The Knocking On The Mirror
Get Me Out!!!
Later that night, Joanna laid on her bed, with the lights on
She was too afraid to fall asleep
Joanna
I wonder if April is awake
She turned and grabbed her phone and texted April
after a few minutes, her phone rang. she answered it.
April (bff)
Don't you wanna sleep?
Joanna
my mind has the scary ability of being dark and demented.
April (bff)
you're afraid of your dreams?
April (bff)
Is it because of your sister?
April (bff)
I told you that it's nothing
Joanna
It is something actually
Then she switched to face call
she grabbed the picture of her sister and showed it to April
April (bff)
Is that your sister?
Joanna
This is exactly the person I saw in that dream
Joanna
The difference is that her eyes were...white
Joanna
And her face and body were covered in blood
Joanna
I've never been this sure in my life
Joanna
Listen, I don't believe in supernatural things, but that dream was way too real!
Joanna
I think... I think that my sister has been murdered
April (bff)
You're saying that she's been murdered, and now, after 16 years, she's back to asks for your help? To do what, 'get her out'?
April (bff)
Listen, I don't thin-
Joanna
Th-The... There's.... There's someone....
April (bff)
What!? What happened!? JOANNA!!
On the other side of her room, in the mirror, her sister's ghost has been watching her all this time
Standing still, head tilted, her dark hair covering half of her face
suddenly she reached out with her hand towards Joanna, which made her scream again.
Her sister stood still, with her hand reached out.
She tilted her head again.
Joanna pressed herself against the wall as hard as she could
Suddenly, the ghost's eyes widened, and it charged towards Joanna with incredible speed that her eyes couldn't follow
the next thing she knew was that she was now face to face with the ghost
The ghost wrapped her fingers around Joanna's neck and squeezed until her eyes rolled back
The Ghost of her sister, Duana, shouted
As Joanna was about to lose consciousness, the door of her room opened.
Doris (mom)
WHAT HAPPENED!?
Eric (dad)
WHAT IN THE WORLD!?
Both her parents rushed inside her room
Joanna put her hands on her neck, gasping for air.
Doris (mom)
What happened!? Joanna!?
April's voice was shaking
April (bff)
S-Someone was in her room...
Doris (mom)
Did you see their face!?
Joanna
I didn't see their face...
Joanna
They were wearing a mask- *Cough*
Eric (dad)
I'm going after them! They might still be near!
Doris (mom)
It's dangerous! I'll call the police!
Eric (dad)
I'll go search!
She noticed the red marks on her neck
Doris (mom)
Oh, God!!! They tried to strangle you!
Doris felt like she was about to faint
Joanna grabbed her mom before she could fall
Doris (mom)
You're the one I should be asking this question from...
Doris (mom)
Oh my baby...ahhh
Doris wrapped her arms around Joanna, crying helplessly.
Joanna looked over at her phone and saw April's pale face
Joanna shook her head at April
April was too terrified to talk
She saw the ghost that Joanna was talking about...it was crazy, but she saw it with her own two eyes
After 10 minutes, Eric returned.
Eric (dad)
There was no one
Eric (dad)
I searched everywhere
Doris (mom)
We should have called the police!
Doris (mom)
Some bastard tried to kill your daughter, and you don't even want to call the police!?
Eric (dad)
Listen honey, I just don't trust the police...
Eric (dad)
Cause even after 16 years, they haven't been able to find Duana!
Doris felt like crying again
Eric walked up to Doris and wrapped his arms around her
Eric (dad)
It's gonna be okay... I'm here...
He then looked over at Joanna and smiled warmly, and gestured for her to join the hug
After their family hug, Eric checked Joanna for any injuries
Eric (dad)
Just the mark around your neck...
Eric (dad)
I'm afraid it's gonna leave bruises...
Eric (dad)
I think you should stay home tomorrow
Both Joanna and April said at the same time
They were both thinking about the same thing
Eric (dad)
Why not? It's dangerous to go out
April (bff)
Trust me uncle, It's safer for her to go to school
April (bff)
Just... Just trust me
Eric (dad)
Right, you saw the intruder too.
Eric (dad)
Don't you remember anything specific about them?
Joanna
Anyway dad, I'll go to school tomorrow.
Joanna
Yes. It's safer. Don't ask why, just trust me. I feel like they won't come after me when I'm outside.
Joanna
It's not like they can attack me in public
April (bff)
I think it's better if she stays over at my place...
April (bff)
Just to be safe
April (bff)
If the Intruder wanted to come back, he can't find Joanna in her room.
April (bff)
They wouldn't expect her to be at my place
Doris (mom)
She's right, Eric!
Eric (dad)
Isn't it troublesome for you?
Eric (dad)
There's still a chance that they would come to your home
April (bff)
No, I'm sure they won't. It's safe here for the both of us.
Eric (dad)
Alright then. If you say so.
April (bff)
Thanks, uncle!
April (bff)
Actually, she should come right now
April (bff)
* there's still a chance that the ghost would haunt her in her dreams...*
Joanna immediately understood what April was thinking
April (bff)
Because... Because the Intruder has just left, he'll definitely be back tomorrow to stalk her. So, if she moves out now, he wouldn't know where to look for her!
Eric (dad)
That makes senses...
Eric (dad)
Alright. I'll drive Joanna over.
Eric (dad)
Are your parents OK with this?
April (bff)
Yes, they're cool. Don't worry.
Doris (mom)
Thank you so much darling
April (bff)
It's nothing auntie
April (bff)
that's what friends are for
Doris (mom)
Joanna is really lucky to have a friend like you
Both Joanna and April smiled
Both girls hugged each other tightly
April (bff)
I'm so glad that you're okay
April (bff)
I'm sorry that I didn't believe you.
Joanna
If I were you I wouldn't believe me either.
April (bff)
you're still in the mood to crack jokes after that?
