The Difference Between You and I

Chapter 8

I was in a white room with no windows or doors. I was trapped in side this white room. I didn't know how I got here or what I was doing here. It was still all a mystery to me. I felt like I was getting weaker by the minute.

"Turn around." A voice tells me

I obey the voices orders and turned around slowly. I was scared because I didn't know why I was here. I was fully turned around and came face to face with a girl who look just like me. My mind was confused

"Why do you look like me?" I asked the girl

She laughed "because I am you."

My heart was beating faster and I wanted to say something but I just kept my mouth shut.

She walked closer to me with an evil smirk on her face.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her again

"I'm here to help you end our suffering." She replied

"Our?"

"We are the same person after all." She shrug with the same smirk on her face

"How?"

Her smile got even bigger. In her hand was a knife. She held it up to me and handed it to me. I looked at like it was nothing. It was like I want it.

"With this of course." She pointed to the knife

I grabbed the knife from her and held it firmly in my hand.

"They don't appreciate us." She said harshly

I griped the knife

"They don't need us." She continued

I looked at her with cold harsh eyes

"No one cares about us." She cried

I had no regret, no guilt in me

"We are the ones that are suffering." She was angry

I started to raise the knife to my stomach

"We don't belong here." She said

A tear slide down my face

"We are nothing!" She screamed

I jabbed the knife right through me

I woke up with a scream. Sweat was pouring down my face. My heart was beating so fast. I was trembling with fear. My nightmares were getting worse and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I ran my fingers through my hair and tried to slow down my breathing. The nightmares have been going on for so long my parents don't bother to check up on me anymore. There's nothing they can do about it. I get up from my bed and go to my bathroom. I go to my sink and turn the water on splashing cold icy water on my face. I look up and see my self in the mirror. I look horrible. It wasn't me in the mirror. I felt like it wasn't me in the mirror. I sighed and go back into my room. I laid back in my bed and stared at the ceiling.

I'm always afraid to go back to sleep.
