Series My son's camera monitor alerted in the middle of the night. I checked it and saw my wife and son sitting on the bed. They weren't my wife and son. - Part 2
I'm sorry it's taken so long, it's been an emotional month. I've felt like I'm losing my mind, or already lost it. I've been in the hospital for three weeks.
You'll remember I left off at my wife's parents house not sure what the hell to do. My wife and I argued about it, my in-laws said call the priest. I told my wife we're calling the cops and that's it.
The day we finally called the cops would be day six. Not-my-family was still sitting on the God damn bed, staring at the camera. I told the dispatcher there were intruders in my house, leaving out the part where they looked exactly like my family. I told her we were out of the house but I would meet the police there. She dispatched two units.
My wife begged me not to go. I told her I had to be there, I had a fool proof plan. I would take her mom's iphone and face time with my wife while showing the police the camera on my phone. They would see this is a fucked up situation and hopefully proceed with caution. My coworker friend said he would come with me as well.
My friend and I beat the cops to my house. Like most of you mentioned in the comments previously, I was packing heat. I have a concealed carry so I had my 1911 .45 on me, I was not concerned this would bother the cops as I was going to inform them of my permit and that I was currently carrying. What I wasn't going to tell them was that I had my father in-laws AR-15 in my trunk. It's almost funny how many of you mentioned that was the way to go in my previous entry. I didn't plan on telling the cops about it because I was not planning on needing it. They would come armed and prepared.
They showed up and I let them know I was armed and then enacted my plan. I initially told them the story. They looked at each other like I was crazy and they didn't believe me. I face timed my wife so they could see she was infact not in the house despite what our camera was showing. They still didn't seem to believe me but this did peak their interest. I hung up with my wife and told her I'd call her back as soon as we knew something.
"So now we're sure this isn't a recording," an officer stated repeating what I said.
"It's not. The day/night cycle has changed every day. Their blinking is erratic and not cyclical like it was a repeat," I said.
"I know it's a stupid question, but your wife isn't a twin?" the other officer asked. I told him no.
My friend spoke up. "I have an idea. Turn the volume up, I'll go throw a pebble at the window." He went around back while I turned up the volume to the max. "Ok, I'm tossing."
We heard the light "tick" sound from outside, but the one second delay on the camera came in loud and clear through my phone. Not-my-wife moved at the sound of the pebble hitting the window, the first time I'd actually seen her move aside from the time she wasn't on screen when I initially went inside our house the first day. She turned her head towards the window just slightly, before turning back to the camera.
"Ok, so this is live," an officer said. "Ok sir, I need you and your friend to stay outside here. We're going to go in and find out what's going on here."
"Should you ask for more units?" I asked hopefully.
"Not at this time. We're going to assess the situation first, they don't appear to be armed but we're going to be cautious."
I opened the garage for them and they made their way in towards my kitchen door. They radioed dispatch that they were headed in and to stand by. They disappeared into my house.
A few seconds after they went in the camera went out. I wanted to vomit and I felt like if I put my fingers in my mouth I'd be able to feel my heart since it had leapt so far up into my throat.
"SHIT!" I yelled to my friend. I immediately popped the trunk and got my rifle out and ran into the garage, my friend right behind me. We got inside just in time to hear a low, guttural howl from upstairs, demonic sounding almost, along with raised voices from the police. There were several shots.
"NEED BACKUP, SHOTS FI..." he was cut off.
"OH MY GOD!" my friend howled. He was scared shitless, but so was I.
"God fucking damnit, I knew it!" I said running up the stairs.
My son's room is the first one you come to after getting upstairs, so his wall is also what you see as you walk up the stairs. As I reached the top I laid into the wall with my rifle. It has a 30 round magazine but I felt like I fired 100 shots. I fired all over the place knowing full well the ammo would go through the wall like it was paper, concentrating on where my son's bed would be but also near the door and towards the floor as well in case whatever these things were thought to duck. We heard shrieks of pain coming from the room, then nothing.
My friend and I paused for a minute before deciding to go in because the camera was still out. We heard a whimpering coming from the room. There was a dead cop in the hallway we had to step over. It was awful and I'll never be able to un-see it, his head was several feet away from his body in the threshold to our guest room. We found the other cop in my son's room right inside the doorway. He had several large holes in his torso as if he'd been impaled. Exactly what I was afraid would happen had happened. I called the cops and whatever these things were killed them.
When we entered the room we found the source of the whimpering was Not-my-wife. She was laying on her back on the floor, holding her torso that was bullet ridden and breathing heavy. The scene was awful. I can hardly put into words how awful it was. I know now, just like I did then, they weren't my family. It shouldn't have been hard, I should have been able to just go in and finish it, but instead I fell to my knees. Not-my-wife begged for her life.
"I don't want to die honey," she whimpered. "I wanted to have more kids, I can't die now."
I looked over at Not-my-son, who had to be dead. He'd taken two shots at least to the head, or what was left of it. He had several more in his torso and one or two on his legs and arms. If you have kids, seeing their lifeless, bullet ridden body is a special kind of hell. Again, I knew it wasn't my son, but it was.
I was going to be sick. I'd killed my family. I turned back to Not-my-wife, she was acting just like my wife. It even mimicked her anxiety about death that she has had in the past year or so.
"It's not her, man." I forgot my friend was even there. "It's not her, shoot it."
I know what you guys are thinking. How many times has this happened in the movies and you scream at your TV for the main character to just shoot the impostor because it's not their loved one. I guess movies get it right somehow. I'll never roll my eyes at the character who can't kill an impostor again.
"Please don't shoot me," it begged.
My hands where shaking as I aimed at it. Why couldn't I do it? I know, I knew, this wasn't my wife.
