“Finally awake are we?”
Adrianna’s eyes snapped open. Where was she? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and she saw the girl in front of her. Panic filled her as she saw her pull out a knife. She tried to scream, but her mouth was taped shut. The girl reached up and ripped off the duct tape, making Adrianna wince.
“W-what do you want?”
The girl smiled. “I just want to be beautiful!” she said. “I used to have bad eyes, but not anymore. Samara’s eyes look much better on me, don’t you think? Has anyone told you what a pretty nose you have? Your eyes are not so good, your chin is a little weak, your cheekbones are too low and your mouth is too small. But your nose… Your nose is simply to die for.”
Adrianna was scared. She was in the presence of pure insanity. The girl reached up, knife in hand. She gently dragged it across Adrianna’s neck, nicking it slightly and drawing blood. Then she began to sing. Adrianna remembered some of the words. They were from the story of Snow White.
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, I can now be the prettiest of them all!”
The girl smiled, and began to cut.
The next day, there were more missing posters in school. Adrianna’s face was on each one. Like all of the other girls, Adrianna was never found.
