After I got home I found a note on the door.
-Going away with Brian for the week. Hope you have a lovely time.
Love Mum!-
Ha.Typical. "Off for the week, love, enjoy taking care of yourself!" Go figure. God, she does this all the time with her newest boyfriend Brian. Ugh! Well, it's time to cook dinner. Actually nah..I'll just order pizza.
Dialling the pizzeria's number, I couldn't stop thinking about what I said earlier today. "Hello this is..." Suddenly everything went silent around me. My vision blurred and I fell to the floor. "Hello? Hellooo? Ah, another prank call again." I heard the voice on the other end of the line. 'Shiadow'  I heard a raspy voice. 'Sleeeeep..." Who was it? And even more so, why was the voice inside my head???

As I woke up I could barely remember what happened. It was like a dream. But if it was I wouldn't be sleeping on the kitchen floor. Maybe you were sleepwalking.... I heard a voice say. Don't think. Just go about your day Shiadow.

    But if the voices wanted me to forget about them, I wouldn't. They didn't know that to go about my day, I had to do what I always do. I had to figure out the mystery. That's it! I thought. They were the voices from yesterday when I passed out!  Maybe they are mind controllers... Wait a minute. Where have I read that before? My assignment! I went to find it and I printed out, and started to read some of it aloud.
    "...the Skinwalker has the power to read human thoughts, allowing it to use the victim's own fears and secrets against them. The Skinwalker has the ability to control the minds of its victims, forcing them to comply with whatever the Skinwalker may have in mind."
    Maybe what I said about them being real wasn't so ridiculous after all...

You should have given up darling Shiadow. Now only your strength and willpower can choose whether you live or die. Now only you can decide between death, or the life of one of us.  After I heard those words, I felt a sharp pain in my head and as quickly as the pain began the world around me went black.
