Whit watched her leave and was conscious that Amber was watching him watch Mia. She made him feel like a bait fish in a pike pond.

Mia looked in the mirror as she was washing her hands after taking care of the stain. She looked tired, but the bruise on her forehead was fading. Amber walked into the restroom and nodded at Mia as she headed for a cubicle.

There was something unfocused about Amber. She didn’t have her usual sweet beauty-queen looks. Mia couldn’t pinpoint it, but it looked as if she wore a transparent overlay of hardship. Mia moved over to the dryer and hit it with her elbow and gently rubbed her hands under the warm air.

Mia heard a flush, and Amber exited the cubical. The dryer cut out, and Mia wiped the remaining moisture on her jeans.

“Those things never work,” Amber commented. “I miss the towels, but we must be green.”

“I guess so but...” Mia stopped in midsentence. There were definitely two images just out of sync standing in front of her.

“Amber, are you alright?” she asked as she scrutinized the young woman.

“I’m a bit off, but I may have gotten a chill earlier. And of course there’s what happened at the farm and...”

The thing that was piggy-backing Amber had reached out its hands and was moving towards her. To Mia, the multi-armed woman looked like Kali. She backed away from Amber. Amber looked at her oddly and continued to head for the dryer.

The woman within Amber moved with such speed that it jolted Amber along like a puppet. Soon there was no more Amber, only this thing intent on hurting Mia. She wrapped her hands around Mia’s throat and squeezed.

Mia twisted and jerked her body, sending both of them crashing into the open stall, both women narrowly missing cracking their skulls on the toilet. Mia scrambled under the stall and was almost on her feet when Amber threw herself on her.

With every touch of the entity, its memories flooded into Mia’s mind. Beauty mixed with horror punched at her psyche. She fought it off, but Amber had thirty pounds on her, and soon the hands were once again on Mia’s throat squeezing the life out of her.

The door to the bathroom opened, and the entity stopped as Beth walked in.

Mia used this time to cry out to a stunned Beth, “Not Amber, not Amber!” before the hands once again squeezed.

Beth screamed into the sub shop for help before she launched herself at Amber, knocking the woman off Mia.

Amber for a brief moment seemed to wonder, “What the hell is going on?” before she scrambled back to a still Mia and started to bang her head on the floor. Beth grabbed her and pulled, but Amber held on tight.

Mike was the first to the scene and with Beth’s help managed to pull a kicking and screaming wild woman off of Mia.

Whit scooped Mia up and ran out of the room. He laid her on the floor and proceeded to breathe life into her.
