Preface: Never Believe

Edited: November 24, 2012

Shudders of terror slithered down her back as she stared at herself in the mirror and could see a woman standing behind her, touching her shoulders with her hands as she leaned down and kissed the side of her face, which was slightly marred in the mirror but normal on the outside. She clutched her forearms with her hands and resisted the urge to glance behind her back because she didn't want to see if she was behind her. Whispers flowed around Leah's body, and she closed her eyes just like the woman wanted. She knew she shouldn't follow her orders, but she couldn't help but feel depressed and slightly disappointed if she didn't do her bidding. Leah didn't know why but she opened her eyes before the woman could say anything and screamed when she saw hands reaching out of the mirror, silently pleading with her to come.

"I won't come!" she yelled, staggering backwards.

"You have to, Leah, because you believe. You believe in me!" the woman screamed inside her ears. Leah peered at the mirror and stumbled backwards as the woman grabbed her hair and started to push her inside.

"I don't believe," she murmured under her breath, but it was no use because she did. Leah didn't dare look behind her shoulders because she knew the shadow that loomed behind her was real. The woman was real and she was coming to get her for believing. She shouldn't have believed in her!


Hello! Thanks for all the support, and please read my other stories on this website and on Wattpad. My account is DannyDeAngelus and my story is called The Untold Story of Titania Cosmos. I just updated it today. Also, there will be another version of this prompt because I want to make a scarier version and this isn't as scary as I hoped, so that's my next update unless there are any requests. If there are any requests, I would love to make one, so please ask away! Have a great day! :)
