Places: The Reveal House (Places #2)

Chapter V: Not the Future, But the Past

They now not only had the Magic Mirror but also the Camera-Speculatum. They decided to take a rest in a very civilized dimension. There wasn't much to do here anyways, for it was practically Earth.
Jone took the film out of the camera where he seen pictures from historical events. Perhaps Ty had been a time traveler too, and maybe there was indeed illegal activity if time machines had been made illegal in the future.
Even the film in the camera was enough to do more than the Earth Machine could do at the moment. They knew exactly where they were going too.
They went into the first picture the film had, and they went into the past.
It was a gray, dark morning as usual in the city and people were going about their day. Trenton seen the large building which had a striking resemblance to the Reveal House. They were definitely in the 1800's. It was the original Reveal House, not the coffee shop and not a home, but the real, magical Reveal House. This was however before this became a hospital with crazy doctors performing experiments on its patients.
They watched numerous shows at the Reveal House, and one thing seemed interesting to all three of them. The Magic Mirror.
It was originally used as a mirror that showed the reflection of people who disappeared during the show. Then, after the Reveal House became an actual house where families lived and died and became haunted people found out that it wasn't any ordinary mirror. No, it can actually be a portal to other dimensions, and although when you travel you land in the Reveal House of another dimension, you can still see if your lost ones live in another dimension.
The mirror sat in the corner while clowns were performing their magic along with Mr. Hatter who was known for the big, black hat that he wore. Andrew sometimes talks about how they can hear the magic going on, and how they hear the voice of Mr. Hatter who died in the Reveal House.
The mirror sat in the corner, covered in less rust than it was now. They mustn't come into contact with the other mirror, or it could destroy the mirror they currently have, and although they could still travel back home through the 1880's mirror it would release knowledge to people of the 1880's too early and perhaps more mirrors would be in production and it would make the whole world and its course of time go off its track.
"I need another volunteer!" exclaimed Mr. Hatter. "How about you there, in the blue," he said pointing to Jone.
"Okay," said Jone, looking at his friends. "I guess a little magic won't hurt anything."
"Yes, great!" said Mr. Hatter. "How would you like to be the first one to travel through another dimension?"
The offer seemed valueless as Jone was already the first time traveler. He shouldn't go, but it was the day in time where it was found that this was the only mirror that allowed a human to travel through different dimensions.
"Yeah, I'll go," said Jone.
"Great!"
"Ō speculum, eat!" exclaimed Mr. Hatter, the crazy magician and soon to be doctor.
Jone was off, leaving Andrew and Trenton with the modern Magic Mirror.
