Wearing a belt on pajama

From the reflection on her mirror, Cassie saw Ana entering her room. The other party arrived just as when she was in the middle of drying her hair so she continued what she was doing.

But then Ana approached her from behind with a lopsided grin pasted on her face. It was also then that Cassie noticed that the other party have both of her hands placed at her back as though she was deliberately hiding something from her.

Cassie knitted her brows together and asked her friend,

"What are you doing?"

Out of nowhere, Cassie heard the most outrageous question from Ana.

"Do you need a belt with those?"

Ana asked as the corner of her lips quirked up to the side. Also, her eyes never left Cassie's face as though she was trying to memorize every detail of her feature.

Meanwhile, Cassie could not help but let out a scoff when she heard Ana. She turned around to look straight at her face.

"Are you asking me if I would like to wear a belt with my pajamas on?"

"Yes."

Ana replied with an affirmative attitude and before Cassie could even stop herself, her eyes already went heavenward and she answered,

"Why would I want a belt with my PJ's? Don't be silly, Ana."

A smile broke from Cassie's lips as she looked back at her mirror to continue where she left off before Ana interrupted her with her silly question. But what she did not expect to happen next was when she looked back at her mirror, she saw on the reflection that the appearance of the one standing right behind her was no longer Ana's.

Instead, it was the same entity that has the face of a skull. The one that had been trying to harm her!

Before Cassie could even react, the other party already wrapped the belt around her neck with a clear intent to strangle her to death.

"See? You can wear a belt with pajamas."

Ana said although the voice that was coming out from her mouth no longer belong to her.

Her voice this time had a more gravelly quality on it. It sounded so hoarse that if one would only try to listen closely and judge where it was coming from, they would probably think that the one speaking came from somewhere beneath the ground or within a deep well.

Using that kind of raspy and croaky tone at the same time, they could easily be mistaken to be someone who was having a hard time to breath.

"Let me go!"

Cassie spouted those words in between her panting breath. The belt on her neck was successfully restricting her airways and she knew that if she would not be able to free herself from it, she would definitely breathe her last anytime soon.

'Ana' tried to drag Cassie away from the mirror but of course, Cassie would not go with her without a fight.

So with every ounce of strength that she could muster, Cassie tried to wriggle away from Ana's grasp. She also tried to attack the other party with everything she has got. She stomped on her feet; tossed her head backward, used her elbow to hurt her side, but none of them work. The most that her effort could do was to prod the other party. But it was not enough to distract Ana, let alone say loosen her grip.

At this point, Cassie was already starting to feel her lungs burning as a result of a lack of oxygen. But she still persevered to get away from her assailant. She was a fighter!

So making use of her own weight, Cassie threw herself on Ana. The other party obviously did not expect that, so she was caught off guard. They staggered backward, but Ana did not let go of Cassie right away.

However, because she cannot see where they were going, she started to stumble on her own feet, which made her lose her balance and for a split second, she lost her hold on Cassie.

Cassie, on the other hand, made use of this opportunity to escape. She tried to get a hold of anything that was on the table and she swung the first thing that her hand managed to grab straight to Ana. She was able to hit the other party squarely on the face and then ran as fast as her two feet could take her.
