Laurel's Pov.
When the flashback came to me, I leaned back slightly and my grandmothers words ran throughout me. Freshly baked cookies and cupcakes filled the musty air. As the sweet scent found its way to me through the house, my legs moved toward the cookies and cupcakes. My eyes fell upon them and drool fell onto the floor. A sudden weight on my shoulder pulled me out of my trance. Turning towards the weight, my eyes meet grandpas eyes. The sweet, caring stare made me happy and my lips tug up in a smile. From the living room, my grandmas voice rang throughout the small home, "Laurel darling, can you come here for a minute?" As I ran to her, I reply, "Of course!" When I entered the small, square room, I saw her grasping something. Out of pure curiosity, I ask, "Grandma, what is that?" She glances up at me and her lips curl into a smile. After a little while she answers, "This is a special mirror. It was given to me by my mom, who got it from my grandma. It will be passed down. Your mother isn't here right now to give it to you so I will. Take very good care of it." With that being said, she gently placed it in my arms. Instinctively, I cuddle it closer to me and thank her. When I got home, I place it on the wall and look at myself through it.
My mom has always loved that mirror. As I remember 7 year old me receiving the mirror, I cry. It's now broken and shattered and I know it won't be the same without it. Then my mind travels back to my mom and her condition. In this moment I realize that my mom is not the same... She a monster!
