She opened her eyes. Blinked. Looked around. A shrill beeping sound was making her head ring. Groaning, she slammed her hand down onto the alarm clock beside her.
Without the beeping sound, the migraine didn't seem to go away. It probably became worse.
She knew what had happened. These migraines were no stranger to her.
Hands numb, her jaw felt painful. She scratched her head, pulling away immediately as bolts of lightning struck her skull.
The mirror on the wall opposite her bed showed her reflection and her eyes widened. Something was not right.
Her shirt was stained with red substances, hands coated with it too. Red was smeared all over her chin, flecks of it dried up on her cheek. She flinched and peered at it.
"Is that...blood?" She whispered to herself, her dazed eyes gone...
"Isabelle, time to go to school!" A voice hollered from downstairs. Isabelle looked up again at the mirror.
Suddenly, bolts of lightning struck her head again. Isabelle struggling against it, hitting her head but she lost.
Her blue eyes flashed into a shade of dark purple, and her mouth curled into a grin.
"So weak, Isabelle." She taunted, still staring at her reflection. She grinned, licking the blood of her hand. "That tastes...delicious, don't you think?" She asked herself, before cackling. She clawed at the air. "Soon, I'll be out again, Isabelle. Just wait."
Quickly, her eyes flashed back to blue and she exhaled.
"She's getting worse...she's getting crazier..." Isabelle murmured to herself, jumping off the bed and out of the room.
She dodged as her mother appeared, not wanting her to see the blood stains. "Isabelle?" She called out. "In the toilet, Mother!" Isabelle replied.
Frantically she tried washing away the stains. But it looked permanent as the stains had already dried up, not being able to remove.
Isabelle sighed. She changed into her uniform, ripping the blood-stained shirts to shreds before flushing them down the toilet.
"I hate you, Belle." She hissed, her blue eyes radiating hatred. Her right eye flashed purple for a few glitchy seconds, as if Belle was teasing her.
Isabelle slammed the toothpaste onto the mirror, hard enough that it cracked. The shattered pieces fell to the sink.
Isabelle looked at it, and back at her own hands. "Oh no...this is bad." Grabbing the shards, not even caring that her hand was starting to bleed, she raced towards the kitchen tossing the shards into the bin.
"Isabelle! Your hand is bleeding!" A shriek reminded her that her mother was still around. "I'm alright Mom. I just cut myself." Isabelle reasoned, trying to leave the house as quickly as she could.
Flinging her bag, she walked towards her bus. Then, she took the bus towards her school. (*I am SO SORRY for the BLAH BLAH BLAH! But this is necessary.*) Her friend, Paul, had reserved a seat for her.
She slipped into the seat. "Hi, Isabelle." Paul said. Isabelle didn't want to respond.
Was Belle now...killing? She thought, gripping her chair seat.
Paul looked at her, confused.
Suddenly, the lightning bolts struck thrice that day. Isabelle could hear the cackling in her mind, and gripped the seat tighter.
"Go away!!!" She hissed. Paul was getting more concerned.
"LEAVE!" Isabelle screamed. Everyone turned to look at her, murmuring, "Weirdo..." The voice in her head was getting stronger. The bolts were getting stronger. She was getting stronger.
"Isabelle!" Paul gaped at her, shaking her gently. "Is Belle taking over again?"
That touch managed to calm the bolts, but with one more push, Isabelle sank. Her eyelids drooped, but soon it snapped back open.
'Isabelle' cracked her neck. "Ah.. I never felt this relaxed." She sighed.
"Belle..." Paul glanced at her, gulping. 'Isabelle' turned to him. Her mismatched eyes glinted with mischief. "Hi...Paul."
"Belle..." Paul repeated, leering backwards.
Flashing a grin, 'Isabelle' beamed. "Oh, you know me. I heard about you from Isabelle. Nice to meet you."
Paul stared at her. Silence. Two minutes past. He was still silent. Finally, he broke it. "Please don't hurt me." He stammered.
