These are Our Inner Demons

Sarah's Story

Hello my name is Sarah, I am 15 years old and I have been having these horrible nightmares. In my nightmare I see a figure that looks like me and talks just like me but it always seems to be trying to attack me or do something and no matter what, I can't get away from it. One time in my nightmare it talked to me and told me that I was going to die and that it would be the one who controls my body forever. The dreams don't always happen but I've noticed that when they do I'm already dreaming and the world around me begins to turn terrifyingly scary, and that's when "it" appears. I've tried telling my parents but when I do they just tell me that I'm watching to many scary movies but I tell them that I haven't watched any scary movies for almost over a month. I wouldn't have been so concerned with the dreams if what happened to me one time didn't happen. One day I was walking home from school and half way through my walk I noticed that I wasn't able to move anymore and when I tried to call out for help I saw the figure from my nightmares as it started to walk closer towards me. At this moment I was ferociously trying to move and call for help but no matter what just like in my nightmares I couldn't do anything to get away from it. When it was about reaching distance it stopped walking and just looked at me, it had felt like an eternity just sitting there looking at it until it finally said something "See I told you I would take your body" and within seconds it leaped at me entering my body. I could feel it inside of me moving around as if trying to make itself comfortable in a weird way, but then it stopped and I was able to walk once again. I immediately ran for my house and made my way to my room.

It had been about a month since (what I'm going to call it) "Rain" entered my soul or body and ever since then I've been noticing that I'll "blackout" a couple of times a day but whenever I do I never seem to remember anything. It's almost as if I went to sleep, like I would be at my house one moment then I would be outside with my friends yelling at me that I shouldn't say stuff that I apparently said. When I try to tell them that I don't remember anything they just start yelling even louder until I can't take it anymore and walk away with tears flowing down my face and confusion running threw my head. There's been only one time that I remember what happened when I blackedout, and it wasn't pretty at all.

It was raining and I was outside some person's house and when I started to walk towards the house I couldn't see any lights on, but when I went to turn the knob of the front door it was open. I walked in and started towards the kitchen to grab a knife from one of the drawers, I then started towards the stairs and went straight to a door that was half closed, and when I entered, there was a women laying in the bed. She appeared to be asleep and that's when I raised my hand with the knife in it, I tried to stop my hand from going into her but it was no use. I watched the knife plung into her throat multiple times then into her stomach, and then everything went black again and I awoke to be in my bed the next morning. I thought that it was all just another nightmare until I turned on my tv and saw that there was a women brutally murder last night and that there was no evidence as to who could have done it. I was petrified at that moment but for some reason I had this wonderful feeling which began to make me start to slightly cry at the fact that I was enjoying the death of this poor innocent women. Then while I was crying I heard a voice that sounded all to familiar that said "Why are you crying for such a pathetic person like her? To be honest she had it coming, I mean she didn't even try to fight back if you ask me she wanted to die." I started to freak out as the feeling of enjoying her death began to grow more and more until I started to smile and start laughing. "More I need more death, more pain, more agony." I could hear my own self say and with that I was gone forever no longer in control of my own body lost forever in darkness of Limbo.

"Now the fun really begins"
