Me and the Homunculus

Me and the Homunculus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am having a wonderful life,
I come from a family who are not always wealthy in money, but wealthy in helping people and working hard,
Being the youngest daughter of the family, I always have dreams of achieving a greater future. Good grades, best friends and wise mentors helped me reach my inner goals.
I don't mean to brag but I'm known all over town for being respectful and kind to everyone.
As I said, I'm having a wonderful life.
But all of the sudden, the story changes when darkness slowly terrorizes my hometown.

A dark shadow came to me one night. A shadow who looks exactly like me, but instead of my daily smile, she smirks evilly and her eyes reveal her sinister nature.
All of the sudden, I went blind in fear as she attempts to kill me with her fingertips that extended into thin blades.
The blades stabbed me in the right shoulder and she pushed me down to the longest hill where nobody would see me die in vain.

I woke up the following morning. I didn't die. I am surprised that I didn't die, but I am still weak from the wound on my shoulder.
Despite the sharp pain, I use my remaining strength to climb up that huge hill and attract the attention of a passing ambulance.
The doctors have reunited me with my family, but the family appeared to be shocked and surprised to see me in just a state.
I was told by my father that I was with them 3 hours ago, but I was left to die by by the attempted murderer last night.

And that's when the media released the story of my doppelganger who is about to steal my identity.

Shortly after the news was told by the people nationwide, I come across the other me.
I am no longer afraid of her, for I became brave enough to face her and ask her why is she trying to take away my life and why replacing me.

A homunculus, as she told what she really is, reveals her monstrous ways when her fingertips extended into thin blades and kills two men in front of me.

To defend myself, I grabbed a brick and hit her on the face. She covers her face when it is reveals that her face is made out of porcelain, hiding the black monster who she is.

After seeing the hidden monster, I run with my life and she chases after me, planning to end my life once and for all.

The town witnesses the event by the breaking news on television. Fearing for their lives, they evacuated the historic district of downtown, but I stayed to fight her.

I let her follow me towards the top of the clock tower, where she would face me alone and not harm the innocent lives she has deceived.

She screams at me angrily and attempts to kill me once again by trying to stab me again, but I grabbed a hold of her blades, blocking her greatest attack.

All of the sudden, the blade broke off, giving me the opportunity to use it as a weapon. I rushed in front of her and stabbed her in the middle of her chest.

I see black blood spilling from her and a small teardrop-shaped red gem popped out, breaking into pieces when it fell to the ground.

The homunculus slowly turns into dust, thus ending her monstrous life and a hellish nightmare is over.
