She walked over to the mirror to tie up her hair, and her heart stopped. There was no reflection. The faded outline of a person became clearer and clearer. Yet, the girl staring back at her wasn't Sammie. This girl had thick, dark hair, coiling around her neck and shoulders like black snakes. Her eyes were a poisonous green that seemed to glow, and they were outlined in black eyeliner.  "Who are you?" Sammie whispered. The girl breathed on the mirror, turning it a foggy grey. She took her finger, and traced letters onto the glass. MARA.   Sammie was in enough trouble as it was; a dying business in a small town, little money and unpaid bills; with out the moody ghost of a deceased teenager showing up and asking for her help to figure out the unsolvable mystery of her death. Sammie is thrust into a dangerous game of detective work, with nobody but a dead girl to help her. Will she solve the mystery? And what will she discover on the way?

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.

ALL THESE EVENTS CAME FROM MY BRAIN (i somehow have one) PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY BOOK OR IDEAS!! --- Cover by : katielou1765 ---
