"You can feel it cant you?" It asked stroking my hair softly. "You know I'm here, dont you Shaylee? Don't you?" it continued stroking down my face with its long beast-like claws. I stared straight ahead, ignoring its presence. "Do not ignore me, Shaylee!" It yelled with a firm voice, as it crept from behind me, slythering in circles around me. "Don't answer, Shaylee" Mitch whispered standing a far distance from me, watching with close eyes. "You, my dear girl, start talking or I'll give you something to be afraid of" It whispered, breathing down my neck causing me to shiver. "He can't hurt you" Mitch said still watching as the creature circled around me trying to grab my attention. "Talk! NOW!" It shouted holding my chin up with the tip of its nail. I shivered in fear. "Mitch" I called as my lips trembled. "You're stronger than him" Mitch whispered watching my every move. The creature laughed loudly with an evil grin as it watched my reaction. Its eyes were fully black and it was covered in stitches. Everything went silent and Mitch's eyes narrowed as he stared at the creature. It took a step closer as it traced invisible lines around my face. The creature took a final breath and stared deeply into my eyes, examining my entire face. "Speak" it whispered leaning in closer to my face. I ignored and stared at Mitch, not giving it any reaction. "Speak!" It began again. "Speak, speak, speak, SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEAK!" It yelled continuously and then began to laugh again. "SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEAK!!" It laughed. I shuddered as I noticed Mitch wasn't there anymore. My mind started to panic and my heart began to pump. "SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEA-" It was cut off by a loud scream from behind. "STOP!" the firmiliar voice yelled causing the creature to dissapear. "Shaylee" Mitch whispered. Without answering my body fell to the floor, I closed my eyes, "goodnight".
"Shaylee, so great to see you back" The doctor said getting down on his knee to come face to face with me. "So how is my favourite patient?" He wondered messing up my hair. "I'm good" I said, annoyed, trying to fix my hair again. "She's getting worse, Daniel" Sarah said holding her palm against her forehead. "Just take a seat, Sarah, we'll get this sorted out" The doctor said pointing towards the seat infront of his desk. "The nightmares are getting worse.....This Mitch thing is getting out of hand" She sighed starring at me with a dissapointment in her eyes.
'"mhm.....tell me, what's been happening" The doctor asked, taking out his pen and notebook with eyebrows raised.
"She always wakes up screaming but when I go to check up on her, she's sound asleep, she's constantly talking to herself, and she's starting to get violent. I got a call last week from her teacher saying she pushed one of her classmates down" Sarah said with trembeling lips.
"It wasn't me,I didn't push her, It was Mit-" I began
"Shutup" She whispered coverring my mouth with her hand.
"mhmm" The doctor said nodding his head slowly as he wrote down notes on his notebook.
"Shaylee?" He began getting down on one knee to my level. "Could you tell me about your nightmares?" . I lost focus and looked up to Mitch, He stood behind the doctor and nodded his head. "Shaylee?" The doctor asked trying to grab my attention. "What?" I replied still starring at Mitch. "Please?" he asked putting his hand on my shoulder. "Its just the inner monsters, we all have inner monsters. They just want to talk to me but Mitch says that I shouldn't talk to the inner monsters" I answered firmly.
The doctor stared at me with his jaw slightly dropped. "What is this? Is she possessed by the devil? whats wrong with her" Sarah cried.
"Sarah, calm down! Obviously she has picked this type of information up from school or maybe television? just dont worry, Sarah, We can fix her" The doctor said leaving the room.
"Here, make sure she takes these. These will make the nightmares go away and these will make sure that this whole imaginary friend thing go away" He said pointing to the two bottles of pills in his hand.
"No! No, you cant take Mitch away!" I yelled. "Shaylee, calm down, you'll be better if you take these" The doctor said grabbing my shoulder. "NO!"I yelled running out of the room. "Shaylee, Shaylee!" Sarah called.
I ran to the furtherest room in the building, locked the door and fell to the floor, my face covered in tears. "Please dont let them take you away, Mitch, Please!" I cried. "Please...."
