Run Baby Run: Marked by CROWE~
Title: Beneath The Skin
Selene wakes up gasping for air, drenched in sweat. Her bedroom is freezing, the kind of cold that seeps into her bones.
???
"baby...you look tired."
Her heart slams against her ribs.
The voice is right next to her ear.
She jerks up, hands shaking---but the room is empty.
Selene Vale
Who are you? (ask with trembling voice)
Silence that's what she heard
Then she noticed, the bedsheets beside her are coldly imprinted, as if someone had just been lying next to her.
Selene stumbles into her bathroom, gripping the sink. Her own reflection looks...wrong.
The face starting back at her is pale, hollow--eyed, broken.
Then--she sees it. A swear of blood on her hands.
Flashes of that night flood back.
Damian's blood soaking her fingers.
His smile even as he died.
Damien Crowe
"You'll always be mine."
Her breath shatters. She sinks to the floor, sobbing into her hands.
Selene Vale
"Why won't you stay dead?!" (said choking in between her tears)
Selene Vale
Why won't you leave me alone?!! Just why (she slides down to the floor with tears)
Selene Vale
I hate him... (low voice)
The silence is heavy. Then--
???
"Because you don't want me too,
Don't lie to yourself darling you don't hate me."
The bathroom light explodes, plunging her into darkness.
Selene's phone buzzes suddenly. Making her stand up and to check her phone.
When see open it she gasped with fears.
It's a photo of her Sleeping in her bed.
Taken from inside her room.
The timestamp? 5 minutes ago.
Tears well up in her eyes. She stares at her bedroom door, stomach twisting.
Is someone in the house?
Her fingers hover over the call button--then, a new text appears.
???
"Check under your bed"
Selene Vale
No no no.... (started to shake her head with fear)
She backs away, pulse hammering. Then, with slow, shaky movements, she lowers herself to the floor---
The screen of her phone barely illuminates the darkness beneath the bed. But as her eyes adjust---
A face is starting back at her.
Not Damian's but something else, something worse.
making Selene scream and she crawl back while shivering.
