Miriam In The Mirror

Chapter 3

It has been 3 years sence Trevors mother died. Trevor is now in university while littel 7 year old Miriam is at home with the alcoholic father. Lucky for Miriam Trevor came home for a week this week.

Now Miriam was holding her freshly beaten face, not sheading a tear. It has been this way so long that Miriam has lost all fealing. Her nerves are like steel after the father electrocuted her while she was bathing. She sat in her room in front of the mirror just looking at it.

"Mira...are you thear?" Miriam asked quitely not wanting to wake her drunk father up. Her reflection blinked a few times then smiled "Hi Miriam" her reflection said smiling but soon looked sad "Again  huh?"

The reflection had longish blond hair like Miriam but unlike her the reflection was happy and her face was not scarde. The stitches still in place of where the father had used one of his beer bottles to try and cut her.

"Mira...Im going to kill him." Miriam said calmly. Mira's eyes groow. "What, no! You can't there has to be another way for you to be happy." Mirian panicked
"Run away." Mira rold her eyes "That isn't better." Miriam looked up "Anything is better then here. You don't know what it is like. On your side of the playn its just all happiness and freedom."

Mira then put her hand to the glass. "I understand your situation but know any action you take...Im here for you."

Miriam then put her hand to the glass. Mira looked shocked "Miriam?" She asked. Miriam pushed hard on the mirror bending unerd her palm and her hand started to go in. Mira moved out the way "Miriam! You can't do this! Stop let go! Miriam!?" She panicked. Mira was in shok and started to cry "Miriam! Pleace stop! You know you can't come in here!" Miriam was in the mirror till her elbow now. As Mira panicked she saw that Miriam did not cry but seemd that she was emotionless. Miriam pushed deeper she was in till her sholder but snapped as Mira got a cut over her left eye. She noticed that it was like her new cut ofer her eye. Mira was crying but she cryed black liquid. "Miram...stop...please...it hurts." She said holding her eye. Miriam pulled out fell back and yelled full of pain.

The father was up first and walked in "Shut-" he saw the bleeding girl and shattered mirror. He got mad at her "Who is going to clean that blood!" He yelled and Trevor ran in and stopped in his traks. His blonde hear covering his wide blou eyes. "Miraim..." he said. The father grabed her bleeding hand and ripped her up by it. He hit her and she hit to the other side of the rooms wall.

Trevor ran to his father "What the hell are you doing!?" He yelled and ran to help wounded Miriam that was passed out on the floor. He grabed her and headed for the car. Travor needed to get her to a hospital.

On the way Trevor kept saying things like "Hang on." or "We are almost there."
Miriam cryed as she woke up. "Big...brother...I hurt her..." Travor was cold, his blood draned out of his face. He didn't need this now. He doesn't want to remember his mother now. He didn't need those negative thoughts in his head.

"Who?" He asked skerd. Miraim cryed "M-Mira..."

With that Travor stoped nexst to the hospital. But he did not move. His hands gripped the steering wheel hard. "Danm" he said getting out and holding Miriam in his arms and running into the hospital. The doctor came out later telling Trevor that all the glass from a mirror was removed but she will forever have the skars.

Trevor sat and  thought of this "Mira" person, that Miriam would cry over hurting. When Miriam never cryed ofer his mother.
