"Whatthefuck! Whatthefuck! Whatthefuck!" I screamed, running down yet another corridor.

My chest was heaving and breaths were gasps as the air trickled from my lungs. I had been running for ages and yet it felt like I had gotten no where. I yanked open I door and ran down, you guessed it, another freaking corridor! I yelled out in frustration.

"Giving up so soon?" The voice echoed around in my skull, banging and rattling. I screamed and clutched at my head.

"Get out!" I yelled at the voice. It simply laughed at my request.

"Don't you remember?" The voice whispered. "YOU let me in! YOU are the reason I'm here! And I don't think I want to leave after you have given me SUCH hospitality!" It laughed at the end. "I am you now, Laura, If I leave, you come with me." I screamed again, pain shooting down my spine and spreading through my veins. "If I hurt you hurt, if I die, you die Laura."

"That's not true!" I screamed at the nothingness that surrounded me. It couldn't be true, that THING and I were opposites!

"Try me!" It screamed. Then something appeared from the darkness. A figure. A girl, around the same height as me.

I screamed, once again, as she stepped into the small amount of light that surrounded me. It was me, but, something was wrong. My face was twisted, melted somehow. My teeth were shown and, they were yellow. My favourite red dress, the one I am wearing right now was torn and bloody, turning a dark brown-red.

Tears now poured from my eyes as she, me, stepped forward with a knife in her, my, hand. "Do it." It whispered. Kill me, kill yourself. I:m just gonna come back anyway." It smiled evilly as I took the knife.

It glistened in my hand, taunting me. My lower lip shook as 'it' bent down, guiding the hand holding the knife towards its own chest. It smiled again as I plunged the knife deep into its heart, gasping as blood poured down my own dress.

I sat there gasping for air and attempting to grab onto anything within reach, but there was nothing.

"Laura Odell was found dead tonight. The cause of death seems to be a single stab wound to the chest. No weapon was found at the scene."

I stared at the TV screen, screaming at it to make sense. I WASNT DEAD! 'It' was! I looked over at my mum, tears were steaming down her face.

"I'm sorry moma, I promise that thing wont hurt you again. "

I had no idea how hard that promise would be to keep.
