In May I met a guy via the internet. I am not used to make contacts like this, but my sister convinced me. After checking-in I refreshed myself and went down for a drink.
While going down I met receptionist on the hotel's corridor and he asked me if everything is OK.
He mentioned that he has a friend who lives nearby and he invites me to enjoy a nightlife with his friend. I accepted the offer, when I was walking back I found a huge mansion next to the corridor.
When I entered that place I faced an amazing lady. I immediately assumed that I have been kidnapped. I realized that it's a female, she was extremely seductive.
After that scene I was taken to a room by him. After sleeping I've been taken to next scene after I woke-up. That lady showed herself to me. She was very seductive and I realized. that it's my sister. She was really angry with me for not meeting her and calling her friends.
I called my sister to meet after 20min of seeing her. I told her everything that happened and she was shocked. She talked to me for a while until I went to sleep.
Next morning I found her on the bathroom (she has gone when I met receptionist) My sister has been really worried about me. After I met her I realized that I'm free. When I am talking about her, she told me that she has a baby who is 6months.
I really don't know what the next is or what the future is... ... to try their level best to keep her alive. My sister was given a lethal injection and died with her last words saying.
In the past I hated her. But I got the life changing realization that I could keep my mother alive instead since my sister was a mother as well and I couldn't let another mother loose. In my opinion they will never understand me but it is not worth the effort to try.
I feel sorry that my mother's death had to come so soon after my sister's because my mother did not deserve to be sentenced to die. It takes an hour to feel remorse and about 60 years for us to forget, but about 400 years between the two for them to never understand.
There is nothing more beautiful to me than to hear the laughter of a parent's child. I'm sorry. My heart is still ripped out by what my mom endured for me. My sister is happy but the guilt of losing my twin sister.
