Lilly's hand gently glides over the foggy mirror, clearing a large enough area to see her face. She had taken a long soothing shower, trying to clear her mind, but it didn't work. All she can think about is Ethan. She shivers despite the warm temperature inside the bathroom as Ethan's face pops into the forefront of her mind.
She twists the sink's faucet handle, causing water to cascade out of it. She cups her hands under the water, her face leaned close to the sink, she tosses the water into her face.
"Stop it," Lilly mumbled to herself, as the water dripped off her face.
She tilted her head back up to look at herself in the mirror, and in the corner of her eye, she spots a large black spider lurking in the corner. Her mouth drops as her eyes grow wider. It's the same beady eyed spider that was used to torture her, back when she was stuck in the deep void of her mind.
She kept her eyes glued to the spider, using the mirror, as she slowly creeped her way towards the door.
Her hand gently touched the tip of the doorknob, when the spider sprung through the air, hitting Lilly square in the face. Her screams were muffled by the spider's enormous body. She clawed desperately at the spider, trying to rip it off her face, but the spider bites hard into her face like it's an apple. The the spider's grip on Lilly's face grows stronger with every second. The bite starts to sting, as the air disappears. Waves and waves of nausea pass over Lilly, as she stumbles around the room, trying to stand up straight.
Suddenly, Lilly looses all her balance as she flies toward, her head slamming into the sink, as her body crumbles to the ground. The spider let's go of Lilly, before cracking into a million little pieces, laid upon her face. The pieces of the spider then melt into her face as the blood drips out of her forehead.
Suddenly, flashes of her drowning pop into her head like a camera's flash, playing in her head like film. The same fear she felt as her breath escaped her body, came flooding back into her mind.
Suddenly, the flashes stop. Lilly's eyes jump open in a rush. She stares up at the bathroom ceiling, as her head bursts with pain. She slowly lifted her her head off the ground, as her hair lifts out of the blood that covers the floor. She lifts herself into a sitting position, before dragging herself into the corner of the room. Her back pressed against the cold tiles on the wall, as she brought her knees close to her body.
Her lip trembled, as tears slowly dripped from her eyes. She knew that what she saw wasn't a mind game, it was the truth. She remembered dying. Her forehead wrinkled together in large lines, but the pain from her injury forced her to stop.
"It can't be real" Lilly mumbled to herself, trying to convince herself that it was a lie, but deep down she knew it was true.
Suddenly, the realization that she had actually died, splashed through her body like a tsunami splashing into a trailer house. A loud wail escaped Lilly's mouth, as she gripped the sides of her head, her nails digging sharply into her skin and hair.
Jasmine bursts open the bathroom door, her eyes searching wildly around the room before her eyes narrow in on the blood. Her mouth springs open, as her wide eyes slowly follow the blood streaks to the corner of the room where Lilly resides in.
Lilly stares out into the corner of the room, oblivious to Jasmine's presence.
"Lilly?" Jasmine's voice cracks, "What happened in here?"
Lilly doesn't reply, not even a flinch crosses her face.
Jasmine quickly falls to her knees, scooping Lilly into a hug.
"What happened here?" Jasmine repeated.
Lilly feels Jasmine hugging her tightly, but her gaze is still fixed in front of her.
"Lilly!" Jasmine screams, choking on tears.
Lilly's mouth opens, as if to say something, but no sound escapes her mouth.
Jasmine slowly pulls Lilly off of her, but she keeps her hands on Lilly's arms. Her eyes land on a large scar that stretches across Lilly's forehead. She stares with wide eyes at the scar. as it slowly transforms back into skin. In a matter of minutes the scar is gone. Not even one scratch from Lilly's injury, appears on her forehead.
Lilly, in a moment of clarity, brings her hand up to her forehead, where the cut used to be. Her fingers search blindly around her forehead, looking for her cut, but she doesn't feel it.
"What's happening to me?" Lilly whispers to herself.
Jasmine quickly looks at the floor, bitting her lip. Her arms slide down Lilly, falling to the ground.
Lilly stares directly at Jasmine's face. "What did you do to me?"
Jasmine's gaze slowly comes back up to meet Lilly's, before answering.
"I brought you back to life," Jasmine says, as a single tear streams down her face.
Lilly's eyes grow wide, as she slumps into the corner. All the feeling in her body seemingly drains away, as she stares out at her mother.
"I couldn't loose you," Jasmine said, as tears flooded her eyes.
"It's your fault he's in my head," Lilly mumbles
"What?" Jasmine asks
"It's your fault he's in my head!" Lilly shouts loudly.
Jasmine gasps, "Ethan?"
Lilly screams as tears burst out of her eyes. She flails her body wildly, stomping hard on the tile floors.
"Lilly!" Jasmine shouts, with eyes bursting out tears.
Suddenly, Lilly bolts up, running out of the room. Jasmine gets up from the floor too, rushing out of the room to catch up with Lilly.
Jasmine hears a small click, before rounding the corner to see Lilly opening the window.
"Lilly! What are you doing!" Jasmine shouts.
"No more!" Lilly shouts, before throwing herself out the window.
"Lilly!" Jasmine shouts as she rushes forward to grab her, but she doesn't reach her in time.
