The last message (Part 3)
<p>Teni didn’t scream.</p><p>She couldn’t.</p><p>Her voice felt… gone.</p><p>Like something had taken it.</p><p>Slowly, she turned her head.</p><p>Nothing behind her.</p><p>But the whisper was still there… breathing softly against her neck.</p><p>Her phone buzzed again.</p><p>She looked down.</p><p>“You’re already too late.”</p><p>Her hands started shaking uncontrollably.</p><p>“What do you want from me…” she whispered.</p><p>For the first time—</p><p>The reply didn’t come as a message.</p><p>It came from the mirror.</p><p>“You.”</p><p>The reflection stepped forward.</p><p>Not moving like a normal reflection… but like a person walking inside glass.</p><p>Teni backed away, hitting the wall.</p><p>“No… no… no…”</p><p>The reflection raised its hand again—</p><p>And this time…</p><p>It came through.</p><p>Not fully.</p><p>Just the fingers.</p><p>Long… darker… twisted versions of hers.</p><p>They slid out of the mirror like smoke turning solid.</p><p>Teni tried to run—</p><p>But her legs refused.</p><p>Her phone dropped to the floor.</p><p>Cracked screen.</p><p>Still lighting up.</p><p>New message:</p><p>“Error: Identity conflict.”</p><p>Her vision blurred.</p><p>The room flickered.</p><p>Like a bad signal.</p><p>Like reality itself was glitching.</p><p>The reflection was now halfway out.</p><p>Smiling wider than any human should.</p><p>“One of us has to stay.”</p><p>Teni felt a sudden pull—</p><p>Not on her body.</p><p>On her mind.</p><p>Memories flashing.</p><p>Her childhood.</p><p>Her voice.</p><p>Her name.</p><p>Everything… being dragged.</p><p>Her phone buzzed one last time.</p><p>Screen barely visible now.</p><p>“Transfer complete.”</p><p>Morning came.</p><p>The room was quiet.</p><p>Teni sat calmly on her bed.</p><p>Phone in her hand.</p><p>No fear.</p><p>No confusion.</p><p>Just a slow… unnatural smile.</p><p>Her phone buzzed.</p><p>Unknown number.</p><p>She opened it.</p><p>“Don’t sleep tonight.”</p><p>She smiled wider.</p><p>And typed—</p><p>“I won’t.”</p>
