When I got home , my family was at the table , eating .
They looked up at me .
Where have you been ? Why havent you been answering your phone ? Your sister has a competition coming up ! Dad yelled .
Mom gave him a look , signaling him to be nice , so I wouldn run off again .
Madison sat there , waiting for the show , with a gleam in her eyes .
Mom got up , walked over to me , and put on her sweet mom act .
Honey , where have you been ? Weve been so worried ! I looked at her , a smirk playing on my lips , watching her play the part .
Why would I tell you ? Moms smile faltered .
Dad slammed his fist on the table and stood up , shouting , How dare you talk to your mother like that ? Youre getting out of control ! What have you been up to ? You < embarrassed us all , stealing other peoples work ! Wheres our familys honor ?! Madison jumped up to comfort him .
Its my fault .
If Id taken better care of my sister at work , she wouldnt have gotten all this hate … I laughed and clapped .
Bravo ! You guys should win an Oscar .
Should I get you an award ? I looked at their angry faces .
Im not eating .
I cant stomach this dinner theater .
Carry on .
I waved and went upstairs .
Back in my room , I used the bracelet to scan the room .
Nothing .
Its not in here ? < I quietly left my room , planning to search the others .
Then , I ran into Madison .
What are you doing outside my room ? My heart pounded , but I smiled .
I heard your parents bought you tons of jewelry .
Im out of ideas , so I thought Id get inspired .
Madisons eyes lit up .
If I was designing again , she could steal more ideas .
She grabbed my arm .
Mom had a special inspiration room built for me .
Come see ! I resisted the urge to gag and nodded .
< It used to be the guest room , now it was Madisons jewelry storage .
The room was overflowing .
I was speechless .
Their love for her was something else .
Mom always sees good stuff and buys it , even though I have too much .
She smirked , showing off how loved she was .
I ignored her , focused on finding the idol .
I faked a stomach ache and went back to my room .
I needed another plan .
< I started sketching some terrible designs .
Madison actually gave me the key to the jewelry room .
I didnt turn her down .
Then , the day before the competition , she finally made a move .
She started crying on the couch , waking me up .
I was annoyed , and tried to go to the kitchen to get something to eat .
But Mom stormed over and slapped me .
You little thief ! Youre stealing from our family now ! < I pushed my cheek with my tongue and looked at her .
Madison said her jewelry was missing .
She gave me the key .
So you think I stole it ? Mom was still furious .
So you admit it ? Madison , faking tears on the couch , gave me a smug smile .
Its ok , it must have been me , I dont blame sister … Too bad I installed cameras in the hallway .
We can watch the footage , shall we ? Mom and Madison looked shocked .
To not be exposed , Madison said , I probably misplaced it … < There were no cameras , it was a bluff .
I snorted and walked over to her .
I grabbed her hair and dragged her back .
Her eyes were filled with fear .
What are you doing! I slapped her .
Think before you try something so stupid .
I lost my appetite and went upstairs .
On the day of the competition , the family went to support Madison .

Perfect timing to look for the idol .
< I searched every room .
Only Madisons was left .
I opened the door .
The room was pretty .
I scanned every corner .
Then , I stopped at a painting .
The snake bracelet heated up , as if the snake was alive .
The painting was harmless .
So the idol was behind it .
I took it down .
The wall was caved in but there was no idol ! < There was only a bird with black smoke coming from it .
They knew .
Madison was backstage at the competition .
She pulled the idol from her backpack .
She had a devious smile .
Yesterday night , the idol ordered her to pick it up and hide it .
I needed to calm down and think where the idol could be .
The only place she felt safe was with her .
I called a taxi and headed to the competition .
The competition was about to start .
I acted like a staff member and went backstage to the changing room .
Madisons bag was on the sofa .
I opened it and saw the idol .
The idol was pitch black with feline facial features , long fangs and a terrifying face .
The air chilled .
As I picked up the idol , ready to smash it , the idol spoke .
Ashley , its Grandma .
I miss you , come keep me company .
< My eyes widened .
It was impersonating my grandmothers voice .
I threw it on the floor .
Madison pushed open the door .
She had heard the idols voice and rushed over .
I held the idol , threatening to smash it if she came closer .
She looked scared .
She stepped out the way , scared of me smashing it .
I took the opportunity and ran out .
く The stage had curtains and audience members .
I ran on stage with the idol .
Madison chased after me .
I held the idol .
Have you been using this to copy my designs .
Madison acted sad .
Give me the idol , and Ill tell you everything .
Willing to tell the truth .
I tried to smash the idol .
Madison screamed for me to stop .
Ill tell you! She looked at me with a smile .
You were meant to die since you were a child , that master was right , you only bring me harm , preventing me from having everything .
I was scared that you werent dead .
Madison was acting crazy .
I found that master from the old days , I paid him to say those lies .
But I was not happy .
I got the idol from him , he said to put someones birth date and hair , Its too late Ashley .
I looked and smiled .
Is it .
She frowned .
Give me the idol , Ill remember you , Ill continue your work .
I laughed , and threw the idol on the floor .
The idol shrieked .
NO ! The darkness dissipated .
Madison watched in horror as the pieces < scattered on the ground .
No ! She glared at me , then went to attack .
