The Girl in the Mirror

You never really know who you are

There's a girl in the mirror, but I don't know who she is. She's always looking back at me but I don't know what I did to bring her here. She has no face or features, just a shadow of a girl with long hair, pants and a shirt. She watches everything I do and sometimes she doesn't stay in the mirror.

`

She follows me wherever I go and stares at me no matter what I do. I've tried running away but no matter how fast I run she is always right beside me. It's starting to worry me. What did I ever do to bring her here? Out of all people why is she stuck with me? What brought her to me? Was she once a real girl who got caught up in the wrong world? These questions run through my head day and night.

My friends tell me I'm crazy when I talk to them about her. I tell them her description and what she does but they say it's all a dream and to blow it off, but it has been getting closer to me. When I wake up in the middle of the night she is standing in the doorway. Each night she walks closer and closer until she is standing on the ladder of my bed. It's gotten to a point where it's no longer creepy, just haunting.

She's recently just started appearing with white lines on her arm that glow against her black silhouette. Each day she has one more as the days go on the marks start to crawl up her arms and throughout the rest of her body. The marks are starting to worry me because they are always in the same place my marks are. Each day the black silhouette grows lighter and lighter. First her eyes, then her nose and mouth as her features slowly appear. The truth is devastating. Turns out the girl in the mirror is really me.....

I'm shocked, confused, an explosion in my mind! Woah! That was so epic how got that bomb at the end! "The girl in the mirror is really me.." -Wowzers! applause, I want to read more. The beginning sounds like it could be a poem. But I really like what you did here, the suspense and curiosity, you were able to hook the reader. :)
