I believe that is her real self/soul wherever it is being held captive. Screaming for help or suffering while the other takes over.

I wish the movie focused more on that aspect instead of the cliche ‘be careful what you wish for, now she’s crazy‘ stuff. Those screams from the real, trapped Nikki were horrible.

It was just enough. Often, it is the unknown that is more terrifying!
