Violet looked at herself separated from her very own body. The person she saw was revolting; her mind shattered the image before her which made her go in a sudden daze and uneasiness. The person in front of her, sitting on the couch was silent. It had long curls of locks which cascaded from its shoulders. The bangs of hair covered most of the face with shadows and nameless faces which lay within. The body was distorted and cracked in most parts, the legs were bent in a terrifying angle, enough to show the milky bones that were stained with red. Unfortunately, Violet found herself looking at the spirits neck, it was contorted in such a way it was hard to tell what expression it had on its face which filled Violet with instant horror. Everything looked hazy and her eyes prevented her from focusing on her surroundings after it appeared in front of her. She started struggling to move her body. Her hands, torso, her whole body was paralysed with sudden realisation and ludicrous illusions of fear as a Cheshire smile crept at the corners of the dark firgures lips, then it started twitching with sudden subtle movements. As the imposter smiled, the bloodied white teeth could be seen as it tried to curve its lips in a sentence but wasnt quite managing. Yet... It was already too late. She was trapped.

It was eerie and almost unreal. Almost.
The figure before her had her head down and the tendrils of her hand started twisting in unfamiliar shapes, which made the insides of Violets stomach feel heavy and twist in knots that made it hard to breathe. The sight of seeing Violet so vulnerable seemed to please the unknown spirit..
An echo was heard... the figures lips started quivering before the crusted openings created by its pale, lifeless, lips slowly lifted up. It was painful to watch as the figure cracked and screatched with movement when it started to lift it's head up to have a better look at Violet. Then it spoke: "Are you happy now?" The reflected figures voice was so hoarse it sent shivers down Violets spine which resulted in goosebumps all over her body sending impulses of shock to her knees which made her shake uncontrollably.
In its lap laid the head of another figure which then was ripped off with a single clean knife slice that was previously placed on the couch where the imposter of Violet sat.
"Is this what you wanted?" It looked straight into Violets eyes but there were no eyes on the unknown figure. It's eyes were black and hollowed without a remainder or sign of a soul. Instead there were memories that were on repeat as she was forced to gaze into them. Hands from all directions started ripping the remaining body that was near the unknown figure into shreds leaving fragments of milk white bones behind. The walls now painted with innocent blood stained Violets hands. Blood ran down the walls in streams. She could hear the screams of agony from the innocent people she hurt, people she killed to be with only one, for revenge and self satisfaction.
"Help me!" Echoed in her mind. "Violet! Please don't do this!", again the ringing began, "Are you satisfied?" Staggering backwards she held on to her ears in hopes it would stop torturing her fragile mind. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she screamed in response.
"Leave me alone! Please, leave me be!" But, It wasn't working.

Her bones ached and tore under her layers of skin. She has chosen this path. Now she must walk it in this distopian world she has created.
"You are nothing more than what i am..." The silhouette spoke in a sharp tone. It lifted up the - now severed head - it was Desians.
Violets heart stopped beating, her eyes started burning more until streams of tears stained her crimson cheeks from shock and despair that started clouding her mind.
"You are nothing more than what I am..." it repeated before vanishing. Violet scrambled out of her bed covered in sweat and bruises all over her body.
"This is only the beginning." It whispered one last time before Violet shook herself out of her never ending nightmare trying to steady her heart beat and stop her tears.
