always simple with simple colors, mainly pink. Katie on the other hand had a very “out there” appearance. Her long blonde hair was always over her face, much to her family’s disgust, and she had the occasional red streaks here and there. Her family hated the small tattoo of a butterfly that she had gotten without their permission. Her grades were not nearly as good as Sam’s but weren’t really bad. She had had a crush on this guy called T.J. (he never told her his real name) and she wore some very interesting outfits, to say the least.

Girls had similar faces with big lips and transparent blue eyes, they weren’t bad looking girls but they were nothing special (that’s what they thought anyway). Despite their differences they do get along very well, they only had the occasional fight over silly things and always made up after and were friends again by the next day. The one thing that they didn’t agree on was their surname, Love, It worked well for Katie but Sam hates it she is always complaining that they don’t take her seriously at Math comps and spelling bees.

Chapter 2 “She fell” It was the first day of the holidays and Sam and Katie were still asleep. At about 5 in the morning the girls’ parents had gone to the airport to pick up the German billets. Bill and Tom were stuck on an over-air conditioned plane with just three packets of peanuts between them. They were so happy when the plane landed that Tom almost skipped off the plane and Bill just always skips everywhere. When they got into the airport they saw 2 weird looking people holding a big sign saying BILL AND TOM!!!!!!!!! Tom was ashamed to go anywhere near them but as always Bill was looking on the bright side and was overly enthusiastic to meet them. When they got there they introduced themselves speaking in slow English like they were talking to 3 year olds, Tom found this useful, as his English was not very good yet but Bill got frustrated and said in perfect English.

“I am Bill and this is my Brother Tom.” The people looked shocked at the boy’s English skills and started talking to them like they were normal people.

Bill and Tom had a good time spotting kangaroos on the way home (Tom only ever spotted the dead ones; it upset Bill to see so many dead animals on the side of the road). When they got there they found out that the people had twin girls and they decided to go and see if they were awake. Bill went into Katie’s room and Tom went into Sam’s room. The first to notice the new arrivals was Sam. She had just woken up.

“Hello, my name is Tom Kaulitz and I am staying with you for the six week holiday.” Sam sat up and blinked several times then pinched herself on the arm.

“Ouch!” she whispered discovering that she was in fact awake. Then she remembered the billets. She began to judge the appearance of her new “friend”: he had what appeared to be dread locks and his t-shirt had to be at least 30cms too big for him on either side, it was the biggest t-shirt she had ever seen. Then there was a blood-curdling scream that made both Sam and Tom jump. The scream was followed by a loud thud.

The scream had been Katie waking up to Bill standing by her bed tapping her to wake her. When she looked up she saw the biggest hair-do she had ever seen and a pair of dark black eyes that seemed hollow in the dark. He was tall and gangly with extra long arms. This made Bill look somewhat like one of those scary animated monsters you get in cartoons. She was so frightened that she started to back away from Bill and fell off the bed. This was the loud thud that Sam and Tom had heard.

“Oh dear, you weren’t expecting me were you?” said a shocked but amused Bill. He helped her up and put a hand around her waist and she put an arm around his shoulder. As they got into the light of the hall she noticed that he was not a monster or a cartoon but a reasonably good-looking guy about her age.

Sam and Tom were standing in the room by now and exchanging shocked glances at the strange sounds they had heard. Then their questions were answered when Bill came in supporting a limping and starring Katie.

“She fell” exclaimed Bill simply. Once the girls were both sitting safely on the bed Bill turned on the light and introduced them properly,

“I am Bill Kaulitz and this is my twin brother Tom, we are from Germany and we will be staying with you for the 6 week holiday.” Sam was the first girl to gather her senses and said,

“This is Katie and I am her twin sister Samantha, but you can call me Sam.” The boys grinned displaying teeth so white that they almost glowed.

Bill then supported Katie all the way to the kitchen as they were lead by Sam. Tom started to make small talk with Sam.

“I do not speak English very well so you will have to talk quite slowly for me so that I will understand.”

“Mmm” said Sam as she was still shocked by the appearance of the two boys. As they arrived in the kitchen the girls’ parents were shocked to see Katie limping in Bill’s arms.

“Goodness what happened??” said her mother

“She fell.” said Bill simply.

“I’m ok now, I can walk.” said Katie as a blush spread across her face. Her parents just exchanged glances and began preparing breakfast. Mrs. Love pulled out a box of fruit Loops and Bill’s face lit up.

