The water is starting to turn cold now and I'm not so keen on baths- bathing in your own dirt... Ew.

Lifting myself up on the side of the bath tub something in the mirror catches my attention.

A flash of some sort- something unknown.

Grabbing my towel from the plastic rail I wrap the blue fabric around my body mopping up the wet drips hanging from my body.

Looking in the mirror I notice my eyes are bloodshot and puffy- I've obviously been crying.

Stepping forward the flash of light shoots past the mirror reflection again.

Gasping I turn around to look out the misty window looking out to our garden.

Nothing.

What?

Must be a coincidence.

Opening the cabinet above the sink I look for the moisturiser and concealer- I am not ready for the questions I know my mum will bombard me with.

Wiping the skin coloured cream under my eyes I hear a splash behind me from the water I was just in.

Spinning around I inspect the bath but nothing is in there- what is happening?

Fear creeps into me quickly.

What.

Is.

Happening.

In.

My.

Bathroom?

Trembling I run out of the WC and sprint into my room sweating with fear.

I can't go back in there.
