It was a bright, sunny day. I had once again woken up late, I looked over at my mirror,  I hated these things. They make me look bad, I've always had a precaution about them too...

"Child!" I heard a yell from the other room, my mother was too lazy to come to my room to get my attention.

"Child! I am not going to ask again!" she screeched.

"Fine.." I muttered "don't need to scream like a banshee" I added under my breath.

I pulled on a simple shirt and shorts combo, as I left my room I saw my father typing away in the study with his curtains shut, his screen printing a white light onto his face,  I've learnt over time to not try say hi. He confirmed that by getting up and closing his door, he didn't want to see me... ever..

My stomach rumbled a bit, I forgot that my late night walk made me miss dinner. I ensured myself id be able to wait a few hours.

My foot touched the first step going down and I heard a thud, looking down at my foot I thought out loud.

"That couldn't of been me.. I'm not that heavy. "

The hag had stopped calling me so I don't see why I shouldn't see what that noise was, I peeked into my mother's room and everything looked normal.

I opened the door more and what I saw... it was horrifying.

My mother's brushes and makeup were scattered along the floor, there was a woman touching my mother's mirror.

"Uh... Are you ok Roxane?" my voice shook a bit. Her finger was melting into the mirror.

"Call me that all you like, I will end her, take her beauty as all mine..." The figure cackled and melted into the mirror. I didnt move from the door. It would somehow save me.

The Mirror was clear, it just showed the wall. There was something dripping off of the frame, I was staring, unable to move.

I told you all, I didn't trust mirrors, now I have a real reason...
