I woke up to a sound.

Confused, I turned towards it and sucked in a sharp breath when I saw a teenaged boy hitting his head against the glass repeatedly. I sat up and watched him. Is it one of my hallucinations or an uninvited guest?

"Who are you?" I asked.

He did not answer – blood had leaked through from the broken bone, stained the glass and seeped to the floor. The repetitive sound of bone hitting the glass was terrifying and unnerving. The scene before me – a young boy whose body had rotted through – used as a ragdoll made me hesitant and very angry.

The body has been possessed by a vengeful spirit – I could sense it from here.

"Stop doing that."

The boy kept on with its mission.

"Stop!"

The boy did not heed my words so I had little choice but to stop it. I raised a hand and watched as the boy stopped moving, the eyes rolling back to reveal the whites and then the body finally dropping to the ground as the spirit was flushed out. The spirit was of an older man – vicious and bitter as he spat vulgarity at me in another language.

"Shut up," I said.

"Such a heroic act."

"Don't find me here."

"To think that the powerful is here, locked up behind some miserable glass wall. He knows. You can't hide anymore. He will find you and take you away."

"You won't be able to tell him where I am," I warned as I tightened my hold on him.

"Don't bother. He already know."

"Bullshit!" I yelled and extinguished him, the body disappearing.

The doors hissed open when the armed guards heard me yelling, and they turned pale with fright when they saw the blood that was splattered on the glass wall and leaked to the floor.

I sat on the bed – unmoving – simply staring at the spot where the boy had been.
