The Sacred Mirror

Chapter 9 *Forgetful Tragedy Part 1*

Mom and dad sits on their bed while Kiarah and I sit next to each other on the floor, as we get ready to listen to what happened years ago. Mother gets up and opens the drawer to her nightstand.

Isabella: "Keomae...Kiarah is your identical twin sister..." My eyes widened. I know I've heard the words being said before but it shocked me to hear it come from mother's mouth.

Father pulls out a box from underneath their bed. Inside the box were a bunch of pictures, he handed me a picture that was torn down the middle, while mother handed Kiarah a picture that was in her drawer. We held the two pictures together and there it was. Two little girls, one that wore a pink flowered dress and the other wore a blue flowered dress, they were identical.

Isabella: "Kiarah, your father and I never forgot about you. Not even for a second" mother explains. Kiarah flips over the photo reading what was written on the back.

Kiarah: "I will never forget you K" I gasped. So the "k" stood for Kiarah, that entire time?

My entire life I was lead to believe that I was an only child. Why would they keep her a secret?

Keomae: "What happened?" I asked.

Izekael: "You two were just little girls at the time"

Isabella: "inseparable to, they wanted to do everything together" mother smiles warmly.

Izekael: "and that mirror has been with you two since day one, even to this day" the magic mirror?

Isabella: "That's right, that mirror has been passed down in our family from generations to generations on. We were told to pass the mirror onto the next set of twins" mother informs.

Izekael: "you see, your mother and I has twins on both sides of our family. On hers as well as mines. Who would've thought that we would be so fortunate, so blessed to have twins of our own"

Isabella: "we knew of the mirrors' powers."

Izekael: "after all before you two were born. Your mother and I use to fight side by side together, vanquishing every enemy that approached us."

Isabella: "we were young and in love" she says as they take hold of each other's hands looking deep into each other's eyes.

Izekael: "We decided to settle down, and once we found out we were having you two, we knew we had to make some changes. So we had the mirror take us to another era, an era where you two would be safe from any danger." Father tells us.

Kiarah: "Danger?" Kiarah asks, I was still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that the two of them were warriors back then, that was freakin' incredible! I snapped out of it once mother started to speak again.

Isabella: "Yes danger, like I said we knew of the mirrors powers, but we weren't the only one's."

Izekael: "The mirror is at its strongest with twins, and once word got out that Isabella and I were having you two, everyone was trying to come after your mother and the mirror. So we moved to this era, where there was no danger and your mother--" mother cuts father off.

Isabella: "and I was able to give birth to two beautiful princesses. To you Kiarah and to you Keomae."

Izekael: "A happy family, we all lived in peace but..." Father paused.

Keomae: "but what?" I asked even more curious.

Isabella: "but the tradition" mom continued "we had to keep the tradition, no matter where we were, we could never escape it. I just didn't think that the mirrors' powers could be triggered at such an early age."
