The Demon From The Mirror by atheela_123

She woke up to hear knocking on glass At first she thought it was from the window Until she heard it came from the mirror again --- Mirrors are a door to another dimension, and you can't just walk right through it. Well you could, if the people known as 'reflections' weren't hired to keep us out --- Sometimes mirrors may look appeasing to the eye, but maybe it could be hiding something inside of it. And that something could change your life. For better or for worse. --- That is what happened to Emily Smith. Your normal teenage girl. Well, she used to be a bubbly, happy person. --- Was? You may ask. Yes, was, because her friend backstabbed her. She never saw it coming. No one did. --- But that's the thing, you never see it coming, you never do. The same person to back stab you will be the same person to ask you why you are bleeding. --- So, what happens when one day Emily stumbles across an old deserted house and she finds a mirror? --- ALL IDEAS ARE ORIGINALLY MINE!! ALL THESE EVENTS CAME FROM MY BRAIN (i somehow have one) PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY BOOK OR IDEAS!! --- Cover by : katielou1765 ---