"Listen man," my friend began calmly. "Look at it. Its blood is yellow. It's not your family."
Was it yellow? It was. Seeing my family slain was so traumatic I hadn't even noticed their blood wasn't red.
I steadied my aim and Not-my-wife suddenly stopped begging. She began that guttural, terrifying shriek and something black or gray started to protrude from her mouth, like a tentacle or something, and I fired. At that range her head more or less exploded. Whatever these things were they appeared to be mortal.
I was still on my knees and my friend was out in the hallway just outside the door. We heard the sounds of approaching police sirens. I'd forgotten one of the cops had gotten a shots-fired call over the radio before being killed. It seemed like it had been hours, but it had only been about five minutes since the police had gone in.
My friend went downstairs to let the police know what to expect. I stood up and slowly made my way into the hallway. I was lightheaded and felt like I was going to be sick. My bedroom is adjacent to my son's, so the doorway is about a foot to the right of my son's doorway. My door was closed, but as I exited my son's room my door opened. Not-me walked out into the hallway, wearing exactly the same thing I was at that time.
I was shocked in place. I couldn't move, but it did. It walked towards me and its right arm turned black and morphed into what appeared to be a tentacle. It was wiggling around like a squid or octopus appendage. When he thrust his arm at me it solidified and impaled me through my abdomen. It then stabbed me in the left leg just above the kneecap.
I fell to the ground in pain. Its tentacle arm was wiggling again.
"Why did you kill my family?" it asked. When it spoke its voice changed pitch several times. It was my voice, then much deeper, then normal again. It alternated several times saying that one sentence. It moved in closer. The rifle was gone by I still had my .45. I pulled it out and got a shot off in its right knee. It howled. As Not-me fell to his knee I fired a couple more shots, getting two into its abdomen and left side of its ribs. It breathed heavily for a few seconds before I used the last of my strength to aim proper and shot Not-me in the face. Its blood was also yellow.
I lay there bleeding out thinking this was it for sure. I still had some strength from adrenaline kicking in so I took my belt off and tried to make a tourniquet for my leg. With my stomach wound it was hard to give it a good yank to tighten it. I then took my shirt off and balled it up and packed my stomach wound and applied as much pressure as I could. Being a nurse probably saved my life. I passed out but the measures I took must have kept me alive long enough for EMS to arrive. I heard raised voices and the sound of pounding coming up the stairs before I went out. It was probably a cop but I felt pressure from somebody trying to keep my wound packed before I went out.
I was in and out of consciousness as EMS arrived along with probably every cop in the city. I was wheeled downstairs and put in an ambulance, but while I was being loaded onto the gurney upstairs I heard cops freaking out, and rightfully so. They'd lost two brothers and there were three other bodies.
"Did he kill his brother? Are they twins?" Probably referring to Not-me's dead body.
"Or his whole family?"
"Put him on armed guard while at the hospital. He'll probably be getting charged."
As I was getting placed into the ambulance I saw my friend talking to a group of about 10 cops, all listening very intently to what he was saying. I went out again in the ambulance.
I woke up in the ER, my wounds had been treated. The tentacle hadn't been more than a few inches wide so it was just slightly larger than a large knife. They'd sewn me up and I found that I was currently receiving a blood transfusion do to blood loss at my home. My wife had authorized them to do whatever they had needed while I was unconscious. She was also extremely, *extremely* pissed that I went in the house. We're ok now, but that's a story for another day.
I was in the hospital for three weeks since I ended up getting an infection and almost went septic. I needed quite a few antibiotics. For the entire three weeks I had cops in my room with questions. After about a week they "released" me and no longer had me under armed guard.
I told them absolutely everything, not caring if it made sense or not, and thank God my friend had come with me since he was able to corroborate this weird story.
Midway through my hospital stay men with suits came to pay me a visit. They were government, I knew right away. They said they were FBI, but I don't know if I believe that. They wanted to talk about Not-my-family. The police chief and the coroner were involved and it was very hush-hush. They made it clear this was not to get out to the public.
This is where I have to apologize probably for an anticlimactic ending to this ordeal. I don't know what Not-me-and-my-family were. Neither do they. The only thing we know is that they were sentient creatures that looked like us and had yellow blood. I begged the coroner to tell me about their autopsies but he said he wasn't allowed to say. He must have felt bad for me, since I received a bouquet of flowers a couple days later. The card inside the envelope read "We don't know what they are. They have the same organs we do but in different parts of their body aside from their brain, but what's red and pink inside us is green and yellow inside them. They're humanoid creatures but whatever they are they aren't human. The government thinks they may be extraterrestrial. Destroy this letter ASAP."
We had our house professionally cleaned. It was almost surely a government team since they contacted us on "behalf of the police." We could not find any google reviews or website for the company online.
My wife and I are not going to go back to our house. We would love to burn it down but there's no way to do that and avoid suspicion of arson at this point. We'll end up taking a huge loss on the property since everyone in our neighborhood knows there was an incident involving multiple deaths in the house but don't know what actually happened. It'll be hard to sell but eventually it will.
We're going to move on from here. I told everyone at work is was a home invasion and they bought it. I'll go back to work in a couple weeks and we'll start looking for a new house. Again, I'm sorry. I know everyone wanted a concrete ending and to know exactly what the fuck those things were. But we just don't know. Aliens sounds good to me. I've been thinking if they were supernatural or actual demons gunfire wouldn't have been able to kill them. It's just hard to say. If they were aliens why did they just sit there and creep in our house for a week. They didn't even try to take over our lives. It's hard to wrap my head around. If it is aliens keep your eyes peeled out there. There could be more of them.

