A girl looks up into the mirror, she shakes at what she sees, there looking back at her was herself but the eyes were black and it's smile sinister, she takes a step back from it, the reflection tilts it head at her "you know I can make it all go away." It tells her in a fake sweet tone, the girl shakes her head unable to speak, the reflection put its hand on the mirror "all you have to do is come with me" it tells her. The girl steps away from it thinking it over, "just think if you do  no more pain, no more sorrow, no more guilt" it tells her the smile growing more sinister by the moment "no" she tells it in a shaking voice, the reflection growled at the answer "what do you mean no?" It snaps at her, she looks up at it with fear in her eyes "no, if I go with you I lose everything, I won't do it!" She shouts at it, the reflection clicks its tongue before rolling its eyes, "fine but I hope you know, I'll always be there in the back of your mind, just waiting for you to finally realize you need me" it tells her with a laugh. The girl closes her eyes and put her head down shaking  her head "no,no, no," she mumbled repeatedly, she could feel her reflection's smile at her, she wouldn't do it, she would not give in to it, "we'll see" she heard it say, she opened her eyes and slowly looked up at her reflection, staring back at her was her normal reflection, her eyes looked sad and tried, she let out a shaky laugh knowing it wouldn't be long till it was back beckoning her to follow it, like it said its always in the back of her mind just waiting for its chance, she glared at her reflection "I will never give you that chance" she says out loud before walking away leaving nothing but an empty mirror with no reflection.
