I woke up to hear knocking on glass. At first I thought it was the window until I heard it come from the mirror again. I stood up from my bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. It was 12:39. I walked up to the mirror cautiously and I saw my own reflection, as normal. Not that I believe in that supernatural stuff anyway. I looked around my room to be sure it wasn't coming from anywhere else. I turned around only to see the mirror fogged up. I raised my eyebrow at this and laughed. I wasn't going to be scared this easily. I called out to my roommate, Seth. No response. I was still staring at the mirror. I call out to Seth again, hoping for a reply. I check my closet, to make sure he wasn't hiding in there either. I walked to my door. the floorboards squeaked beneath my feet. I felt a shiver run down my spine. I laughed to myself and though, " Seth must be trying to be cheap again, I swear I'm going to kill him if he doesn't turn up the heat." I tiptoed to his door and pushed it open, I walked up to him and rolled him over, only to discover his heart was ripped out and he was badly mutilated. I began to panic. I ran into the office, trying to find the house phone. My eyes scanned across the desk that was littered with papers. I gave up on that and ran back to my room, hoping to find my cell phone. I glanced at the mirror again, making sure nothing else had happened there either. I saw a line forming into the letter in the fog, as if a finger was dragging along the glass. First an "R". Then an "E", and continued to write, but more violently and aggressively than before until it spelled out R-E-V-E-N-G-E. Revenge. Revenge for what? What did Seth ever do to deserve that? The mirror etched something down again. "You're next." I looked around, scared, Hoping not to become nose to nose with my future attacker. Suddenly, the mirror shattered and a hand reached out, followed by an arm. I looked at the clock, 12:45. It's eyes darted towards me in an aggressive manner. It lunged and pinned me against the dresser. I tried to scream but it was too late. She had already covered my mouth before I could even let out a yelp. She began driving her rotten nails into my chest and it just looked at me.
"What did I ever do to you?" I spat as a tear rolled down my cheek as I took my last few breaths.I woke up, drenched in sweat. I glance over at the clock. 12:39. I heard that knocking noise again and ran out of my room. " SETH!!!" I screamed hoping he was still breathing.
He ran out of his room and looked at me with wide eyes. "What's wrong, he asked. I wrapped my arms around him, hoping maybe the worst wouldn't happen. I didn't notice the looming figure behind him until I heard his high pitched wail. I screamed as well as ran down the hall. I could hear the scraping of nails on the tile floors. I shut my door, trying to find my phone. I glanced at my clock, 12:44. I saw the fogged up mirror began to spell a word. I knew what was going to happen next. A hand exploded out from behind the glass, sending a spray of glass shards everywhere. I began to panic. It was 12:45. I saw the looming figure again preparing for the worst. The creature pinned me up against the dresser. I screamed and I felt tears spill down my face. She began to drive her rotten fingernail and looked at me with her cold, dead eyes. They were so full of hate. "What did I ever do to you?" I sputtered as blood began to pool on my chest when I took my last breath.