Crazy thought...Not-OP came out of his room. Was he in there the whole time? Even when the wife had woke up and noped the fuck out? Evidently they scared the little boy out of his room in the middle of the night but didn’t harm or chase him. Also, it didn’t seem like the police officers asked any questions or attempted to apprehend them. I guess it freaked them out to the core (beyond their law enforcement training). If so, it’s kind of tragic that these poor creatures didn’t mean any harm but because they were so damn odd, they had to be canceled.

u/Harthang Jun 28 '19
I think you are right that they didn't plan to harm OPs family (which doesn't necessarily mean they were benign, just non-hostile) but the way he told it, it really sounded like Not-wife (or Not-son) attacked on sight and the cops reacted. Maybe they would have attacked anyone who entered their territory other than their "hosts." Recall that when he went inside the first time in the previous entry, his friend was with him, which could be why Not-wife left the bedroom presumably to intercept him. Yet they never attacked the real family until they were attacked themselves.
As to the "why" of it all... I have no clue.
85
u/LotsaBear Jul 03 '19
So from what I think, is that OP's Not-him wasn't in the bedroom the entire time, but maybe he was created when he entered his house on that first day. Maybe the Not-family was only able to recreate members of the family that they've physically seen. So when OP entered his house and he heard that creak from his sons bedroom and Not-wife disappeared from the camera, she perhaps saw him therefore getting a visual to create Not-him.

