Ashley's PoV
Darkness was all around me, where the hell am I and what the hell happened?
"H-hello?" I shakily shout, where was everyone? I walk around in the pitch black for a bit shouting various greetings. Suddenly a mirror appears in front of me making me jump.
"What the?" I walk over to it only to discover I have no reflection, the glass seems to picture my old Academy room. I go to place my hand on the glass when I fall through the mirror. Standing in my room I look around before checking the ceiling, it's only half painted how odd.
"What the actual fuck is happening right now?!" I shout to nobody in particular. I just want an explanation as to why I am here.
"It's here it's here!" I hear someone shout, the voice sounds familiar but who is it. Someone bursts into my room and jumps up onto the bed, envelope in hand. "is that? Is that me?" I stutter walking over to face a young me, I look so innocent and excited.
"Five get your butt in here!" She shouts, grabbing a pair of scissors from the table and jumping back onto the bed. "I'm here, I'm here what does it say." Suddenly a young Five runs into the room looking ecstatic. "Ive not opened it yet dummkopf!" She smiles before slicing in with the scissors.
"Oh... I remember this day." I sigh walking over to the pair and sitting on the bed next to them.
"Dear Miss Ashley Spectre" the young me starts "So far so good!" Five smiles with a thumbs up. The young me rolls her eyes before continuing to read the letter. A lump forms in my throat reliving this moment.
"Dear Miss Ashley Spectre, we regret to inform you that you did not get your desired role. We will offer you the lesser role of ensemble girl #8" the young girls voice trails off as her hands fall to her sides, tears forming in her hazel orbs. "Hey hey, it's alright Ashley! You were probably too good for them anyway! You will always be the best in my eyes" The young Five says, pulling ash into a tight hug in order to comfort her.
"T-thanks Five, its just i've been training really hard for this role and t-the audition seemed to go so well! They said I was pretty much guarenteed it!" I feel the warmth of a tear roll down my face. "It gets worse from here" I mutter staring at the doorway waiting for the next blow to come swinging in.
"I DID IT!!!" Is all you hear, the call from down the hall. Next you hear footsteps coming closer and closer to the room. I gulp not wanting to relive this moment. "Hey Ash! I guess the best girl won huh?" Luther said, as he and Allison appeared at the door, Allison stood holding up her letter, full of congratulations however both the younger me and I focused on one word "Fantine"
"Luther get out" Five shouts standing up pointing out the door. "I outrank you Five. I can do what I want" He smuggly replies crossing his arms. Young me just sits in the fetal position, staring at the floor. Tears streaming down both our faces I reach around her to hug her, this wasnt fair. "We all know she just used a rumour!" Five snarls making Allison jump. "You have no proof of that" Luther scoffs. This wasnt FAIR!
"WHY AM I HERE?" I shout looking up. Again I'm faced with a mirror. "Oh where to next" I growl, wiping away my tears and entering the void.
I am faced with a very boring and bland waiting room, I look around spotting myself and Allison sitting beside each other, not another bad memory. I walk over taking the seat across from the two. I notice I'm sitting reading a book and Allison is just picking her nails. An eerie silence fills the room neither of the two wishing to speak to each other. Ashley looks over to the girl who has everything she ever wanted and sighs.
"Why do you hate me?" she bluntly asks, turning to look Allison in the eye. Allison was taken aback, unsure of how to reply without her obnoxious boyfriend helping her. "W-well you are always making a fool of us!" She stutters, the young me and I laugh "Really? No I think that's what Luther thinks, I want to know why you hate me." The girl responds, looking into Allisons eyes now. "I-You" Ash holds her hands up stopping Allison, "Now before you continue, remember to be honest"
"Y-you have everything, you have the charisma, you have loving parents, you have the perfect relationship, you don't need to lie to get what you want!" Allison mumbles but she ends up shouting, she was jealous... This surprised me at the time but looking back it was fairly obvious. That didn't give her an excuse for being an arsehole though.
"Everyone loves you! The world looks up to you for whatever reason and i-it sickens me!" I forgot about that part... it still hurts to hear, it was somewhat true. From the moment Reginald introduced me to the world they instantly liked me, I was unsure why as I came across as a 'cheeky little rascal' but the public like what the public like.
"Oh I see, well I'm sorry Allison, I just wanted to be your friend is all..." Young Ashley says turning her head to the floor and opening the book again. I glare over at Allison noticing her squirm in her seat for a second as if she is trying to think of a response.
"...Yeah well I don't want to be yours." is all she said. I wince remembering this, it was a photoshoot a magazine company wanted to do, the headline would be "The Super Sisters!" original I know but they said it would get reads, personally I didn't give a rat's ass about this shoot but Allison cared, she wanted to be the centre of attention on it, so she was, they had her on one side of the cover with a make up crew surrounding her getting her ready. She stood with a smile on her face and her arms at the sides of her tilted head. The otherside consisted of me standing myself. I decided to be myself rather than a fake mess, they gave me two fake pistols so I held them as usual, my hand on my hip holding the gun, other on my head using to gun to salute out to the reader, this was my greeting and it became a sort of trademark move. I was also standing on three books, not only due to my height but because I liked to read. After reminicing I am brought back to the pitch black world.
"For god's sake Ash wake up, standing around and reliving memories isn't exactly fun" I groan walking around the abyss looking for the next mirror. When I eventually find it, it's different from the rest. It had a ornate golden frame. "Hmm must be important" I say walking over to gaze into it. I'm shocked as I come face to face with myself, my current reflection. "Wooa well I've... changed?" Staring back is myself, uniform on, however white electricty seems to be zapping out from me, giving me an electric white aura. My eyes have gone black with white pupils and my hair platinum blonde at shoulder length. I am still however, 13. I reach out to touch my eyes when suddenly a flash of white blinds me.
"She's awake!" is all I hear, before I hazily open my eyes.
