   What Awaits in the Mirror

        I'd been hearing the noise for some time . Tick. Tick. Rhythmically the noise continued in time, never getting off beat. Fear caused my body to be ridged and unable to move. Sweat dripped down my face from nervousness; impatient, the ticking gets louder. "Don't move and it'll leave," I thought repeatedly in my head. Would it ever stop?

     The bathroom door swung open, this revealed where the noise was emanating from. Footsteps creaked agianst the hardwood floor, making its way towards me. A hard pull dragged me out of my bed to my feet. I tried to scream, no hope I would certainly be killed. "Follow" I heard the thing say before the footsteps were heading back to the bathroom.

      I followed the thing, entering the bathroom in shock. Everything was different, all the walls turned bleach white along with the floors. The door slammed and locked behind me. A figure appeared in the large mirror ahead of me. "Hehehe I wouldn't expect this.. you actually followed him" the figure laughed. He seemed to know me and I felt like I knew him.

      The figures white porcelain skin contrasted with his blood red eyes and black hair. I could only stare at his demonic beauty. Placing my hand to the mirror, he did the same. Our skin touched through the cold glass sending chills through me. My hand goes through the mirror and phases into his.

       Malicious intentions filled my brain as I stare into his eyes. " Do you remember me, my sweet angle?" The man speaks to me intertwining my fingers with his. "I...I am sorry, I do not." I replied. His eyes filled with pain, like I had hurt him deeply by not knowing who he was. I look away from his pained expression; even though I couldn't remember him, I felt strange around him.

      Tears swell up in my eyes and stream down my face. Why am I crying? I can't stop, what is wrong with me? "I'm Kyle, I'll help you remember me" he pulled me into the mirror, I wasn't on earth anymore.

      Scorched grounds, gray sky, and black rivers; I wondered where I was. "Sorry I can't leave this realm or I would've already." Kyle said grabbing my hand and leading me through the plains. He was so familiar I just ccouldn't place my finger on it; even the barren wasteland he dragged me through was familiar.

------------------------------------

       Hours passed and we finally made it to a small abandonment. Kyle took me inside and sat me on the alter. " For light, for dark, may all sins be vanquished from the soul of this fallen angel, to be placed on the head of a lowly demon like myself." He chanted and cut a cross into his hand. Slapping his hand to the alter caused a huge earthquake. My hair turns blonde and I remember everything.

       Kyle fell to the floor in a crumple heap. "Kyle why did you do this, I would've been fine you idiot!" I cried. He smiled at me weakly and brushed my hair from my face "I couldn't live to see you as a human any longer... now you can return to heaven." I held him tightly in my arms, he didn't have much longer. "how am I supposed to live without you..I love you" He sighed and looked deep into my eyes "You know as well as I do... our love is a sin and will never be...but when I die I can be reborn as something better and I'll get into heaven I promise." His eyes closed, and I could no longer hold back my tears. streams of sorrow and reget streak down my face. "I will wait for you Kyle, forever."

       Kyle's last words still ring through my head. Where is Kyle now? The answer to that is simple, he is living that better life he always wanted. One day he will come to heaven, I just know he will. I will wait for him as long as it takes.
