         <description><![CDATA[<div>I woke up to hear knocking on the glass. At first, I thought it was from the window. But when I hear it again in the other direction. Then I turn to I realized it was coming from the mirror. The knock just keep getting louder and louder every time. Then I walk to the mirror to see what it is. I then was standing in front of the mirror, all I see is my reflection. When I was about to walk away and go to the living room, there was a bang on the mirror. I then see a hand there where my reflection is, and slowly a little girl starts appearing. She was crying and trying to tell me something but I couldn’t hear her. While she was trying to talk to me there was someone or something behind her and grabbed her by the shoulders. As soon as that person or thing touch her the lights went out one by one. </div><div>Not long the room was pitch black, and I hear something knocking over items the room. I turn around quickly to get out. As I was finding my way out it seem that room was increasing in size. Going as fast I could through the darkness without falling over. About 15 to 20 minutes of walking I start to feel something wet on the floor as if someone dropped a drink. Not long I almost walked straight into the door. Luckily I had my hands in front of me just in case I fall. I try opening the door, it was locked. I yell, “Ivory! The door is lock can you please come open it for me! I can’t get out!” There was no response back, so I waited in the darkness. About half hour maybe longer I hear someone walking to the door. I yell, “Ivory is that you! What took you so long! Hurry up and open the door!” The footsteps stop at the door, but no one responded to me. At last the door was unlocked and swung open. It wasn’t Ivory but the little girl that I seen in the mirror earlier. </div><div>The girl looks at me and with a voice of frightened she says, “One in the dark got me… and the one who  you care about the most for… Now it’s after you.” I then tell the girl in a concerned voice “What do you mean by that, and who is the one in the dark?” The girl did nothing but looks down to the ground and then point to it. I look to see what she sees. Not knowing what to say I cover my mouth to see what is was that I’ve been standing in. I then ask while stuttering, “Is … that ... blood?” The little without looking back up she nods her head. I ask another question my voice still shaking afraid of the answer to come, “Who's ... blood ... is…. it? </div><div>The girl then looks up and say with a voice that you can barely hear, follow the blood and it will lead you to the person that it belongs to. Yet be careful because the one in the dark and still be with the person that blood belongs to.” </div><div><br></div>]]></description>
