Chapter Three:
Darkness Within:
Danielle has a
secret.
Nobody believed
her when she brought it up. The police thought it was part her imagination.
That’s way they put her here. But she knew that she wasn’t going crazy. She had
seen him with her own eyes.
She had known
him for a year and a half now.
He comes out
when he hears her agony. People die when he comes out. She doesn’t know how to
control him. Because of this, she ended up here. He scares her now, but she
can’t get away. The last time she tried to get away, he about killed her. Hence
why she ended up in this room. Danielle couldn’t sleep with any sheets or
pillows.
The last woman
who tried to help her ended up dead. Those people just sent her another lady.
How long before she would end up dead like the last one? Danielle did her best
to keep to herself and keep her nose down.
She could still
feel him around. He’s listening right now, in fact. Earlier, he rumbled below
her feet. Danielle prayed that he would go away. But how could she get rid of
someone that has been with her since she was born? Even trying to die wouldn’t
work. He wanted more blood. The more he kills, the stronger he becomes.
Danielle shut
her eyes and began to wish him away again. She knew that wouldn’t work, but she
still did it because she didn’t know what else to do. Her lips moved as if to
try and make her prayers be heard to him. Not that he would listen anyway. The
patient didn’t expect today to be any different. If she was lucky, Dr. Carta
could walk away unharmed.
She opened her
eyes when she heard a clicking noise.

Dr. Carta
reached over to her tape recorder. "Do you mind if I turn this on?" The patient
kept her eyes to the table as she muttered something inaudible.
"Just to let you
know," Dr. Carta said. "If I do something to upset you, just let me know, okay?"
Danielle didn't say anything. The psychiatrist pressed her lips together.
"Alright," she said. She reached over and hit record on her tape recorder. Dr. Carta decided to go back to when the murders began.
