The Demon From The Mirror

Chapter 22 : Demons

"Take the knife. Pick it up." a voice instructed.

Emily followed the instruction.

"Go find her!"

With that Emily walked out of the room, passed the gates and went to find her.

She went to her house and knocked on the door.

"Afternoon, is your daughter here?"

"She's upstairs. You may go up Emily. It's a surprise to see you here."

"We have homework to do together. I need to finish something."

"Oh okay, she's upstairs."

Emily went up the stairs and stopped in front of Rileys door. She knocked and Riley opened.

"Emily what are you doing here?"

"I need your help with something."

"Oh okay."

"Can you come with me?"

"Where are we going?"

"My house." Emily answered but Riley knew that there was something dodgy going on.

"I can help you here."

"I'm not asking you again Riley. Remember you destroyed me, you at least owe me this. Let's go. Final asking."

"okay." Riley went to her cupboard and put on sneakers and a hoodie.

they left her house and Emily lead her to the house.

"What is this place ?"

"I came across it and I figured you would like it." She said looking at Riley, a smirk forming on her lips and a flash of green going through her eyes.

Riley saw the smirk and green and immediately started questioning Emily.

"Shut up will you? it's not like you're going to die. at least, you better hope you won't." Emily said opening the door.

"let's go inside then, shall we ?" Emily said going inside and Riley followed.

Emily made her way to the room she found the mirror in, Riley following slowly.

"We arrived to the place I want to show you."

"a room ?"

Emily turned around and faced Riley.

"this isn't just any room. this room is precious. this is where I found my strength. the strength I needed to overcome the bullshit you were spreading. the place where I found who I truly am."

"who you truly are ?"

"yeah. I learnt that I'm so much more than people realise. I found my demons. demons that I didn't realise I had. but I'm not scared of my demons. I'm not scared of the dark. how can you be scared of something you're so used to ? so the question is, do you know who you truly are ? what are you so scared of that you decided to be a bitch towards me ?"

"I'm not scared of anything."

"yeah right. everyone has something they're afraid of. it's deep down inside, we just refuse to admit it."

"I'm not scared of anything."

"Oh yeah ? well, I think you're lying."

"who cares what you think ?"

"I think you do. You sure you don't want to hear ?"

"No, I don't care what comes out of your mouth."

"okay, remember that when shit happens to you."

Emily turned around and headed towards the door, picked up the knife, turned around to face Riley and threw it at her.
