"You know how to stop it?" The leather couch was cold, and the air clung to my skin.

"Yes." Lesley was sitting across from me on a wooden stool. The whole room seemed nice. A little too nice.

"Th-then why didn't you do it in the first place?" Narrowing my eyebrows, I stood.

"It's not that simple..." His head sunk down. "You have to understand first."

"Wuh-"

"I'm not real."

"Y-you're-" I stepped back. "No. No. No..."

"It's true." Then he vanished.

"Lesley..?" My body froze in horror. My lungs grew restless. It felt like forever... Like all along I had been alone. Like nobody would ever help me. Ever.

"Shh.." The voice made me jump. Warm fingers drummed on my shoulders. I cringed in fear. "I'm a poltergeist." Lesley appeared right behind me. My body lurched away from him.

"Don't do that!!!" I screamed. He snickered.

"Just a joke! It was just a joke." Lesley said in between laughs. He reappeared.

"Tell. Me. How. To. Fix. This." My teeth grinded together.

"Okay, okay," He raised his hands to surrender. His sleeves dropped down, and I could see the tattoos he had. They were very small, but detailed. "For starters, let me see your phone." Not taking an eye off of him, I slipped my phone out of my pocket, and tossed it over. It took a second for him to find what he wanted.

"What is that for?" He ignored me, and showed me the screen.

"Know where that place is?" It displayed the same message I had gotten before. With the girl chained up, and the gruesome lettering. This time I noticed something different. The girl in the picture.

"That's me."
