I opened my eyes, groaning at the lack of comfort in the position that I was in. I rubbed them irritably and glanced around, it was pitch black, and so I felt around my surroundings. My fingertips were numb, as though all the nerves had been ripped out of them. I heard soft laughter at my feet and there was a click as a lighter was ignited. The Nightmare Woman was curled up at my feet.1
“We meet again,” she mused, “miss me?”2
I glanced around and saw why we were both so cramped, I was in a coffin. I tried to sit up but banged my head on the door and laid back down. Lying underneath and beside me was a corpse and my breath caught in my throat. This wasn’t right. I couldn’t stay in here I would die. “Let me out.” I barked at her, my voice came out callous and hard. 3
“Now, now, no need to take that tone with me. If you say the wrong thing I could just-“ she waved the flame along the lace that lined the inside of the coffin. “Make you disappear.” 4
“No! Just let me go!” I shouted, banging my fist against the walls of the casket. 5
“You know what you have to do.”6
“ENOUGH WITH THAT! I’M NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR YOU ANYMORE!” I bellowed, “I don’t know what I have to do!” Tears rolled down my face in spite of my stab at courage. Fear coursed through my veins and I wasn’t sure I would be able to take anymore of this torture she was putting me through. 7
Her lips curled into a smirk, “I rather like this side of you, Kami. It’s fun.” I groaned as her cold laughter captured my ears. “You know, you should be like this more often…variety is the spice of life you know. Stop acting like a scared little kid and get out there! Stop trying to be the mom!” She paused for a moment, “although, if you were to act like this toward anyone else, I’m afraid I wouldn’t feel quite as special anymore.” 8
I gave her a questioning look.9
“Yes, you make me feel special if you want me to get all sappy and pathetic. You know, everything you’ve done for me…”10
“I haven’t done ANYTHING for you!” I raged, keeping a close eye on the lighter in her hand.11
“Oh, but you have. You’ve lied to people for me…you tell everyone that you’re okay when you know that I’m around, you’ve killed for me, just because you’re asleep doesn’t mean that it doesn’t matter. It’s a working progress.” She told me. 12
I groaned again, the groan turned into a whimper and the whimper turned into great sobs that beat the inside of my chest and jumped back and forth inside my head and throat. The Nightmare Woman had moved up, now lying on the corpse and began stroking my hair. “Why do you hate me so? I’m only trying to bring out that special side of you. You know, the one that I love so much.”13
I glowered at her, “No.” I muttered.14
She shrugged, “fine then. If you want to get edgy about it then…I’ll leave you in here to think about it.” She tossed the lighter to the end of the coffin where I couldn’t get to it and rose out through the roof. The lining of the casket caught ablaze and I screamed and began pounding against the walls again, trying to find a way out. I pushed on the top of it but it was locked. The flame was spreading quickly and was touching the foot of the dead body underneath me. I kicked at it as though my feet batting at it would put it out. The fire spread quickly and I let myself sink into a haze of smoke and charred lace. 15
Now I’m awake again, my eyes darting all over the place in search of a woman I know is lounging around in the shadows of the night. She’s in every crevice of the wall, every corner of every room, somewhere in all the static…and worse of all…in me. 16

maybe if you suggest killing someone, shell think you've turned and leave you be. Kill me. I won't mind. What shes says to you:
“Oh, but you have. You’ve lied to people for me…you tell everyone that you’re okay when you know that I’m around, you’ve killed for me, just because you’re asleep doesn’t mean that it doesn’t matter. It’s a working progress.” She told me. "
That's what my mind says to me every day. Except it says "you hurt them, you're worthless." ect. saying im a bad evil person for doing it because im doing it in real life and i'm nto caring.
Good luck sweetie. Don't forget ylang ylang oil and rosemary under your pillow can help.
