Wheezing. Consternation. Fidgety.

It happened a long time ago, in elementary school. There was a boy hidden in the corner of the restroom, putting his hand right onto his chest. Feeling his heartbeat rapidly as he sprinted through to the restroom a little while ago. Not knowing why he felt shudders right through his spine. Alone in a stall, thoughts of his started to grow.

As it though he felt an immense threat chasing him down. As though he felt that someone was following him. Or some... Thing. But no matter how many times he looked, no one was there. Confused about this feeling. Why now? Why do I feel this way? What is happening to me? The more he asked these questions, the more worsen it becomes.

"Darren, are you in there?"

A sudden voice broke through Darren's apprehension. It was his teacher, Ms. Mary. "You have left without giving you a hall pass. Is everything alright in there?

"I-I'm f-fine... j-just had a very bad stomached." he vacillated, trying to conceal his uneasy feelings.

"If you feeling sick, then go to the nursery so you can go home early. Please notified me after you have a note."

"O-okay, Ms. Mary."

"I was worried that something happens to you when you rushed here. Just remember to come back so I can give you today's lesson from what you have missed." And with that, the teacher walked away as he heard her footsteps slowly fade away.

Solely once more, Darren steadies his breathing to control his emotions. He shouldn't be staying there for too long. Maybe he should go to the nursery as Ms. Mary recommended. He stand up and opens the stall, he looked around once more for security measures. He thought that maybe he just got stressed out over a bad grade on his assignment today.

Darren headed to the door. He was putting his hand to the handle. He tried to open it... but something... off. The door won't open. He tried to put force and it still wouldn't budge. Darren's anxiety arose quickly as he started to hammer the door. For he realized that there's no way that it has a lock.

"Is anyone there?!" he shouted. But there's no reply.

"IS ANYONE THERE?! THIS ISN'T FUNNY LET ME OUT!!" he yelled once more.

"... I'm. Here."

A sudden voice came out of nowhere. Alerted, Darren anticipate to search. "w-who are you?! Show yourself!"

"Look. In. the. Mirror." A baleful voice spoke once more.

Darren shook off hearing that voice. Like the sound of the vile being. Sweated in dread, he do as he was told and looked at the mirror. There was no one else aside from Darren's reflections.

Feeling discomfort, he thought that maybe someone was pulling a prank. When he tries to move... he somehow can't. His body was stiff. He cannot even move his arms and legs. He cannot even move his head and even his eyes can't close or looked another way. He tried to yell once more but, can't even open his mouth. Like his entire body was completely frozen. The only was able to move is his breathing. And his eye was been fixated to look only on the reflections of himself. Darren panicked, not knowing how is this possible. He can't even look away from his reflections... but something has changed. To his reflections, it started to move by itself. Darren's reflections started to grin.

"Well, well. Looks like you got yourself pinned in this bad situation, huh? Then allow me to fill you in." the being of the reflections started to speak. Darren is been frozen in fear, emotionally.

"If you try to tell anyone about what you saw right now, I'll make sure that your life would come to an end. Quickly before you even blink your eyes."

The being started to move off his right arm while Darren's immobile body mirrored its movements. It reached his hand around Darren's face as been controlled. Touching his right side of the skin.

"So you better behave yourself if you don't want to end up losing one of your eyes before it happens."

The being forcedly scratched Darren's face, slowly scraping the surface of his skin. Darren is hyperventilating and groaning in pain. How this thing can control his body?

"So I'll see you later!"

The being who has been controlling Darren suddenly vanishes from his reflections. And he was able to move once again. He suddenly fell trying to breathe and rushed out of the bathroom door once more. The door was open and rushed through the school door, trying to escape from that monster.
