Leave me alone…

CHAPTER TWO: It Appears

It's come to this…no one believes what I say. Am I going insane? Is it just a hallucination or more than that?

Feliciano walked in his town, heading towards the direction of a church. He needed to know what was going on, if this was just a sickness or if something was truly wrong. If he could do this alone as a priest, he could find his answers.

The church was huge and hollow. It was closed, but he had the key to it, so he could enter whenever needed, and it was now. This is what he needed more than ever. It seemed eerie that no one was there besides him, but no one else could know what was going on. It must stay a secret until he knew exactly what it was.

Candles surrounded the front of the church where the priest spoke, and Feliciano walked over to them, lighting them one by one. Then, he dropped to his knees in the middle of the altar and put his hands to his chest.

"Reveal yourself. I know you are there." He murmured, and there was an evil laugh among the church. Though there was sunlight in the church, everything went black besides the candles' glow. Feliciano frantically glanced around, trying to find the source of the dark laughter. It was here. Now.

"You've finally come! You've come! You've come!" The demonic laughter and chanting grew louder and louder, making Feliciano fall over. His head ached as the screaming became too hard to bear. It was tearing him apart piece by piece.

"Stop…STOP!" He cried out desperately, and the chanting ended, but a shadow remained. It slowly took form of a darker version of the Italian, and it cackled aloud, it's voice mimicking his.

"You're mine now."

Ludwig was beginning to grow worried. His friend was still gone, and it was past seven in the evening. Soon, he decided it was time to search on his own. Feliciano was probably in the church with the priest, so he would go there. That was his only option now. He couldn't just forget about his friend, especially after last night. Ludwig was still wondering what had happened the night before, then triggered him to break the mirror. What happened?

Feliciano lay on the ground of the church, unable to move. His mind was completely taken over by this unknown entity that had stole his identity. He was hoping no one would come and see him like this. The entity could use his body and lash out at anyone it wanted to. Please...just stay away…
