The Hidden World

Mystical Mirror On The Wall...

chapter 1 Mystical mirror

Christiana took a deep breath and looked again. The image in the mirror was an exact replica of her, yet so more beautiful and those clothes , they were ...well medieval princess clothes . The background was or looked like a palace garden , at least she thought the garden was from a palace , not that she had ever seen a palace garden except in books . Suddenly an angry voice yelled through the attic ceiling '' Christina!!!!!!''. Christina sighed loath to look away from the strange mirror . Yet there was a magical or rather mystical feeling about it . often Christina 's mother said '' Her mind is always absent and always day dreaming about those silly fantasy stories she reads ''. she sighed '' It can't be magical , nothing in this world is magical like my silly fantasy stories. oh I'm silly as a goose ''.CHRISTINA!!!!!. ''Coming mother!'' she shouted. She casted one more look at the mirror and thought she saw all the colors in the mirror run together into one colorful glob . Christina puckered her eyebrows and hurried down the attic stairs . Her mother was waiting at the dirty dishes pile at the sink and with a calm yet angry voice demanded '' What where you doing in the attic?'' .'' Day dreaming I bet .

Lately she has been telling me of a mirror that's magical ''. said Brianna;  Christiania's older very realistic , no fun , sister. As believing what Brianna said was the fact not a guess her mom said '' Well you better be working not dreaming , now you better do these dishes that I asked you and Brianna to do ''. '' Yes mom ''. said Christiana respectfully. Her moms angry countenance evaporated and she said kindly '' Times are hard and living at your sick aunt's house is especially hard for me . We are here to take care of her , not be dreaming all the time. I know your birthday is coming up and it looks like your aunt won't make it past then so I'm  asking you to move the day of celebrating to this Thursday. Can you help me all you can and have a good attitude about your birthday , for your aunt?''. '' Yes mam''. replied Christina . ''Thank you dear.'' her mom said as she took Christina into a big hug . Im just cranky this evening. It is really hard. Then there is your dad being on tour for so long .Please forgive my crankiness. Let's pray and ask God to bring him home safely and if possible heal aunt Ruth . The three people bowed their heads and prayed.

 ''Now for those dishes . Christiana dry and Brianna you wash.'' said their mom nodding with her head towards the pile . Both the girls moaned in unison for the pile was large.