“I love fruit loops!” exclaimed Bill in an excited voice. The girls couldn’t help but chuckle at Tom’s face as he nodded enthusiastically in agreement. It was going to be an interesting 6 weeks. Chapter 3 Last Minutes Plans The first outing that the girls could think of in Canberra was to Questacon. The boys were pleased to see that there was a rollercoaster simulator there so they grabbed the girls and ran to ride it. When they got on, it was just them because people said that they didn’t want to go on with Bill in case they couldn’t see past his hair. When they got on, the ride started. There was a short high-pitched squeal. Everybody looked at Katie and she shook her head. They then turned to Bill to see that it was him that had made the noise. Tom laughed and said

“When Bill gets excited, he tends to scream like a girl!” That was followed by a fit of giggling from the girls and a scowl form a blushing Bill.

As they climbed out of the cabin Bill noticed a baby staring at him from her mother’s arms. He tapped Tom on the shoulder and pointed.

“Helloooo” said Bill to the baby in that awful tone that people always use to talk to babies. The baby just frowned and burst into tears. Bill looked taken back and apologized to the scowling mother.

“Not so good with kids then?” said Sam laughing.

“Well he scared me! So all I can say is poor baby.” Katie mocked. Bill just rolled his eyes and grabbed Tom who was busy flirting with the older sister of the baby.

Tom wanted to go down the freefall but they wouldn’t let him because he couldn’t fit his clothes under the jumpsuit. Bill simply shook his head and said,

“I don’t have a death wish!” The girls decided to dismiss the idea altogether, they had been to Questacon millions of times but neither of them had never done the freefall. Tom and Bill wanted to stop for lunch even though it was only 10 o’clock.

“I want coffee.” Bill said glancing over at the cafe.

“You don’t need coffee! You’ve already scared the younger generation half to death. You’ll actually give them nightmares if you have coffee!” Tom said smiling. Katie saw the look on Bill’s face and decided to prevent an argument.

“This is so much fun!”She said with an over exaggerated smile. Sam looked at her and noticing she wanted to change the subject. Sam said mockingly,

“I bet it would be more fun if T.J. were here”

Katie blushed to bright red and Bill pipes up “oh who’s T.J.” Bill had always enjoyed gossip and he quickly forgot about Tom’s reference to the caffeine high he always got from coffee.

“Nobody important” said Katie feeling like she wanted to slap her sister, sure enough it distracted Bill but that wasn’t quite what she intended to talk about.

“I bet he is!” Said Tom suddenly interested.

“HE’S NOBODY!!!” said Katie feeling flustered.

Then in unison with a perfect pout the boys said “PLEASE TELL US!!!!” Sam rolled her eyes and looked at Katie who now seemed more than happy to tell them, she was such a flirt.

“FINE! He’s just a friend of mine from school who happens to be super hot and very sweet.” Katie said this so quietly that Tom and Bill had to lean in to hear her. Then somebody walked past and bumped Bill so that he fell forwards and basically landed on top of Katie. Tom found this utterly hilarious and exploded in a fit of laughter, stamping his foot and slapping his thigh. Sam was just as hysterical but a little more discrete than Tom. Katie found this so humiliating and as you can imagine, so did Bill; So much in fact, that under his breath he muttered a curse on the person who bumped him.

Katie muttered “awkward” under her breath which just made the whole situation even more awkward and started another fit of laughter from the other two. Soon everybody was laughing but that moment would stick with Bill and Katie for the rest of their lives. Chapter 4 Truth or Dare Tom and Bill were quite un-impressed by Canberra so far so when they got back to the house and started setting up the guest room Bill decided that he would ask if there was anything interesting in the city.

“You have a very boring city.” Bill exclaimed in a very level tone.

“I know” said the girls in unison. Then they had a brain wave, what if they went down the coast. The girls had an uncle who had a house down the coast. They decided to approach their parents about it.

“Mum” said Katie in her most innocent voice “Can we go to Uncle Harry’s house for a couple of weeks?”

“Hmm” said Katie’s mother “I really don’t think that’s a good idea, you should talk to your father.”

“Does that mean that you think it’s ok?” said Katie sounding like an eager 3 year old.

“Maybe, approach your father about it first.” So sure enough:

“Dad” there was that innocent voice again “Can we go to Uncle Harry’s house for a couple of weeks?”

