       It worked. The voice grew quiet within 20 minutes of me taking the medicine. I grew elated at the silence. Everyone notice how up beat I was. Probably because I was skipping and grinning.
       "What's up with you?" Caitlin asked, suspicious as ever. I beamed at her.
       "I got my meds!" I told her gladly. And everyone was happy.

       My happiness, as usual, didn't last. I walked into my room and heard it lock from the outside behind me. I turned around and screamed. I was supposed to take a pill in the morning, at lunch, and before I went to bed. So, as you can see, they wear off fast. I could also take one if the schizo acted up. This was one of those times. There she was. Directly across from me was a full-length mirror. My whole room was covered with mirrors. And I avoided mirrors like the Black Plague. There was Kurotora, right there in the mirror, staring at me.

      Her eyes are what make me afraid of her. She stared back at me with the whites of her eyes as black as pitch. While my irises were a clear blue, her's were electric orange. Her teeth were filed to a point and her skin was stark white. I also was white, but she was a shade paler. My hair was a dark brown-orange and hung in an diagonal, the end touching my jaw. Her's was deep red and curved all the way to her waist. Her lips curved into a smile at the sight of me. I widened my eyes in horror and stared at her. My mouth fell open in a cry of shock.
       "No! You can't be here! I-I have medicine to make you go away! Go away!" I started out quiet and raised in volume until I was screaming. Her mouth just smiled even more until she was grinning.
    "Oh, I can, and I am. I'm here to stay," she said to me, acid rolling off her tongue.

       Here I was, trapped with my inner evil, with no meds and a locked door. Oh, what fun.
