"DINNER" The others called. I looked in the mirror at my brand new attire - I liked it. I noticed my cheeks were red and stained with tears and my long light brown hair was an absolute mess, it was so knotty.
"Hey" Caleb stood in the doorway.
"Oh...hi"I gazed down at my shiny boots and fiddled with my dainty fingers.
"Erm dinners ready" I could feel his eyes staring at me.
"I'll be there in a minute" I still refused to look up. Caleb sighed heavily and took a huge gulp.
"I...erm...I found this and thought you might like it" His reflection appeared behind me in the mirror, holding a silver chain.

"Nothing" I quickly responded.
"It's complicated" Caleb replied at the same time, making Xia let out a slight giggle. We all continued to much onto the fresh meal.
*CRASH*
"What the-"
*BANG* Loud ringing noises could be heard as if they were in the building.
"HIDE HIDE" Xia shouted whilst jumping from her chair.
I darted and hid into the nearby kitchen, along with Caleb.
I could hear heavy footsteps treading around, getting closer and closer...
