The Demons Within (Completed)

The Second Death

Grace woke up with a start again. She was sweating bullets. Her breathing became laboured. She immediately looked at the time. It was ‪11.03 p.m.‬. The exact same time she saw in what she thought was a dream.

Beep! She received the same message from her friend. Doom! The sound of the flower pot breaking echoed through her ears. She called out for Aunt Steph but this time no answer.

Grace was too afraid to even go out of her room. She gathered the courage and when she walked out, there were only two birthday cakes on the dining table. In a perplexed state, she walked to the window and saw Aunt Steph sitting on her rocking chair.

In anger, Grace knocked on the window really hard to grab Aunt Steph's attention. That was when Grace realized that Aunt Steph was headless.

Crash! Aunt Steph's head which was smeared in blood came crashing on the window. Grace was too shocked to even scream. She immediately turned to run but something stopped her. To be more specific, someone. There was someone blocking her way. A guy who looked similar to the creature she always imagined but more human stood in her way.

Just as Grace was about to run away from him, he slammed her head onto the window. Large shards of glass embedded into Grace's face. The intruder kept slamming Grace's face onto the glass.
SLAM!
SLAM!
SLAM!

Each slam harder than the previous one. Grace's face was utterly unrecognisable. The intruder let go of her hair and her lifeless body fell to the marble floor.
