The figure turned towards us. I grabbed Kaitlyn's arm and began pulling her towards the stairs. She was frozen in shock and I couldn't get her to move.

I pulled as hard as I could and she finally started moving. We got halfway up when the figure called after us.

" Wait! " His voice was thick with a British accent.

I felt Kaitlyn tug against me to stop me but I kept pulling her along. We had to get out of here.

I let out a small scream as another figure appeared at the top of the stairs. He seemed as confused as we were as to what was happening.

I had no other choice but to stop, or I'd ram straight into him. I backed away from him into Kaitlyn. I fumbled in the dark, trying to make out the face of either of the figures.

" Niall, the lights please. " the figure from the living room called.

The figure I assume was Niall flicked the light switch at the top of the stairs, lighting up the stairs and the floor below us.

Niall had blue eyes and blonde hair, and looked like he had just woken up.

" Come down here, and bring those girls. " the voice called.

Niall rubbed his eyes and sighed, leading us back down the stairs. My heart was beating out of my chest as he did so, my mind running wild with questions.

We entered the living room and we where greeted by a tall man, or should I say boy? Anyways, he had curly brown hair and bright green eyes. He didn't seem all that scary, now that I could see what he looked like.

He smiled brightly at us. " Hello. "

" H-Hi " Kaitlyn said, shakily.

" I'm Harry. " he said.

We glanced at each other before speaking. " I'm Kaitlyn. " she said.

I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off. " And you must be Chandler. " he said, handing me my brush.

I nodded and took it out of his hand, my heart starting to calm down a bit. I still felt a strange urge to run as fast as I could out and away from this place.

" Why don't you sit down and stay a bit? I know you probably have some questions. " Harry said, motioning us over to the couch.

I looked at Kaitlyn before hesitantly walking over to the couch and sitting down. She followed me shortly after, sitting down close to me.

" So, what would you like to know? " Harry said, motioning Niall over to sit down in the two chairs across from us.

I felt Kaitlyn shift uncomfortably beside me. She seemed as uneasy as I was, maybe even a bit more.

" Uh.." I started off, wearily. " How um..how does that mirror work? " I asked, not sure if I made complete sense.

He gave me a sad smile, and looked at the floor before answering.

" Well in 1991, me and the my best friends where straight out of college, much like I assume you are. We moved into this mansion, which at the time was brand new. " he spoke, sorrow filling his voice.

" My room was the room that I presume is yours now, I shared it with my best mate Louis. The mirror, it was already there. But again, along with the rest of the house, it was brand new. " he looked up to make sure we where still listening, and I nodded.

" Well, " he said, looking back down at the floor, " One day we got a visit from some old lady. She told us we'd be trapped in this house forever if we didn't leave immediately, but we just laughed it off like nothing happened. "

He let out deep sigh. " So, when we went to sleep that night, we woke up and thought nothing was wrong. But we tried to leave, and we couldn't. We really were trapped. "

Niall patted his back as they both exchanged glances.

" Anyways, long story short, that mirror is the door between two parts of time. You can come and go whenever you want to, but unlucky for us, we are stuck here. " he finished off.

I looked at Kaitlyn and she looked at me as if to say 'he's a lunatic'. I gave her a hard glare before turning my attention back to Harry.

"Anymore questions? " he asked.

I shook my head and looked at Kaitlyn. She shrugged.

He nodded. " Well, you're welcome to stay if you'd like, although it is quite late." He said, standing.

Kaitlyn stood up also. " No, I think we'll be going. " I nodded and Harry stuck out his hand to help me up.

I took it hesitantly. He pulled me up, almost causing me to smash into his chest. I backed away awkwardly, dropping his hand. I could feel my face flush with embarrassment.

He chuckled softly before leading us up to his room. He mumbled something but before I could ask what he said, Kaitlyn pushed me through to the other side.

I let out a huge sigh as we re-entered our room and I flopped on the bed.

" That was..interesting. " I said.

She nodded. " I think he's a loon. "

I lifted my head up. " Why? "

She gave me a look that said 'really?'

I shook my head. " He's not crazy, Kay. If anything we are the crazy ones. "

" How so? " she snapped.

" Well, for one we went through a mirror. " I snapped back.

She rolled her eyes. I scoffed at her. How could she call Harry crazy when we are the ones who found a mirror that you can walk through?? No one would believe us if we told them either.

I just closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.
