From the doorway, Emily watched Sarah casually closing the cover of her diary. A wave of bewilderment washed over her. Emily gripped the doorframe, her knuckles turning white. She felt a strange tingling sensation, from the tips of her fingers to the roots of her hair.

Sarah looked up, a placid expression on her face. "Found it in the bathroom. Sorry."

Emily stumbled forward, her legs feeling suddenly heavy. She felt a deep, disquieting tremor in her chest. She found herself unable to speak. The room spun around her. It was as if she had lost control of her own body.
