Empty Promises

"Are you just going to act like I'm not here? I'm in your mind Emily, I am you." I continued to ignore her.

"Why won't you just die Rose? This is my body, my life, mine." I spat at her with as much hate as possible.

"Oh Emily, you'd like that wouldn't you? Well that's not going to happen. I'm going to make your life a living hell."

I was growing tired of her, it's been three days since I've been trapped within my own mind. Rose was really starting to get on my nerves.

I've tried killing her as well, I've snapped her neck, broken her arms, and just tried to kill her but she doesn't die.

"We're going to have so much fun together Emily. You'll see. Now, it's time to wake up. We have things to do."

Before I could answer, my body was jolted up awake. I panted for air as I looked around the room. My parents, gramps, and everyone was at the foot of the bed.

There was a doctor holding paddles, and the nurses looked relieved. "We almost lost you Emily." The doctor spoke while putting the paddles away.

'We wouldn't want that now would we.' I heard Rose's voice at the back of my head. She wasn't gone. She's still here.

'But of course I am.' I could imagine her smirking. Bitch. "Emily? Did you get that?" I shook my head and gave him a small smile.

"No, sorry." The doctor frowned and nodded. "I asked how you're feeling at the moment?" Oh right. "Fine." Lies.

He took a seat next to me and crossed his leg over his other one. "I want you to tell me everything you can remember."

'Time to lie. Everyone will think you're crazy, if you tell them I'm here.' No, that's not true. No, no, no.

I took a deep breathe before speaking.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I forced a smile and nodded. "I'm fine, Alexander." I hated lying but I don't want him to think I'm crazy.

"Promise?" No. "Yes." He kissed my forehead before excusing himself to answer his phone. 'Do you think he won't notice? That you're lying?'

I tried to ignore her but nothing worked. 'I'm never leaving Emily don't you get that. The only way to get rid of me would be you dying.'

Death would be far to kind for you. 'I am you, Emily. Soon you'll be exactly like me.' A sudden flash of anger went through me.

"You're wrong!" I yelled out causing Alexander to come back in. I was clutching my head, "You're wrong! Wrong! Wrong!"

Alexander tried to touch me but I just screamed at him. "Get out! Get out! Get out of my head!" I started hitting myself and soon enough nurses and doctors rushed in.

"No!" I tried to fight them off but they strapped me down and injected me with something making my world go black.

"What happened?" The doctor asked me and I shrugged unsure. "I stepped out to answer my phone and then she just started yelling."

He sighed and looked at the clipboard. "She mentioned earlier something about hearing a voice, ever since she regained conciseness. What exactly happened?"

I took a seat and ran a hand through my hair. "She was injected with a part of some type of concoction made by an old pack member. I think somehow he's made her into one of us."

It was impossible but that's the only way she's still able to hear Rose's voice. "He wanted Rose to take over Emily, as you can see it backfired."

He wrote down whatever I said. "I don't think she's been turned into a werewolf. I think that whatever he did there was a mistake, and now mentally Rose is in her head."

Say what now? "Basically Rose is still apart of her, just mentally." Of course, that makes sense. "How do we make it stop? Her voice?"

The doctor looked at the charts for awhile, "We could put her on medication but there's a chance it won't work."

"And without medication?" The doctor sighed, "It's up to her, to block it out. That or else, she embraces it."

"How so?" He looked irritated by my questions but nonetheless gave me answers. "Basically she needs to stop fighting it. Rose or whatever is only there mentally."

I thanked him and allowed him to leave. I sat next to Emily taking her hand into mine. "You promised me that you were okay."

I knew that there was a possibility that she couldn't hear me but it's okay. "We made countless promises and yet you broke a lot of them."

I chuckled a bit, "Is that what it feels like? To find out that someone you love is keeping secrets and breaks promises? Because now I get it."

I kissed her hand and then her forehead. "No more secrets okay? Just don't fight it anymore Emily, she isn't really there."

I kissed her once more before walking out of the room. I knew what I could do to help, but there would be consequences.

"Where are you going Alex?" I didn't answer Tyler until I reached the door.

"The witches."
