have you ever seen something in the corner of yoyur eye that asnt there? ever looked in a mirror and seen someone completey different staring back at you through the glass? i have.the sky is darker than usual and theres screaming.they havent come to my house yet but i know they wont be long.but now i must remamber everything,for if anyone survives this than theylle neeed to know what happened.

i didnt notice it until this morning.i suppose they've always been there but humanity chose to ignore them.i was getting ready for school when a hand reached out of the mirror.i had jumped back,screaming.my whole family ran up to my room.slowly a figure emerged from the mirror and turned to face us.it was me.me with wierd red eyes.she stared at me before walking out of the door.i ran downstaurs and looked out of the window.creatures were coming out of every house.they stood in a cirle on the street and stared up at the sky.the ground shook.my little sister scramed and grabbed hold of my leg.i picked her up and buried her face in my hair.there was a rumbling sound and all the creatures ran off.we went back inside and sat down,unsure of what to do.michael put the television on.
"wierd alien creatures stand on the streets around the world.this is the invasion that pwoplw have foretold.theyve come to take over our planet."

they weren't aliens,they were us and this wasnt an invasion.this was a victory.our doubles had been hiding,planning,taking over peace by peace.the shadows,the darkness.but now there strong enough they were going to kill us all.i didnt say any of this outloud although i could see by my mum and michaels faces that they already understood what was going on.

"our reports have been confirmed.everyone in southampton,england has been killed."
"daddys not there is he?"lily asked.i shook my head even know what i was telling my sister was a lie.our father had been working at southampton docks.father was due home next week.i had been so excited as he had been gone for months.the wind picked up outside and the windows smashed inwards.i pushed lily behind me and the shards of glass pierced my skin.it became very dark and my mum and brother went outside to see what was happening.
i never should have let them go.i can still hear my brothers screams.i wanted to go out and help them but i couldnt leave lily.i picked her up and carried her to her room.she climbed into bed.she hadnt heard michael or mum screaming ouside.
"wheres mummy?"
"shes gone to take michael to his friends house.Im in charge while shes gone so time so time for you to sleep.!
"but vicky im not tired!"
"please lily,for me,"lily had sleeped for 3 hours.The wholse time i laid beside her unable to move.more screams could be heard outside.Then i heard my neighbours cries and i woke lily up.we hid under the bed whild downstairs our door was being smashed.

They've almost gotten through now and i clutched lily closer to me,pulling her into my chest.
"They're going to kill us arent they."She whispered.I couldnt lie to her anymore i so i nodded.She didn't cry just put her hand on my cheek.
"I love you."I whispered.
Iv'e finally worked it out.These creatures are not monsters or aliens.they are our true selves.They're coming now.i can hear them breathing.I was wrong,nobody can survive them,survive the human race.
