“Hello Mardy,” it said with Mardy’s voice. It smiled Mardy’s smile, as if it were about to share a deep, delicious secret, just between the two of them. “I’m you.”
MARDY STARED. IT was herself. Perfect as a mirror’s reflection. But where a mirror would have shown the horror now growing in her own face, the Fetch’s expression did not falter. The Fetch laughed and shook its hair back over its shoulder, just as Mardy did forty times a day. And these actions, so familiar and instinctive as to be part of her, made it more alien than any stranger’s face could be. Mardy screamed. She shut her eyes, opened her mouth and let the scream block everything: the Fetch in front of her, her mother coming up the stairs behind. It all became light-headed blindness, white noise, a tingling in her fingertips and toes, and then the relief of her own conscious mind buckling under these things and – gratefully – nothing at all.
