Mirrors

Chapter 1: Jumping In

Dacey P.O.V

"OMG! You look GORGEOUS!" Abby looked me up and down as I twirled in the mirror.  

"Thanks gurl. You look pretty fine yourself!" I replied staring at the beautiful short cut blue/green dress.  

"No. No, no, no. I mean just look at this stain! Remember last year? We had eaten spaghetti! And I dropped a noo-" 

"Yes, I remember gurl. Calm down! I have a stain just like that!"  

We walked out of my bathroom and down the stairs.  

"When does that partay start again?" Abby asked packing her purse with her phone and wallet.  

"9:30. We have about 45 minutes to make it there. Can I see your mirror for a minute?"  

"Yes ma'am."  

She passed me the small mirror constantly in her purse. I touched the glass, my fingers being pushed back it seemed, and closed the little cap causing a satisfying click.  

"Let's get going!"  

Abby and I ran to the car and turned the radio on. One of One Direction's album was in and we sang and danced along to the music on the 35 minute drive. 

"Hay gurl, I gotta pee. Pull over." 

Abby pulled over and at the gas station, which looked abandoned. The lights flickered and most of the glass in the windows were gone. A strange man stood at a register, chewing on a pen bottom.  

"Hello ma'am. Can I interest you in some bug spray?"  

I noticed one of his eyes lacked color and focus. His clothes were ragged and he smelled of manure.  

"No thanks. Can I use your restroom?" 

I stared at the dusty counter top and what looked like candy from the 1970s. 

"Ma'am, there is a better gas station just a mile from here. I recon you head down that way before anything happens. This ain't no ordinary gas station." 

"Sir, I'm sorry, but I really gotta go." 

He gave me a stern look but handed me a giant flash light, and a roll of toilet paper. 

"What's this for?"  

I asked looking at the flash light having knots in my stomach grow. I mean who would need a flashlight? Why?  

"I recon you best be goin." 

He gave me the directions to the bathroom and I left. When I walked in, I searched for the light switch and realized there wasn't one. 

I did my business, and began to wash my hands. I flicked my fingers to get the water off. A few drops landed on the mirror. They seemed to disappear, instead of roll down, like they usually do. I touched the glass, and my hand went right through. I pulled back, startled, and began to walk out. I shined the flash light at the mirror one last time, but the light didnt reflect. Maybe I wasn't losing my mind. I walked over and stood on the sink. After a minute of debating, I jumped in.
