Kidnapping Sophie

The dark shadows

Song: Inner Demos By Julia Brennan

Once he is gone I go to the bedroom and I lay on the bed. I toss and turn and before I know it I am pacing the floor, back and forth...back and forth. I look up in the far corner and I see spiders creeping down the wall...not just one but so many that I can't count them in time. I blink and they are gone.

But when I turn to walk again I see them on the other wall...I know if I move in that direction they are bound to jump on me. I know they will. "Go away." I say out loud...as if they can even hear me. But when I blink a few more times they are gone.

I hear a deep voice behind me and when I turn nothing is there. I have to remind myself to breath so that I don't pass out or lose my mind. I keep telling myself that nothing is real...this is not real it's only my mind playing tricks on me.

But then the voice comes again. "You stupid girl...you think he cares for you...he left you he isn't coming back."

I turn to look behind me again, but nothing is there. "Yes he will...he will be back. He said he was going for a walk...he will be back."

He bellows, "Stupid little girl...why would he want you...you are nobody...you are weak...sick...stupid...get real here."

"Go away." I yell into thin air. I know he is there however I just can't see him.

 I leave the room and go to the bathroom. Of course he has to follow me. When I look in the mirror I see a black shadow behind me but when I turn around it is gone. I close my eyes for a few seconds telling myself this is all in my head...it's not real...it's not real. I breathe out...my trembling hands find my head and I try to push in on both sides to take away the pressure...the freaking thoughts running in my head. I hate when the voices come like this...

"Do it...just do it...you don't like me talking to you...you want me to stop...bang your head against the mirror...it won't hurt...it will get rid of me." His voice is somewhat calm...but deep almost like a father scolding his child.

I shake my head no... "No...go away...just leave me alone." I look up into the mirror, hoping to get another glance at him.

"Do it and I will leave you alone...go on I dare you to do it." He gets louder and louder so loud that my head feels like he is stabbing me over and over and it's about to explode.

 I keep shaking my head and before I know what the hell I am doing I am banging my head against the mirror. It didn't hurt the first time or the next time I banged it...so I kept doing it over and over until I crack the mirror along with my forehead. I look up and see blood all over the mirror...all over me, running down my face. No not again...this can't be happening...

I walk backwards toward the tub, stepping in and then crouching into the far corner. I get into a fetal position to rock myself back and forth...I start to hum... "hmmmmm....mmmmm.....mmmm..."

I believe I passed out because when I wake up its pitch dark in the room. I stumble out of the tub and make my way to the hallway. Every room is pitch black and Kade is nowhere to be found. I find the candle and use the matches beside it to light it.

I walk through the cabin...and no...he is not here. What if the voice was right...what if he left me...what if he never comes back?

I am starting to panic as I run to the front door to go out and I am stopped by demon red eyes glaring back into mine. His nose snarls up so that I can see all his sharp teeth, not to mention the droll hanging loosely from his mouth. I know he wants to attack me; to eat me alive...this demon looking creature keeps growling at me. I watch as his ears twitch and his eyes grow a deeper red. I slowly back away from the door and then slam in its face before he can get to me.
