Running in Circles

Getting Better

"Help me Victoria...I know you can hear me-"

I woke up without Laura beside me, I scratched my eyes and take a deep breath. I guess it's just a nightmare, but how can I be able to feel it.

How are these children just asking me about bad dreams? Scratch it no one is going to believe me anyways. I feel like i'am going crazy.

I saw my face, it's wrecked and my hair is a mess but I didn't last cause I don't want to see Quincy nor Alysda again. I couldn't help it but to just scream and cry, i'am so helpless in this house.

I walk out to my bedroom and ran down to the kitchen but no one seems to be in the house. Suddenly I heard my phone ringing in my bedroom so I quickly go upstairs again and andwer the call.

I answered the call "hello?" No one is answering me I heard a deeo breath...I closed my eyes, shaking and praying this isn't like the day I had last time

"Where were you last night? I called" It's just jessica... thank goodness

"I-i'am sorry i'am just sleeping that time, it's been a long day here ever since I..." I hesitate to tell her what am I really feeling in this house, she will not believe me...

"Ever since you??? What?" Jessica asked with a mouthful of curiosity

"Ever since I started there lessons.. because they are not studying ever since except tristan so.. it's hard, yeah" I just lied..

"Oh goodluck I know you can handle that,so have you eaten?" Jessica asked

I'am walking to every side and corner of the mansion but I couldn't see them "actually... I just woke up and went downstairs and... surprisingly no one is here but me" I said while making rounds in the mansion.

"Oh you know what check it outside, just dont get lost though" she laughed and so I did "by the way, i'am now the manager of the company and... guess what" jessica trying to tell me news.

But I payed attention to Laura she is infront of the pool... without anyone I tried watching what will she do

"Girl?" Jessica asked on the line

I saw the Laura jumping to a pool so I hurry up and went outside even if it's greezing cold.

"S-sorry emergency I have to go bye" I cut the line and run away from the house as fast as I can... barefoot

"LAURA!" I screamed while running and I went to the pool and dive in

I saw Laura kind of floating and her face is covered with her hair so I tried getting the hair out of the way....

And the face, it's alyssa it gripped my face and opening its mouth, I tried pulling it off of me but I couldn't pull it. I screamed underwater like anyone will hear me.

I then tried kicking it off of me ad swim out of the pool. I saw Laura and Tristan laughing.

"Got you!!! We got you! We got you~" Laura said while laughing and jumping while tristan and having fun and giving laura a high five.

I'am freezing, i'am feeling weak... i'am out of my breath I tried hugging msyself. I couldn't take my anger

"B-both of you! In the house right n-now!" I shouted. I saw their smiles turn into a frown. "NOW!" they walked to the house while jumping around.

I looked at the pool and it is a mannequin. But its alyssa, i'am sure; it's real... and it gripped my face and it opened it mouth.

I must've been going crazy now.
