The Demon Inside Me

KAYLEENI almost never wanted to open my eyes after being stocked on a dreamless sleep. Every time it happens, something unpleasant surprises my eyes. The last time I did, I just saw a stranger dead in front of me. Tears started crawling down my cheeks with my eyes still tightly closed.“Kayleen? Are you okay?” I immediately open my eyes and hug my mom when I heard her voice. She is sitting at the side of my bed and is waking me up like always. It makes me feel like it’s just a normal day.“Where were you last night?” she asked while caressing my hair. Wiping my tears away, we parted from the hug. I tried to remember anything but I’m just blank. The last thing that I knew I did is that I had a fight with my best friend. After that, I don’t know anymore.“I don’t know. I’m sorry mom,” I said. She smiled bitterly. “I need to go to Shaira,” I added walking straight to the door. She failed to stop me as I storm off the

KAYLEENThese things can’t be real. The doctor is gone but I’m not taking them. I’m not going with medications and I’m never gonna believe her. “Why won’t you believe her?” she’s speaking to me again with her creepy face. Her hands touched my cheeks and she leaned closer. “You are a demon. You are a murderer.” Her whispers made me feel like my blood is on its boiling point. “See? You are angry!” she added and dodged my hand attempting to grip on her arm.“I’m not,” I said with my face still stained with tears on both cheeks. I’m tired of crying anymore. Now, I’m angry and is daggering furious gazes on her.“Yes you are.”“I’m not!” She laughed and laughed making me cover both of my ears and scream.“Kayleen!” My parents came inside my room. I saw my brother too but he is hesitating to completely get inside and just watch from the door. I can still hear S

KAYLEENI’m once again all alone, walking the streets. I’m lost, I know that but I don’t care. “Are you satisfied? Escaping like this?” Shaira asked suddenly popping at my side. “I will find someone to help—“ I stopped walking realizing that Zeke could help me but I ran away from him. I’m such an idiot. Walking back to where I left, Shaira grabbed my arm. “What do you think you are doing?” she harassingly asked gripping tightly as possible. My eyes ran from her eyes to her hands. On the next blink, it’s just me holding myself. I continued walking while she is murmuring inside my head. It’s annoying but I’m trying to endure the pain that it’s giving me. A building of a private hospital took my attention. I stopped right there listening to my heartbeat. I stayed right there at the other side staring at the hospital until it gets dark and I’m starving again. Only few people are

KAYLEENI woke up with some knock. My heart beats faster again making me awake. I stood as fast as I could be heading to the door. Maybe it’s the guy from last night. Maybe he came back to check if he is right about what he thinks. I can’t hear a voice but I’m nervous.“It’s me,” Zeke’s voice calmed me a bit but before I unlock the last one, a thought suddenly barged inside my head.What if he is with cops? I stepped back and opened the only window I have in the room. It’s quite small but I can pass through it with my petite body. I also checked the outside, it’s not that deep to jump.“Hey. What’s taking you so long?” He used a very low voice that only us can hear. I opened the door a bit to peak on him. He is alone as I see it. I swung it a bit wider but not exposing myself. He came in fast too.“Did anyone saw you come here?” I asked.“I think no but I found another place for you

SHAIRAThat b*tch, she tied herself up to avoid me from my plans. Both my hands and feet are tightly tied to the bed and it’s difficult to move. I screamed in anger releasing all air I have inside my lungs. Well, this body is mine too. She can’t just stop me from what I want.It’s dark already as I see from the window. My wrist felt swollen now after moving so much. I gave up and calm myself a bit. I am awakened again, since she needs help. She has to get rid of Garry. How pitiful. She really thinks, she can get rid of me easily.We are one. I am her deep thoughts. She can’t get rid of me that easy. I suck some air before moving again. It hurts me too but I don’t really care. I have to escape from this tie. Pulling my right hand off successfully made me laugh. The doctor didn’t tie it that tight that I’m still able to take my hand from it. I used that free hand to untie my left hand and then my feet.