“Have you asked your mother yet?” he replied with a stern sounding voice with an angry edge to it (Katie and Sam hated it when he talked like this.)

“YES, I have and she said to ask you, so can we?”

“I suppose, but Uncle Harry has to be there the whole time.”

“Thank you Daddy!!” said Sam in a high pitched squeal. She ran to tell the others and they were just as excited. They quickly booked a bus and they were to leave the next day.

It was the day of the bus ride to the coast; Sam had just gotten off the phone with Uncle Harry. She came skipping into the room and said,

“The bus will get to the Jolimont plaza at 10:00am that only leaves 2hours and 26 minutes until we have to be on the bus so hurry up.”

“Oh quickly where’s my hairspray?” Said Bill excitedly, he grabbed his hairspray and then grabbing Katie’s hand and dragging her to the car.

When they got to the plaza the bus had already arrived they hurried and ran onto the bus with suitcases in hand. Once they got on the bus they were shown to their seats by a lady in a black jacket. They were seated like this: Tom was next to Sam and Bill was next to Katie. The ride seemed to have been going for ages and then the bus stopped moving, waking Bill out of his sleep. The driver said that it had run out of fuel, but Tom found this odd, considering he had seen them filling it up just before they left. As they were sitting there waiting for the bus to start up Katie made a suggestion.

“How about we play truth or dare?” said an excited Katie.

“Ohhhh” said Bill “I like that game!”

“Ok then, you go first” said Tom with a cheeky smile on his face that Sam found quite adorable.

“Hmmm, Katie, you have to go up to that old guy over there and give him a great big kiss on the cheek then wink at him.” Bill said this with a slight laugh in his voice.

“That’s pathetic!” said Katie mischievously. She went up to the man and sat on his lap, kissed his cheek and got up giving him a massive wink and walked back to her seat. She sat down to a group of hysterical 16 year olds.

“My turn” she said. “This is a double dare for Bill and Tom; you have to swap outfits for the rest of the bus trip.” As she said this the two boys looked at each other’s clothes in disgust.

“I don’t want to look like a giant marshmallow!!” said Bill horrified.

“I don’t mind,” said Tom “I look good in anything” he winked at the girls as he reached for his suitcase.

“Stop flirting Tom they know that you can’t pull off skinnies and a leather jacket, that’s my thing!” The boys went into their suitcases and each pulled out an outfit for the other to wear. Tom chose a massive white t-shirt, a pair of extra baggy pair of jeans and a cap. Bill got out a pair of black skinnies, a leather jacket, a tight fitting shirt and a set of massive chains. The boys then exchanged out fits and went to the bus toilets to get changed. Tom was the first to emerge, he had a grimacing smile on his face and his cheeks were a shade if red that resembled a beetroot.

“I feel ridiculous!” he said in a shy squeaky voice. The clothes looked ok on him but it didn’t look quite right, simply because he looked really tall and thin, just like Bill. Bill was taking a lot longer to come out but when he did, he looked even funnier than Tom. His whole figure was swamped by the massive clothes and the hat had squashed the top of his hair, so that the rest of his massive hair was poofed out at the bottom of the hat. He sat down. By this stage the girls were already in stitches.

“They are actually quite comfortable” said Bill in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Yeah speak for yourself” said Tom “these are hideously uncomfortable!”

“I like skinnies” said Katie between fits of giggles.

Then the bus lurched to a start and they were moving again. As it happens they weren’t that far from their destination anyway. When the bus finally stopped they went into the station and since Uncle Harry wasn’t there yet the boys went and got changed. When they got out Uncle Harry still wasn’t there so they decided to walk to the house. It was starting to get dark and cold so Bill gave his jacket to Katie and Tom gave his jacket to Sam. Katie had to really squeeze into Bill’s jacket and Sam was getting lost in Tom’s. They decided to walk there since there was no sign of Uncle Harry. The boys shivered all the way there. When they finally got to the house the girls knocked on the door:

“Hello” said Katie

“Uncle Harry?” Sam called but there was no reply.

