It all started on her walk home. Kelsey Abernathy, 15, had decided to cut out of ninth period a few minutes early. She took her studies seriously, but also did not care much about geology. "Rocks, rocks, and more rocks. God I wish I could bash my own head with one." she muttered to herself.
She was about two blocks from her house when she saw something that stopped her cold in her tracks. Standing 20 feet apart from her was a girl wearing the exact same outfit as her. A red flak jacket, a white long sleeve shirt, and black jeans. At first, Kelsey thought it was just a practical joke or some strange coincidence. As the figure approached her, she realized she was mistaken. This person was her; it had her long brown hair, her larger than average nose, the little scar above her lip. Most terrifyingly to her, she realized Kelsey 2.0! had heterochromia (two different colored eyes) just like her.
Kelsey started running in the other direction, but her doppleganger was right behind her. Kelsey ran about five blocks before Kelsey 2.0! caught up. The duplicate punched Kelsey in the stomach and pulled out a syringe with purple liquid.
"Hello Kelsey" Kelsey 2.0! coolly whispered to her. "Welcome to your new world."
As Kelsey felt the syringe plunge into her right arm, she could only mutter out a weak cry. "Why?" The doppleganger walked past her, heading in the direction of her house. Feeling a combination of terror and exhaustion, Kelsey decided to examine her arm. She saw the liquid working it's way quickly through her veins. Kelsey staggered to her feet and attempted to after the doppleganger. As she attempted to run, Kelsey felt herself growing weaker and weaker. She stumbled into a pair of bushes right next to her local park. Unable to lift herself up, Kelsey dragged herself across the grass. Barely conscious at this point, Kelsey started screaming as loudly as she could.
"Help me! Please god someone help me" Kelsey ached. As she started to shut her eyes, she saw a tall figure in gold robes approach her. The last thing Kelsey saw before she passed out was the stranger reaching their hand out.
