Double - Episode 3
by Elyse Endick
What??!
Are you kidding me right now??
I know
James, I saw him
He was there
He threw a rock at my window
He almost broke into my house
Okay, but why would my dad lie about his own son being dead?
I don’t understand
I don’t either
My dad said Trevor killed himself
I didn’t even know
So much for that stupid Twintuition
Wait, I think I’ve heard of this
What?
I read about it in Mysteries of the Afterlife
Kate, I love you, and I know you like reading about the occult…
But it’s not real
It only exists to make people feel better about the fact that someone they loved died
Don’t say that!
Hear me out…
The book said that sometimes the spirit of the deceased attaches itself onto a living family member
Like, someone that they had a strong connection to in life
Well, that’s obviously not me
Before he died, I hadn’t seen Trev in almost 4 years
But he was still your twin
Ghosts.
Aren’t.
Real.
He’s not a ghost! He’s a poltergeist
It’s more spiritual than that
Whatever. It’s not real.
But I saw him, James.
There’s no other explanation
Look, let’s not argue about this right now
I think that we should stay focused on your safety
I’m almost there now…DON’T do anything crazy
Why do you keep assuming I’ll do crazy things??
I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking to me right now.
I thought you said I was your spooky girl 👻
Sorry, sorry. You are.
I shouldn’t discount the things you believe in
I just think we need to acknowledge the sources of danger that are part of THIS world
Yeah, yeah
I gotta admit, I’m jealous
All this time, I’ve been dying to get in touch with my mom, or any spirit really…
And now you’ve got one you can’t get rid of!
Ohmigosh! That’s it. I know what we need to do
Kate. I’m not sure one of your occult theories will apply right now.
Well I think it will.
And I think that it’ll help me fix it.
Do you trust me??
Of course
Do you really trust me??
YES
Then I need you to listen to me
Run into the woods, but don’t look for me
Find Trevor and distract him
How?
Doesn’t matter
But I need you to buy me some time
Don’t shoot him.
I’m setting a trap
Like a bear trap?
Yes. Kind of like a bear trap, but for spirits
It’s called a pentagram
I’m drawing one in the dirt now
If I can pull it off, we’ll be able to detach his spirit from yours
How?
Well, a pentagram is a powerful symbol and spirits are terrified of it
So if we can lure him to it, he’ll go cowering back into the astral plane
And if you can’t?
Kate?
What if you can’t?
I don’t want to say it
The book could be wrong…
Kate. What does the book say will happen if you can’t detach Trevor’s spirit from mine?
It says that he could kill you and take your place
Forever
