Chapter 7 by Altu5g Altu5g

How do you respond?

It was no dream...

You stare into space blankly. Something about this didn't seem right. The memories were so clear, too clear to just be a dream...

"No."

Jessica looks at you witha confused look from across the bed. "No?" She asks. "What do you mean?"

"It... it can't have been a dream. It feels so real. The neighbor, the pen..."

Jessica's face turns concerned. "Babe, what do you mean?"

"I... how did I get here?"

Your face turns towards your girlfriend as the realization dawns on you. In an instant her soft and caring expression shifts. She looks at you with cold, dead and terrifying eyes.

You jump off the bed and stick against the wall in fear. "It's you..."

Your girlfriend sits on her bed. Her evil looked looked unnatural on her face. "Oh David, you were so close." Her tone was cold and sharp. "If you just dismissed it, you could've gone back to your humble, quiet life with your girlfriend. But you had to be the smart guy, didn't you?"

You were in complete shock. In a total lack of words. Your own girlfriend has been replaced by the same creep who replaced your neighbor, and you didn't even notice the difference.

"W-Who are you?" You ask the imposter, swallowing your spit. "What do you want from me?"

"Oh David, I don't want anything from you." She replies with a sick smile, completely ignoring your first question. "I just wanted to live a quiet life as your beautiful neighbor. You were the one who interfered, and I couldn't have you ruining that chance for me."

You gulp again. It hurt you to see Jessica like this. Controlled by this... freak.

"I'll let you have that." You reply in fear. "You can live as my neighbor. I wouldn't tell anyone. Just leave Jessica alone."

"Oh David, but we both know that isn't true, is it?" She asks, sucking on her finger, making you cringe. "I've spent some time in your head, just like I did with Jessica now. How do you think you got to her house?" She chuckles deviously, slowly getting off her bed, making you stumble back to keep your distance. "And I know as well as you that you couldn't live with that knowledge. You would try to find a way to take me down, and we can't allow that, now can we?" She smiles that chilly smile again, making you shiver. "I'm sorry it had to come to this..."

As she started reaching into her drawer, you quickly realized what's going on. She was reaching for that pen. She was going to zap you with it again, and God knows what this psycho's follow up plans were. You had to act fast. Next to you was a pile of dirty clothes, and as quickly as you can, you throw them at the man imposing your girlfriend. And while he is distracted, you quickly rush outside her room, and out of her house. You were not wearing a shirt, but you didn't care. You needed out of that madhouse, now.

In seconds you found yourself outside, panting. But as you ran out, you realized he wasn't chasing you. Terrified, you look up to Jessica's bedroom window, and there she was standing, pen in hand, and an evil smile on her face. You looked at her in horror for a second, and ran off.

Where do you escape?
