--- Ghost's POV ---

"Hey, Katrina!" I ran up to my friend. She was sitting on the swing, staring at the ground, her long, black hair covering her face. "How're you?" I sat on the swing next to her and swung my legs. "Monster..." "Huh?" I looked at her, confused. What does she mean? "What do you mean?" She looked up and ahead slightly. "You. You're a monster." Me!? "What!? Why?! Why do you say that?? What'd I do?!" I hopped down off the swing and looked at her, trying to see her face. He skin suddenly got very pale and she looked up at me. Her eyes were dark and she looked like she was in pain. She slid off the swing and walked towards me. I, terrified, stepped back. "K-Katrina??" "Monster!! You did this to me!! It was you!!" "What!?" She sprinted towards me but I just barely dodged out of the way. She landed face-first on the ground. She slowly pushed herself up and I grabbed a stick to defend myself from my... friend...? "Y-You... y-you did this..." I lowered my gaurd slightly, as she seemed to have calmed down. "Did what..?" "THIS!!" She shrieked at me then started floating. Her hair seeming to defy gravity and her eyes turned even darker. She was nearly invisible and the quiet obvious pain seemed to be growing by the second. I stepped back again, afraid of what she was doing. This can't be happening. What's happening!?

She shrieked again but this time fell to the ground. She clutched her stomach and hunched over. Quickly reminded that this was my friend, I ran over to her. "K-Katrina!?" She looked up at me-.. no... not me. She was looking past me. She didn't even seem to notice me. I looked back behind me and saw something that I'll never forget. A boy, about 10 years old, with blood red eyes and dark brown hair, grinning from ear to ear as he watched his best friend slowly and painfully die. I looked back at Katrina who was now no longer standing. She was laying on the ground, close to death. I bent over her and cried. She seemed to notice me now though. "K-Katrin-..!" She glared at me weakly and coughed up some blood, "M-Monster... y-you're a monster..." With those as her final words, from her to me, she gasped and died. I looked back to confront the boy who'd done this to my friend. He shrugged and I quickly tackled him to the ground and glared at him. Though he seemed unamused. He actually seemed to be enjoying himself. Disgusted, I went to punch him, only to be kneed in the stomach. I coughed and rolled off of him, clutching my stomach. He smirked and knelt next to me, "Don't you remember me? You didn't forget about me, did ya? I'm still here y'know. Just because I'm quiet, doesn't mean that I'm gone. I still exist and I still control you. This is just a... a preview... of what will happen once everyone calms down. Once they trust you. They will all love you. They will think you're so smart and so loveable. And then I'll come back. I'll finish what I started. I'll finish your friend. Then those multiple other people. And everyone that you love. And y'know why? Because I'm insane? No. I'm not. Its because I hate you.

"You. You're so perfect. So wonderful! Everyone loves you. And everyone hates me. Jealously really is a strong emotion, huh? Ya wanna see just how strong? Just wait a few years. Go ahead, forget about me. The sooner you do, the sooner I can come back. So be my guest and forget all that you like. Anything you want to forget, let me know. Anything you want to remember? Let me know. I'll fix it all for ya. Just ask." The boy grinned and took out a knife, holding it to my throat. I gasped and looked at him, "Any last words, dreamer?" "... w-w-who are you..!?" The boy frowned then grinned mockingly, "My name's Jimmy Casket. I am you and you are me. It's like looking. In. A mirror." The boy laughed then lowered his knife onto me, causing me to scream and sit up.

Wait, sit up!? I panted and looked around. Home. Room. Bed. Pillow. Dino. Oh gosh... nightmare... bad.. bad.. bad, nightmare.. horrible nightmare.

Its not a nightmare. I heard that same voice cackle in the back of my head and grabbed my dino, hugging it tightly. My grandfather rushed into the room and ran over to me. He asked me if I was okay and I told him what happened, not going into the details of the nightmare, afraid that they would send me back to that place again.

After a while, my grandfather managed to clam me down. He asked me if I wanted to come to their room for the night, but I told him I'd be fine. He stayed until I 'fell asleep.' I waited for him to leave then looked up at the ceiling. 'I don't know what that dream was, but it a never happening. Thank goodness dreams don't really come true...'



Oh, but they do....

Short restatement of... whatever those things that look like status updates are called: Wattpad app it evil and won't let me add/edit/read stories. Luckily, I had this chapter typed up already, so I can just upload it. (And obviously edit it x3) But it won't let me add new chapters for some reason....
