A Door Of Her Own

A Gift?!

Mirabel watched in stunned delight as golden light engulfed the door. A shimmering hue began at the top before momentarily blinding her as the door way, the rat, and Mirabel herself was consumed by the light.

'Ahhh!' Gasped Mirabel as she blinked viciously to clear the black spots from her eyes.

After several minutes of rubbing her eyes and blinking away tears, Mirabel was finally able to see.

She immediately began to swivel her head side to side until she found the small rat, squeaking quietly near her left leg.

"Oh, te gusta little rat?" She quickly scooped him up in her arms.

After checking him over, she let out a breath upon finding no injuries. She didn't want to have any casualties on this adventure, even if he was a rat. And plus, he still could he Antonio's friend!

Now that she knew he was okay, she turned back to the situation at hand. Or more likely, the door.

Painted across the door in a golden glow was-!

A heart! A heart?

Mirabel stood, rat in hand, and examined the door more closely.

She's on the door of course, but unlike the rest of her family she is kneeling. Her hands are positioned in front of her cupped around, well, a heart. Shockingly enough it wasn't the most confusing thing about the door- her door. It was the fact her eyes were not gold, but pink. Surrounding the door version of Mirabel was a multitude of butterflies of all shapes and sizes.

"Es bonita!" Mirabel shrieked in excitement, before remembering the time and clamping her mouth shut.

After several beats of silence she took this as initiative to open her door.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-

The room is-! It's like the nursery? No that's not right. It's similar, but definitely different.

For starters it's much bigger, the rug is soft on Mirabel's feet, not itchy like the nursery's. There's only one bed too, and this bed is HUGE. A deep blue duvet and soft yellow pillows. Mirabel let out a shriek as she dashed towards it, being careful of her little rat as she bounced on the bed.

From her position on the bed, Mirabel saw beautiful fairy lights floating about her room. She extended her hand as one came drifting towards her.

"Mirabel?" She sucked in a breath and sat straight up, knocking the beautiful light away as her head snapped back and forth. She just heard someone.

"Si?" She breathed out. Nothing. She could feel the warm light floating just above her shoulder. It knocked gently against her. Oh.

Grasping to the light firmly with both hands, Mirabel decided that if any of her family was spying on her, then they could keep doing it. It's not like she cared anyway.

A solid warmth filled up her body, before she began to become aware of something. Like her five senses, a sixth began to bloom inside her chest.

If anyone were to ask Mirabel to describe this feeling in this exact moment, she wouldn't have been able to. Like a rubber band being snapped back, Mirabel felt her mind being shoved backward through a crack in the wall.

She is a man.
Glowing green eyes.
Shattered glass.
Screams.
Ay ay! So loud.
Too loud.
Blamed.
Her.
Not her, not her as she is now, her as her rather.
Cracks in a wall.
Bloodied hands smearing filler along the walls.
Squeaking- whispers- sand- help. Help her. Help her. Help Mirabel. Who is Mirabel?

Mirabel?

When Mirabel comes back to herself, she almost screams. She's curled in on herself, surrounded by a soft blue duvet on a too large bed. A glowing ball of light floats above her, and she has a pounding headache.

But she knows what she saw. Who she saw and where. Rolling to her knees, she blinked blearily at the several smaller balls of light that floated about her. These were a sickly green.

Mirabel jumped at a small nose nudging her hand. The little rat was blinking slowly at her, soft squeaks making its way to her.

It took her a moment before she can even guess at what her little rat is trying to say.

"I- it's late huh? We um. We need to uh." She closes her eyes and breathes out slowly. Ahe felt a little bit better.

"We need to head back to the nursery. I don't want Abuela to know about my door yet. Or my- or my gift." She says this with newfound strength before scooping up her rat and moving towards the door way.

Just as she's leaving she stopped for a moment before sending a quick wish that this was not just a dream, that her door would still be here tomorrow.

As the door begins to close and Mirabel slips out, she fails to notice the tiny door that rested in the far corner of her room. A door inside a door, this one a plain grey.

She did not notice it this time, but there was always tomorrow. Always another day. And those on the other side would be waiting.

AN: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I don't really have an excuse so. I hope you like this chapter and I PROMISE Mirabel will go into the other door next chapter. Basically this one was her finding about her new gift. So here's a list on what it is:

•Mirabel has these balls of light, originally gold, that allows her to see the past, present, and future of anyone.
•After doing this it creates new balls of light in a color the coordinates to the person.
•While this hasn't happened yet, she's going to also be able to sense the emotions of others, and this only begins after initially looking "into" them. Eventually she can just sense this.
•There's a possibility she's also going to be able to manipulate others emotions to an extent.
•Obviously the first person she looks into is Bruno. It's on accident, and she doesn't know why this happened. She does know who it is.
•The reason it's a heart on her door and not anything like Bruno's hourglass is because her gift is more focused on a persons essence rather then just their future.

So in short: Mirabel can sense other's emotions, she has these glowing balls of light that symbolise her gift, she can create them but they also show up, she can "look into" people and see their past, present and future, thus basically learning everything about them.

Any criticism please toss it my way. Also, if anyone wants to draw Mirabel's door please let me know, I just can't draw.
