Another request from my friend The Violet Rose!! Enjoy!:)
--

Brin? You okay?"

My door creaked open. It was Phantom Girl.

The secret side of me
I never let you see

"Yeah, just a bit jumpy.

"You sure?" she asked, a bit unconfidently..

I keep it caged, but I can't control it, so stay away from me, the beast
Is ugly, I feel the rage, and I just can't hold it

"I'm sure," I said, as the lie stuck in my throat..

"Okay then...I'll see you tomorrow."

As Phantom Girl left, I recalled the events of the night...

My head started hurting a couple of minutes ago. I really didn't feel well. It was as if something was starting to build up inside of me....

It's scratchin on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake, and I
can't control it

Rage? Fear? Anger?

Hidin' under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end!

I closed my eyes in desperation to keep the pain, rage, whatever it was, out from my head.

Now I wish I hadn't lied to Tinya.

I could feel it crawling all over me.

I feel it deep within
Just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster!

My eyes dilated and my feral growl escaped me. My dark desires took over my inner self.

I was transforming.

Not only in the body..but in the mind....

In my mind..

As I thrashed around in my bed and clawed the sheets..I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror..

I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster!

I am a monster..

I feel like a monster!

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key

"Brin?"

"Get..away..from.............ME!!!!

I was raging inside myself. I couldn't control it. Subsequently..I lunged at Phantom Girl.


I keep it caged, but I can't control it, 'cause if I let him out,
He'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end!

"BRIN!!!!!!! NO!!!"

It's hidin' in the dark
Its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul, it wants my heart

"Stop!! Brin!! I know you are in there! Fight it...FIGHT IT!!!"

She didn't turn phantom. I was desperate to stop myself from tearing at her...

I couldn't stop..

"NOOOOOOO!!!!"

No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!

"Are you okay in there? Brin? Hellooo?"

Timber Wolf shot up in bed, his eyes glazed, almost thankful to be awake.

"Phantom Girl..I thought...I .."

"Shh, it's okay...it was a dream....." she said, while embracing him comfortingly.

A dream....only a dream...
