Evil Twin

 Evil Twin

I woke up groggily, groaning as I opened my phone, looking at the time, 4 AM. I open it, pulling up Discord into a groupchat to nothing, sighing I get up lazily opening my door to a shadow figure. I stepped back in surprise, staring at it, it began twisting, molding to a figure, I heard the sickening crunching and twisting of bone as it took a new form, me, but with obvious differences. My- Its eyes were bright blue, almost glowing in the dark, and its hair dark brown, it held itself with more confidence and pride. “Hello, I am your… Alter self.” was all he said, after a brief moment of silence, his voice soothing and cool. “What in the h- '' I was about to respond before I was interrupted “Now now. Watch yourself.” I grumbled under my breath in response as I watched him warily “What do you want? ‘Cause I’m sure I didn’t sell my soul.” I simply said a few moments passed and he responded. “You know why I’m here, Jayce. You need my help. Am I off?” “Ye-” I tried to say again. “Wrong. I’m you. You can’t lie to yourself…” I gave a sigh as a response, looking down in silence. “I can help you, just shake a man's hand and you will see your life change.” I watched his hand warily, slowly raising my hand, before I firmly grabbed his hand. Suddenly  he broke apart into shadow, I felt it embrace me, swallowing me in the darkness, the cold, unforgiving void. All I could hear was the muffled sounds of voices and an image of the world that I could just barely see. I heard his voice surround me. “Thanks for the body. I needed it.” and with that he left and i was forced to sit in this void, and listen to him unable to tell them that it wasn’t me. All I could do was cry.