“Either he’s fallen asleep or he’s let us have the house to ourselves for the weekend.” Katie said. They opened the door, it was unlocked. So they went into the house and dropped their suitcases. Sam was showing Bill and Tom around while Katie went to look for Uncle Harry. Before they could go very far there was a horrible scream from the living room. The others looked at Bill; it wasn’t him so they ran to the room lead by Bill, of course. They looked around and saw Katie standing in front of Uncle Harry’s old arm chair. Sam noticed small dots of a dark liquid on the wooden floor. She turned the light on and saw the horrifying figure of their beloved Uncle Harry. He was slumped over the chair with his legs apart lazily, his arms were absent (i.e. Not there, you get the idea), he had stab wounds everywhere and he had a small piece of paper attached to his chest. The paper was written in German. Sam picked it up and handed it to Tom he read it out in English while Bill covered Katie’s eyes.

“I’m staring at a broken door, there’s nothing left here anymore.” “Song lyrics” he said quietly. Bill had a horrified look on his face “I wrote that song” he said.

They all walked into the next room. There was a thump from the hall, “the murderer is still here” whispered Sam.

“Run!” said Tom. They all ran for the door and pulled the handle, it was locked.

“Please tell me there’s a back door!” said Bill terrified.

“This way” said Katie. They ran down the hall to the back door it was locked to. They tried all the doors, but they were locked, so were all the windows. Eventually they locked themselves into the bar room downstairs and collapsed onto the floor panting. Chapter 5 When Love Is Dead It took a while for them to get words to form; the first to speak was Sam.

“You wrote that song?” she said still slightly out of breath.

“Yeah did we ever mention that we were in a band?” said Bill looking weakly at the girls.

“NO!” they replied in unison.

“What’s the band’s name?” asked Katie.

“Tokio Hotel” said Tom, finally finding his voice. “Why is this necessary right now?”

“What are the rest of the words to the song?” Sam asked desperately.

“The room is cold it’s making me insane, I’ve been waiting here so long, another moment has begun, I see the dark clouds coming up again...” Bill sang until he was interrupted,

“Never mind!” said Sam “We need to get out of here, we have done the stupidest thing you can do in a situation like this, we’ve cornered ourselves!”

She turned around to see that they had all fallen asleep; Sam had always spoken like this but nobody had ever fallen asleep before. She felt her head turn light and she felt dizzy and then she slowly fell asleep.

Bill was the first to wake. He turned to see that all the furniture in the room had gone and the door was hanging delicately on just one hinge. Just as the others started coming out of their sleep Bill saw two disembodied arms lying on the ground. He gasped in disgust.

“I think he gassed us.” Tom said lazily through a yawn. Then he saw the expression on his brother’s face and said “oh my god...”

Sam had also woken up to the horrifying sight of her Uncle’s arms. One was in a pointing position aimed at the door; the other was grasping a note. This note was also written in German. Tom read it:

“We die when love is dead. Song lyrics again...” Bill had gone white as a ghost he was turning and looking around the room desperately,

“Where’s Katie?” Bill whispered quietly.

“Sam...” Tom sounded scared, “Your sister isn’t here...”

“What?” Now Sam was terrified she bent her head and started to sob; “This is all my fault... I suggested we should come here and now I don’t think we will be going back.”

“Don’t be stupid!” said Tom grasping Sam’s arm “We all wanted to come here and were all never going to get out.”

Katie’s pov:

Katie was waking up she opened her eyes for a second but the room was dark and she couldn’t see anything. A voice came from somewhere in the corner.

“What’s your name sweetie?” the voice asked. Katie was still sleepy so she couldn’t hear the voice properly; she had no idea where she was so she just quietly replied,

“Umm Katie...”

“Thanks, I’ll let your friends know your here.” The voice said. Katie assumed that they were a police officer that had found her and saved her.

“Where are my friends?” There was no reply; Katie just felt a sharp pain in her arm, she tried to scream in pain but the person gagged her before she could make a noise.

Meanwhile...

“They are looking for us, obviously.” Bill said still white as a ghost.

“Who is it though and how do they know we’re here.” Tom was no longer making any attempt to hide his fear and he was coming out with some stupid things.

Sam laughed slightly, “You’re not easy to miss, I’m sorry.” The boys just frowned at her.

They got up and walked to the broken door, they decided that they should look for Katie. As they reached the table in the hall Bill found a little pool of blood with something in it.

“Your uncle had a tattoo of a butterfly?” Said Bill with a little chuckle.

“Err... no but Katie did...” Sam gave Bill a look that said NOT FUNNY.

“Oh my god...” said tom “I think he has Katie.”

“Oh really!” Bill said in a mocking voice.

