Angel POV

              I'm helping with the fair making sure everything's perfect for pride day

?: hey Angel a word please?

                Its the fair manger bruce

A: hm? oh hey bruce what is it?

B: we have everything basically covered but theres one more thing we need to get checked and i was wondering if you could while we take care of the farris wheel

A: sure ask away

B: the mirror fun house

A: o-oh

B: i know i know your not a fan but please? just make sure none of them are cracked

A: *sigh* okay okay yeah i can do that

                    I start walking to the fun house and walk i...the mirror maze. I quickly run down the maze at every turn making sure i don't look at the mirrors for too long. I hear her laughing at me...oh dang it. A dead end? wheres the exit i could've sworn it was this turn. I have to look up to find where i am...i look at the mirror next to me seeing my reflection...well not mine really, smirking at me

A: w-where's the way out i know you know

R: how would i know? 

                 I start running thru taking different turns. I keep seeing things in the mirrors. Black ink dripping but only in the mirrors, blood on my reflections hands, i hear the voice's laugh echoing louder. I'v tried therapy, i'v learned to block it out but i can't when mirrors are involved i just can't. Its not something that can be fixed. The mirrors start to turn black as ink and i just cover my ears and bring my knees to my chest while on the floor...i hear a door open

?: hello? hey is anyone in here

A: h-here

                They walk up to me and i just keep my eyes closed i don't know if its my mind again or real

?: h-hey hey are you okay? whats wrong...wait?...angel? hey its phoenix its okay

A: p-phoenix? 

              I open my eyes...its her. I'v only talked to her a lil bit we don't know each other well. She reaches her hand down and helps me up

P: are you okay?

 A: i-i'm...yeah yanno um headache i just got dizzy 

P: oh um okay well come on...your boss told me to come look for you when i came to volunteer

A: how long was i in here?

P: about 2 hours its getting late

                   2 HOURS? it didn't feel like that...but also it felt like i was running longer then that...i'm just glad i'm out

Violet POV

                 I get back to Ruby's place when my shift was done for the day. I open the door and find her in her room. They set up a ventilator and have a IV in her arm...i sit next to her and hold her hand...its warm...like its generating heat. She doesn't look all scary and tough when shes sleeping like this. I realized her eyes are bleeding! wait no...its...tears? I take a tissue and wipe em off softly...they are tears

R: *groan* 

V: r-ruby?

                 She stirs a lil and turns her head in my direction but doesn't open her eyes

R: a-am i finally dead?

V: no ruby no your not

R: *sigh*...d-do...you still have that key c-chain?

V: oh yeah here

                     I put it in her hand...she smiles just a lil bit. She realizes i'm holding her hand and slowly moves it away

R:...why?

V: i figured you'd want it

R: i mean...w-why do you care?

V: oh...i just figured...i want to care about you...you deserve to be cared about too

R: no i d-don't-

V: shhh yes you do...your tired...go back to sleep

R:...o-okay 

                  With that she turns her head back and falls asleep again...poor ruby...i hope she ends up okay...some day
