p.o.v HER

I raised my head from the sink with water dripping from my face, staring at my reflection. My piercing blue eyes were glazing back at me as if they weren't mine, staring deep into my soul, judging me and disapproving of me and everything I have done. I was staring at myself however it felt as if someone else was staring at me with the same pair of eyes. How could your own eyes feel as if they weren't yours? I closed them then opened them again and stared at myself again, I seemed worn out. They were slightly open lazily which was understandable because I felt exhausted due to the advances that took place this week. 

I closed them took a deep breath then reopened them again. Nothing changed however I didn't expect it to... I reached out to the side for my face towel that was usually hung next to the sink and I dried my face. After I opened the sink letting the water go down the drain, I dried the sink and then turned the lights off.

Made my way back to my room I shouldn't have agreed to go for some drinks with Sam...

No, no, point of correction I shouldn't have let Sam drag me to get some drinks after work because I knew the consequences of doing so. I felt drained and exhausted both mentally and physically. Therefore, all I wanted to do was get some eternal sleep, unfortunately, that wasn't going to be tonight I'm afraid.

After turning off the light, I stretched my arms while yawning making my way to my bed that stood right in the middle of the room. I flipped the sheets over and crawled inside laying right in the middle. Then I pulled the sheets over my body, pulling and hugging them too close for comfort and warmth. I was ready to be swept off to Lala land, into a deep, deep slumber. However, in my case, that wasn't going to be the case.

I was not sure what time it was but I was certain it was either almost 3 am or it was 3 am. Everyone gathered around my room. Talking, requesting, pacing up and down. Giving me no headspace to clear my mind or peace of mind. I lay in bed facing the blank ceiling. My eyes were heavy with exhaustion and were begging, demanding that I close them so they could rest.

"Oh, please seek my mother, will you?!" demanded a ghost girl that stood beside my bed, I turned my head to face her, she seemed as if she had been dead for more than a decade judging from how she dressed. I looked away from her turning, so my back was now facing her.

I blinked my tired eyes and caught sight of Sandy who was standing across the room with her arms folded against her chest.

"Here to join the party?" I asked, my voice laced through with tiredness, "come! there's still a place for one more"

Sandy rolled her eyes at my sarcastic statement taking a few steps closer to my bed. "Why haven't you banished them yet?" She asked, "Haven't come to mind...."

"Sarcasm?"

"I'm afraid not......" A yawn escaped my lips "I haven't thought about it"

"Oh... I see..." She trailed, "Yea, brain too tired"

"Okay now do it so you will get some sleep"

I released a sigh shutting my eyes clearing my tired mind and focusing on the door that connected me with the dead which was in the deepest depths of my consciousness. I mumbled the words that would take me there. When I reopened my eyes, I was standing in front of a black huge door that had a lot of ancient drawings on it with two human skeleton heads as handles. Sighing while taking hold of both handles, using all my might to pull the door open whilst mentioning the last spell to get them inside.
