Chapter 18, Mirror Mirror

I stood up. I walked towards the mirror. Slowly but surely. Jason kept the man busy. I kept telling myself this would be over if I just got the mirror outside. But, the man kept trying to stop me. Jason kept trying to stop him. They were both bleeding a bit and they had a few bruises. Nothing terrible so far. I reached the mirror and tried to pull it off. It was stuck good. I pulled and pulled. It won't budge. I finally got it free. It was heavy. I could barely carry it. The man kept trying to get to me, but Jason stopped him. Suddenly, my body went weak and I blacked out.

-Dream-
I was standing in front of a mirror with a peace of paper in my hands. It read:
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Will you send the dragons to
There dragon ball?
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who will be the one to
End it all?

I looked at it funny. I figured I should say it out loud. After I said it, the mirror lit up. "My dear girl, the dragons are hunting for their pearl. The boy who you seek is now weak. Save him, and the world won't be dim," the mirror responded. "Mirror mirror on the wall, where's this pearl of a ball?" I asked. I knew I had to rhyme. "Oh Sarah, it's with Cara," the mirror responded. "Mirror mirror on the wall where is Cara and her ball?" I asked. "Girl, it is at the town of Whirl," responded the mirror. I knew that town. It was 3 miles from mine. This just might work. "Thanks," I said to the mirror. "Anytime," it responded. So I didn't have to rhyme. Suddenly an earthquake hit.

-End of dream-

The man and Jason were both kneeling next to me. I opened my eyes. "She's okay," said the man. "Thanks for your help," Jason said. "It's what doctors do," he said, "I was just forced to protect the mirror, but to me, others are more important. We can live in our world." "Do you need a pearl?" I asked. The man nodded. "It's with a girl named Cara from Whirl," I told him. "What?" Jason asked. "We need our power pearl," the man explained, "It is here." "Let's get it then," Jason said.

We left with the mirror. We told the man we won't use in unless we had too. He said that was fine. It was weird he didn't have wings though. He said he just hides them. We left. We drove to Whirl in the car after we got out of the submarine. As soon as we got to the town, we knew where Cara's house was. It had a sign that said, "Cara's Cookies are on sale!" We knocked. "Come in," said a voice. We went in. Cara was a tall skinny woman with long hair. "Are you here for cookies?" she asked. "No, but can we see your pearl?" Jason asked. "Ah yes!" Cara replied. She led us into a bedroom. She opened a drawer and pulled it out. "It's the dragon's," she said. "Will you give it back?" Jason asked.

-2 minutes later-

Jason was thrown out of the house. Cara let me stay in. I watched Jason's reaction from a window. "I just asked!" cried Jason, rubbing the spot where Cara kicked his bottom. "Why would you ever ask if I'm going to give it back?" she asked, "I would of if I wanted to!" "What about a competition to see who gets it?" Jason asked. "What kind?" Cara asked, sounding interested. "What ever you want," Jason responded. "A stick building contest," Cara said.