They went into the study that Uncle harry had kept all his work, when he did any. As they walked in they heard a ticking noise. An old egg timer was sitting on the floor in front of them; it had been going for 2 minutes and it still had 13 minutes on the clock.

“Somebody has only just set this.” Sam said pointing out the obvious, as usual. “Oh no duh!” said Bill and Tom. Bill was getting nervous now he really had liked Katie and if she died because of him, he would never forgive himself. Tom and Sam had also become quite close; he was everything that she normally hated in a guy. She had always hated the baggy clothes and dreadlocks were her pet peeve, but on Tom she found them quite adorable.

The desk in the room was all ruffled and there was a small blood stain. The bulb in the light had been blown for ages so Sam pulled the curtains. On the window in dripping, crimson red was 15 mins.

Chapter 6 15 Minutes Katie was now tied up in the bathroom there was more light in here so she could see. She was still gagged and she had no idea who had taken her but she was guessing that is wasn’t a police officer. The voice had told her that if her friends didn’t come in 15 minutes then she would die and so would they. Katie was still convinced that it was a mean prank until she noticed that her arm had blood dripping down it and when she looked down her tattoo was gone and there was a gaping wound in her arm. Pain is a funny thing when you tend to only really notice it if you know it’s there and as soon as Katie saw her arm, she felt like screaming out to Sam, Bill and Tom but of course she couldn’t

She felt a wet piece of fabric cover her eyes and she could no longer see. Then she felt another sharp pain, this time in her neck. This pain repeated five times and each time it got closer to her throat. Then after about a minute another was put on her neck, then another after the next minute and so on.

Meanwhile...

Sam was wishing that Uncle Harry didn’t have such a big house. They had been searching for 10 minutes now and opened almost every door in the house but still there was no sign of Katie. After another 3 minutes they were getting desperate and they ran frantically until they got to the bathroom, it was the last room and the door was locked. They banged and hit the door, they tried picking the lock and Bill even tried to pull off the door handle but it didn’t work. Then Sam felt the egg timer buzz and just as it went off the door gave way. Bill went bursting into the room only to slip and hit his head, he felt dizzy and when he tried to get up he couldn’t.

“Bill? Are you ok?” Tom said looking down at his injured brother.

“Yeah I’m fine.” He said rubbing his head. But then he saw Katie in the bathtub she had 14 long, vertical cuts in her neck and her throat had been slit. Sam cried out a massive sob and collapsed onto the floor in a fit of hysterical sobs. Tom bent down next to her and hugged her; he put an arm around her shoulders and whispered something into her ear. She looked up at him, he had a single tear running down his face and he looked absolutely terrified. Bill had gone to the lifeless figure of Katie in the bathtub and hugged her, he was also sobbing hysterically. When he turned to look at the others they were asleep.

“Not again” he said quietly then, still holding Katie, he fell asleep.

Sam awoke; she was in the living room. Her uncle’s body was still slumped over the armchair. The room was filled with a horrible smell. She started to come to her senses more and she noticed that she was tied to something. She turned and saw that she was tied to the limp dead body of her twin sister, she tried to scream but there was a salty tasting cloth jammed between her teeth stopping her from talking. The body of her sister looked different to what it had before she fell asleep; it was covered from tip to toe in blood and her face had been engraved with the words “love is dead”. The irony of this made Sam think that this person wasn’t the brightest bulb on the tree. LOVE is dead oh dear.

She started to work on the ropes around her wrists and ankles. She pulled and tugged but soon gave up with a sigh she looked at the wall and saw that there was a lady standing against the wall.

“Hello there, I was wondering when you would notice me standing here.” The lady said in a small menacing voice. She walked forward and untied the gag. Sam noticed that she wasn’t a lady at all but a girl, she was roughly her age and had long black hair and a tattoo of a symbol it was like a T but it had two extra lines and a circle around it.

“Umm... Who are you?” Sam asked warily.

“Your worst nightmare!” said the girl trying to sound scary, and it would have been scarier if she hadn’t been trying so hard.

“Right...” Sam said almost mocking the girl. “Did you kill my sister and uncle?”

“I don’t like your tone” said the girl still trying to scare Sam.

“Erm ok then did you?”

