The Monster In the Mirror [Thomas Brodie Sangster]

Part 9

He smiled gripping my hand tighter as he helped me up from the bed he went to pull me away but my foot tripped on the covers and I went face first into his chest luckily he caught me his hand on my waist "Ohh hello" He laughs giving my head a kiss before he helped me up leading me out of the room. all the walls where like new, the floors perfect and clean, the paintings and frames on the walls where perfect, the windows all unbroken and clean. I was so confused It was defiantly the same house but so different. He pulled me up to another room on a higher floor it was a beautiful bedroom twice the size of almost any other room I had seen in the house, This room must have been one of the rooms collapsed into complete ruin. It had perfect striped wallpaper and beautiful perfect floors, two huge stained glass doors with white billowing curtains it open to a beautiful balcony, a huge four poster bed with red and gold curtains and sheets, the beautiful candles across the room and sweet flowers on almost every surface, I went out to the balcony standing taking a grip on the wooden carving that ran along the edge of the banister I could see across the hill the house sat on, I could see over the hill and saw the edge of the rocky beach below and the vast infinitely stretching ocean, where the sun was slowly setting slipping below the blue ocean.

"wh- What is this place?" I asked "Why is it so different?" I asked "What's going on here? Why is the world like this?"

"I Made it" 

"You- You what?" I asked

"I made it" He says "I created this place for you. I saw what would make you happy and changed this place to make you happy my love" 

"What are you talking about?"

"This place, this world we are in. This is what exists beyond the mirror, within the reflection, we can change it manipulate the reflection with whatever you want it to be, we live beyond the mirror." he explained 

"what are you?" 

"... I'm called a Reflectant."

"what are Reflectants?"

"Creatures that live beyond mirrors, in the refection's of  mirrors, only nights without moons so the pure darkness allows the mirrors to become passable and we can entre your world,"

"To feed?"

"To feed, On blood. and flesh." He answered "But also to search"

"Search for what?"

"... A Mate" 

"A- A Mate?"

"A Mate that will join us in the mirror, and stay here with us" He explained holding my waist 

"Stay here?"

"Forever my love. Within the mirror we will not age, we will not hurt, we will not die, purely stay whatever way you want to, in this world that can be whatever you want it to be"

"But why choose me?" 

"You, made me happy. You made me want to hold you, made me want to be around you"

"So you bit me?"

"So you could come thought" He explained "It won't spread anymore my love, unless you want it to" he explained "If you stay with me? you can stay here forever make this place whatever you want it to be?" He smiled moving his hand which made the sun rise high into the sky the sky turning back to blue the sun much higher then before "You try my love" He says I smiled moving my hand and with every way I moved the sun moved, the time changed I moved it away until the sun completely set leaving a beautiful dark blue sky with twinkling stars "you can change this world to whatever will make you happy" He says wrapping his arms around waist nuzzling his nose against my neck "so long as you stay with me, if you stay You'll be my queen of our own world"