"Oh? Isabelle told you about me? Hah, that girl..." She purred in Paul's ear. He cringed, ducking.
Belle's purple eyes glinted when the sunlight shown down on it.
The bus dinged, and the rest of the classmates flooded of the bus. Paul had no hesitation to be the first to run off, whispering. "There's a demon beside me!"
Belle laughed. What joy to be a human! She teased Isabelle. She could hear the slamming of fists against her skull, Isabelle throwing a tantrum.
She walked off the bus, humming. Spring in her step, she headed towards the school. No one noticed her eyes, how her head twitched slightly. No one cared.
Belle reached school. Paul was already in his class. She recognized the seat beside him as Isabelle's seat, and sat on it.
"Hi." She grinned at him. Paul breathed, turning away. Belle loved the way his veins pulsed. She licked her lips.
"You're going to be delicious." She smirked.
*Slight time SKIP!*
Belle walked out of the classroom, growling slightly under her breath. She had sat in a boring lesson for 3hrs straight, and boy, was she annoyed.
"Time for lunch." She sneered. She saw a girl by the canteen table, hanging out with a bunch of other females.
A few seconds later, they burst out in giggles. But as Belle stepped into the cafeteria, they stopped, staring at her like a caged animal.
Belle's purple eye flashed. "I wasn't going to target you, but too bad." She heard Isabelle shriek in her mind, but she whispered, "Relax. You hate them, anyway."
She walked towards them, waving. The girls scooted away from her. One, a blonde with a purple extension, glared at her.
"No one invited you to our table, Ms Color Eyes."
Belle smiled. The fangs threatened to sprout. "Hey, Ms Fake-Hair."
The blonde narrowed her eyes. "What did you just CALL ME?" She shrieks, the pitch of her voice rising. She lunged at Belle.
Belle giggled to herself. Blondie had just presented herself to her on a silver lil' plate.
"Die, you..." Before the blonde could even finish her curse, Belle grabbed her ponytail and slammed her onto the table.
"DAMN!" The whole school watched, some nearby backing away. "Jessy!" The brunette shrieked.
Jessy groaned, trying to stand, but Belle kicked her at the guts and Jessy fell limply the other way. Belle beamed, grabbing her by her hair again and dragging her off the table, where a trail of blood was left behind.
The brunette could only watch her friend as Belle grabbed her by the chin. "Oh Jessy...I don't know you. But I know Isabelle hates you. So don't remember me...hehe...remember her..." She snarled, hissing.
Jessy gave another whine with a slam to her head toward the marble floor. "You dead yet?" She murmured.
Belle let go of Jessy's hair. "Crawl away now, pet." She giggled as Jessy crashed to the floor.
"Bye bye now." Belle smiled.
Suddenly, Paul's voice ran out, "Oh my god, Belle, what have you done?!" The school whispered to each other, but loud enough for everybody else to hear: "Belle...? Isn't that Isabelle from fifth grade? Is that her twin?"
Belle snickered. "Nothing." Then, she fell to the floor.
"Belle! Don't you dare..." Belle raised her head, and Paul let out a "Oh no..."
Ocean blue innocent eyes stared back at the school. "I'm so sorry..." She whispered to herself.
"Isabelle..." Paul raced towards her. Before he could even reach her, the principal arrived.
"What's going on in here...Oh holy mother of god..." The principal gasped. Isabelle stood up. "I did it, Ms. Just take me away."
The principal regained her posture. "You juvenile! Come with me to the office! Johnny!" She said, looking at her assistant beside her. "Bring that poor girl to the hospital. Her skull must be cracked!"
As Isabelle was lead away, Paul gazed at her from afar. A voice in his mind whispered: "Lemme out!
He clenched his fists. "Go away, Patrick." He looked up and saw Isabelle's right eye flashed purple and his left twitched.
He knew this was not the last of Belle today. And if he was not careful, his own alter ego would come out too.
