For the first time in my life I saw death standing right in front of me, I tried to scream but my throat burnt dry, All I could do was stare with fear building a Canon inside of me. She took another step and the light went back on but this time she has dissappered. I turned to run but seeing the door that was closed before widely open sent a shock to my leg. I moved backward with fear but I guess that was'ntsuch a good idea."RUN" a voice ranged from my back, without turning to see my speaker I ran out of my room racing for my mother's door. The light at the doorway started blinking viciously making it hard for me to see clearly. I finnaly reached my mom's door banging it like a burglar.
"mom please open " I screamed shivering like hell.
The door was locked from the inside which was unusual but I can't think of that right now. I kept banging on the door till it finnaly opened and I jumped into it. I sticked my self to my mom's arms crying profusely. She calmed me down although giving me the "what the heck is going on" look. My towel fell at the door way leaving me stark naked shaking like a mentally drained cub. She covered me up with her bed sheet and within minutes I was asleep.I was awakened by the two lady murmuring in front of me maybe arguing.
" morning mom, what's going on" I asked pretending to be unaware of my last night insanity.
"Nothing dear, how are you feeling?" She asked trying to seem calm but I know she's terribly troubled. " fine I guess, although I feel like my head is killing me ugh" I responded.
The lady she was with started firing me up with questions, the only explanation I gave her was I think I visualized the scary movie I watched yesterday.
" sorry mom, I thought I saw something in my room last night but It's definitely the movie i watched was scaring my ass to death"
if i do give them the real explanation, I knew I was definitely ending up in the asylum . They didn't seem to believe my story but they let it slide. Mom took the woman outside and after an everlasting conversation with her. She finnaly came back in. She did wanted to stay at home with me for the day but I convinced her to go to work. I wanted to deal with this mystery alone before it gets out of hand.
After she left I summoned courage and went back to my room. Everything seems pretty ok to me, the the lights were working, i was still searching around for my ghosts when my laptop switched on by itself......................Ok here it comes...................
I walked quietly to it trying to break down the fear building inside of me. Mails filled my inbox so i started checking all of 'em. OMG pictures of the girl I saw last night both when she was alive and her dead corpse. I totally freaked out cause it was like seeing a pic of me. We look heavily identical, I couldn't see the resemblance last night because of the blood that she was drenched with. My light blinked twice and I knew that was her arrival signal
SHE'S BACK
i slowly turned to view my greatest fear. She was standing beside me with tears in her eyes , I quickly ran out toward the stairs but I tripped and almost landed on the staircase with my head but I didn't. I was floating in the air and within seconds I got my balance back and ran down the stairs But now I could see she doesn't really wants to hurt me. It might sound crazy but I still had a huge urge to go back to her, I tiptoed back upstairs with the faith that I might make it back alive. She was still standing at the same spot. " I won't hurt you, I just want us to be friends" she voiced out cutely but still scary.
She stood like a statue staring blankly at my window, She turned to stare at me and that really drilled the life out of me. I sat on my bed still meeting her gaze trying to figure out what word I should use yet I thought of nothing. She came towards me, the closer she is the more my heart skips it's beats, She sat beside me placing her bloody hand on mine. I closed my eyes tightly then took a deep breath to revive my dead voice " what do you want from me" I asked still with shut eyes.
" your friendship, I want to be with someone that's just like me"
Did I just heard her say, " someone like her" that's certain that she knew about our resemblance and maybe there might be a connection. Immediately memories of her inccident started flooding my mind until I guess the pain was too much for her so she quickly removed her hand from mine and the visions stopped. I opened my eyes not with fear this time rather sympathy. Her eyes locked in mine for a few minutes and she finnaly breaks it off by disappearing. I quickly stood up turning around to see if I can still see her image but she was no where to be seen. " Don't go please" I unbelievably said out loud. My laptop switched back on with a text writing boldly on itAM NOT GONE, AM ALWAYS WITH YOU
T
hen it went off again, The feelings I had was complicated, being sad for her was understandable cause am a human but the happiness in me that she said she was with me is what am going crazy about. I took a shower, dressed up and went for a stroll. I wasn't myself all day, thoughts I was not supposed to have kept creeping into my mind. MOM was seriously worried about me cause I came back late. She has already made dinner but none of us were hungry so we went to our separate rooms. It dawned to me that I haven't had anything since morning yet am still not hungry. I got into my tub and relaxed, just like I expected, my night visitor came by. I heard my door squeak but this time I was not afraid, I sat anxiously for her to come into the tub but she didn't. Few minutes later I came out dressed up in my pyjamas, I was drying my hair while staring at her sitting on my bed right on same spot she sat this morning. I lay beside her and by the way she stared at me, I can guess she was confused on why am not freaking out right now. She locked her eyes in mine this time with more energy than before, Maybe she got bored and freed me but I was still not moving an inch. "I want to become you" I heard her say but I could see that her lips never moved. I felt my self snap out of my delusions, I think all those while I was on a spell. When I looked up at her face i freaked out but not as bad as usual.
" all I want is to make the people that did this to me pay severely, you know I have a family too just like you , a loving mother, a caring father and a naughty little brother but those monsters snatched them away from me, I wished I was wise enough to avoid those guys but I guess It's too late for regrets but not too late to punish them. All I ask for is you" she narrated. Christ was she just asking for a permission to posses me, I thought of it and It never sounded like a bad idea since we were so similar or maybe That's how stupid I thought of it . But I still needed to know what am about to do, I boldly started nailing her with questions and she answered everything without moving her lips. She's definitely in my head already so I gave in. "THANKS" was all she said. We both laid on the bed facing each other and I was expecting her to jump into me like I watched in the movies but she never did. My eyes betrayed me and I slept off only to wake up the next morning a new me. The Jessica I used to be was gone,I've found THE OTHER HALF OF ME but that means losing my first half..................
