Soon after that night the torment continued to worsen. The mirror would follow her, her dreams would terrorize her, and that 'thing' would stalk her at night.

Every time she passed the mirror or even glanced into it the cracks would worsen and the shadow behind her became bigger and more noticeable.

When she noticed the 'thing' at night in the most obscured places; it would appear even more and become more noticeable to the point it was right outside her windows.

When Lacey went to bed the dreams of being drowned in a black, sandy, and cold void will tendrils pulled her into quicksand.

Lacey felt trapped when she was inside her own home. Taking every chance to leave when ever she could. But one particular day she decided to take a hike into the woods.





But that didn't help her escape from the daily horrors she faced...




As Lacey changed into a warm maroon hoodie, blue jeans along with some black sneakers. Lacey tied her hair back into a ponytail as she left her house. She settled into her car and drove down the road towards the forest.

When she arrived she got out and started to walk into the woods. She walked across the ground while stepping on a few sticks or rocks here and there. The trees echoed with the sounds of wildlife as Lacey continued her adventure. After a while of hiking Lacey sat on a rock to catch her breath. She breathed in as she relaxed, soon closing her eyes.

But when she opened them she froze in horror.

On the tree in front of her was the same mirror. It glimmered as the light hit it. The cracks thickened and grew as Lacey gazed into it. The shadows were darker and lurked behind her reflection. A stick snapped on the ground from some where. Another chill ran up her spine as she huddled on the rock. The forest grew unnaturally quiet as the chirping and buzzing of wildlife went quiet.

"Tɾყιɳɠ ƚσ ҽʂƈαρҽ ɱҽ Lαƈҽყ?" A voice said coldly.

" W-whos there?! " Lacey asked scaredly.

" Yσυ ɾҽαʅʅყ ԃσɳ'ƚ ɾҽɱҽɱႦҽɾ ɱҽ? "
The voice asked mockingly.

" W-what? "
Lacey said.

" Aϝƚҽɾ αʅʅ ƚԋιʂ ƚιɱҽ... ყσυ ʂƚιʅʅ ƚɾყ ƚσ ɾυռ... "
The voice said quietly as it grew closer.
" Yҽƚ ყσυ αʅɯαყʂ ҽɳԃ υρ ιɳ ԃҽҽρҽɾ ɯαƚҽɾ... "

Lacey heard footsteps around her as the mirror started cracked even more.

She saw a tall figure moving in the shadows around her. Lacey felt like vulnerable prey that was being stalked by a predator about to attack. The figure kept moving until it was right behind her.

Lacey could see its silhouette in the cracking mirror until it came into view.

The unnatural height and skintone, along with same clothing, and the spine-chilling eyes that haunted Lacey.

" Yσυ ƈαɳ'ƚ ɾυɳ ϝɾσɱ ɱҽ, Lαƈҽყ... "
The creature said quietly.

Lacey screamed and jumped off the rock. She ran blindly into the forest as she tried to escape that thing. As her adrenaline rush ran out Lacey looked around her surroundings. She was at the edge of the forest as the sun was going down in the sky.