“Yes I did and in... 13 minutes you will be next.” Now Sam was scared, this was the girl who could kill and she was going to kill. She re-tied the gag and winked at Sam before blind folding her with damp rag. Sam then realized that the girl had used the blindfold to gag her and the gag to blindfold her, that is why the gag was salty; they were the tears of her sister. Sam sobbed and hung her head. Chapter 7 No!!! Bill awoke to find that the body of Katie was gone and so was Sam, he went over to find that Tom was still asleep cuddling a towel that somebody had put in the place of Sam. He took a second to notice that Tom may have feelings for this girl, but that just made him want Tom to wake up even more. He shook Tom until he eventually woke up and noticed that the towel had replaced Sam.

“Where’s Sam!” he said sounding shocked, “and Katie!”

“Gone” said Bill with a grave note to his tone.

“We have 15 minutes what are you waiting for!” said Tom getting up and brushing himself off. He ran to the door and found the egg timer, it was set to 15 minutes as it was like last time and there were only 13 of those minutes left. The boys ran around the house and this time it didn’t take them long to find the victim. Sam was tied to Katie in the living room and she was gagged and blindfolded.

“SAM!” said Tom sounding relived that they had found her in time.

“Hold still, I’ll untie you.” Bill said in a bewildered tone. Then he saw her; the killer. It was Ingrid, a fan girl who had followed the band on every tour their entire career and she had threatened to kill any girl that the boys ever dated. She must have found out that they were staying in Australia and followed them here.

“Hello boys,” she said in her usual tone.

“Get away!” said Tom “She isn’t my girlfriend!”

“Nor am I, but you refuse to hang out with me!” she was yelling now. Bill had crept up behind her and took the knife that she was carrying form her bag, he held it up above his head and just as his hand started to fall she grabbed the knife and returned the blow. She drove the knife through his chest; she twisted it and there was a grisly cracking and snapping noise as his rib broke. Tom immediately threw a hand at his chest and collapsed to the ground. Bill fell to the ground and slowly closed his eyes. Ingrid dropped the knife and smiled horribly at her work. She dropped to her knees admiring the wound in Bill’s chest and then got out a smaller pocket knife and started to carve patterns into Bill’s face, smiling as she went. As Tom stood, still holding his chest and watched in horror, he bent down to pick up the knife she had dropped, he picked it up and she didn’t notice. He lifted it up above his head; still she didn’t notice so he then drove the knife into her back and with an explosion of blood, she screamed in agony falling right onto Bill. She eventually stopped screaming, slowly closed her eyes, and died.

Tom turned around to see that Sam was still alive and tied up. The bell on the egg timer buzzed and Sam winced preparing to be killed. Tom bent down and started to untie the gag and the blindfold from Sam’s face. “Keep still it’s me.” Tom said reassuring her. He untied the blindfold and her eyes widened at the sight of the dead girl and Bill lying dead on the floor. He un-gagged her,

“What is going on?” she asked timidly. “You killed them!” Sam screamed and tried to get away from him.

“No, No, No It wasn’t me it was her,” he said pointing at the girl

“So how did she die?”

“I’m here to save you... but I did kill her.” Tom replied sheepishly.

“Oh...” said Sam as Tom untied her bonds and lifted her to her feet. She sighed in relief and hugged Tom.

“You are a god.” She whispered in his ear.

“Believe me, if I was god none of this would have happened.” Sam just whimpered as she turned to get a better look at the carnage of their night in Uncle Harry’s house.

“Oh my god, I never thought that I would have to live without Bill.” Tom was rubbing a hand over his chest and wincing in pain. He looked at Bill; He had felt that wound as if it were his own. Bill had always been his rock and now he was no more.

“Did you feel it when Katie died?” He asked Sam remembering that she also had lost a twin.

“I felt as if the world was ending like I would never be happy again. No pain, just a foreboding that I will never forget.” She had stopped sobbing but the tears still ran down her face.

“I can’t live without Bill.”

Sam pulled out her mobile and called the police. Then Tom grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the house, when they got outside they realized it had been a whole day at least as it was night time and there was a storm in the air. Tom took Sam’s hand and held it with a slight squeeze. It started to rain and Tom leant in to kiss her. She didn’t try to pull away; she found that she liked Tom very much even though he was not her type. Sam had learned a lot from him and Bill but now they were both unpaired twins. A bolt of lightning sparked down and hit the power line above them and it fell. The end of the broken line hit Tom and zapped his lip ring which sent the current through them and eventually electrocuted them both. They fell to the grass in a limp pile lying dead in the rain.

The police arrived and saw the two lovers trapped in a deathly embrace.
