"Who are you?" I ask her.

"I'm Maddie, your alter self triggered by your amnesia. And I am your worst nightmare"

On with the story....

THIRD POV

"I dont understand." Riley says confused. Bewildered, she looks around noticing where she was.

"Where are we?" She asks the doppelganger infront of her.

"We're here at your preschool days. The day they bullied you, the day you met me"

Then, a little girl about 6 years old sat there by the swings. Her brown curly hair flew backwards and forwards as she rocked the swing. The little Riley was having the time of her life.

Her bright smile lightened up the playground. She was having fun, but it all crumbled to pieces as two boys, just the same age as her, walked over to the swing with their smug little faces.

"Hey Shy Riley! Get off the swing!" The other boy ordered her loudly.

Riley recognized the boy's face, she didn't want to believe who he was.

"Brandon?" Maddie grinned evily.

"Yeah!" The boy beside him said. Again, he looked oddly familiar.

"Lucas..." Riley said faintly.

"No. I'm using the swing" Little Riley said shyly. Bowing her haid, afraid on what they might do to her.

"Not anymore" both little Brandon and little Lucas approached her, forcing her to let go off the chain. But before she could even hop off and run, they started swinging the swing fast and hard.

"Ahhh!" Screamed little Riley, making her fall off the swing from up high and land. Unfortunatley, she landed her head on a rock. Making her head bleed internally. She was slipping away from concsiousness and before you know it. She drifted off to a deep sleep.

It all faded away, and the flashback was gone, making their way back to the dark.

Riley felt like crying, she suddenly rememberd everything, but she didn't though of Brandon and Lucas the same way.

She was hurt inside, she was broken. They made her this way. Riley knew what they did. Lucas lied about moving to the big city from Texas for the first time. Brandon lied about not knowing her at all before all this commotion. They both lied. Thwy both bullied her when they were young.

She fell to her knees, clutching her head. She couldn't take the pain. The Lies. Especially the memories.

"Now you see what kind of person they really are" Maddie smirked. She walked to Riley, her high heeled boots making faint noise.

"Why are you doing this? Why?!" She shouted angrily. Maddie kneeled infront of her. With a sweet but evil smile plastered on her face.

"Sweetie, this is for your own good. Do you really wanna live a life with a lie?" Riley didn't answer.

"I thought so" Maddie stood up again. Looking down at her, arms crossed and her evil smile still there.

"I'm here to give you a chance to decide" Riley looked up at her alter ego, tear stained and teary eyed.

She stood up wiping her tears away and put on a strong face.

"Do you want to remember" Maddie snapped her fingers making a collage of memories of her childhood from when she was being bullied by little Brandon and little Lucas. All the pain she had bottled up inside her turned her heart to stone.

"Or forget?" Maddie finnished her question.

Riley walked up to the scenery behind Maddie, making Maddie step back and let her remince.

Riley watched every single memory, in the middle was little Riley. She was in a classroom, crying and om her knees. The sight of them made her cry, it made her more stronger and more cold. She wiped her face feriously, looking at the crying little girl for one last time.

Turning around, making her hair flip and her eyes colder.

"Remember"
