Living With the Mirrors

Spring Ball

I got into my dress and pretended nothing happened. I'd tell Ally tomorrow, didn't want to ruin her night. Keean was on edge but I assured him we'd get his mom back. I got into my gown. A short black dress with silver details. My hair was down. That would be the first and last time it was. I wore black converse. They got me into a dress, that was enough. So don't say I have to wear high heels. That's never gonna happen.
Ding dong

That's Matt. I opened the door.
'Hello, are you Robyn's twin sister. Nice to meet you are you also going somewhere special?' He said with a huge grin.
'Yes, nice to meet you. You could start with 'You look amazing' that would be gentleman like.'
'You look stunning Robyn. Are you sure it's really you?'
'Yes, why?'
'Cause I have a super hot, tomboy girlfriend. I chose well. They're all gonna be jealous.'
'Were gonna be late. Speeches at the end if the evening.'
'Shall we get going Milandy?'
'Yes, we shall. Oh Matt, I need to tell you something.' He noticed the edge in my voice. He turned me towards him,
'What's wrong?'
'Keeans mom was kidnapped. The ransom is Ally. The exchange student from London.'
'Oh, when's the deadline?'
'Tomorrow midnight.'
'Let's get going. We'll talk about it tomorrow. K?'
'Okay. I planned that. Let's only tell Ally tomorrow so we don't ruin her night.'
'Agreed. After you Milandy.' He said gesturing to the door of his Truck. He was a year older meaning he had his learners. He got a week ago.

We arrived at the front step and Matt found a parking place. I saw Ally just arriving right after us. She was wearing a white flowing dress. Short at the front and long at the back. It was beautiful. She walked up to us with the guy from the bus stop. Matt arrived in time.
'Matt, who the hell is this?'
'Where's Robyn?' She said like she meant it. Didn't she know it was me or was she joking?
'Hi, I'm Emily. ' I said to confuse her. She looked really mad.
'I'm so disappointed in you Matt. You don't know how much you messed up. Robyn must be heart broken.'
'Yeah she was.' I said.
'Your not in this Emily! Wait, was. I'm glad she's already got over you. Honestly your no good for her, you broke her heart, twice now.' I couldn't hold it in anymore. I burst out laughing.
'It's me, Robyn. I'm just wearing my hair down. You can tell its me because of the shoes. I'm wearing takkies instead of heels. Sorry if I scared. Glad you would defend me like that. Thanks.' She looked at me mouth wide open.
'R..R..Robyn? You look different, in a good way.' She started speaking in my mind.
Wow, you look amazing. Matt must be the luckiest guy ever.
Thanks. I replied in my head to her. Trying to block the memory of the guy. Probably thinking too hard not to because she found the memory.
Ally gasped.
'Robyn I need the bathroom come with me.' She turned to our dates. 'We'll be right back.' She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the bathroom. She locked the door and checked no one else was in there with us.
'What do you mean Keeans mom was taken by my stalker and only would give her back if you gave me up?'
'I didn't want to ruin you night. I was going to tell you tomorrow. I was trying to think of a plan so you wouldn't have to get kidnapped.'
'We need to get her back. Now.'
'Ok, but where do we start?'
'You were standing in front of the guy. Right?'
'Right.' I said still not catching onto her plan.
'He went out the front door, right?'
'Right. Where's this going?'
'Well, if you stood in front of him long enough then I might be able to read his mind and find where Keeans mom is.'
'How would you do that?'
'Well, I've been practicing and if I go into your mind then I can read his though your mind.' She said with a smile.
'Can you do that?'
'Well, Tanya likes this guy so I convinced her to say Hi to him. Then I could read his mind and tell her that he likes her and is going to ask her out. She was thrilled and went to talk to him. Then he asked her out. They're on their date as we speak. '
'Ok, well then times a wasting. Read that guys mind.'
Robyn REMEBER that situation. Then this'll be easier.
Ok, it was today.
She found the memory, suddenly I remember Ally being there too but she looked like a ghost. She was all white and cloud like. He didn't seem to notice. She read his mind. And gasped.
Suddenly my eyes flung open and I saw we were still in the bathroom. I was on the floor in a cold sweat. Ally was standing still murmuring something, in a language I didn't understand. It seemed other worldly. She was stuck staring at the wall with wide eyes. I caught one word she was saying.
Tanya....Tanya........Tanya..........Spe ca vex lu ba roo.

She kept muttering. I stood up on shaking legs trying to regain balance. My legs weren't working they went numb. The floor became closer, I fell to the floor. I crawled over to the sink, using it as a walking stick. I hoisted myself up off the ground. I flung myself at Ally. My legs decided it wasn't nap time and I regained my balance.
I stood using my own legs and shook Ally by the shoulders.
'What?! You look like you saw a ghost. What is wrong? Wake up out of the trance!' I yelled at her. Suddenly she looked at me with big, scared wide eyes.
'Tanya, she's in trouble. The guy she's in a date with.... Is the hoodie guy. He has one power.'
'What.... What is his power?' I said with a shaky voice.
'Hypnosis. He can only hypnotize people if he Kisses them. Tanya said she would try to get a first kiss out of him, tonight. Their date ended 5 minutes ago. '
'I'm no mind reader but that means she'll be his evil queen?'
