"Amity, Amity can you hear me?" someone questioned as she regained consciousness. "Amity, dear, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, I can hear you" she replied as she slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes. "What happened?"
"I'm not sure dear, we found you and a fellow classmate unconscious on the floor."
"Who? Who else was unconscious?" she questioned shooting up from her position lying on the bed.
"I'm not allowed to say."
"Please, Mrs. Cassidy. I need to know." She pleaded, staring up at her with a desperate look.
"Oh ok, but don't tell anyone that I told you."
"Promise." Amity had held her pinkie up to Mrs. Cassidy who returned the gesture and let out a sigh.
"The other person was Ryder, he unfortunately died. We aren't sure how though."
"Wait, what?" Amity questioned perplexed, "do they think I did something?"
"No dear, of course not." Mrs. Cassidy replied, "they looked at the footage and saw that you both fell unconscious at the same time. So we aren't sure how he died. But you go home and get some rest dear, I will see you tomorrow."
"Ok Mrs. Cassidy, I will do." Amity then walked out of the nurses office and out of the school. She didn't stop walking until she made it into her house."Amity?" her mum called as she walked in the door, "are you ok? Why are you home so early?"
"I'm ok mum," she replied as she stopped to talk to her mum. "I just had a fall at school."
"Oh my god! Are you ok?" her mum asked perplexed.
"Yes, I am ok, I'm just gonna go up to my room and get some rest."
"Ok dear." Amity turned away and headed into her room. She shut her door and collapsed on her bed trying to put the events of the day behind her.
'I told you.' The voice said. 'I told you he had to be dealt with.'
"What the hell did you do?" Amity questioned. She was honestly outraged.
'Oh me, I did absolutely nothing. You on the other hand...' Amity was astonished
"What did I do?" she questioned. "I was unconscious!"
'Were you though?'
"What do you mean by that?"
'I mean that you weren't really unconscious, your body appeared to be, but we actually killed him.'
"But how? I mean how could my body 'appear' to be unconscious? And how did we kill him if I was unconscious?" she was confused.
'Well, yes, your body was unconscious, but your soul was embedded to me. So I just popped into his body and killed him.'
"But how?" Amity honestly thought she was losing her mind. "I mean how could you possibly pop into a person's body and kill them?"
'Well, you will never find out.'
"How come? If you're 'living inside me' then I should know."
'No.' That was the last of what she heard from the voice that day.
