Chapter 29

Celestina's POV

I better off leave her before things get worst. I am currently walking to get to my room. And I want to get there as fast as I could. And it is driving me crazy because there is a big part of that is wanting to go back to Mirah just so I could scold her more. And I really do not know already what is happening to me. I know and I am sure that there is something wrong.

I twist the doorknob then run towards the bathroom and face my reflection in the mirror. I turn the sink on and wash my face so that I could be awake from all of this. Feels like I am under someone's spell and I need to wake up from this reality.

And my eyes widen when I saw my very own eyes are now in color yellow and I could not remember that I put a contact lens today. I could not help but step a back from my own reflection and the only thing I am feeling right now is fear. Why am I experiencing this in my body? Is this some kind of a disorder? Should I see a doctor? But what if this is not a normal thing and they would make me a subject in an experimentation?

I tug on my hair because of frustration in everything with the hope of waking up already. But instead of waking up, I stop tugging on my hair when I saw another weird thing happening in me. Stammering, I look at my hands and arms when I notice that there are a lot of veins being visible. This makes me shiver because these are not just an ordinary veins. It is black veins like from those suspense and monster movies when a character is transforming into a monster.

But I hope that this is not like that scene. I am thinking that maybe I just had a disorder, that this is just because of the heart failure that I have experienced when I was young. But I know to myself that I already survived that part of my life and it is impossible for it to happen again because mommy told me that I will never suffer from a heart failure again. And I trust her words. Those words are the last words came out from her mouth before she died.

My body shakes even more because of this unexplainable thing that is happening in my body. This is not normal. And yes, I should see a doctor. This probably a disorder that is need to be treated.

I touch my face to help myself calm down even though the truth is I already panic. And I feel like I want to break the mirror in front of me when I saw my face's reflection is shifting from another face. This is so unbelievable. What the hell is happening? I slap my face several times just to wake myself up from this horrible nightmare. This would be the worst nightmare that could ever happen into my life.

"No!" I scream in front of the mirror when my face was now completely taken over by someone's face and I cannot do anything but to stare at it. This face that replaced mine is just so freakin' beautiful. But even though how beautiful this face is, I would still be prepare to use my own face because it is not that bad.

"How are you?" The girl ask me in front of the mirror. She is smirking and that smirk is making me shiver. I do not know what is happening to now and thing only thing that is sure right now was the fear I am feeling inside me. I slap myself even more but I could not wake up. And I guess that this is really happening.

"Who are you?" I asked the girl in the mirror but I did not get any response from her. The smirk in her face is still there and I have no idea on how much more she is would stay there.

"Celestina, right?" she asks me and it feels so weird that I am now in front of the mirror but I can see a different reflection.

"Who are you?"I scream and she laughs. She is obviously enjoying my reaction but me? It feels like I want to pass out already and I could not take this anymore.

"I am the one who will take over your body. So do yourself a favor, enjoy the rest of the days that you could still have control in your body because sooner or later, your body will be mine," my reflection told me and it is really making me shake even more.

"You can never do that," I answer her but I can taste my own fear through my voice. Her smirk grows bigger and I know that it is because she can sense it too. But what can I do if I am really this afraid? Hell, who would not shake if you cannot see you own face in the reflection of the mirror where you are actually facing it? I am still lucky that I am able to manage to stand still even though my knees are shaking even more.

"Watch me do that, then," there is a threat in her voice and I feel like she can actually do it. "I will give you more time to enjoy those remaining days that you can have control in your body. But when the right time has come, you will not have any choice but to give up." I know that her words will mark on my mind and it will never be at peace again. So I need to be more careful. I do not have any idea on how can she able to do that but this will bother me always. And I think that this is the reason why these past few days I feel like I got no control in my body. She is the reason.
