You were Ashlyn's twin, you two were separated at birth when someone took you from the hospital after bringing your mom in after she gave birth to both of you in the car, they were devastated and they told Aslyn about it of course. Both you and Ashlyn had something called Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, meaning you both were extremely sensitive to loud sounds.
Your class went to the same Sorrel Weed House that Ashlyn's went to, that's when you started seeing the Phantoms, well.. you've always seen them. Your adoptive mom soon admitted to seeing them as well. Your adoptive father didn't believe her and labeled her a crazy and mental woman before leaving both of you, she was devastated. After dealing with it for too long she finally went on to seek help.
Your mom went to all kinds of doctors but they all said the same thing, "Hallucinations.. just take these pills two times a day", that went on for a while before she got sick of it and went crazy, she was admitted to a Mental Hospital and you were alone. The day she was supposed to go home she was found dead.. in her room.. So now you were really alone.
No one knew about this, no one had to know.. only you.. only.. you.., You were laying down before it hit 12. Midnight, you were now in the Phantom Realm. Still in your house, still in your room.. Though you did have a driver's license so you decided it'd be best to finally get out of the house and at least look around for something different and better.. to give you shelter.
You got dressed in all black as you grabbed the car keys and a few snacks before you rushed out to the car and got in, Phantoms were surrounding the house as you drove away.
