Half an hour later Teri came back upstairs with Phyllis, kissed her stepmother good night, and returned to her room. She waited until she heard the door to the master suite close, then crossed to the bathroom door, unlocked it, and moved through the bathroom itself to Melissa’s door. She paused, listening, and heard nothing.

Finally, she opened the door and slipped through it into the darkness of Melissa’s room. Her bare feet padding silently across the floor, she went to the bed and looked down into her half sister’s face.

Melissa lay on her back, her eyes open, staring, at the ceiling.

“Melissa?” Teri whispered. “Are you awake?”

There was no answer.

Teri smiled in the darkness, her lips curving upward in an expression of hard cruelty. “They’re going to think you’re crazy,” she whispered. “They’re all going to think you’re crazy, and they’re going to lock you up.”

Laughing silently to herself, she returned to her room and quickly drifted into a deep and dreamless sleep.
