"You should be scared of me!" She screamed. The last of her will was ebbing away, and she knew she had to leave or else she could hurt Ben.

So she ran.

~~~

She ran and ran, desperately fighting for her mind.

Whatever was wanting to possess her was determined and her brain felt like it was being sat on by a blue whale. As she ran into the heart of the city, she got many concerned and weird looks from pedestrians who probably assumed she had a boyfriend who had broken up with her, because of the tear tracks on her cheeks.

'NO! This is my mind... My mind...' She thought, trying to speak to whatever it was in her head.

Then suddenly she felt the pressure lift. The catharsis caught her off guard and she stopped running. Did it leave? Was she free? Her head throbbed, but it didn't feel like somebody was ironing it anymore. Breathing a sigh of deep relief, she began to walk.

Her body felt exhausted and her legs were screaming since the adrenaline had worn off, but she was relieved to feel free.

(Y/N) had only walked one block before something caught the corner of her eye. Looking into the alleyway beside her, her breath hitched at the sight of the alien. It stood right beside her, leering. She blinked.

It was gone.

Her breath quickened and she sped up to a jog. Behind her she heard whispering, right next to her ear. She turned.

There was nothing there.

Now she was fully on edge; a walking piece of anxiety mashed with a bucketful of dread. Her legs began to run down the street as fast as they could physically take her, but she skidded to a halt as a bus drove in front of her. It narrowly missed her and tooted angrily. She pulled herself to the footpath in front of a shop, out of the way of the traffic.

(Y/N) then looked into the window of the shop and almost shat herself. The alien stood in the window of the shop, staring right back at her. Its beady eyes were locked onto hers and she stepped back.
That's when she realised,

it was her reflection.

A sob escaped her lips as she turned around and saw that she was no longer standing in the street but in a room of fractured mirrors, all reflecting bits and pieces of the alien. The sound of her own distorted cries came ricocheting back to her.

A booming voice spoke and the cries stopped. The alien materialised in front of her.

"Human.

You cannot rid yourself of me, no matter how hard you fight. You will watch as I destroy everything the humans created with your body. They will believe that you despise them so much as to want to commit genocide. Your greatest fears will be the fuel to my success.

You cannot escape, you are helpless. Helpless."

She fell to her knees as she saw glowing magenta shackles form around her, binding her up. The floor then gave way and she fell and fell and fell, the world above growing all the more smaller until disappearing entirely.
