Clinging to her arm, there we go again...
She sees a reflection of her soul staring back up at her...
Dressed in red, that little girl smiles back at her, looking up into those broken, tear filled eyes...
Those pitch black eyes looking at her like she's crawled out of hell, a tug on her arm...
Making her life, remember the reason why she used to wait until sunset everyday to see her "so-called friends" ...
She realizes that its her mirror staring back up at her, the kid in her that was killed a thousand times over and over again...
Got so used to the yelling, the screaming and the pain that she flinches every now and then when someone tries to touch her...
I feel her warming me up... Her warm hands, a huge contrast to my cold ones...
The coldness subsides, her warmness pulling me in to comfort me...
I reach my arms out to embrace her only to realize that I've been decieved...
The little girl smiles innocently for the last time before transforming into a burnt-like figure...
Her smile slowly turning into a smirk as she wraps those elongated bony like fingers around my arm dragging me away from my safe place...
Her face now charred looking and grotesque, I slowly watch as the blood pours out of her skull seeping into my warm hoodie...
Crimson red, my favorite color, that metallic smell floods my nostrils enticing me to feel it pour down my wrists...
Those voices whispering into my ear, I feel her now clutching onto me, her sweet smell now disappearing and the smell of something rotten, burnt and disgusting hits me hard as I try to back away...
The blood pools at my feet as I try to back away, I can still feel it or her nails digging into my skin...
My skin burns as it repels her touch, I fight back trying to get away but its too strong and I eventually pull her away from him...
She no longer asks him to give into the deal and vanishes in a split second...
Now I'm left with her forever clinging to my arm, He's free and she's attached to me by the hip...
Its worth saving him though, "Take care of him", she said...
And so I did...
