Strange Love (Ali(OC) X Reader)

{7} Mirrors And Temptations...

~Third Person~

It's been around three months since Ali and [Name] had met, and Ali knew about her feelings- but wasn't sure how to tell [Name] that she liked them... they had exchanged socials and phone numbers after a movie on  December 8th so that they could plan dates and hangouts without it being at school...

  Ali was looking in the mirror, only in a bra and shorts.  She examined her scars and random splotches of dried blood engraved in her skin that she could never get rid of. Why am I like this? Why are my eyes different colors? Why did I make these scars? I'm so fucking ugly- "oh- I guess [Name] REALLY wouldn't like you- they like pretty girls... girls with normal eyes. Girls who don't do self harm..."the voices echoed through Ali's mind.

"Ugh- shut. Up!" Ali threw a pillow at the shadow only for the shadow to catch it...

"W-What..." she thought out loud. "Oh? You didn't notice? The more you give into my domains- the stronger I get!" It paused and threw the pillow. "Soon enough," it paused and walked over to Ali and put its hand on her chin and whispered into her ear. "I could travel your body without any interruptions..." it grinned. It looked so human- but it also didn't at the same time.

  Ali was scared- but... god- why does it's actual, human voice have to be so goddamn sexy... Ali thought. "I can still hear your thoughts you know..." it sighed at its voice distorting. "Aw... I was hoping we could 'play' a little longer..." it pulled away from Ali. And grinned once more.

"Maybe we can later..." it whispered once more before leaving. What the fuck... Ali thought.

Ali looked around for new clothes for another hangout at the mall with [Name]. She found a good outfit and looked in the mirror, she had decided to wear the same makeup as the Cafe Date [Name] and Ali had on November 9th.

Ali grabbed her bag and looked in the mirror once more. "You look like a fucking slut..." the voice said, mumbling something that Ali couldn't even try to make out. "Aw... is someone jealous of [Name]?" Ali teased while walking out of her bedroom.

  Ali waited for [Name] to get there with their new car that they really wanted to show her.

~Voice/The Shadows POV (BETCHA WERENT EXPECTING THAT HUH-)~

I watched as [Name] picked up Ali for their little 'date'. I just wanted to know why I liked to torment Ali so much- and why it hurt so much to see her with others...

I decided to watch them as they wandered around the mall, taking a few looks at some stuff that were in the windows. I decided that with the power that I have now; I could make my own body suit! I decided to do that but before I made it I read through Ali's diary, skipping to the page where she talks about her problems and how she would 'kill for someone to help her'.

   I heard the front door open. "That was so much fun, [Name]!" Ali said. "I know... hey, uh- would you maybe... meet me at the park after school?" I heard [Name] ask her. "I'll be free after school, sure." I heard Ali speak in her sweet voice. "Well, I've gotta start cleaning. Bye [Name]!" I heard Ali say. "Bye, Al!" I heard [Name] call Ali 'Al' A nickname she never let me  call her. I heard a door shut and Ali plopping down into the couch.

I walked downstairs, out of her sight. She was red as fuck. Then I saw her grab a pillow and yell into it. She threw the pillow across the room and stood up, she then proceeded to stomp on the ground.

"STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!" She punched her backpack. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL THEM YOUR FEELINGS TODAY!" She shouted.

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TALL THEM YOUR FEELINGS TODAY!" Ali shouted and slid down the wall. "Fuck- what has love done to me?" She asked herself. "You've gone soft- you have to give up!" The voiced echoed.

Ali looked into the mirror, ignoring her reflection. She touched the mirror, hearing the voice coming from it. "They don't like you..." Ali proceeded to look at the mirror.

Once Ali looked in her reflection's eyes, they were pure white... Ali gasped and fell back. "Break the window Ali" the voice spoke. "Break the mirror, Ali..." the voices chanted over and over.

~[Name]'s POV~

  I was getting into my car when I heard someone scream. I looked at Ali's house and studied the windows.

The windows were pitch black and there seemed to be no problem. "That's... odd..." I spoke. I searched for my keys, then realized I forgot them in Ali's house. "Shit..." I started to go up to the door. "Break the mirror, Ali..." I heard a strange voice speak.

"N-No... No! Stop!" I heard Ali shout. "[Name] wouln't care... nobody would even care..." the voice sounded more and more human by the second.

The talking stopped. I assumed that everything was fine, so I knocked on the door. "Who- who us it?" I heard Ali ask. "It's [Name], could I come in? I-I left my keys!" I spoke. "Sure." Ali spoke once more. " okay... I'll open the door then." I grabbed the handle prepared for anything.

Once I opened the door, I saw Ali standing there, her back to me. "Uh- are you... okay?" I asked.

"I-i'm- uagh! Im fine." Ali said. It sounded like she was fighting something... but not in the way you think. Like she was fighting the urge to say or do something.

Hah! You thought there's more? Well there will be lol idfk-

But in all seriousness- why is my boo dying? I wanna know what I'm doing wrong...

Btw, that's was supposed to be Ali just freaking out- and trying to figure out how to say it, I promise I'm not that cringe 🫢
