I sit staring at the mirror in front of me,how time has changed in the last few days. I was once crying for incomplete assignments and tests and now here I am thinking what my mother and sister would be doing...who might be standing in front of them, what they might be eating...
My sister, her hair the same colour as my mother's, they were so similar. The same softness, calm and shine in their eyes, like honeydew , like the soft sunrays. I missed their warmth. I was not like them, my hair was dark , my eyes were muddy, as if the world didn't leave an ounce of innocence in my being. Maybe I was like my father, never really knew how to show love and care, how not to hurt people we love.

A tear slipped and trailed down my now hollow cheeks. Wiping them , I sigh looking at the ceiling of the training room in which I have been sitting for the last hour. A movement caught my eye in the mirror, something on the ceiling. I glance behind but nothing was found.

" How are you dear Serene ?" I hear someone but there was no one in the room except me. I slowly turn my head , standing up and getting ready for whatever was coming. A weird looking finger enters the room through the window and then the wrist and palm and the whole hand crept inside, slimy movement as if a snake slithering to attack. The fingers seemed twisted and mingled with each other as if done purposefully.

The whole world came to a hault, I could hear my heartbeats, thudding against my ribcage. Two eyes suddenly came into vision and I screamed on top of my lungs. I hurled towards the glass door and the creature behind me laughed diabolically following me behind. I swiftly moved towards the staircase and threw a vase right at it and it moved back. I ran away, faster than I ever could , not believing the speed I had gained. The creature suddenly grabs my hair and whirled me down on the floor , I screamed and punched but to no avail...it had a stronger hold, as if it will rip out my hair from my skull.

And then the horror comes in, I look at the creature, a human by its face , eyes a greyish tint as if possessed, and a smile so creepy I wanted to throw up. It's hair covering the rest of its face , sticking with sweat or whatever liquid it was. A stench of death hit my nose and it was as if my life will end then and there. Suddenly the weight of the creature on me was gone and I saw the redhead grab it and shoot it in its head. Red blood spilled all over my face and walls , splattering and I vomited as bile rose up my throat.

What was this ?!?
Who was this ?!?
How did it know my name and also the fact that I can read minds ?!?

So many questions started racing my mind as I started taking deep breaths, someone rubbing my back and telling me to relax. Darkness took over my vision and I fell into slumber.