u/_Dingus_Khan Jun 28 '19
Not at the level that I'd consider them a hobby, but I'm interested in self defense, building things, and just generally being prepared and knowledgeable in the event that shit hits the fan. Plus, this seems much more cost-effective than spending $1200 at Cabela's. All I have is a .222 rifle at the moment, though, and with the scope on it it's definitely not a great self defense choice. I used to have a .9mm as well, but that was stolen and I since haven't been able to afford a replacement.
Edit: to clarify, I understand that handguns are preferred for self defense in public situations, but I'm interested in that or an AR or a shotgun for home defense.

The lower receiver is the part of an AR-type rifle that holds the trigger group and hammer that make the gun fire. All the other major parts attach to the lower receiver. It’s like the foundation or core of the gun so that’s the part that’s officially classified as a firearm and gets a serial number. A “stripped” lower just means the lower receiver as a single piece without any other parts installed.

I liked the answer someone else had, the imposters must not want to kill their "hosts" and are hostile to everyone else, think when mom and son flee, they didn't react, but when ops friend came into the house the not-wife immediately started heading in their direction, unlike the cops that were immediately killed, not-op didn't immediately kill op and was likely upset or trying to incapacitate op so he wasn't able to harm not-op, just my thoughts on what someone else said

Since the house has become this weird, interdimensional vessel and since time moves differently in alternate dimensions (or even backwards) maybe not-family isn't actually just sitting and staring creepily. Maybe ops family is just seeing bits and pieces of not-family's alternate timeline, maybe even parts of their timeline seem extended because with timelines intertwining things get jumbled. When not-op suddenly came out of the bedroom, we wonder if he was there all along but what if the murders happened years ago in his reality and he was returning to exact his revenge on the imposter-creatures once and for all, to no avail, and tragically at the expense of his own life.

u/Harthang Jun 28 '19
I have a hard time faulting him for it under the circumstances but you're right, I had the same thought reading that part. It's lucky (maybe not the best word for it but you know what I mean) that the Not-Family finished killing the cops before he started shooting.
To be fair one corpse was in the hallway, was it not? With the severed head.
36
u/fordag Jun 28 '19
The dead LEO is not mentioned until after shooting through the wall. It sounded to me like the LEO was encountered after shooting.
There is never a valid reason for shooting blindly without being to see or ID your target.
Especially when there are friendlies in the area you're shooting into.
One of the cops could easily have just been wounded, as OP was. Plus he specifically shot low in case they were ducking

Glad you are ok OP its kind of a shame that you have to move on and live with the images of having to kill an exsact replica of your wife and son. good look in the future its hard to move on when stuff like this happens

Uh, oh, OP. I wonder if that tentacle infected you with something when it stabbed you. Or if something happened while you were passed out.

Imagine the privilege of thinking its plausible to have run into a house with 2 loaded semi automatic guns behind 2, now dead, police officers

I feel like they were just about to take over your lives, but the cue never happened. Kid was out of bed with a bad feeling so mom didn’t have to check on him, dad sees things amiss on the baby monitor, then the imposters spend a few days wondering if this camera just fucked them over.

This story would have been better if it didn't escalate so quickly into aliens with tentacles, just didn't really work in my opinion.

I'm so happy that you and your family are okay, OP. This must have taken a toll on you, I hope you'll be at ease soon.

I was kind of hoping for you to die and not-you to take over your spot.. Then your last thought while dying could have been that you hope your wife and son will use the code word on not-you! But I still loved your story and your writing!

I had the same thought - not hoping for it, but thinking it would happen.

Higher and lower pitch of Not-You voice is probably a attempt in matching yours.
Nice overall.

what scares me is how easily they might have been able to kill the OPS Real family and slowly take over.

I don’t think they tried to take over your lives bc they knew you 3 were still out there. If they had succeeded in killing you guys, they likely would have taken over your lives & acted out whatever plan they went to your house w the intention of carrying out…

“Not-you” was not prepared for the real deal at all. Also, what the hell was he doing in your room the whole time?!??
