Miriam looked at the mirror hanging in the hallway. This one was not long but a ovel shape on but the house beyond was the same. It was a small mirror and she hung halfway out of it. Using it like a wall she hosted herself up and over it. Her boots hitting the wood floor.

She went to the kitchen. Digging in the fridge foor food. Then she saw Trevor standing there on the other side of the fridge door. He tust got out of the shower, his hair still wet. His eyes wide. She took out her favourite, A chocolate E'clear. She sat down on the kitchen table with it. Only the did Trevor yell. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WHERE GONE FOR 2 DAYS?". Miriam  shrugged.
"2 days huh? I knew I was there longer then expected." Travor stood there in the door frame. "Where were you exactly!?" He asked. She took the first bite of the treet. The cream fulling her mouth. "Hmmm...so good. I was in and an old house, in the tub." Trevor frowned. "Why? And how are you so calm...that is not normal!" He said pointing at her. "Well I was kinda haveing a apifiny." She said eating a bit more.

Trevor stood by her now. "I was worried sick!" He sed wanting to tuch ther shoulder. "For someone who is worryd you shore have odd ways to show it" she said coldly. Trevor froze. He stood there frozen as she stood up to put her plate in the sink. "I did notice the new locks on the front door. The windows are all locked and..." she turnd to him emotionless. "And you have a panic button in the hallway." She said to him walking to him. In sinc he takes steps back. "Don't think I don't know the smell gunpowder coming in."

He held his hands over his head. "Im skerd of you. Its all your parents falt! I mean who feeds there child, human? I tried to teach you rite by loveing you. Then I saw you playing in my mother's blood...at that time I knew there was no stopping your mind." Trevor cryde, tears streeming down his face.
"I didn't want to believe it! When I found out that my father raped and beat you I tried my best to be there!. But...but..." he cryde harder seeing Miriam holding a chopping knife in her left hand.
"You cut your arm and kept on with that Mira person! You seemd to get better so I left it but then...then you lost your eyes! You put wire in your arm! You have gone mad!..." he looked up as Miriam held the knife above her head. Trevors tears dride and did not even try to stop her "I'm sorry! This is all my falt." He looked up at her emotionless face.
"I understand now. Mira wasn't your insanity. She was your sanity...and I killed her."

She then stabbed, cut and killed her own and last family member. She sat down at the kitchen table covered in blood. Emotions  coming back in her and it felt somewhat unreal. She looked at the blood and boddy at her feet. She did it but she felt asif she was not there. She was upset with that. "Well I guess I will have to keep going until I feel the satisfaction of it."

Miriam then dipped her fingers in the blood and druw on the wall. Humming a choon.
