Ifangeleen

Chapter Two

The sounds was almost like Death itself, bouncing around it your skull, mocking your very existence.

I finally remembered.

Paranoia.

The reason I feared life itself.

My innocents would shatter under the hand of this beast, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"Oh Lucy." The monster breathed. I started shaking and silently sobbing.

"Why you fear living? I will never know. But it makes torturing that lovely mind of yours just that much easier." The thing smiled and laughed again.

I spun around and tried to grab it but it turned to smoke and disappeared. "Come back!" I screamed. I started panicking. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be breathing. I frantically looked around to search for something, anything to end my life with. I turned to the mirror. I grabbed each side of the cool glass. I slammed my head into the mirror over and over and over again.

Not a damn thing happened. No cracks in the mirror, no headache, no blood. I tried throwing the mirror but it was glued it place. I screamed and began slamming my fists into the mirror. Again nothing happened.

I choked back a sob and turned my back on the cursed glass. I slid down and pulled my knees to my chest and squeezed my eyes shut.

Then I felt someone lift my chin up and wrap their fingers around my neck. I could still breathe and the person, or thing, holding my throat was Paranoia. It smiled and leaned closer to my face. I tried turning my face but all the creature ripped my face back to facing it.

"You are so innocent. You are so sweet. You are so fragile." Paranoia's smile grew.

"A shame it would be to lose all that..." The monster brushed its lips against my cheek.

"Stop! No! Leave me alone you freak!" I screamed.

Paranoia laughed.

"You're so pathetic. I'm a very organized person, if I wanted to take you, then I'd have to squeeze you into my schedule. We demons are very busy you know." He said sarcastically.

A demon? They're real? This has to be a dream.....but those words Dr. Black spoke.

"I-If your a demon then why should I trust you? You beasts are evil and unforgiving, remember? How do I know you won't just take me by force? Or while I'm asleep?" I started getting paranoid. What if I'll never be able to sleep again? What if he brakes me? Or worse, rapes me? I wanted to stay innocent. I didn't want to lose the only thing that was truly mine to a demon.

Paranoia smiled in response, "Maybe you aren't as stupid as you seem? However, seeing as your here now, you aren't as intelligent as we all though." The demon was staring at me while speaking. "We all?" I asked. "Who is we exactly?"
