Miriam was moved into her brothers kear after that night. Trevor went home later only to find his dead father. Trevor sence then has been to a sociologist. Today was the day Trevor had to go for is 'troma' so Miriam walked home from school.

She was a blok away when a man stopped her. "O well hello there." He said smiling.
Miriam did not smile. "Greetings." She said and walked on. He followed her "Hay what is with the long face?" He asked. She turnd to him "Just a long day is all." He leend on her fencing of her home "What happend?" He asked and held his hand with candy "If you tell me you can have all the candy you want." She looked down at his hand.

"The kids are bulling me because of my skars." She said, taking one candy. "My teachers think that I need help." She took another candy. "My gardion is deprest he lost his perents." Another candy. "I don't know where to beary that stupid barking dog from next door." She said fostrated and took another candy. "There that is all." she said and closed his hand.

"My name is Miriam anyway." She said emotionless. The tall man smiled "My name is laughing Jack. That is a lot of pain for a child." He said sitting down. Miriam looked at the 4 candy peaces in her hand. "You have gone thru a lot too, haven't you?" Jack was quite. Miriam asked then "How did you deal with it?" Jack smiled "I killed the pain...I hate little children because of it so I kill everyone I can." He said standing up leaning ofer her. His smile gone. "This means you as well."

Miriam looked him in the eyes "Then you will just love this street. There is at least two children in every household. You can get them all." She turnde and walked away. Miriam stopped and looked back at the stunned man. "Atleast leave me for last...I wanna go kill off some pain frist." She walked into her home. The mirror in the hall then spoke up "Miriam! Welkom home! I was waiting all day." Mira yelled happy.

Miriam just nodded. A crack of a smile on her lips. She then walked out to the garden and throu all the candy ofer the fence. When she got back in the house Mira looked at her confused. Miram just sat down infrund of the mirror "Im not that dumb. I won't eat the candy that a stranger gave me. I mean i don't know if its poisend or anything."  Mira then nodded "But why did you through it over the wall?" Miram ate an apple as she spoke "Because if it is poisend then the dog can eat it all he wants or at least choke on it."

Mira just shook her head "You are to violent for a 11 year old." Mira said and Miriam held her crack if a smile "Your just to soft on people...thay will walk over you one day and I'll be there to kick them off." Mira smiled "That means that everyone will see me in there mirrors." Miriam smiled "Yeah...thay will know the name Mira in the mirror." Mira then laugh "That will be my song when I show up!"

🎵"Mira in the mirror...
You can see and hear her
Don't tell no mam or sir

Mira in the mirror...
She lets you see clearer
Sadness brings her nearer

Mira in the mirror...
She's your smile when you cry
Forever and always by your side

Mira in the mirror."🎶

The two girls smile and giggle at the song. Miriam stopped hearing her big brothers car. She looked at the door "Big brother! Maby I can help him." She looked at Mira she just nodded "Go. He needs you."

"Thank you Mira." Miriam said and stood by the door.

The door opened. Miriam still has her smile on her face. Trevor swong the door open and Miriam hugged his torso "Welkom home big brother!" She smiled.

Travor for once in 4 years smiled and hugged Miriam. "Miriam..." he spoke somewhat happy he had a glimpse of the sweet sister back.
