Mirror Me (Rewriting)

Chapter-21 Visions of a Woman

Was that his wife? They seem happy so why does he not want to talk about her? What happened? A hand touched my shoulder. I jumped away from it, then realized it was just Joanan. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you out here in the cold and what were you doing?"

"Don't worry about it. Let's just go back to sleep." I began to walk back into the cave. He grabbed my hand.

"What happened? Tell me" he said.

"It is best not said until I can confirm" I told him. I don't want to ask him about her since he was clearly uncomfortable last time I mentioned her. We went back to sleep.

I woke up again and this time Joanan had woken first. I don't understand why he just let's me use him as a pillow. He could have gotten up if he wanted to. Isn't it boring just sitting there. Anyway, we continued on. We went on walking through the forest and not too long after, I felt a hand cover my mouth and another wrap around my waist. The hand was freezing cold. I was behind Joanan so he didn't see this. I kicked and tried to scream but it made no difference. After a while I gave up.

I was taken to a very small house by a pond. The person pushed me against the wall.

"Let's see how long it takes for mirror me to find you..." It was mirror him.

"Please just let me go. I'm still in pain and I-"

"Shutup! I'll do whatever I want! Sadly, I'm not going to hurt you... You're going to hurt yourself." He says.

"What do you mean?" He placed a plate of food in front of me.

"What is that supposed to do?" I ask annoyed.

"This is going to test how much you care. Both of you are going to work together to keep mirror me alive. At some point you'll begin to starve and it will get harder to resist. You will have to starve yourself to keep him alive until he finds you. You better hope he does so quickly. If you eat even a sliver of something he dies" he laughs evily then walks away. Why didn't he tie me up? I walk over to the door. I can just- I turn the knob and the door didn't opened. It was locked. There were no windows. The only light in here was a single candle. There was nothing but empty space in this house. I walk into the next room and it was the same empty room except there was a buffet table in the middle of the room. The light in this room was a ceiling light. This is going to be harder than I thought. I hope he comes quick and I can resist until then. Right now I'm not hungry, but the food smells so good...it's already tempting. I run back into the first room and picked up the plate. Then threw it into the other room. The glass plate broke and the food was all over the floor. I walk back into the candle room and saw that the plate was back where it was. I was shocked. I'm going to go crazy in here...
